The acute toxicity effect of triorganotin of trioganotin on the growth of microalgae and shellfish was investigated through flask culture. The value of 120 hr-LC$_{50}$ that is the median lethal concentration of TBTO on the shellfish (R. philipinarum) was found to be 6 $\mu$g/L. The acute toxicity effect of TBTO on T. suecica was obviously shown even at the concentration of 0.5 $\mu$g/L, and the effect diminished as the initial cell density increased. The effect also diminished less in the experiment done under aeration than in that done under non-aeration. To design a chemostat system for the test of chronic toxicity, the culture of T. suecica was executed in photobioreactor. In batch culture, the profiles of chlorophyII a and D.C.W. showed the growth of T. suecica very well, and the maximum specific growth rate was estimated to be 0.54 d$^{-1}$. with this value, as a dilution rate in contimuous culture, pH was nicely maintained between 7 and 9 when air was supplied with 3% CO$_{2}$. From all results and the natural environment of clam, a novel chemostat system was invented. Through this system, we can observe each independent toxicity effect of TBTO and plankton and combined toxicity effect as well.

In this paper, we formulate two chemostat type models of phytoplankton and zooplankton population dynamics with instant nutrient recycling to study the role of viral infection on phytoplankton. The infection is transmitted only among phytoplankton population and it makes them more vulnerable to predation by zooplankton. It is observe that the chemostat system is very stable in the absence of viral infection but the presence of viral infection make the chemostat system sensitive with respect to the grazing rate of infected-phytoplankton by zooplankton. Further, if the grazing rate is less than certain threshold the system remain stable and exhibits Hopf-bifurcation after crossing it.

Henri-Michaelis-Menten model for predicting the behavior of culture of Brevibacterium flavum under carbon limiting condition has been evaluated on a chemostat growing in the presence of the phenol derivatives: guaiacol, o-vanillin and vanillin. It is found that Henri-Michaelis-Menten model could be applicable to the evaluation of the growth rate of cells in the phenol derivatives. The marked enhancing abilities of the cells treated by the phenol derivatives during fermentation were ascribed to the formation of charge-transfer complex between the phenol-derivatives and oxygen which supplies oxygen effectively to the fermentation system.

In this paper, a mathematical dynamical system involving both deterministic (with or without delay) and stochastic "SIR" epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate in a continuous reactor is considered. A profound qualitative analysis is given. It is proved that, for both deterministic models, if ��d > 1, then the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. However, if ��d ≤ 1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. Concerning the stochastic model, the Feller's test combined with the canonical probability method were used in order to conclude on the long-time dynamics of the stochastic model. The results improve and extend the results obtained for the deterministic model in its both forms. It is proved that if ��s > 1, the disease is stochastically permanent with full probability. However, if ��s ≤ 1, then the disease dies out with full probability. Finally, some numerical tests are done in order to validate the obtained results.

본 연구에서는 축산폐수를 이용하여 건조질량의 $15{\sim}75$ %의 탄화수소를 생산한다고 알려진 B. braunii 배양에 적용하였다. 질소원이 부족한 상황에서 세포의 성장이 나 탄화수소의 생산은 저해를 받았으며, 초기 인의 농도는 질소원이 결핍된 상황을 제외하고는 세포 성장이나 탄화수소의 생산에 큰 영향을 미치지 못했다. 축산폐수를 이용한 설험에서는 33 %의 축산폐수가 nitrate를 제거시키는데 가장 적절하였다.

The initial growth of Clostridium acetobutylicum was not inhibited by 1 atm of H$_2$ while H$_2$ reduced glucose consumption in a solventogenic culture of a phosphate limited 2-stage chemostat. Under 1 atm of H$_2$, a solventogenic culture consumed hydrogen, but an acidogenic culture produced hydrogen. H$_2$ consumption by the solventogenic culture was enhanced by the addition of 5 mM neutral red, an artificial electron carrier with a redox potential of -325 mV. Hydrogenase activity, measured in both directions of production and consumption, showed that activity coupled with methyl viologen is higher in an acidogenic culture than in a solventogenic culture, and that the two cultures have similar activities for methylene blue reduction. The solventogenic culture showed a higher activity coupled with neutral red than the acidogenic culture. From these results, it is hypothesized that hydrogen producing hydrogenase activity is high during the acidogenic phase, and decreases as solventogenesis starts, and that the solventogenic culture produces a second hydrogenase which uses an electron carrier other than ferredoxin. This hypothesis was supported by the fact that enzyme activities involved in electron flow can be coupled to neutral red, indepedent of ferredoxin, and that neutral red addition to the fermentation system increased butanol yield, with a decrease in production of less reduced fermentation products, and $H^2$.

본 논문은 동물 세포의 대량 배양을 위해 연속 공법 방식인 Perfusion Continuous System을 도입해 의약적으로 중요한 EPO의 생산을 위한 생물 공학적인 자료들을 제고하고 있다. 이 System은 세포 증식 속도를 배지의 Perfusion 속도로 변화시킴으로써 조절시킬 수 있는 산소 소비속도와 밀접한 상관관계가 있음을 입증하며 이는 세포수의 직접 측정에 따른 오차 및 방법상의 문제를 정학히 측정할 수 있는 간접 변수, 즉 산소소비속도를 이용함으로써 제거할 수 있다. 특히 이 산소소비속도와 세포 성장 관계로 model로써 세포 증식을 예측함과 동시에 동물 세포 대량 배양을 위한 scale-up의 중요한 기초자료가 될 것이다. 지금까지 발표되지 않았던 동물 세포의 glucose에 대한 True growth yield와 maintenance coefficient값들의 측정은 동물 세포 성자관 유용 물질 생산을 위한 중요한 수율적 자료가 된다.한편 이 결과는 지금까지 미생물이나 광합성에서만 적용되었던 yield model이 Eukaryotes에서도 응용될 수 있음을 증명하고 있다. 이와 같이 perfusion system이 많은 장점을 갖고 있지만, 세포 성장에 따른 동력학적인 연구의 수행이 좀 더 요구되는 실정이며, 특히 Perfusion system을 설명할 수 있는 이론 및 cytostatic moel의 정립이 선행되어야 할 것이다.

A dynamic model of lactic acid fermentation using Lactococcus lactis was constructed, and a metabolic flux analysis (MFA) and metabolic control analysis (MCA) were performed to reveal an intensive metabolic understanding of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The parameter estimation was conducted with COPASI software to construct a more accurate metabolic model. The experimental data used in the parameter estimation were obtained from an LC-MS/MS analysis and time-course simulation study. The MFA results were a reasonable explanation of the experimental data. Through the parameter estimation, the metabolic system of lactic acid bacteria can be thoroughly understood through comparisons with the original parameters. The coefficients derived from the MCA indicated that the reaction rate of L-lactate dehydrogenase was activated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and pyruvate, and pyruvate appeared to be a stronger activator of L-lactate dehydrogenase than fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Additionally, pyruvate acted as an inhibitor to pyruvate kinase and the phosphotransferase system. Glucose 6-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate showed activation effects on pyruvate kinase. Hexose transporter was the strongest effector on the flux through L-lactate dehydrogenase. The concentration control coefficient (CCC) showed similar results to the flux control coefficient (FCC).

Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) technology was evaluated as a monitoring tool for quantification of Nocardia amarae causing a nuisance foaming problem in activated sludge process. The identified signature peak was 19:1 alcohol as a reliable unique peak to N. amarae. Chemostat study revealed that the distribution and quantity of fatty acid peaks were dependent on the growth stage of Nocardia. The FAME results were similar for two relatively high dilution rates; however, the amounts of signature peaks extracted from the 4 and 6 day cultures were significantly higher. This dependence of signature peaks on the physiological state of the organism may be a useful information to assess the health of microbial populations in activated sludge. A laboratory scale batch foaming potential experiment provided a critical foaming level depending on Nocardia population. This critical Nocardia level determined in this study was in terms of either the threshold filament intersections number or the threshold signature FAME amount. The threshold peak area of signature FAME (19:1 alcohol) and corresponding filament counts were 430PA/mg VSS and $1.45{\times}10^6$ intersections/g VSS, respectively. The threshold signature FAME level could be effectively applied as a criterion for diagnosing foam occurrence in activated sludge system.

Actinobacillus succinogenes, a representative succinicacid-producing microorganism, is seriously inhibited by ammonium ions, thereby hampering the industrial use of A. succinogenes with ammonium-ion-based materials as the pH controller. Therefore, this study isolated an ammonium-ion-tolerant mutant of A. succinogenes using a continuous-culture technique in which all the environmental factors, besides the stress (ammonium ions), were kept constant. Instead of operating the mutant-generating system as a nutrient-limited chemostat, it was used as a nutrient-unlimited system, allowing the cells to be continuously cultured at the maximum specific growth rate. The mutants were isolated on agar plates containing the acid-base indicator bromothymol blue and a high level of ammonium ions that would normally kill the parent strain by 100%. When cultured in anaerobic bottles with an ammonium ion concentration of 354 mmol/l, the mutant YZ0819 produced 40.21 g/l of succinic acid with a yield of 80.4%, whereas the parent strain NJ113 was unable to grow. When using $NH_4OH$ to buffer the culture pH in a 3.0 l stirredbioreactor, YZ0819 produced 35.15 g/l of succinic acid with a yield of 70.3%, which was 155% higher than that produced by NJ113. In addition, the morphology of YZ0819 changed in the fermentation broth, as the cells were aggregated from the beginning to the end of the fermentation. Therefore, these results indicate that YZ0819 can efficiently produce succinic acid when using $NH_4OH$ as the pH controller, and the formation of aggregates can be useful for transferring the cells from a cultivation medium for various industrial applications.
