Biosorption characteristics were investigated at various temperature and pH conditions in order to establish lead(II) removal using Zoogloea ramigera 115SLR. Biosorption equilibrium isotherms and kinetics were obtained from batch experiments. The Freundlich and Langmuir model could be described the biosorption equilibrium of lead(II) on Z. ramigera 115SLR, Ca-alginate bead and immobilized Z. ramigera 115SLR. The maximum biosorption capacity of Z. ramigera 115SLR increased from 325 to 617mg $pb^{2+}/g$ biomass as temperature increased from 288.15 K to 308.15K from the Langmuir model. Fixed-bed column breakthrough curves for lead(II) removal were also obtained. For regeneration of the biosorbent, complete lead(II) desorption was achieved using 5mM HCl in fixed-bed column. This study shows the possibilities that well-treated immobilized Z. ramigera 115SLR with the mechanical intensity like TEOS (Tetraethyl orthosilicate) treatment and the optimum acid solution for desorption can be used for the effective treatment for lead(II) containing wastewater.

Capsular polymer인 zooglan을 생산하는 Z. ramigera 115와 수용성 slime polymer 생산 변이주인 Z. ramigera l15SLR의 중금속 제거능을 비교하였다. 중금속 5종($Cd^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$)의 최저 생장저해농도는 두 균주 모두 유사하였다. $Cd^{2+}$을 첨가하지 않은 경우에 비해 $Cd^{2+}$ 500ppm을 첨가한 액체 배지에서의 생체량은 Z. ramigera 115는 24%, Z. ramigera l15SLR은 50%로 감소하였고 동일한 생체량에 대하여 Z. ramigera 115SLR이 Z. ramtgera 115보다 $Cd^{2+}$을 1.5배 더 제거하였다. 세포와 polymer를 분리하여 중금속 흡착능을 비교한 결과 polymer가 세포보다 높은 흡착량을 나타냈으며 최적 중금속 흡착 pH는 7.5였다. Langmuir 흡착등온선과 Freundlich 흡착등온선을 분석한 결과 $Cd^{2+}$에 대하여 Z. ramigera l15SLR polymer는 Z. ramigera 115 및 이온 교환 수지보다 높은 최대흡착량과 흡착안정성을 보여서 홉착제로서 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

Plasmid pLEX3 isolated from the recombinant cosmid library of Zoogloea ramigera 115 was found to be responsible for the restoration of the rugose colony phenotype. To confirm the essential region responsible for the complementation, subclones were constructed from plasmid pLEX3 and transformed into mutant strain Z. ramigera 115SLR. The recombinant plasmids pLEX10 and pLEX11 were shown to complement the slime-forming property of Z. ramigera 115SLR. In a compositional analysis of the exopolysaccharides from Z. ramigera 115, Z. ramigera 115SLR, and Z. ramigera 115SLR harboring plasmid pLEX11, the exopolysaccharides showed a similar composition with glucose, galactose, and side chain groups. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 3.25kb genocim DNA insert in plasmid pLEX11 was determined and its analysis identified two open reading frames which could encode two proteins. The gene products derived form the two open reading frames were confirmed by and in vivo transcription using a T7-RNA polymerase. The ORF1 produced a 30 kDa protein, whereas the ORF2 was found responsible for the complementation of the morphological mutation and produced a 14 kDa protein. An in vivo gene expression of plasmid pTEX10 showed another open reading frame encoding a 50 kDa protein. The gene products form ORF1 and ORF2 are regarded as novel proteins which do not show any homology with other proteins.

Mutants having altered levels and/or types of EPS in exopolysaccharide biosynthesis were isolated after NTG mutagenesis of Zoogloea ramigera 115SLR. Mutant candidates were classfied with five groups based on the observed characteristics for EPS biosynthesis pattern. The recombinant plasmids pLEX3BS and pLEX3BM were constructed from pEX3B which was previously isolated from genomic DNA of Z. ramigera 115SLR. Plasmid pLEX3BM with a 7.8 kb insert DNA contains an additional 1.8kb DNA fragment which is not present in pLEX3BS containing 13 kb insert DNA. Plasmid pLEX3BM was able to complement the mutation responsible for the changes in morphology of Z. ramigera 115SLR. However, the complementation of EPS negative mutant strains was not successful with pLEX3BM. Plasmid pLEX3BS on the other hand complemented the mutation responsible for the loss of EPS biosynthesis, resulting in the restoration of Z. ramigera 115SLR phenotype. But this plasmid was not able to complement the morphological mutant strain, Z. ramigera 115SLR.

The recombinant plasmid pLEX2FP complements the mutation in Zoogloea ramigera 115MM1, and the complemented mutant produces an exopolysaccharide that shows higher affinity for the calcofluor dye than the exopolysaccharide from Z. ramigera 115SLR, resulting in higher fluorescence intensity under UV light. A compositional and structural analysis of the exopolysaccharide from Z. ramigera 115MM1 showed that the different fluorescent properties were due to a lower content of acetyl groups when compared with Z. ramigera 115SLR exopolysaccharide. These results were in agreement with a sequence analysis of the gene carried in the plasmid pLEX2FP, which appeared to encode an O-acyltransferase highly homologous to the 3-O-acyltransferase of Streptomyces mycarofaciens. The gene encoding the acyltransferase from Z. ramigera 115SLR was expressed as a GST-fusion protein with 70,000 daltons in E. coli.

A gene coding for a pyruvyl transferase enzyme involved in exopolysaccharide biosynthesis of Zoogloea ramigera 115SLR was isolated and sequenced. A 4.5 kb of BamHI DNA fragment was isolated from chromosomal DNA using a probe derived from ketal pyruvyl transferase gene of Xanthomonas campestris. The nucleotide sequence of 2.66 kb Pst1/HindIII DNA fragment which was homology with a probe revealed the existence of two complete open reading frames (ORF2 and ORF3) and two partial open reading frames (ORFI and ORF4). The deduced amino acid sequence of ORF3 was homologous to the ketalase (GumL product) of X campestris with 49.5% of similarity and 21.6% of identity. ORF2 on the other hand showed the higher identity with the ketalase (ExoV product) of Rhizobium meliloti (36%) as well as the ketalase of X campestris (23%) than that of ORF3. A gene product of ORF2 was determined with a bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase/promoter system in E. coli. The molecular weight of protein was 33,500 dalton.
