This study aimed to evaluate the characterization of a metal oxide semiconductor and electrochemical gas sensor array for measuring wastewater odor. The sensitivity of all gas sensors observed in sampling method by stripping was 6.7 to 20.6 times higher than that by no stripping, except sensor D (electrochemical gas sensor). The average reduction ratio of sensor signal as a function of initial dilution rate of wastewater was in the order of food plant > food waste reutilization facility > plating plant. The sensitivity of gas sensors was dependent on both the type of wastewater and the dilution rate. The sensor signals observed by the gas sensor array were correlated with the dilution factor (OU) calculated by the air dilution sensory test with several wastewater ($r^2=0.920{\sim}0.997$), except the sensor signals of sensor D measured in the plating plant wastewater. It seems likely that the gas sensor array plays a role in the evaluation of odor in wastewater and is useful tool for on-site odor monitoring in the wastewater facilities.

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines에 의해 발병되는 콩 불마름병은 한국에서 콩에 가장 많이 발생하는 중요한 세균성 병해 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines를 종자에서 검출하기 위해 PCR기법을 이용하였으며, 한국의 36개 주요 콩 품종의 종자 오염을 조사하였다. 그리고 병원균 검출과 동정을 위한 PCR assay와 dilution plating assay를 비교하였다. PCR assay를 이용하여 인공접종에 의한 이병종자와 자연감염된 이병종자로부터 병원균 검출을 확인하였다. PCR assay를 통한 이런 결과는 dilution plating assay와 비슷한 결과를 보여 주었으며 종자에서 병원균을 검출하는 다른 전통적인 방법보다 더 효과적인 방법으로 증명되었다. 36개 주요 콩 품종의 X. axonopodis pv. glycines에 의한 종자 전염을 확인한 결과 풍산나물콩, 만리콩, 태광콩, 대망콩, 아주까리콩에서 병원균이 검출되었다. 그러므로 PCR assay는 콩 종자에서 신속하고, 민감하게 X. axonopodis pv. glycines 특이적으로 검출할 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

토양중 Pythium속 사상균의 취락조사시 희석평판을 위한 희석배수가 균수에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 희석배수 1:50은 1:100보다 기대했던 것 보다 Pythium속 취락수가 감소했으며 높은 희석배수에서도 뚜렷한 상관관계를 보이지 않음. 2. 토양시료를 이용한 희석배수실험에서도 유사한 결과를 보였으나 1:50의 회석반복실험결과는 상관관계가 관찰되었음. 그러나 토양을 풍건시켰을 경우 취락의 감소경향을 발견하였음. 3. 본 시험에 사용한 두개의 사탕수수포장에서 채취한 토양에서 Pythium번식체가 균일하게 존재하지 않는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 희석배수 1:50일때 상관관계를 보인 것은 토양중 균사파편 혹은 분주과정에서 균사위조현상에 기인된 것으로 생각됨.

Susceptibility of Psudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis to gentimicin and ceforaxime was affected by salicylaye. In presence of salicylaye (15 mM) and gentamicin (1.0 .mu.g/ml), log efficiency of plating (log E. O. P. s) for the tested bacteria were -1.24, -2.17 and -1.66 respectively. The activity of cefotaxime against Bacillus subtilis was reduced (log E. O. P. = 1.33). The highest potentiating effects of salicylaye were shown when using gentamicin against Staphylococcus aureus, cefotaxime against Ps. aeruginosa, log E. O. P.s were -3.0, and -2.4 respectively. On the other hand, no significant effects were detected with cefotaxime against Staphylococcus aureus (log E. O. P. = -0.04). No significant killing was shown in presence of gentamicin or salicylaye alone. There was no significant effect for salicylaye on MICs (By broth dilution) could be observed except in case of gentamicin against Staphyloccus aureus, which was reduced from 0.02 .mu.g/ml to 0.0012 .mu.g/ml. These results raise the concern that high concentrations of salicylaye in patients might interfere with antibiotic therapies.

The composition of the bacterial populations in Gorosoe(Acer mono Max.) sap was characterized during storage with different heat treatments($63^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and $73^{\circ}C$ for 15 sec). The saps were aseptically collected at 0, 15 and 30 days of storage and analyzed by dilution plating and 16S rDNA PCR-DGGE analysis. There were significant differences in the total number of colony forming units(CFUs) of bacteria between heated and nonheated saps. Bacteria of nonheated sap were present at a level of $3.4{\times}10^7CFU/m{\ell}^{-1}$, whereas living bacteria were not detected in the heated sap. According to the 16S rDNA sequence and DGGE analysis, Pseudomonas sp. was the most abundant bacterial strain in the samlpes, and the bacterial community structures become more simplified with time and were composed of the Chryseobacterium sp. with time. These results allowed us to characterize the dominant bacteria involved in Gorosoe sap and to better understand their dynamics throughout storage.

The maintenance of physiological activity during dilution is very critical for the accurate enumeration of Vibrio spp. in marine samples. We investigated the effect of various diluents on the recovery of Vibrio parahaemolyticus using the direct plate counting and most probable number (MPN) methods. The effects of NaCl (0.85 and 3%) and pH (from 6.6 to 7.4) in diluents based on distilled water or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were evaluated with three V. parahaemolyticus strains. PBS-3% NaCl (pH 6.6), as opposed to PBS, was the most effective diluent at maintaining viable cell numbers up to 2 log CFU/g during dilution for direct plate counting using on thiosulfate citrate bile salts sucrose (TCBS) selective agar, as well as minimizing the difference in cell numbers between TCBS and non-selective nutrient agar. It also increased counts of V parahaemolyticus inoculated into oysters relative to PBS (p<0.01), suggesting that PBS-3% NaCl (PH 6.6) can reduce the problem of underestimating V. parhaemolyticus counts using PBS alone.

2014년을 기준으로 도금폐수에 함유한 중금속중 니켈은 5 mg/L에서 3 mg/L로 방류수 기준이 강화되었다. 그러나 현재 적용되고 있는 도금폐수 중의 니켈 처리방법으로는 방류수 기준치 이하로 처리하기 어려워 대부분의 처리 업체에서 다른 폐수와 혼합하여 단순한 희석에 의해 농도를 낮추고 있는 실정이다. 이는 환경에 지대한 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 희생전극을 사용한 전기분해 방법을 적용하여 실질적이며 효율적인 니켈의 처리방법을 제시하였다. 실험은 인공폐수 및 실폐수로 수행하였으며 인공폐수 실험에서는 전기분해과정에서 니켈 제거 효율에 영향을 줄 수 있는 전류밀도와 pH를 변화시키며 최적의 효율을 나타내는 조건을 도출하였다. 실험결과 니켈 제거 효율은 94%를 상회하며 잔류니켈농도는 방류수 기준치 이하로 낮추고 철 슬러지 처리로 인한 경제성까지 고려한 조건으로 전류밀도 $1{\sim}2mA/cm^2$와 pH 9가 도출되었다. 이 처리 조건을 실폐수에 적용시켰을 때 니켈 제거 효율은 60~70%로 인공폐수 실험결과보다 제거효율이 낮게 조사되었다. 이는 실폐수에는 다른 중금속 및 음이온이 다량 함유되어 있어 처리 효율에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 실폐수의 경우 pH 9에서 전류밀도 $6{\sim}7mA/cm^2$ 조건으로 5분 동안 전기분해 처리를 하였을 때 니켈 제거효율 88% 이상, 처리수의 잔류 니켈 농도 3.0 mg/L 이하로 방류수 기준을 만족시킬 수 있었다.

Pure culture experiments were conducted to assess the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of phlorotannins (PT) isolated from Ascophyllum nodosum (brown seaweed) on Escherichia coli O157:H7. In Exp. 1, one non-O157:H7 strain (25922) and three strains of E. coli O157:H7 (3081, EDL933 and E318N) were cultured in M9 medium with PT included at 0 (control), 25, 50 or $100{\mu}g/ml$ (n = 3). Bacterial growth was monitored by $OD_{600}$ at 0, 4, 6, 12 and 24 h, and by dilution plating at 0, 4, 6 and 24 h. All strains were inhibited (p<0.001) by PT to varying degrees. At 50 or $100{\mu}g/ml$, PT prevented growth of all four strains. At $25{\mu}g\;PT/ml$, growth of 25922, 3081, E318N and EDL933 was inhibited for 6, 12 and 24 h, respectively, but 25922 and 3081 resumed growth by 12 and 24 h. Direct plating confirmed bactericidal effects of PT on all four strains at $100{\mu}g/ml$, and on EDL933 and E318N at $50{\mu}g/ml$. In Exp. 2, strains 25922 and 3081 were incubated with no tannins or with $50{\mu}g/ml$ of PT, purified condensed tannins (CT) from Quebracho (Schinopsis balansaei), or purified tannic acid from Rhus semialata (Anacardiaceae) as hydrolysable tannins (HT). Strain 3081 was unaffected by HT or CT, but was completely inhibited (p<0.001) by PT at 4, 6 and 24 h. Strain 25922 was unaffected by HT, slightly inhibited by CT, and almost eradicated by PT at 4 and 6 h. Transmission electron microscopy revealed tannin-mediated alterations to bacterial cell walls. Phlorotannins from A. nodosum exhibit growth-inhibiting and bactericidal effects in vitro against the strains of E. coli O157:H7 investigated. Anti-E. coli efficacy of A. nodosum PT is superior to that of terrestrial tannins purified from Quebracho and from Rhus semialata.

The isolation, morphological study and growth characteristics of the algae were investigated from Lake Chuam. The isolated algae were applied the Agal Growth Potential test. The method of isolation and purification of the algae were used to Agar plating(AP), nutrient enrichment(NE), dilution(DI) and micro capillary technique(MC). Total isolated algae were 21 species. They were composed of Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Chlorophyceae. The numbers of algal strain by isolation technique were highest in dilution(21 species), and those of the rests were showed in order of NE > MC > AP. The sizes of isolated Selenastrum and Scenedesmus were $1.8\pm 1.4 \mu m$, $3.3\pm 0.9 \mu m$ in diameter and $6.4\pm 2.3 \mu m$, $13.6\pm 1.9 \mu m$ in length respectively. The morphology of isolated algae and NIES-collection strain was very similar each other, but the size was smaller isolated algae than that of NIES-collection. The optimum culture condition of isolated Selenastrum and Scenedesmus was about 30$\circ$C(25$\circ$C-35$\circ$C) in temperature and the maximum growth was appeared between 7,000 lux and 8,000 lux in the light intensity. The comparison of $\mu$(specific growth rate) on the concentration of nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate, isolated Selenastrum was appeared maximum it at 1.0 mg $NO_3-N/l$ but NIES-collection strain was showed 95% of maximum it at same nitrate concentration. Maximum g of isolated algae and NIES-collection strain in Scenedesmus onto nitrate concentration were very similar with the result of selenastrum. The specific growth rates of isolated algae and NIES-collection strain on the gradient concentration of phosphate were showed 0.72/day and 0.70/day at 0.02 mg $PO_4-P/l$ in Selenastrum but those of Scenedesmus were appeared 0.61/day and 0.57/day at same concentration $PO_4-P$.
