유기발광다이오드(orgianic light emitting diodes, OLEDs)는 대형 유연 디스플레이와 발광원으로서 사물인터넷 (IoT)의 하드웨어 기기 등 다양한 분야에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 낮은 일함수의 금속 및 쉽게 반응하는 유기재료 자체의 특성으로 인하여 외부환경에 매우 취약한 단점을 가지고 있으며 특히, 수분과 산소에 민감하여 외부와의 접촉 시 성능이 급속도로 저하되는 현상을 나타내게 된다. 이를 방지하기 위해 PVD, CVD, ALD 와 같은 방법으로 보호막 형성 연구를 진행 중에 있지만 복잡한 공정 및 높은 비용의 문제점 등이 있다. 그러므로 외부 환경에 의한 성능 저하를 차단해주는 저렴하고 단순한 공정의 페시베이션(passivation) 박막 기술 개발이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 유기발광다이오드의 수명 향상을 위하여 스핀코팅(spin-coating) 방법으로 녹색 유기발광다이오드 소자 위에 조성비에 따른 페시베이션 박막을 형성한 후 녹색 유기발광다이오드의 휘도특성 변화를 조사하였다. 페시베이션 용액은 poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)를 기반으로 sodium alginate (SA)를 0, 10, 20, 40 wt%의 조성비로 제조하였으며, 40 wt%의 조성비에서 가장 좋은 배리어 보호 특성을 나타내었다. 최종적으로 PVA + SA 용액의 최적화된 페시베이션 보호막을 제작할 수 있었다.

Sphacelaria is a filamentous brown algal genus that can be epibiotic on macroalgae, marine plants, and sea turtles. Its important role in benthic ecosystems, exposure to different stressors (e.g., grazing), and use as a model organism make Sphacelaria ideal for assessing physiological responses of organisms to environmental inputs. Single-cell RNA sequencing is a powerful new probe for understanding environmental responses of organisms at the molecular (transcriptome) level, capable of delineating gene regulation in different cell types. In the case of plants, this technique requires protoplasts ("naked" plant cells). The existing protoplast isolation protocols for Sphacelaria use non-commercial enzymes and are low-yielding. This study is the first to report the production of protoplasts from Sphacelaria fusca (Hudson) S.F. Gray, using a combination of commercial enzymes, chelation, and osmolarity treatment. A simple combination of commercial enzymes (cellulase Onozuka RS, alginate lyase, and driselase) with chelation pretreatment and an increased osmolarity (2512 mOsm/L H₂O) gave a protoplast yield of 15.08 ± 5.31 × 10⁴ protoplasts/g fresh weight, with all the Sphacelaria cell types represented. Driselase had no crucial effect on the protoplast isolation. However, the increased osmolarity had a highly significant and positive effect on the protoplast isolation, and chelation pretreatment was essential for optimal protoplast yield. The protocol represents a significant step forward for studies on Sphacelaria by efficiently generating protoplasts suitable for cellular studies, including single-cell RNA sequencing and expression profiling.

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons is found to be an attractive process for remediation of contaminated habitats. However the poor bioavailability of hydrocarbons results in low biodegradation rates. Cyclodextrins are known to increase the bioavailability of variety of hydrophobic compounds. In the present work we purified the Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase (CGTase) enzyme which is responsible for converting starch into cyclodextrins and studied its role on biodegradation of diesel oil contaminated soil. Purification of CGTase from Enterobacter cloacae was done which resulted in 6 fold increase in enzyme activity. The enzyme showed maximum activity at pH 7, temperature $60^{\circ}C$ with a molecular weight of 66 kDa. Addition of purified CGTase to the treatment setup with Pseudomonas mendocina showed enhanced biodegradation of diesel oil ($57{\pm}1.37%$) which was similar to the treatment setup when added with Pseudomonas mendocina and Enterobacter cloacae ($52.7{\pm}6.51%$). The residual diesel oil found in treatment setup added with Pseudomonas mendocina at end of the study was found to be $73{\pm}0.21%$. Immobilization of Pseudomonas mendocina on alginate containing starch also led to enhanced biodegradation of hydrocarbons in diesel oil at 336 hours.
