Photocatalytic oxidation in the presence of Fe-doped, Zn-doped or Fe-Zn co-doped $TiO_2$ was used to effectively decompose humic acids (HAs) in water. The highest HAs removal efficiency (65.7%) was achieved in the presence of $500^{\circ}C$ calcined 0.0010% Fe-Zn co-doped $TiO_2$ with the Fe:Zn ratio of 3:2. The initial solution pH value, inorganic cations and anions also affected the catalyst photocatalytic ability. The HAs removal for the initial pH of 2 was the highest, and for the pH of 6 was the lowest. The photocatalytic oxidation of HAs was enhanced with the increase of the $Ca^{2+}$ or $Mg^{2+}$ concentration, and reduced when concentrations of some anions increased. The inhibition order of the anions on $TiO_2$ photocatalytic activities was $CO{_3}^{2-}$ > $HCO_3{^-}$ > $Cl^-$, but a slightly promotion was achieved when $SO{_4}^{2-}$ was added. Total organic carbon (TOC) removal was used to evaluate the actual HAs mineralization degree caused by the $500^{\circ}C$ calcined 0.0010% Fe-Zn (3:2) co-doped $TiO_2$. For tap water added with HAs, the $UV_{254}$ and TOC removal rates were 57.2% and 49.9%, respectively. The $UV_{254}$ removal efficiency was higher than that of TOC because of the generation of intermediates that could significantly reduce the $UV_{254}$, but not the TOC.

천일염의 농업적 활용은 관행농업에서 뿐만 아니라 친환경농산물 생산을 위해 농업인들 사이에서 증가하는 추세이다. 그러나 다량의 천일염을 지속적으로 살포할 경우 토양에 염류가 집적될 소지가 크고, 이로 인해 작물의 생육장해가 초래될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 천일염을 토양에 살포하였을 때의 토양 이화학성과 마늘의 무기성분 함량과 수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 수행하였다. 천일염을 살포하는 양이 증가할수록 토양의 전기전도도, 치환성 나트륨, 염소이온, 황산이온은 표토에서 높아졌다. 그러나, 수확기에는 천일염의 성분이 강우에 의해 심토로 용탈되어 작물이 생육하는 근권에서는 전기전도도, 치환성 나트륨, 염소이온, 황산이온은 감소하였고, 염소이온은 다른 성분보다 더욱 빠르게 심토로 용탈되었다. 토양의 나트륨 흡착비, 치환성 나트륨 백분율, 토양 분산율은 천일염이 투입량이 증가할수록 높아지는 경향이었다. 천일염을 토양에 살포하였을 때 마늘의 무기성분 중에 질소, 칼슘, 마그네슘, 미량원소인 철, 망간, 아연 등의 함량은 줄어들었고, 바닷물에 많은 성분인 염소 성분의 흡수는 증가하였으나, 마늘의 수량에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였다.

The hprK gene encoding bifunctional HPrK/P (kinase/phosphorylase) was cloned from L. mesenteroides SY1, a strain isolated from kimchi. hprK was transcribed as a monocistronic gene. His-tagged HPrH16A and HPrK/P were produced in E. coli BL21 (DE3) using pET26b(+) and purified. HPrK/P phosphorylation assay with purified proteins showed that the kinase activity of HPrK/P increased at slightly acidic pHs. Divalent cations such as $Mg^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$ and glycolytic intermediates such as fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate (FBP) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) increased the kinase activity of HPrK/P, but inorganic phosphate strongly inhibited it. Kinetic studies for the kinase activity of HPrK/P showed that the apparent $K_m$ values were 0.18 and $14.57{\mu}M$ for ATP and HPr, respectively. The $K_m$ value for the phosphorylase activity of HPrK/P was $14.16{\mu}M$ for P-Ser-HPr (HPr phosphorylated at the serine residue).

Among the major nutrients, phosphorus is by far the least mobile and available to plants in most soil conditions. A large portion of soluble inorganic phosphate applied to soil in the form of phosphate fertilizers is immobilized rapidly and becomes unavailable to plants. To improve the plant growth and yield and to minimize P loss from soils, the ability of a few soil microorganisms converting insoluble forms into soluble forms for phosphorus is an important trait in several plant growth-promoting microorganisms belonging to the genera Bacillus and Pseudomonas and the fungi belonging to the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus in managing soil phosphorus. The principal mechanism of solubilization of mineral phosphate by phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is the release of low molecular weight organic acids such as formic, acetic, propionic, lactic, glycolic, fumaric, and succinic acids and acidic phosphatases like phytase synthesized by soil microorganisms in soil. Hydroxyl and carboxyl groups from the organic acids can chelate the cations bound to phosphate, thereby converting it into soluble forms.

Coatings composited with alumina and Perfluoro alkoxyalkane (PFA) resin were deposited on stainless steel plate (SUS304) to further improve corrosion resistance. Plate (ca. $10{\mu}m$) and/or nanosize (27~43 nm) alumina used as inorganic additives were mixed in PFA resin to make alumina-fluoro composite coatings. These coatings were deposited on SUS304 plate with wet spray coating and then the film was cured thermally. According to the amount and ratio of the two kinds of alumina having plate morphology and nano size, corrosion resistance of the film was evaluated under strong acids (HF, HCl) and a strong base (NaOH). The film prepared with the addition of 5~10 wt% alumina powders in PFA resin showed corrosion resistance superior to that of pure PFA resin film. However, for the film prepared with alumina content above 10 wt%, the corrosion resistance did not improve with the physical properties, such as surface hardness and adhesion. The film prepared with plate/nanosize (weight ratio = 1/2) alumina especially enhanced the surface hardness and corrosion resistance. This can be explained as showing that the plate and the nanosize alumina dispersed in PFA resin effectively suppressed the penetration of cations and anions due to the long penetration length and fewer defects that accompany the improved surface hardness under a serious environment of 10% HF solution for over 120 hrs.

Biotic ligand model (BLM) and species sensitivity distribution (SSD) were used to determine the site-specific Cu threshold concentration (5% hazardous concentration; HC5) in soil pore water. Model parameters for Cu-BLM were collected for six plants, one collembola, and two earthworms from published literatures. Half maximal effective concentration ($EC_{50}\{Cu^{2+}\}$), expressed as $Cu^{2+}$ activity, was calculated based on activities of major cations and the collected Cu-BLM parameters. The $EC_{50}\{Cu^{2+}\}$ varied from 2 nM to $251{\mu}M$ according to the variation in environmental factors of soil pore water (pH, major cation/anion concentrations) and the type of species. Hazardous activity for 5% (HA5) and HC5 calculated from SSD varied from 0.076 to $0.4{\mu}g/L$ and 0.4 to $83.4{\mu}g/L$, respectively. HA5 and HC5 significantly decreased with the increase in pH in the region with pH less than 7 due to the decrease in competition with $H^+$ and $Cu^{2+}$. In the region with pH more than 7, HC5 increased with the increase in pH due to the formation of complexes of Cu with inorganic ligands. In the presence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), Cu and DOC form a complex, which decreases $Cu^{2+}$ activity in soil pore water, resulting in up to 292-fold increase in HC5 from 0.48 to $140{\mu}g/L$.

This study was carried out to investigate the constituents of inorganic ions of precipitation in Mokpo and Yeochon area from Jan. 1996 to Dec. 1997. The volume-weighted mean pH of precipitation was 5.7(4.8~7.8) at Mokpo, and 5.6(5.1~7.4) at Yeochon area, respectively. The non-seasalt(nss) anion concentrations were found in order of $nss-SO^{2-}_4>NO^-_3>nss-Cl^-$ at two areas. The portion of $nss-SO^{2-}_4;and;NO^-_3$ was 71~84% out of anions. The the non-seasalt cation concentrations were found in order of $NH^+_4>nss-Ca^{2-}>nss-Mg^{2+}>nss-K^-$ at two areas. The portion of $NH^+_4;and; nss-Ca^{2+}$ was 85~92% out cations. Compared regionally the year concentraton of $nss-SO^{2-}_4$, the result of Yeochon was 3 times higher than that of Mokpo in 1996, while the results of two regions were almost similar in 1997. The reason was that Yeochon was restricted area of the use of 0.5% sulfur B-C oil, controlled air pollution emission area, controlled semitotal amounts of air pollution emission area and partial operating of factories in 1997. There were no ions having high correlation with $H^+,;but;nss-SO^{2-}_4,;NO^-_3,;NH^+_4;and;nss-Ca^{2+}$ showed high correlation coefficient each other. It seems that these ions have little correlation with $H^+$ because they are washed out on binding state. Factor analysis showed that the first factor was complicated factor containing anthropogenic and soil resource, the second factor was sea-salt resource and the third factor was independent behavior of hydrogen at Mokpo. While, the first factor was complicated factor containing anthropogenic and sea-salt resource, the second factor was $Ca(NO_3)_2$ salt and the third factor was $NH^+_4;and;SO^{2-}_4$ synergied by resource and combination at Yeochon.

서로 다른 pH 조건에서 생성한 우라닐 가수분해물의 용해도에 미치는 지하수 성분의 영향을 측정하였다. 우라닐 가수분해 침전물 pH 6.4 및 9.7에서 제조하였다. 편마암 층에서 채취한 지하수로부터 무기 및 유기콜로이드를 제거한 분리지하수, 채취지하수의 분석성분과 동일한 조성을 가지는 합성지하수, 그리고 0.1 M NaCl 수용액에서의 용해도에 미치는 pH의 영향을 측정하였다. 또한 채취지하수에서 상대적으로 다량 존재하는 음이온 및 양이온의 영향을 측정하였다. 지하수에서의 우라닐 가수분해 침전물의 용해도는 0.1 M NaCl 용액에서보다 약 100배 정도 큰 것으로 나타났다. X-선 회절분석 결과는 높은 pH에서 제조한 우라닐 가수분해 침전물이 낮은 pH에서 제조한 것보다 낮은 결정화도와 높은 용해도를 보였다.
