Bacillus subtilis 돌연변이주 중 ${\gamma}-GTP$활성이 높은 SM-2와 SM-10을 융합시켜 획득한 융합주 중 ${\gamma}-GTP$활성이 높은 융합주 FG-21의 배양적 특성을 조사하였다. 융합주 FG-21에 의한 ${\gamma}-GTP$의 생산은 1% glycerol, 1% peptone, 0.1% citric acid, 5 mM $K_2HPO_4$, 1 mM $FeCl_3$, 1 mM $MgCl_2$, 1 mM $NH_4Cl$, pH 7.0의 배지에 의해 $37^{\circ}C$에서 36시간 배양했을 때 621 U/mL으로 최대한 활성을 보였다. 융합주 FG-21이 생산한 biopolymer A가 단백질함량이 38.4%이고 B. subtilis K-1이 생산하는 biopolymer B의 단백질함량은 19.3%로 융합주 FG-21이 생산하는 Biopolymer A보다 함량이 낮았다. 융합주 FG-21의 biopolymer가 모균주의 biopolymer B보다 단백질함량이 높은 것은 상대적으로 높은 ${\gamma}-GTP$활성이 높아서 생성된 PGA가 levan보다 함량이 많기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 총당함량은 biopolymer A가 58.5%, biopolymer B가 76.5%로 나타났다. 융합주 FG-21과 모균주가 생산하는 biopolymer의 단백질함량과 총당함량비는 융합주 FG-21이 생성한 biopolymer는 38 : 59. 모균주가 생산한 biopolymer B는 19 : 78의 비율이었고 HPLC 분석에 의한 biopolymer A와 B의 fructose함량은 각각 537.7 mg/g biopolymer, 764.4 mg/g biopolymer으로 나타났다. Biopolymer A와 B의 glutamic acid함량은 각각 163.7 mg/g, 94.3 mg/g이었다. Biopolymer A와 B의 fructose와 glutamic acid의 함량비는 각각 78 : 22, 89 : 11의 비로 함유되어 있었다. 따라서 융합주에 의해 생산된 biopolymer는 모균주보다 구성상태가 변화된 biopolymer를 생산한 것으로 판단되어 fusion과 같은 균주개량을 통하여 물질의 구성적, 물질적 변화된 biopolymer를 생산할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

Biopolymer treatment of geomaterials to develop sustainable geotechnical systems is an important step towards the reduction of global warming. The cutting edge technology of biopolymer treatment is not only environment friendly but also has widespread application. This paper presents the strength and slake durability characteristics of biopolymer-treated sand sampled from Al-Sharqia Desert in Oman. The specimens were prepared by mixing sand at various proportions by weight of xanthan gum biopolymer. To make a comparison with conventional methods of ground improvement, cement treated sand specimens were also prepared. To demonstrate the effects of wetting and drying, standard slake durability tests were also conducted on the specimens. According to the results of strength tests, xanthan gum treatment increased the unconfined strength of sand, similar to the strengthening effect of mixing cement in sand. The slake durability test results indicated that the resistance of biopolymer-treated sand to disintegration upon interaction with water is stronger than that of cement treated sand. The percentage of xanthan gum to treat sand is proposed as 2-3% for optimal performance in terms of strength and durability. SEM analysis of biopolymer-treated sand specimens also confirms that the sand particles are linked through the biopolymer, which has increased shear resistance and durability. Results of this study imply xanthan gum biopolymer treatment as an eco-friendly technique to improve the mechanical properties of desert sand. However, the strengthening effect due to the biopolymer treatment of sand can be weakened upon interaction with water.

볏짚으로부터 분리한 Bacillus sp. K-1과 그 변이주 KM-21과 KM-83이 생산하는 biopolymer들의 물성학적 성질을 비교 조사하였다. 은도에 따른 biopolymer의 겉보기 점도는 온도가 높아짐에 따라 감소하였으며, $20^{\circ}C$일 때에 비해 $80^{\circ}C$일 때 KM-21 균주가 생산하는 biopolymer는 1.7배, K-1균주의 biopolymer는 2.7배, KM-83 균주의 biopolymer는 1.9배 정도로 낮은 점성을 보였다. Biopolymer 용액의 점성은 농도가 증가함에 따라 크게 증가하여 6%의 농도에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 2%, 4%, 6% 모두 pseudoplastic특성을 나타내어 농도에 대한 의존성이 매우 높았다. 6%의 농도일 때 2%의 농도와 비교해서 전단 속도가 $93\;sec^{-1}$ 일 때 KM-21은 26배, K-1은 56배, KM-83은 28배로 모균주의 biopolymer인 K-1이 가장 높은 점성을 보었다. pH에 따른 점도 변화는 pH7.0에서 최고를 보였으며, 알칼리성 조건일 때에 비해 산성조건에서 상대적으로 낮은 값의 점성을 보였다.

Gel-type biopolymers have recently been introduced as environmentally friendly soil binders and have shown substantial strengthening effects in laboratory experimental programs. Although the strengthening effects of biopolymer-treated sands have been verified in previous direct shear tests and uniaxial compression tests, there has been no attempt to examine shear behavior under different confining stress conditions. This study therefore aimed to investigate the strengthening effects of biopolymer-treated sand using laboratory triaxial testing with a focus on confining pressures. Three representative confining pressure conditions (${\sigma}_3=50kPa$, 100 kPa, and 200 kPa) were tested with varying biopolymer contents ($m_{bp}/m_s$) of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%, respectively. Based on previous studies, it was assumed that biopolymer-treated sand is susceptible to hydraulic conditions, and therefore, the experiments were conducted in both a hydrated xanthan gum condition and a dehydrated xanthan gum condition. The results indicated that the shear resistance was substantially enhanced and there was a demonstrable increase in cohesion as well as the friction angle when the biopolymer film matrix was comprehensively developed. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the feasibility of the biopolymer treatment will remain valid under the confining pressure conditions used in this study because the resisting force of the biopolymer-treated soil was higher than that in the untreated condition, regardless of the confining pressure.

Enterobacter sp. BL-2 excretively produced a unique cationic polyglucosamine biopolymer PGB-1 comprised of more than 95% D-glucosamine in an acetate-mediated culture condition. The excretion of the biopolymer PGB-1 was closely associated with the cellular morphology of Enterobacter sp. BL-2, a feature highly dependable on the pH of the medium. The initially formed uneven and irregular surface cells were aggregated into the cell-biopolymer network structure connected by the adhesion modules of the cell-bound biopolymer. The excretive production of the biopolymer PGB-1 coincided with the disruption of the cell-biopolymer network, most actively at the medium pH of 8.0.

Biopolymer-based materials recently have garnered considerable interest as they can decrease dependency on fossil fuel. Biopolymers are naturally obtainable macromolecules including polysaccharides, polyphenols, polyesters, polyamides, and proteins, that play an important role in biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug-delivery systems, and biosensors, because of their inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, the insolubility of unmodified biopolymers in most organic solvents has limited the applications of biopolymer-based materials and composites. Ionic liquids (ILs) are good solvents for polar organic, nonpolar organic, inorganic and polymeric compounds. Biopolymers such as cellulose, chitin/chitiosan, silk, and DNA can be fabricated from ILs into films, membranes, fibers, spheres, and molded shapes. Various biopolymer/biopolymer and biopolymer/synthetic polymer composites also can be prepared by co-dissolution of polymers into IL mixtures. Heparin/biopolymer composites are especially of interest in preparing materials with enhanced blood compatibility.

The biopolymer produced by Lysinibacillus macroides can be useful as an emulsifying agent, flocculating agent, anti-oxidative agent, and anti-corrosive agent. The present work focused on the functional activities of this biopolymer such as bioflocculant and anti-corrosion. The results of the study for the biopolymer as a bioflocculating agent reveal that the biopolymer gave 72.3% flocculating activity against activated carbon at a concentration of 5 mg/l. In the optimization study, the highest bioflocculant activity was obtained in the presence of CaCl₂ mineral at 15% biopolymer concentration, 7.0 pH, and 40℃ temperature. The biopolymer was also studied for its anti-corrosive nature and observed that it was able to prevent corrosion of steel paper clips in a 6% CaCl₂ solution at a concentration of 0.5% after 7 days.

비지로부터 분리한 Bacillus subtills PUL-A 균주를 이용한 비지발효물로부터의 biopolymer flocculant 생산은 glutamate 함량이 5% 첨가한 후 $42^{\circ}C$에서 24시간동안 발효하는 경우에 PGA 생산량은 52.2g/kg으로 최대를 나타내었다. 부분 정제된 biopolymer flocculant의 PGA의 함량은 87%이었으며, 분자량은 $1.3{\times}10^6$ dalton 이상을 나타내었다. PGA의 pH 변화에 따른 점조도는 pH 6을 기준으로 산성 쪽으로 갈수록 급격하게 감소하였으나, 분자량의 변화는 거의 나타나지 않았다. Bioflocculant의 유동특성은 농도가 증가할수록 전단속도가 증가되어 전형적인 의가소성 흐름특성을 나타내었으며, 항복력도 증가하였다. Bioflocculant 용액의 점조도 값은 pH가 높을수록 열에 상당히 안정하였으나 열처리온도 및 시간이 증가할수록 pH에 따라 급격하게 감소하였다. Kaolin clay suspension을 이용한 응집활성에서 bioflocculant의 농도가 15 mg/L 일 때 최대 응집활성을 나타내었으며, 응집활성은 $Ca^{2+}$을 첨가할 때 가장 높게 증가하였으며 최적 농도는 4.5mM로 나타났다. 그러나 3가 양이 온인 $Fe^{3+}$을 첨가할 경우는 응집활성이 급격하게 감소하였다. 응집활성은 pH 5에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$에서 열처리함에 따라 응집활성은 급격하게 감소하였다. 또한 저분자량의 PGA보다는 native 고분자량의 PGA가 응집활성에 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
