To develop sewage treatment apparatus by natural purification method, the sewage treatment plant that consisted of aerobic and anaerobic plot was constructed. And then, the effects of treatment conditions on the removal of pollutants in the relation to sewage loading, sewage injection method and season according to the pebble kind. Removal rate of BOD and COD according to the sewage loading in effluent were over 95 and 77%, respectively. Removal rate of nitrogen in treated water by aerobic plot and effluent using sand were about 22~40 and 49~75%, respectively. Those of effluent using sand 75%+ oyster shell 25% and sand 50%+ oyster shell 50% as filter media in comparison with using sand were about 7~25 and 16~23%, respectively. Removal rate of phosphorus in treated water by aerobic plot and effluent using sand as filter media were about 30~36 and 52~56%, respectively. Those of effluent using sand 75%+ oyster shell 25% and sand 50%+ oyster shell 50% in comparison with using sand as filter media were about 11~40 and 12~45%, respectively. Removal efficiency of BOD and COD according to the intermittent injection method of sewage were slightly decreased, but those of nitrogen and phosphorus were little varied in comparison with continuous injection method. Removal efficiency of BOD and COD in winter in comparison with the others were little varied, but those of nitrogen and phosphorus slightly decreased.

In order to develop a high cellulolytic direct-fed microorganism (DFM) for ruminant productivity improvement, this study isolated cellulolytic bacteria from the rumen of Holstein dairy cows, and compared their cellulolytic abilities via DM degradability, gas production and cellulolytic enzyme activities. Twenty six bacteria were isolated from colonies grown in Dehority's artificial (DA) medium with 2% agar and cultured in DA medium containing filter paper at $39^{\circ}C$ for 24h. 16s rDNA gene sequencing of four strains from isolated bacteria showed that H8, H20 and H25 strains identified as Ruminococcus flavefaciens, and H23 strain identified as Fibrobacter succinogenes. H20 strain had higher degradability of filter paper compared with others during the incubation. H8 (R. flavefaciens), H20 (R. flavefaciens), H23 (F. succinogenes), H25 (R. flavefaciens) and RF (R. flavefaciens sijpesteijn, ATCC 19208) were cultured in DA medium with filter paper as a single carbon source for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 days without shaking at $39^{\circ}C$, respectively. Dry matter degradability rates of H20, H23 and H25 were relatively higher than those of H8 and RF since 2 d incubation. The cumulative gas production of isolated cellulolytic bacteria increased with incubation time. At every incubation time, the gas production was highest in H20 strain. The activities of carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) and Avicelase in the culture supernatant were significantly higher in H20 strain compared with others at every incubation time (p<0.05). Therefore, although further researches are required, the present results suggest that H20 strain could be a candidate of DFM in animal feed due to high cellulolytic ability.

한국 재래산양에서 분리된 Neocallimastix sp NLRI-3을 이용하여 기질의 종류에 따른 미생물의 성장 특성 및 효소단백질의 발현양상을 비교하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 혐기배지에 glucose, starch, 볏짚, filter paper, CMC, sigmacell, xylan 및 xylose를 0.2% 수준으로 첨가하여 배양하였다. 배양결과 가스 발생량은 96시간대에서 filter paper 배지에서 가장 높았고 CMC배지에서 가장 낮게 조사되었다(P<0.05). 곰팡이 포자 발생량은 72시간대에서 살펴보면 처리구들 중 볏짚 배지에서 가장 높게 나타났다 (P<0.05). 곰팡이가 분비하는 enzyme activity는 보통 72시간대 이후부터 급격히 증가함을 보이는데 CMCase의 경우에 filter paper disc, sigmacell, xylose에서 활성이 높게 나타났다. xylanase 역가는 starch, rice straw, sigmacell에서 높게 나타났다. Zymogram을 이용하여 각 효소단백질의 발현을 분석한 결과 효소단백질의 발현양상은 전 처리구에 걸쳐 유사하였으나 발현정도는 기질의 종류에 따라 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, zymogram 결과에 의해 6개의 CMCase와 4개의 xylanase가 검출 되었다. 본 연구의 결과로 혐기성 곰팡이의 효소단백질은 배양액에 존재하는 기질의 종류에 의해 발현정도가 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 산업적으로 이용 가능한 혐기곰팡이 유래 효소제의 개발에 필요한 배양조건의 결정에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In order to obtain the cellulolytic bacterial consortia, sediments from Great Basin hot springs (Nevada, USA) were sampled and enriched with cellulosic biomass as the sole carbon source. The bacterial composition of the resulting anaerobic ethanol-producing celluloytic bacterial consortium, named SV79, was analyzed. With methods of the full-length 16S rRNA library-based analysis and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, 21 bacteria belonging to eight genera were detected from this consortium. Clones with closest relation to the genera Acetivibrio, Clostridium, Cellulosilyticum, Ruminococcus, and Sporomusa were predominant. The cellulase activities and ethanol productions of consortium SV79 using different agricultural residues (sugarcane bagasse and spent mushroom substrate) and energy crops (Spartina anglica, Miscanthus floridulus, and Pennisetum sinese Roxb) were studied. During cultivation, consortium SV79 produced the maximum filter paper activity (FPase, 9.41 U/ml), carboxymethylcellulase activity (CMCase, 6.35 U/ml), and xylanase activity (4.28 U/ml) with sugarcane bagasse, spent mushroom substrate, and S. anglica, respectively. The ethanol production using M. floridulus as substrate was up to 2.63 mM ethanol/g using gas chromatography analysis. It has high potential to be a new candidate for producing ethanol with cellulosic biomass under anoxic conditions in natural environments.

Responses of the rumen fungus, Neocallimastix frontalis RE1, to long chain fatty acid (LCFA) were evaluated by measuring gas production, filter paper (FP) cellulose digestion and polysaccharidase enzyme activities. LCFA (stearic acid, $C_{18:0}$; oleic acid, $C_{18:1}$; linoleic acid, $C_{18:2}$ and linolenic acid, $C_{18:3}$) were emulsitied by ultrasonication under anaerobic condition, and added to the medium. When N frontalis RE1 was grown in culture with stearic, oleic and linoleic acid, the cumulative gas production, gas pool size, FP cellulose digestion and enzymes activities significantly (p<0.05) increased at some incubation times(especially, exponential phases of fungal growth, 48~120 h of incubation) relative to that for control cultures. However, the addition of linolenic acid strongly inhibited all of the investigated parameters up to 120 h incubation, but not after 168 and 216 h of incubation. These results indicated that stearic, oleic and linoleic acids tended to have great stimulatory effects on fungal cellulolysis, whereas linolenic acid caused a significant (p<0.05) inhibitory effects on the cellulolysis by the rumen fungus. These results are the first report of the effect of LCFAs on the ruminal fungi. Further research is needed to identify the mode of action of LCFAs on fungal strains and to verify whether or not ruminal fungi have ability to hydrate unsaturated LCFAs to saturated FAs. There was high correlation between cumulative in vitro gas production and fungal growth (94.78%), FP cellulose degradation (96.34%), CMCase activity(90.86%) or xylanase activity (87.67%). Thus measuring of cumulative gas production could be a useful tool for evaluating fungal growth and/or enzyme production by ruminal fungi.

The degradation mode of lignocellulose by anaerobic ruminal cellulolytic bacterium Ruminococcus albus F-40 was investigated. Birchwood holocellulose and filter paper were incubated as the sole carbohydrate sources with using the Hungate techniques. After 2 or 4 days of incubation, samples were employed for chemical and electron microscopic evaluations. The degradation rate of cellulosic substrates and the adhesion rate of bacteria to the substrates increased proportionally with the decrease of relative crystallinity of cellulose, indicating the preferential breakdown of amorphous cellulose, by this bacterium. X-ray diffraction analyses and polarized light microscopy showed, however, that crystalline cellulose was also degraded by R. albus. FT-IR spectra indicated that not only cellulose but hemicellulose was also degraded by this bacterium. Electron microscopic investigations showed the protuberant structures on the surface of R. albus. These structures were much more significant when bacterial cells were grown in the media containing insoluble substrates, such as cellulose, indicating clearly that bacterial protuberant structures were induced by the substrates. Protuberant structures extended from the bacterial cells adhered tightly to the substrates and numerous vesicles covered the surface of cellulosic substrates affected. Cellulosome-like structures were distributed on the cellulose matrix. Electron microscopic works showed that diverse surface organells of R. albus were involved in the degradation of cellulosic materials. SEM examinations showed the breakdown of cellulose by R. albus was proceeded by severeal routes : short fiber formation, defibrillation and destrafication of cellulose microfibril.

자연정화공법에 의한 농촌 전원 독립가구 하수처리공법 개발을 위하여 호기성조와 혐기성조가 분리된 소형 하수처리 장치에서 혐기성조 위에 호기성조를 포갠 일체형으로 공법을 개선한 소형 하수처리장치를 설계 및 시공하여 하수처리공법별, 하수 부하량 및 하수 주입방법에 따른 수처리 효율을 조사하였다. 소형 하수처리장치의 최적공법은 호기-무산소-혐기조건이었으며, 최적여재는 쇄석이었고, 최적 하수 부하량은 $1,200L/m^3{\cdot}day$이었다. 이러한 조건에서 농촌 전윈 독립가구에서 간헐적으로 배출되는 하수에 대한 대응성을 조사하기 위해 하수 주입방법에 따른 하수처리효율을 조사한 결과 농촌 전원 독립가구 하수처리공법으로 개발된 호기-무산소-혐기조건인 소형 하수처리장치는 실제 농촌 전원독립가구에서 간헐적으로 발생되는 하수에 그대로 적용하더라도 현행 방류수 수질기준인 BOD 20 mg/L, COD 40 mg/L, SS 20 mg/L, T-N 60 mg/L 및 T-P 8 mg/L을 만족할 뿐만 아니라, 방류수 수질기준이 앞으로 BOD 10 mg/L, T-N 20 mg/L 및 T-P 2 mg/L로 강화되더라도 안정적으로 처리될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과에서 농촌 전원 독립가구 하수처리공법으로 개발한 호기-무산소-혐기조건인 소형 하수처리장치는 BOD 99%, COD 95%, SS 99%, T-N 83% 및 T-P 96%초 질소 처리효율을 호기성조와 혐기성조가 분리된 소형 하수처리장치에 비해 17%정도 향상시켰으며, 모든 조가 일체형이므로 부지면적을 최소화할 수 있다. 따라서 본 공법은 자연정화공법의 단점을 보완할 수 있으므로 농촌 전원 독립가구에 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

This study induced biological denitrification and nitrification via a biofiltration process with the view of removing nitrogen from land-based fish farm effluent. To achieve this, we operated an aquaculture nitrogen-removal system that includes a denitrification and nitrification reactor [working volume 40 L, flow rate 64.8 L, HRT (hydraulic retention time) 14.8 h, HRT considering recycling of NOx 7.4 h]. In the continuous process, the nitrification rate of ammonium nitrogen exceeded 90% at a steady state and the denitrification efficiency exceeded 80% with recycling to a pre-anoxic reactor. In addition, the pH in the final effluent was lower with a low influent water alkalinity averaging 100 mg/L (as $CaCO_3$). For effective denitrification reactions, carbon must be supplied via particulate organic matter (POM) hydrolysis because of the low C/N (carbon/nitrogen) ratio in the water.

본 연구는 다가올 물 부족에 따른 하나의 대안으로서 중수도 시스템에 초점을 맞추어, 생활오수를 이용하여 혐기/무산소/호기조의 $A^2O$ 생물막 공법으로 구성된 상향류식 고정상 담체 반응기로 처리한 오수를 하향류식 은나노 모래여과 반응기에 다시 연속 통과시켜 이중 처리하여 얻은 처리수를 중수도에 활용이 가능하지에 대하여 연구하였다. 이중 공정 후 배출수의 pH는 $7.39{\sim}8.06$(평균 7.84) 범위이었고, $COD_{Mn}$은 $8{\sim}18mg/L$(평균 12.1 mg/L), $BOD_5$는 $2.1{\sim}10mg/L$(평균 4.9 mg/L)로 중수도 수질 기준에 적합하였다. SS는 $3{\sim}9mg/L$의 범위로 평균 농도가 4.95 mg/L를 나타내면서 SS 제거율이 94.8%로 대부분 법적 기준치 5 mg/L 이하로 처리되어 가능성을 보여 주었다. 대장균군 수의 평균 제거율이 99.1%이었으며, 배출수의 평균 대장균 군수는 65 MPN/100mL이 검출되었으나 중수도 수질 기준에는 불검출로 되어 있으므로 완벽한 제거를 위해서는 0.2 mg/L 이상의 결합잔류염소의 양을 고려한 염소 처리를 하여야 한다. SEM 사진으로부터 은모래 표면에서는 박테리아가 존재하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 이 외에 중수도 수질 기준에 포함될 가능성이 있는 총질소 및 총인의 제거율은 각각 50.3%와 27.2%이었다.

Bacterial numbers, such as endospore-formers, and treatment efficiencies were investigated for Rotating Activated Bacillus Contactors (RABC) and other advanced wastewater treatment processes including anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A2O), sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and biological aerated filter (BAF). Endospore-forming bacterial numbers in the RABC showed 129-fold higher levels than those of the existing advanced systems. RABC process demonstrated the highest bacterial numbers in its bioreactors (paired t-test, p<0.01). RBC biofilms and aeration tanks of the RABC system showed 131- and 476-fold higher than other existing advanced processes, respectively. Mean treatment efficiencies of the existing systems were 83.5% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 59.1% for total nitrogen (TN) and 76.8% for total phosphorus (TP). However, RABC process removed 96.9% for COD, 96.9% for TN and 91.9% for TP for highly concentrated food wastewater (COD>1,500 mg/L, TN>150 mg/L, TP>50 mg/L). Treatment efficiency was significantly reduced when the numbers of Bacillus genus in the bioreactors decreased below $10^6CFU/mL$. The automated RABC (A-RABC), in which dissolved oxygen concentrations are automatically controlled, showed higher treatment efficiencies compared to the RABC process. The RABC system maintained sufficient bacterial numbers for the effective treatment of highly concentrated food wastewater. Moreover, final effluent was in agreement to water quality standards.
