본 연구에서는 세포 고정화를 위해 기존의 고정화 방법의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 새롭게 개발된 GFM 시스템에 Paracoccus denitrificans를 고정화하여 물속의 nitrate를 분해하는데 적용하였다. 고정화 조건으로써 스폰지 구멍의 크기 20 P.P.I. (pore per inch)와 겔로서 alginate가 이미 최적의 조건으로서 선택되었다. 고정화 세포의 연속 nitrate 분해능력을 air-lift reactor내에서 측정한 결과, 물속의 nitrate함량이 증가함에 따라 분해능력이 증가함을 나타내었다. 또한 연속운전에서 본 시스템은 기존의 고정화시스템인 bead 겔포괄법과 비교할 때 $1.2{\sim}2.1$배 정도 분해능력이 향상되었다. 최고 nitrate 분해속도는 buffer를 함유한 medium에 있어서 177 mg/L h이었으나 buffer를 첨가하지 않은 경우에 있어서는 33 mg/L h이었다. 또한 저장안정성을 측정한 결과, $5^{\circ}C$에 저장하였을 때 분해능력은 16주간 거의 변화가 없었으며 고정화하지 않은 자유세포나 bead에 고정화된 세포에 비하여 저장안정성이 두드러지게 뛰어났음을 알 수 있었다.

In hypertriglyceridaemic individuals, atherosclerogenesis is associated with the increased concentrations of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and VLDL-associated remnant particles. In vitro studies have suggested that VLDL induces foam cells formation. To reveal the changes of the proteins expression in the process of foam cells formation induced by VLDL, we performed a proteomic analysis of the foam cells based on the stimulation of differentiated THP-1 cells with VLDL. Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis, 14 differentially expressed proteins, containing 8 up-regulated proteins and 6 down-regulated proteins were identified. The proteins are involved in energy metabolism, oxidative stress, cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis, such as adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), enolase, S100A11, heat shock protein 27 and so on. In addition, the expression of some selected proteins was confirmed by Western blot and RT-PCR analysis. The results suggest that VLDL not only induces lipid accumulation, but also brings about foam cells diverse characteristics by altering the expression of various proteins.

Ferns have been consumed as food in many countries for centuries. As rich sources of protein, fiber, minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, and fatty acids, ferns provide important nutrients to humans. Eastern bracken (Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum (Desv.) Underw. ex A. Heller) is the most popular edible fern in South Korea where, additionally, it has long been used as an edible wild leaf vegetable. Recently, the production of eastern brackens in South Korea (2018) has reached 14,032 tons, for an annual revenue of 83.5 billion won, and even more eastern brackens are marketed if imports are taken into account as well. Most of the common ferns can be propagated using spores. However, fern farmers cultivate seedlings through traditional propagation methods, such as root pruning or rhizome division. These propagation methods exhibit limitations in forming roots and growing-points and are labor intensive. Quality seedlings of eastern bracken can be obtained through spore propagation, but the spores are fine and difficult to handle in the field. In addition, it would require appropriate environmental control. The production of synthetic seeds using encapsulation technology is easy to establish and it can be used to achieve high productivity at low cost. Synthetic seeds contain explants embedded into a seed foam, and they overcome the limitations of micropropagation and offer the possibility of using plug seedlings. Synthetic seed matrix, such as sodium alginate, has the advantages of low cost, low toxicity, and gel stability. The present study aimed to develop and produce synthetic seeds for the commercial exploitation of eastern bracken. Furthermore, we verified spore germination and the extent of gametophyte and sporophyte development achieved with our new synthetic seeds, whose production was intended to solve current problems with the handling, storage, and transportation of eastern bracken.
