Adsorption and biodegradation performance of tetracycline antibiotic compounds such as ttetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), minocycline (MNC), chlortetracycline (CTC), doxycycline (DXC), meclocycline (MCC), demeclocycline (DMC) on granular activated carbon (GAC) and anthracite-biofilter were evaluated in this study. Removal efficiency of seven tetracycline antibiotic compounds showed 54%~97% by GAC adsorption process (EBCT: 5~30 min). The orders of removal efficiency by GAC adsorption were tetracycline, demeclocycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, doxytetracycline, meclocycline and minocycline. Removal efficiencies of seven tetracycline antibiotic compounds showed 1%~61% by anthracite biofiltration process (EBCT: 5~30 min). The highest biodegradable tetracycline antibiotic compound was minocycline, and the worst biodegradable tetracycline antibiotic compounds were oxytetracycline and demeclocycline.

입상활성탄 재질별 신탄 및 사용탄에서의 tetracycline계 항생물질 4종에 대한 파과특성의 경우 석탄계 활성탄이 가장 늦게 파과에 도달하였으며, 다음으로 야자계, 목탄계 순으로 조사되었다. 또한, 물질별 활성탄에서의 파과특성을 살펴보면 tetracycline(TC)의 파과시점이 가장 늦은 것으로 나타났으며, 다음으로 oxytetracycline(OTC), chlortetracycline(CTC), minocycline(MNC)으로 나타났다. 활성탄 g당 tetracycline계 항생물질 4종에 대한 최대 흡착량(X/M)은 석탄계 활성탄이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 다음으로 야자계와 목탄계 순으로 나타났다. tetracycline계 항생물질 4종에 대한 석탄계 활성탄의 최대 흡착량(X/M)은 야자계와 목탄계 활성탄에 비해 각각 1.27$\sim$1.36배 및 1.69$\sim$1.84배 정도 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 활성탄 사용율(carbon usage rate, CUR)은 tetracycline의 경우 석탄계 재질의 활성탄이 2.96 g/일, 야자계나 목탄계 활성탄은 각각 3.40 g/day 및 4.53 g/day의 활성탄을 사용하여야만 제어가 가능한 것으로 조사되어 석탄계 활성탄이 다른 재질의 활성탄들에 비해 적은 양으로도 tetracycline계 항생물질을 제어할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 나머지 tetracycline계 항생물질 3종에서도 이와 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, 석탄계 활성탄 신탄과 사용탄에 대한 CUR을 비교해보면 tetracycline의 경우 신탄을 사용하였을 경우 보다 1.3년 사용탄 및 3.1년 사용탄을 사용하였을 경우가 CUR이 1.96배 및 2.53배 정도 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The aim of study was to investigate the correlation between the level of 17 antibiotic residues and 6 antibiotic resistances of Escherichia coli isolates in chicken meats. A total of 58 chicken meats were collected from retail grocery stores in five provinces in Korea. The total detection rate of antibiotic residues was 45% (26 out of 58). Ten out of 17 antibiotics were detected in chicken meats. None of the antibiotics exceeded the maximum residue level (MRLs) in chicken established by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). The most detected antibiotics were amoxicillin (15.5%), followed by enrofloxacin (12.1%) and sulfamethoxazole (10.3%). In a total of 58 chicken meats, 51 E. coli strains were isolated. E. coli isolates showed the highest resistance to ampicillin (75%), followed by tetracycline (69%), ciprofloxacin (65%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (41%), ceftiofur (22%), and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (12%). The results of study showed basic information on relationship between antibiotic residue and resistance for 6 compounds in 13 chicken samples. Further investigation on the antibiotic resistance patterns of various bacteria species is needed to improve food safety.

There has been increasing concern in recent years about the occurrence, fate and toxicity of pharmaceutical products in aquatic environment. Although these compounds have been detected in a wide variety of environmental samples including sewage effluent, surface waters, ground water and drinking water, their concentrations generally range from the low ppt to ppb levels. It is therefore often thought to be unlikely that pharmaceuticals will have a detrimental effect on the environment. This study was conducted to determine the endocrine disruption effects of the several pharmaceutical residues in water using adult Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). The common antibiotics were used sulfa durgs (sulfamethoxazole and sulfamethazine) and tetracycline drugs (oxytetracycline and tetracycline). Positive control that was induced Vtg (vitellogenin) in male fish was used $17\beta$-estradiol. Vtg was qualified and quantified through Western blotting and ELISA. After SDS gel electrophoresis, the dominant protein band was identified to molecular weight approximately 205 kDa in whole body samples of vitellogenic female. In female medaka exposed to $17\beta$estradiol, there was no significant difference in total protein induction. In contrast, three to five day exposure of male fish to $17\beta$-estradiol resulted in more than 60.0% increase of total protein compared to that of control males (p<0.01). In case of antibiotics, female fish didn't show significant difference, but male fish was showed significant difference. In addition, Vtg induction in male fish was observed with all the test chemicals. On concentrations greater than 0.1 ppm of sulfamethoxazole, 1 ppm of sulfamethazine, 1 ppm of oxytetracycline and 20 ppm of tetracycline, Vtg induction was increased in a dose response manner. This study is one of the early reports suggesting potential endocrine disruption mechanism of antibiotic pharmaceutical products in aquatic ecosystem. Although the effect concentrations obtained from this study were high as unrealistically as in environments, it is endocrine disruption that we should be considered as one of the important consequences of pharmaceutical contamination at water environment, and warrants due attention in future researches.

남해안에 위치한 원유저장기지내의 각 정점으로 부터 원유분해세균을 분리하여 동정한 결과 Pseudomonas fluorescens, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas maltophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 등으로 동정되었다. 원유를 탄소원으로 첨가한 최소배지상에서 원유분해능을 나타내었으며, 0.5%에서 6%까지의 NaCl 농도변화에 대한 원유분해능을 비교한 결과 5종의 원유분해균이 NaCl의 농도가 증가하였을 경우에는 원유분해능이 상실됨을 확인하였다. 또한 원유는 복잡한 유기화합물로 구성이 되어 있어 분리된 원유분해균이 n-decane, n-hexane, n-octane, n-dodecane 등의 간단한 탄화수소를 자화하는지를 확인하였다. 분리된 원유분해균이 plasmid를 가지는 지를 확인한 결과 Pseudomonas fluorescens 및 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 등에서 분자량이 매우 큰 plasmid가 존재함을 확인하고 ampicillin, tetracycline 및 chloramphenicol등의 항생제에 대한 내성을 조사한 결과 내성을 나타내어 원유분해에 관련된 유전자와 항생제내성을 나타내는 유전자가 plasmid상에 존재할 가능성이 높음을 알수 있다.

Objectives: Semecarpus anacardium Linn. is a plant well-known for its antimicrobial, antidiabetic and anti-arthritic properties in the Ayurvedic and Siddha system of medicine. This has prompted the screening of this plant for antibacterial activity. The main aims of this study were to isolate compounds from the plant's seeds and to evaluate their antibacterial effects on clinical bacterial test strains. Methods: The n-butanolic concentrate of the seed extract was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) and repeated silica gel column chromatography followed by elution with various solvents. The compound was identified based on observed spectral (IR, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry) data. The well diffusion method was employed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of the isolated acyclic isoprenoid compound (final concentration: $5-15{\mu}g/mL$) on four test bacterial strains, namely, Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96), Bacillus cereus (MTCC 430), Escherichia coli (MTCC 1689) and Acinetobacter baumannii (MTCC 9829). Results: Extensive spectroscopic studies showed the structure of the isolated compound to be an acyclic isoprenoid ($C_{21}H_{32}O$). Moreover, the isoprenoid showed a remarkable inhibition of bacterial growth at a concentration of $15{\mu}g/mL$ compared to the two other doses tested (5 and $10{\mu}g/mL$) and to tetracycline, a commercially available antibiotic that was used as a reference drug. Conclusion: The isolation of an antimicrobial compound from Semecarpus anacardium seeds validates the use of this plant in the treatment of infections. The isolated compound found to be active in this study could be useful for the development of new antimicrobial drugs.
