Since the condition of immobilization must be optimized, it is very important to know whether and on how conditions bacterial cells retain their metabolic activity during immobilization process. A bioluminescence intensity had the maximum value when cell concentrations were between 1.0 and 1.2 measured at O.D660. The strontium alginate was used as an immobilization matrix and two independent factors for immobilization of Photobacterium phosphoreum with strontium alginate were optimized with the response surface methodology(RSM) considering degree of bioluminescence. As a result, the optimum concentration for immobilization was found to be 2.4%(w/w) for sodium alginate and 0.31M for strontium chloride, respectively. A dilution was carried out with 2.5%(w/v) NaCl solution that is an optimum environmental condition for growth of P. phosphoreum. Under the such condition of immobilization, hardness could be predicted as 4.66$\times$104N/$m^2$ and it took different time according to the volume of matrix to be immobilized completely.

P. phosphoreum을 이용하여 연속 모니터링 시스템을 개발하고자 free cell과 고정화 세포의 중금속 물질에 대한 반응을 일차로 조사하였다. 고정화 물질로는 절차가 비교적 간단하고 bioluminescence 투과성에 영향을 주지 않는 sodium algmate를 사용하였다. Alginate는 발광미생물의 빛 발생 대사를 저해하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 bioluminescence의 투과성이 탁월하였다. 중금속 물질 중에서 $HgCl_2$, $CdCl_2$, $MnSO_4$, $ZnSO_4$를 선택하여 free cell과 alginate 혼합 세포 및 strontium alginate에 고정화한 세포에 노출시켜 반응을 조사하였으며, 또한 독성 및 strontium alginate에 고정화한 gel을 disc type으로 제조하여 중금속 물질에 대한 bioluminescence의 변화를 조사하였다. Free cell과 disc type의 세포가 alginate 혼합세포 및 strontium alginate로 고정화한 세포에 비해서 비교적 민감한 반응을 보였으며 중금속 물질의 농도에 대하여 bioluminescence intensity의 감소율이 비례하여 나타났다. 특히, 고정화 세포인경우 free cell 보다 중금속의 mass transfer에 미치는 영향 때문에 민감성은 떨어지지만 모두 linear regression curve를 나타내었다. Disc type의 경우 alginate에 혼합한 세포와 strontium alginate로 고정화한 세포보다 민감한 반응을 보인 것은 중금속에 노출된 면적이 넓기 때문으로 사료된다. 독성물질에 대한 반응분석을 위하여 Gamma value로부터 $EC_{50}$을 계산하였으며 이를 이용하여 각 중금속 물질의 농도와 P. phosphoreum의 bioluminescence intensity와의 상관관계 및 각 중금속 물질의 독성정도를 산출하였다. $EC_{50}$값을 이용하여 독성정도를 볼 때 4가지 type 모두 $HgCl_2$가 가장 독성이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 종합해 볼때 P. phosphoreum을 고정화 할 경우 bioluminescence에 거의 영향을 미치지 않을 뿐만 아니라 bioluminescence의 안정성에도 기여하기 때문에 모니터링 시스템에 적용할 수 있다. 특히 disc type의 고정화 제재는 free cell과 동등한 민감도를 나타내었기 때문에 빛 안정성을 유지하면서 수질 모니터링을 위한 bioluminescence제재로 이용이 가능하다.

방사성 물질 체내 오염에 대한 진단에 필요한 기초 자료를 얻기 위하여 $^{85}SrCl_2\;1{\mu}Ci$를 NIH(GP) 마우스의 복강내 투여로 체내 오염시키고, $CaNa_3DTPA$ 8.4 mg, sodium alginate 5 mg 및 saline 5 ml등을 병행 투여로 응급 처치한 후 경과 시간에 따라 도살 부검하여 중요 장기 및 배설물의 방사능을 측정하였다. 그 결과 방사성 스트론튬에 대한 단기간의 유효 반감기는 33 시간으로 나타났으며 각 처치제의 배설효과는 $CaNa_3DTPA$가 4.7배, sodium alginate가 1.7배, 그리고 saline이 2.4배 이었다. 스트론튬 단독 투여군의 체내 축적은 척추(脊椎), 대퇴골(大腿骨), 흉골(胸骨), 간장(肝臟)의 순이었으며, 배설 경로는 요(尿) 35.4%, 변(便) 64.4% 및 기타 0.2%이었고, $CaNa_3DTPA$ 및 saline 투여군은 주로 뇨, 그리고 sodium alginate 투여군은 변(便)을 통하여 배설하였다. 이로부터 방사성 스트론튬 체내 오염에 대한 응급 처치는 $CaNa_3DTPA$, sodium alginate 및 saline등을 병행 투여함으로써 방사선 피폭을 경감시킬 것으로 사료 되었다.

Acremonium chrysogenum was immobilized in ionotropic gel beads to develop semi-continuous production of cephalosporin C (CPC). Barium alginate beads were more stable than calcium alginate or strontium alginate beads in chemically defined media. The gel stability of Ba-alginate was further increased by cross-linking with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The presence of carboxymethyl cellulose inside Ba-alginate beads did not reduce mass transfer resistance. Ba-alginate microbeads that had little diffusion limitation increased CPC production rate 1.6 fold higher than that of normal beads. CPC fermentation with immobilized cells in Ba-alginate microbeads was performed continuously for 40 days by way of repeated fed-batch operations. Mathematical modeling was developed to describe the repeated fed-batch fermentation system. Results of the computer simulation agreed well with the experimental data, which made it possible to predict an optimal feeding rate that could maximize total CPC productions.

Stability of bioluminescence was investigated with Photobacterium phosphoreum immobilized on the strontium alginate in order to develope continuous real time monitoring of pollutants. The stability of bioluminescence emission was improved by prolonged aging time. The aging time of ${\geq}40$ min and the cell concentration of ${\leq}0.6\;of\;OD_660$ were selected for the immobilization of P. phosphoreum to give linearity between cell concentrations and bioluminescence intensity. In sensitivity tests using phenol, it was found that this compound quenched bioluminescence proportional to the concentration without lowering of cell growth. The lower value for maximum quenching ($q_s$) and higher dissociation constant ($K_s$) were observed with strontium-alginate immobilized cells compared to free cells. The response of bioluminescence to toxicants was evaluated with the immobilized luminescent bacteria. The sensitivity of the immobilized cells was found to be good in response to toxicants, 4-nitrophenol, salicylate and cadmium, when evaluated with a specific rate of bioluminescence quenching.

A new sensing system based on the immobilization of luminescent bacteria, photobacterium phosphoreum, was proposed for continuous real-time monitoring of pollutants. The response curves demonstrate that Photobacterium phosphoreum immobilized on the strontium alginate were very sensitive to seven reference chemicals used. The significant inhibitory concentrations for bioluminescence emission were 5 ppm for Pb$(NO_3)_2$), $NiCl_2$, $CdCl_2$, 50 ppm for $NaASO_2$, 0.1 ppm for $HgCl_2$, 0.5 ppm for pentachlorophenol and less than 5 ppm for SDS, respectively. The alginate mixed-cells (AMC) retained their luminescence during experimental period (29 days) under storage condition of $-80^{\circ}C$. The variables affecting performance of continuous flow through monitoring (CFTM) was optimized in order to ensure stability and efficiency. The flow through cell with strontium-alginate immobilized luminescent bacteria was tested with salicylate and 4-nitrophenol. A rapid response of luminescence was recorded by time drive mode in bioluminescence spectrometer after exposure to both toxicants.

Earlier studies have shown that the administration of Na-alginate, a water-soluble, non absorbable acidic polysaccharide, effectively reduces the absorption of radioactive strontium, cadmium and other bivalent metals. In this study the effects of Na-alginate on the Toxicity induced by Lead and Cadmium were examined in rats and the following results were obtained. 1. The elevations of the activities of serum GOT, GPT by Pb and Cd administration in the experimental animals. However, the administration of Na-alginate significantly inhibited the elevation of serum GOT, GPT. 2. Generally serum TBA values were significantly elevated in Pb and Cd group in comparison with the control group. However, the administration of Na-alginate inhibited the elevation of serum TBA values. 3. The activity of Alkaline phosphatase was also significantly elevated in Cd group in comparison with the control group. However, the administration of Na-alginate significantly inhibited the elevation of serum alkaline phsphatase. 4. Furthermore, the activity of $\delta$-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase in red blood cells was also significantly inhibited by Pb and this inhibition was stimulated by the administration of Na-alginate. 5. The concentrations of Pb in liver and Cd in kidney were markedly increased by Pb and Cd. However, the administration of Na-alginate significantly inhibited the elevation of them.

Various materials including sodium alginate, k-carrageenan, collagen and polyacrylamide were studied in order to maintain the stability of bioluminescence of Photobacterium for the monitoring of volatile toxic substances. Kinetic parameters of specific rate($\mu$), and gamma(${\gamma}$) value were determined for the relationship between bioluminescence of immobilized P. phosphoreum and toxic substances. The bioluminescence intensity was found to be proportional to the concentration of toxic substances and the free cells were shown to be more sensitive than immobilized cells when volatile substances were exposed to the cells. Bioluminescence increased slightly after several minutes, which was due to the volatility of toxic compounds. Furthermore, P. phosphoreum immobilized on strontium alginate was better than cells immobilized on sodium alginate for the response to substances used.

P. phosphoreum의 고정화에 있어 중요한 것은 Matrix의 선택이며, Matrix로서 sodium algnate만을 사용하여 고정화하는 것보다는 strontnum chloride를 첨가하였을 때 세포의 bio-iummescence 유지도가 증가하였다. 저장 온도에 따른 bio-iummescence 유지도와 관련하여 -$70^{\circ}C,\;-20^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C$에서 저장한 세포의 경우 저장 1일 후에 급격한 bioluminescence의 감소를 보였으나 $4^{\circ}C$ 에서 저장한 세포는 bioluminescence의 유지도가 15일 이상 이어졌다. 따라서 P. phosphoreum의 bioluminescence 안정성에 있어 가장 좋은 결과를 나타낸 것은 2.5%(W/W)sodium alginate와 0.3M(W/V)strontnum chloride 를 사용하여 고정화한 세포였으며 저장 온도는 $4^{\circ}C$였다.
