The dye decolorization rate in a cell-free culture broth of the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor CBR43 was studied, including the effects of inhibitors of NaCl, Zn(II), and Cd(II) on dye decolorization activity. The maximum rates of dye decolorization in cell-free culture broth were 1,410, 44.7, 41.2, and $0.19{\mu}mol{\cdot}l^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$ for Acid Blue 62, Acid Black 175, Reactive Blue 4, and Acid Red 114, respectively. The inhibition effects of NaCl, Zn(II), and Cd(II) on dye decolorization were quantitatively compared using the half maximal inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$), which indicates the concentration of an inhibitor required for 50% inhibition. Based on $IC_{50}$ values, dye decolorization in the cell-free culture broth of CBR43 was most potently inhibited by Cd(II), whereas the inhibitory effect of NaCl was relatively low. The dye decolorization rates and $IC_{50}$ data can be used in the design and development of a dye-wastewater treatment process using T. versicolor CBR43 and its operating factors.

Reactive dyes waste water, a toxic and refractory pollutant, was treated by an electrochemical method using $Ti/IrO_2$ as anode and Stainless Steel 316 as cathode. In this technique, sodium chloride as an electrolyte was added. A number of experiments were run in a batch system. Artificial samples (reactive blue 19, red 195, yellow 145) were used. Operation parameters, such as supporting electrolyte concentration, current density, pH and sample concentration have been investigated for their influences on COD and color removal efficiencies during electrolysis. After 5 and 90 minites of eletrolysis, color was reduced by 51.5% and 98.9% respectively. Under the condition of current density $10A/dm^2$, NaCl concentration 12mg/l and pH 3, 62.9% of $COD_{Cr}$ was removed after electrolysis for 90 minites. The optimum condition of color removal and COD reduction in this work was found to be the following : pH 3, sodium chloride concentration 20g/l, current density $10A/dm^2$. As a result, we confirmed to be effective to color removal and reduction of refractory organic material.

Submerged Membrane bioreactor (SMBR) is one of the last techniques that allow a high quality of treated industrial effluents by coupling biological treatment and membrane separation. Thus, this research was an effort to evaluate performance of a SMBR treating a model textile wastewater (MTWW). Different SMBR operating parameters like mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and Dissolved oxygen concentration, hydraulic retention time (HRT), and nutrients addition (N and P) have been investigated. MTWW (influent to the SMBR) was generated using the reactive azo-dye, Novacron blue FNG (100mg/L feed concentration). Results of MTWW treatment using SMBR under optimal operating conditions (MLSS, 4.2-13.3g/L; HRT, 4 days; pH, 6.9-7.2; conductivity, 400-900 μS/cm and temperature, 19.4-22.2 ℃) showed that COD and blue colour treatment performances are between 94-98% and 30-80%, respectively. It is concluded that SMBR can be used in large scale textile wastewater treatment plants to improve effluent quality in order to meet effluent discharge standards.

폐흡충의 분비배설물은 항원성이 높아 폐흡충증의 진단용 항원으로 가치가 있다고 보고되었다. 이 까닭은. 분비배설물에는 숙주내에서 여러 생물학적 반응을 일으키는 물질뿐 아니라 충체의 일부구성 성분 및 여러 효소 등이 포함되어 있기 때문이라 가정할 수 있다. 이 연구는 폐흡충 성충의 분비배설물에서 숙주의 산소라디칼을 분해시키는 효소인 catalase, superoxide dismutasr (SOD), peroxidase 등이 존재하는지를 확인하고 그 활성도를 측정하였으며 그 중 peroxidase를 정제하여 생화학적 특성의 일부 및 항원성을 관찰하였다. 폐흡충 성충 50마리를 $37^{\circ}C$ 부란기에 12시간 배양한 뒤 배양액을 원심분리하고 이를 분비배설 조효소로 사용하였다. 분비배설물에서 catalase, SOD와 peroxidase의 활성도를 측정할 수 있었고 그 비활성도(specific activity)는 각각 11.1, 3.4 및 48.5 이었다. 분비배설물의 peroxidase 비활성도는 충체추출액의 비활성도보다 1.5배 높았다 이 효소를 Sephacryl 5-300 Superfine gel filtration. DEAE-Tnsacryl M anion exchange chromatography로 정제하였다. 정제한 peroxidase의 분자량은 HPLC에서는 19 kDa이었고 SDS-전기영동에서는 16 kDa이었다. 정제한 효소를 전기영동한 후 diaminobenzidine으로 specific staining한 결과 이 효소는 충체추출액의 효소와 같은 영동이동거리를 나타내었다 즉 이 효소는 충체로부터 분비되는 것임을 알 수 있었다. 한편 폐흡충 감염 환자의 혈청과 반응시킨 immunoblot에서 분비배설물의 구성 단백질중 84, 64, 42, 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22, 11 및 8 kDa가 항원성을 보인 반면 정제한 peroxidase는 미약한 반응을 보였다 이상의 결과로 폐흡충 peroxidase는 분비배설되어 SOD, catalase와 함께 산소 독성을 제거하는데 작용하고 있으나 패흡충 감염 환자에서 특이 항체 반응을 일으키는데 에는 미약한 작용을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Several white-rot fungi are able to produce extracellular lignin-degrading enzymes such as manganese peroxidase (MnP), lignin peroxidase (LiP), and laccase. In order to enhance the production of laccase and MnP using Trametes versicolor KCTC 16781 in suspension culture, the effects of major medium ingredients, such as carbon and nitrogen sources, on the production of the enzymes were investigated. The decolorization mechanism in terms of biodegradation and biosorption was also investigated. Among the carbon sources used, glucose showed the highest potential for the production of laccase and MnP. Ammonium tartrate was a good nitrogen source for the enzyme production. No significant difference in the laccase production was observed, when glucose concentration was varied between 5 g/l and 30 g/l. As the concentration of nitrogen source increased, a lower MnP activity was observed. The optimal C/N ratio was 25 for the production of laccase and MnP. When the concentrations of glucose and ammonium tartrate were simultaneously increased, the laccase and MnP activities increased dramatically. The maximum laccase and MnP activities were 33.7 U/ml at 72 h and 475 U/ml at 96 h, respectively, in the optimal condition. In this condition, over 90% decolorization efficiency was observed.

본 연구는 저산소증에서 반하가 대뇌신경세포에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 $E_18$의 배양 흰쥐 대뇌신경세포를 반하로 전처리한 후, LDH assay와 tryphan blue 염색으로 세포 생존율을 측정하였고, $H_2DCF-DA$, JC-1 염색으로 MMP, ROS 및 RNS 변화를 조사하였다. 이에 반하는 저산소증으로 유발된 대뇌신경세포를 2.5 ${\mu}g/ml$까지 농도의존적으로 세포 생존률을 증가시켰으며, 시간에 따른 생존율을 살펴보면 저산소증 유발 후 1 시간에는 별 차이를 보이지 않았지만 3 일, 5 일 후에는 각각 10.2%, 17.8%로 매우 유의한 증가를 보였다. 저산소증에서 반하가 MMP에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 저산소증 유발직전과 유발 후 1 일, 3 일, 5 일에 JC-1으로 염색하고 미토콘드리아의 염색강도를 측정한 결과 적색형광은 실험군에서 전반적으로 대조군에 비하여 강하게 염색되는 미토콘드리아의 비율을 증가시킨 반면 녹색형광은 대조군과 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 즉 반하가 저산소증으로 유발된 MMP의 소실을 감소시킴을 알 수 있다. 또한 반하는 전반적으로 $H_2DCF-DA$에 염색되는 세포 비율을 현저하게 낮추는 것으로 나타나 저산소증으로 유발된 ROS 및 RNS의 생성을 유의성 있게 감소시켰다. 따라서 반하는 저산소증에서 ROS의 생성을 억제하고 MMP의 소실을 막아 세포의 에너지고갈을 방지함으로서 신경세포를 보호하는 것으로 이해된다.
