Malodorous gas of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was biologically oxidized to sulfate by Thiobacillus thioparus TK-m (DSM5368) immobilized in/on ceramic beads. More than 99.99％ of DMS removal efficiency was obtained in a ceramic-biofilter reactor of 3.91 when the feed concentrations were about 27.5 and 55.0 mg DMS/1 at $30^{circ}C$. However, the removal efficiency of the biofilter at above $40^{circ}C$ decreased to 4.5 mg DMS/(lㆍmin) which was 85％ of that at $30^{circ}C$.

A three phase fluidized bed bioreactor immobilized with Thiobacillus sp. IW was tested to remove hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan with high loading rate. In a single gas treatment, the bioreactor removed 92- 98％ of hydrogen sulfide with loading rate of 15- 66 g/l/h and removed 87-98％ of methylmercaptan with loading rate of 14-60 gl/sup -1/h/sup -1/. In the mixed gas treatment, the removal efficiencies of hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan maintained at 89-99％ for various inlet loading rates and were not affected by the inlet loading ratio of both gases in low loading rates. When the inlet concentration of methylmercaptan increased 3.8 times and was maintained for 30 h to observe the response of the bioreactor to sudden environmental change, the removal efficiency of methylmercaptan was maintained at an average of 91％.

The growth of T. novellus in auto trophic and geterotrophic media was studied to determine the time required for cells to enter stationary phase and relative percentage of ribosomal proteins. When T. novellus was grown autotrophically, growth proceeded at a slow rate characteristic of autotrophs and did not enter log phase until the end of the first day. Logarithmic growth proceeded for 3-4 days at which time the cells entered the stationary phase. In particular, logarithmic growth was accompanied by decreasing pH of culture media and in the stationary phase the pH levelled off at 6.0, a decrease of 1.6 pH value compared to original pH of media. The pH decrease was greatest during log phase when cells oxidized thiosulfate to $H_{2}$$SO_{4}$. The doubling time was about 26h. In heterotrophic media growth proceeded at a much faster rate and cells entered stationary phase 20-22h after inoculation. The doubling time was 3h. The protein content of the ribosomes in T. novellus grown heterotrophically was 4.2% greater than those from the organism grown autotrophically.

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans를 이용한 보다 효율적이고 현장에 직접 응용할 수 있는 우라늄 침출공정을 개발하기 위하여 배양조건의 확립과 교반 반응기 및 이중기포탑 반융기에서의 우라늄 침출에 대한 연구 를 수행하였다. 배지의 초기 $Fe^{2+}$ 농도는 원광석 40g/L에 대하여 16.2g/L를 이용하는 것이 적합하였으며, 원광석의 업자는 작을수록 우라늄 침출율이 증가하였다. 또한 원광석의 첨가량이 많을수록 우라늄의 침출속도는 증가하였으나 침출율은 약간씩 감소하였다. 교반 반 응기 빛 이중기포탑 반응기에서의 우라늄 침출에 대한 실험을 최적조건에서 수행한 결과 교반 반응기에 서는 진탕배양기에서와 통일하게 12일 배양시 39.3%의 침출율로 5.5mgjL의 우라늄을 얻었다. 반면 이중기포탑 반응기에서는 교반 반응기에 비하여 세 균수가 2.4배 증가하였으며, 우라늄의 침출율과 침출된 우라늄 농도도 각각 91.4%와 12.8mgjL으로 교반 반응기 보다 2.3배 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 이중기포탑 반응기에서는 충분한 양의 산소와 이산 화탄소의 공급과 원광석의 혼합이 잘됨으로써 세균 의 활성이 크게 증가하여 우라늄 침출이 향상된 것으로 추정된다.

The bioleaching of heavy metals from fly ash was performed by Thiobacillus thiooxidans MET isolated from the enrichment culture of an anaerobically digested sludge. The effect of solid concentrations on the efficiency of metal leaching was studied in shaken flasks. In the range of solid concentrations 20 g.L­$^1$to 100 g.L­$^1$T. thiooxidans MET oxidized S$^{0}$ to sulfate without any lag period. The final pH of slurry solution was decreased to below pH 1, and the final oxide-redox potential (ORP) was increased to over 420 mV in the solid concentrations below 100 g.L­$^1$. However, the initial lag period of 4 to 8 days was required to obtain the pH reduction and ORP increase of the slurry solutions in the range of solid concentrations 150 g.L­$^1$to 300 g.L­$^1$. The sulfur oxidation rate of T. thiooxidans MET in 20~100 g.L­$^1$solid concentrations was 0.70~0.75 g-S.L­$^1$ㆍ d­$^1$, but its sulfur oxidation activity was remarkably inhibited with increasing solid concentration over 150 g.L­$^1$. Increasing fly ash solids concentration in the range of solids concentration 20 g.L­$^1$ to 200 g.L­$^1$decreased the removal efficiency of Zn, Cu, Mn, Cr and Pb. The solubilization of heavy metals from fly ash was strongly correlated with the pH value of slurry solution. When the pH of slurry solution was reduced to 3, the solubilization process of Zn, Cu and Mn started, and their solubilization efficiency of Zn, Cu and Mn was progressively increased below pH 2. However, the solubilization process of Cr and Pb started at pH 2.5 and 2.0, respectively.

황화수소 산화반응에 이용할 수 있는 균주를 전남 화순 근교의 폐탄광수에서 분리하였다. 분리균주는 형태적, 생리학적 빛 화학합성 특정에 기준으로 보 면 Thiobacillus sp. IW.로 동정되어진다. 분리된 균주의 최적 배양온도는 $30^{\circ}C$였고, 최적 pH는 7이며, pH 3~pH 9 사이의 넓은 성장범위를 가지고 있었다. 액상배지에 축적된 sulfate 농도가 배지의 pH를 감소시켜 결국 균의 성장을 억제하는 작용을 하였다. 최대 비증식속도인$\mu_{max}=0.78^{-1}$이었고, 세대시 간은 0.9시간으로 나타났다. 분리균주는 질소원으로 potassium nitrate나 glutamic acid를 이용하였으나, urea나 ammonium chloride는 이용하지 못하였다. 기본배지에 첨가된 malate는 전혀 이용하지 못 하였고, Sodium thiosulfate를 에너지원으로 이용하 면 균체량은 $6.25mg/\ell.h$였으며, 대수성장기는 18 시간으로 나타났다. 이의 결과로 미루어 보아 분리 균주는 황화수소 등의 악취 제거에 유용한 균주로 사료되어 진다.

Thiobacillus thioparus TK-m에서 메칠머캅탄(MM) 가스를 기질로 메칠머캅탄 산화효소(MMO)를 유도할 수 있었으며 DEAE-Sephacel과 Superose 12 컬럼 크로마토그래피를 이용하여 정제하였다. 이때 얻어진 각 효소의 비활성은 각각 374과 1240.8 units/mg-protein이었으며 효소의 최적 온도는 $55\;^{circ}C$였다. 상기 정제된 효소액은 SDS-PAGE상에서 66.1 kDa의 분자량을 가지며 20 mM $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 혹은 200 mM NaCl의 첨가에 대해 최대 활성을 보였다. 글리세린, 에탄올, 아세톤의 첨가에 대해 효소활성은 부분적으로 불활성화되었으며 메탄올에 대해서는 저해받지 않았다. Purpald 발색법을 이용한 흡광도의 변화는 구강내 존재하는 MM 가스로부터 생성될 수 있는 수 십 nmol의 범위의 포름알데하이드에 대해 눈으로 인지가능한 발색시스템에 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

이 연구는 전기화학적 배양법과 호기성 조건을 유지함으로써 Thiobacillus ferrooxidans의 밀도가 높게 유지될 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 최적 pH는 $2.0{\pm}0.05$로 결정하고 1vvm의 Air를 공급하였다 전류와 전압은 0.15A, 4V로 유지하였고 Pt 전극에서 85%의 효율로 $Fe^{3+}$ 를 $Fe^{2+}$로 환원시켰다. 이러한 조건에의 배양에서 초기 건조셀 밀도 0.0025 g-dry cell/L에서 8일 후에는 0.0576 g-dry cell/L에 이르렀다. 이는 같은 조건에서 고전적인 배양법에 의한 것보다 7배가 높은 값이다.

Effects of 13 organic compounds including glucose, fructose, xylose, glutamate, succinate, malate, glycine, lactate, acetate, pyruvate, citrate, formate and cis-aconitate on the oxidation of thiosulfate and the availability of these compounds as the substrate for the respiration by Thiobacillus ocncretivorus, which is known to be an obligated autotroph, were studied. Malate nad glycine at 0.5 per cent concentration nearly doubled the thiosulfate oxidation compared to the control. No other organic substances enhanced the thiosulfate oxidation compared to the control. No other organic substances enhanced the thiosulfate oxidation. Moreover, some 30 to 40 per cent decrease was recorded by fructose, sulfate-salts medium, some 30 to 40 per cent decrease was recorded by fructose, citrate, xylose, malate, flucose, glutamate and succinate. No respiration could occur when formate and pyruvate were supplied as the substrate for respiration. But it was obvious that flucose, fructose, xylose, glutamate, malate, citrate and succinate could be used as the substrate for respiration to some extent, regarding the fact that some increase in respiration rates could be recorded compared to the result from the salts medium, where neither thiosulfate nor orgnic compounds were added. Thus, it was postulated that this organism could possibly be converted into mixotroph or hetrotroph if appropriate conditions could be prepared.
