최근 농산 바이오매스를 이용한 혐기적 메탄생산은 가장 실질적인 바이오 에너지 생산 방법으로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 국내의 경우 폐기물 처리 측면에서 가축분뇨, 음식물쓰레기, 하수슬러지에 대한 혐기소화 연구가 주를 이루고 있으며, 농업생산과정에서 발생하는 각종 농산 바이오매스에 대한 혐기소화 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 특히 국내에서 농산 바이오매스의 혐기적 매탄 생산 퍼텐셜은 측정 방법이 표준화되어 있지 않아 다양한 연구자들의 연구결과를 비교 활용하는데 어려움이 있어 왔다. 외국의 경우 독일은 VDI 4630, 미국은 ASTM E2170-01을 혐기적메탄 생산 퍼텐셜 및 유기물 분해율 분석의 표준분석 방법으로 활용하고 있다. 따라서 독일과 미국의 메탄생산 퍼텐셜 분석법을 비교 검토하여 메탄 생산 퍼텐셜을 정의하고, 분석방법, 영향인자, 기술적인 계산 방법등을 고찰하였다. 한편 국내외 농산 바이오매스의 메탄 생산 퍼텐셜 측정 현황을 살펴보고자, 국내의 경우에는 1980년대에 실시되었던 볏짚 등의 18종의 농산 바이오매스와 식품산업부산물 등의 연구 자료를 조사하였으며, 국외는 43개 농산바이오매스에 대하여 곡류, 채소류, 특용작물, 과수, 기타작물로 분류하고, 사료작물인 사탕수수, 사탕무, 옥수수 등은 에너지 작물로 분류하여 216건의 메탄 생산 퍼텐셜에 대한 연구자료를 조사하였다.

Sous vide and packaged cook-chilled soybean sprouts were evaluated for physicochemical quality changes and microbial safety during storage for the purposes of shelf-life extension and industrial application. The physicochemical changes assessed were color, texture, and ascorbic acid concentration. The quality of soybean sprouts became worse with increased periods of storage and better in storage temperature of $3^{\circ}C$ more than in $10^{\circ}C$. The concentration of aerobic bacteria decreased from $2.1{\times}10^8$ to $6.0{\times}10^2\;CFU/g$ after pasteurization, but increased during storage. These bacteria are the same shape as anaerobic and hsychrophilic bacteria, but none of these other organisms were detected after heat treatment. The physicochemical qualities of soybean sprouts and microbial safety were better for products stored at $3^{\circ}C$ than at $10^{\circ}C$. In the case of short storage periods, heat treatment at $70^{\circ}C$ for 2 min was most effective for quality and microbial safety.

Large efforts have recently been made on research and development of sustainable and energy-efficient short-cut nitrogen removal processes owing to strong attention to the energy neutral/positive wastewater treatment system. Anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria (anammox bacteria) have been highlighted since 1990's due to their unique advantages including 60% less energy consumption, nearly 100% reduction for carbon source requirement, and 80% less sludge production. Side-stream short-cut nitrogen removal using anammox bacteria and partial nitritation anammox (PN/A) has been well established, whereas substantial challenges remain to be addressed mainly due to undesired main-stream conditions for anammox bacteria. These include low temperature, low concentrations of ammonia, nitrite, free ammonia, free nitrous acid or a combination of those. In addition, an anammox side-stream nitrogen management is insufficient to reduce overall energy consumption for energy-neutral or energy positive water resource recovery facility (WRRF) and at the same time to comply with nitrogen discharge regulation. This implies the development of the successful main-stream anammox based technology will accelerate a conversion of current wastewater treatment plants to sustainable water and energy recovery facility. This study discusses the status of the research, key mechanisms & interactions of the protagonists in the main-stream PN/A, and control parameters and major challenges in process development.

Bacillus species predominantly outgrown in a night soil treatment system were isolated and characterized. Cell interactions took place among them and cell population changed under various culture conditions. Maximum removal of $NH_4\;^+-N$ and cell production occurred under the conditions of 30% DO and C/N ratio of 8. Additions of 0.8% peptone and 0.3% yeast extract to a basal medium influenced the growth of isolates and the removal of $NH_4\;^+-N$ in flask culture, and metal ions such as Ca, Fe and Mg also did. During the flask experiment of nitrogen removal under an aerobic condition, active nitrification by the isolates occurred largely in 1 h with the decrease of COD and alkalinity destructed was only 74.6% of theoretical value. From the nitrogen balance, the percentage of nitrogen lost in the flask culture was estimated to be 29.0%. This conversion of ammonia to $N_2$ under an aerobic condition was confirmed by GC analysis. The B3 process using the Bacillus species seemed to have some economic advantage.

It has been achieved 109.1 kg/d of BOD reduction that is equivalent to the amount of BOD loading discharged from 21,880 persons and dramatic decrease of the fallout ratio against water quality of effluent, from 42% to 9%, through technical support on ISTPs to be applied by the ISMSGA at the upper area of Geongan river in Yong-In city. It was clearly revealed that the most efficient configuration for ISTP was a series of anaerobic tank, equalization basin, aerobic tank, sedimentation tank, and then effluent tank. Also, the major causes on the fallout ratio of ISTP resulted in the lack of management (67.5%) and imperfect facilities (32.5%). Then, when compared the quantity of water supply with the design capacity of ISTP, the design capacity was estimated as 1.8 or 2.4 folds larger than the real quantity of water supply so that it is essential to punctually consider the key factors such as an estimation methods, the specificity of commission operator and construction by high systematic technologies to improve the water quality for the future.

Direct membrane filtration (DMF) of wastewater has many advantages over conventional biological wastewater treatment processes. DMF is not only compact, but potentially energy efficient due to the lack of biological aeration. It also produces more biosolids that can be used to produce methane gas through anaerobic digestion. Most of ammoniacal nitrogen in wastewater is preserved in effluent and is used as fertilizer when effluent is recycled for irrigation. In this study, a technical feasibility of DMF was explored. Organic and nitrogen removal efficiencies were compared between DMF and membrane bioreactor (MBR). Despite the extremely high F/V ratio, e.g., $14.4kg\;COD/m^3/d$, DMF provided very high COD removal efficiencies at ~93%. Soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were less in DMF sludge, but membrane fouling rate was far greater than in MBR. The diversity of microbial community in DMF appeared very narrow based on the morphological observation using optical microscope. On the contrary, highly diverse microbial community was observed in the MBR. Microorganisms tended to form jelly globs and attach on reactor wall in DMF. FT-IR study revealed that the biological globs were structurally supported by feather-like materials made of secondary amines. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) study showed microorganisms mainly resided on the external surface of microbial globs rather than the internal spaces.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is caused by microbial imbalance of the vaginal ecosystem and overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria. The antibiotic treatment often results in very high recurrence of BV because it disturbs the vaginal ecosystem. The high recurrence rates suggest a need for alternative therapeutic methods and probiotics are being recognized as alternative or additional treatment method for BV. The purpose of this study was to investigate how human vaginal isolates of Lactobacillus spp. inhibit the BV-associated pathogen Gardnerella vaginalis. Results show that selected strains significantly reduced the viability of G. vaginalis. Among these selected strains KLB410 and KLB416 were further selected based on acid/bile tolerance and identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing being Lactobacillus plantarum. Further studies are underway to demonstrate that the selected strain can be applied as potential probiotics for recovering vaginal ecosystem.

Effects of temperature on the efficiency of the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket(UASB) process for treatment of wastewater from a starch and related products manufacturing industry were investigated using laboratory scale reactors equipped with two types of Gas-Solid Separator(GSS). Both fresh digested sludge and granular sludge stored nearly for one year at room temperature were good as a seeding material. The reactors seeded with aged granular sludge showed slow start-up, however, lowered activity at the initial period was recovered gradually. The GSS with an inner cylinder was proved to be effective in liquid-solid separation compared to the conventional type. Although the rate of organic removal and gas production per unit volatile suspended solids in the reactor reduced significantly as the temperature varied from 35 to $20^{\circ}C$, possibility of operation at low temperatures was shown as a result of gradual buildup of volatile suspended solids in the bed. Stable operation with a reduced efficiency was possible at a COD loading of $5-8kg/m^3/day$ at a temperature as low as $20^{\circ}C$.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the biogas productivity of agricultural by-products (ABPs) based on their proximate composition. Specifically, the effects of proximate composition were investigated, and a new mixing method was developed using various ABPs that are difficult to digest for biogas production. Methods: Experiments were conducted to compare the biogas productivity between a single ABP and a mixture of ABPs that had the same proximate composition as the single ABP. To match the proximate compositions of radish waste and corn distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS), mixed ABPs were made from various ABPs. Biogas potential tests (BMP tests) were performed at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 2.5 g VS/L and a feed to microorganism ratio (F/M) of 0.5 under the mesophilic condition. Results: The individual ABPs (radish and corn DDGS) and the mixed ABPs (cabbage waste with skim milk waste, bean-curd waste with skim milk waste, and some others) produced similar amounts of biogas. Conclusions: The new mixing method based on proximate composition can be applied to other ABPs and organic wastes from factories and municipal waste treatment plants to develop renewable energy and effective waste treatment methods.
