광양 광산 폐석더미에 많은 양으로 방치되어 있는 황철석으로부터 유용금속을 보다 효과적으로 용출시켜내기 위해서 $42^{\circ}C$에서 미생물 용출실험을 실시하였다. $42^{\circ}C$의 미생물 용출 실험에서 생존할 수 있는 토착 호산성박테리아를 일본 하쵸바루 산성 온천수에서 채취하였고, 박테리아의 용출능력을 향상시켜 주기 위하여 황철석-용출 배양액에 yeast extract를 첨가하였다. 원소황과 yeast extract가 포함된 성장-배양액에서 성장한 토착박테리아들은 막대 모양으로 나타났다. 크기가 약 $0.7\times2.6\;{\mu}m$, $0.6\times7\;{\mu}m$, $0.8\times5\;{\mu}m$ 및 $0.7\times8.4\;{\mu}m$인 박테리아들이 황철석 표면에 부착하였다. 막대 모양의 박테리아들은 황철석 표면에 발달한 육각형 공동 주변과 공동 안쪽 벽면에 집중적으로 군집을 형성하여 부착하였다. 길이가 약 $4.92\;{\mu}m$에서 약 $10.0\;{\mu}m$인 filament-shaped 박테리이들이 황철석 표면의 크랙 주변과 크랙 안쪽 벽변에 부착하였다. 황철석에 대한 XRD분석에서, 박테리아에 반응시킨 시료가 비교시료에 비하여 상대적으로 (111), (311), (222) 및 (320) 결정면들의 강도는 감소하였고, (200), (210) 및 (211)의 결정면들의 강도는 증가하였다. Fe 이온은 미생물학적 용출량이 화학적 용출량에 비하여 3.4배 이상 높게 용출되었고, Zn 이온은 화학적 용출량보다 미생물학적 용출량이 2배 이상 높게 용출되었다. 토착호산성박테리아가 황철석의 특정 표면을 선택적으로 공격히는 것을 SEM 및 XRD분석에서 확인하였다. 앞으로 보다 더 높은 온도로 미생물 용출실험을 실시한다면 보다 많은 유용금속이온이 용출될 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of a newly devised toothbrush with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on Porphyromonas gingivalis attached to sandblasted and acid-etched titanium surfaces. Methods: The study included a control group, a commercial photodynamic therapy (PDT) group, and 3 test groups (B, BL, and BLE). The disks in the PDT group were placed in methylene blue and then irradiated with a diode laser. The B disks were only brushed, the BL disks were brushed with an LED toothbrush, and the BLE disks were placed into erythrosine and then brushed with an LED toothbrush. After the different treatments, bacteria were detached from the disks and spread on selective agar. The number of viable bacteria and percentage of bacterial reduction were determined from colony counts. Scanning electron microscopy was performed to visualize bacterial alterations. Results: The number of viable bacteria in the BLE group was significantly lower than that in the other groups (P<0.05). Scanning electron microscopy showed that bacterial cell walls were intact in the control and B groups, but changed after commercial PDT and LED exposure. Conclusions: The findings suggest that an LED toothbrush with erythrosine treatment was more effective than a commercial PDT kit in reducing the number of P. gingivalis cells attached to surface-modified titanium in vitro.

Statement of problem: The microbial adhesion on the surface of materials used in prosthodontics and restorative dentistry significantly influences microbial infection. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of how the degree of surface roughness of acrlyic resin affect the adhesion of bacteria. Material and methods: Resins were finished with $50{\mu}m$ and $250{\mu}m$ aluminium oxide particles by using sandblaster, by using stone point, and high polished with $Opa^{(R)}$ and Lace $motor^{(R)}$. The surface of acrylic resin attached by bacteria was directly touched on the surface of BHI agar, which was incubated. Bacteria colonies formed on BHI agar were counted in accordance with the degree of the surface roughness. Results: 1. The viable cell number of Streptococcus mutans increased on the acrylic resins incubated in BHI broth than in PBS. 2. The viable cell number of Streptococcus mutans increased on the acrylic resins incubated without agitation than with agitation, washed three times than six times, and incubated in broth added with 5% sucrose than without sucrose. 3. When Streptococcus mutans incubated in BHI broth, the number of Streptococcus mutans colonies formed on BHI agar was the largest on the acrylic resins finished with $250{\mu}m$ aluminium oxide particle using sandblaster. But when incubated in BHI broth containing sucrose, the number of colonies formed on that was the largest on the acrylic resins high polished using $Opal^{(R)}$ and Lace $motor^{(R)}$. 4. When Streptococcus sanguis was incubated in BHI broth with or without sucrose, the number of Streptococcus mutans colonies formed on BHI agar was the largest on the acrylic resins finished with $250{\mu}m$ aluminium oxide particle using sandblaster. 5. When Actinomyces viscosus was incubated in BHI broth with or without sucrose, the number of Streptococcus mutans colonies formed on BHI agar was the largest on the acrylic resins high polished using $Opal^{(R)}$ and Lace $motor^{(R)}$. Conclusion: These results indicated that when acrylic resins attached by bacteria were touched on the surface of BHI agar, the number of bacterial colonies formed on the agar was dependent on the bacterial species. Also, the result of this study was showed that increase in the surface roughness and the addition of sucrose increased retention of microbial cells.

Bio-filtration processes using honeycomb tubes (process 1) and aeration and manganese-sand filtration (process 2) were evaluated for the biological manganese removal efficiency. The concentration of manganese at effluent was stabilized after 20days operation in process 1. It was estimated the required time for attaching and growing microorganisms to honeycomb tubes. In long term of operation periods, manganese removal efficiency was dropped for the excessively attached biofilm and manganese dioxide to honeycomb tubes. It took several days for normal operation in process 2, after that manganese removal efficiency was increased to 98% and stabilized for 1.5 years. Microorganisms in process 1 and 2 were isolated and cultured to characterize manganese-oxidizing bacteria. Among the four types of colony, light brown colony was turned blue color by leuco crystal violet spot test. Stenotropomonas genus, known as manganese-oxidizing bacteria, was identified by 16S rDNA partial sequencing analysis which was isolated in process 1 and 2. For the biological treatment to remove manganese, these two considerations are important. One is to choose the proper media attaching manganese oxidant, another one is to define the cultural condition of isolated manganese-oxidizing bacteria.

The mammalian glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor consists of three mannoses attached to acylated GlcN-(acyl)PI to form $Man_3$-GlcN-(acyl)PI. The first of the three mannose groups is attached to an intermediate to generate Man-GlcN-(acyl)PI by the first mannosyltransferase (GPI-MT-I). Mammalian and protozoan GPI-MT-I have different substrate specificities. PIG-M encodes the mammalial GPI-MT-I which has 423 amino acids and multiple transmembrane domains. In this work we cloned PIG-M homologues from humans, Plasmodium falciparum (PfPIG-M), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (GPI14), to test whether they could complement GPI-MT-I-deficient mammalian cells, since this biosynthetic step is likely to be a good target for selective screening of inhibitors against many pathogenic organisms. PfPIG-M partially restored cell surface expression of the GPI-anchored protein CD59 in PIG-M deficient mammalian cells, and first mannose transfer activity in vitro; however, this was not the case for GPI14.

방연석으로부터 유용금속이온을 용출시키기 위하여 토착박테리아를 실험실온도에서 최적의 pH 조건이 아닌 상태로 용출실험을 실시하였다. 이와 같은 조건에서도 $0.4{\times}0.2{\mu}m$에서 $0.5{\times}1.7{\mu}m$ 범위의 막대 모양 박테리아들이 방연석 표면에 부착하였다. 미생물 용출실험 19일 후에, Pb, Fe, Zn 이온 함량이 비교시료에서 보다 박테리아 시료에서 각각 약 347, 222, 1.7배 이상으로 높게 용출되었다. 수많은 육각형 주상의 결정들이 방연석의 표변에 형성된 것이 관찰되었으며, 이들 결정들은 토착 박테리아의 미생물학적 산화작용에 의하여 방연석으로부터 생성된 것으로 생각된다. XRD 분석에서, 황산연광에 해당되는 회절선이 방연석 시료에서 관찰되었다. 만약 박테리아가 최적으로 생존할 수 있는 pH 조건과 온도 조건을 조성해 준다면 더 많은 유용금속 이온이 방연석으로부터 용출 될 것으로 기대된다.

Four dead wild racoons found in Chonnam province were examined parasitologically, pathologically and bacteriologically. Using standard flotation technique with feces many number of ancylostoma eggs which were oval in shape and $60-70{\times}35-45 {\mu}m$ in size were detected. Grossly, severe anemia, multiple congestion and consolidation of lung and catarrhal exudate in small intestine were observed. One of racoons had multifocal white to yellow nodules in the liver. Histopathologically, ancylostoma larvas were found in intestinal lumen. Some of them penetrated and attached to intestinal mucosa. Lungs revealed multiple severe fibrinopurulent pneumonia in which bacterial colonies were scattered. Liver had multiple microabscesses containing peripheral bacterial colony. By Gram stain using paraffin sections of liver and lung, bacterial colony was Gram negative. Isolated bacteria from lung and liver was Gram negative rod. This bacteria was identical with Escherichia coli by biochemical tests. From these results, ancylostomiasis caused severe problems in Korean wild racoons. This is the first report about ancylostomiasis in wild racoons in Korea.

A study was made of diurnal changes in the ruminal bacteria associated with feed particles, i.e., non-associated (NAB), loosely associated (LAB), and tightly associated with particles (TAB), and the TAB concentration in different particle sizes from sheep fed orchardgrass (OG) or alfalfa (ALF) hay. Diaminopimelic acid (DAPA) was used to determine the TAB mass. Results showed that the bacterial masses in NAB and LAB were small, but comprised over 90% in TAB. The TAB mass in the ALF group sharply increased within 2 h after feeding and decreased afterward. The TAB mass showed the same trend in the OG group, increasing from 0 h to 2 h, but remained at the same level up to 14 h after feeding. The peak bacterial mass was, however, lower in the OG than the ALF group. The TAB concentration reflected the changes in total particulate tightly associated bacterial masses in both groups of hay fed sheep. Number of bacterial colonies per particle increased as the particulate size decreased in both groups. This difference, however, tended to decline as the postprandial period was prolonged. DAPA, however, tended to overestimate the TAB mass in the reticulo-rumen digesta of the hay fed sheep.
