Cho, S. J.,Lee, S. S. Springer Science + Business Media 2017 Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Vol.110 No.1

<P>A novel Gram-stain positive, aerobic, short rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated strain CHO1(T), was isolated from rhizosphere soil from a ginseng agriculture field. Strain CHO1(T) was observed to form yellow colonies on R2A agar medium. The cell wall peptidoglycan was found to contain alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, d-ornithine and serine. The cell wall sugars were identified as galactose, mannose, rhamnose and ribose. Strain CHO1(T) was found to contain MK-11, MK-12, MK-13 as the predominant menaquinones and anteiso-C-15:0, iso-C-16:0, and anteiso-C-17:0 as the major fatty acids. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphoglycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and three unidentified glycolipids were found to be present in strain CHO1(T). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain CHO1(T) was found to be closely related to Microbacterium mangrovi DSM 28240(T) (97.81 % similarity), Microbacterium immunditiarum JCM 14034(T) (97.45 %), Microbacterium oryzae JCM 16837(T) (97.33 %) and Microbacterium ulmi KCTC 19363(T) (97.10 %) and to other species of the genus Microbacterium. The DNA G+C content of CHO1(T) was determined to be 70.1 mol %. The DNA-DNA hybridization values of CHO1(T) with M. mangrovi DSM 28240(T), M. immunditiarum JCM 14034(T), M. oryzae JCM 16837(T) and M. ulmi KCTC 19363(T) were 46.7 +/- 2, 32.4 +/- 2, 32.0 +/- 2 and 29.2 +/- 2 %, respectively. On the basis of genotypic, phenotypic and phylogenetic properties, it is concluded that strain CHO1(T) represents a novel species within the genus Microbacterium, for which the name Microbacterium rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of M. rhizosphaerae is CHO1(T) (= KEMB 7306-513(T) = JCM 31396(T)).</P>

Improvement of hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium thin film solar cells by different p-type contact layer

Cho, J.,Pham, D.P.,Jung, J.,Shin, C.,Park, J.,Kim, S.,Tuan Le, A.H.,Park, H.,Iftiquar, S.M.,Yi, J. Pergamon 2016 Materials science in semiconductor processing Vol.41 No.-

In this study, we report an appreciably increased efficiency from 6% up to 9.1% of hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium (a-SiGe:H) thin film solar cells by using a combination of different p-doped window layers, such as boron doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (p-a-Si:H), amorphous silicon oxide (p-a-SiO<SUB>x</SUB>:H), microcrystalline silicon (p-@?c-Si:H), and microcrystalline silicon oxide (p-@?c-SiO<SUB>x</SUB>:H). Optoelectronic properties and the role of these p-layers in the enhancement of a-SiGe:H cell efficiency were also examined and discussed. An improvement of 1.62mA/cm<SUP>2</SUP> in the short-circuit current density (J<SUB>sc</SUB>) is attributed to the higher band gap of p-type silicon oxide layers. In addition, an increase in open-circuit voltage (V<SUB>oc</SUB>) by 150mV and fill factor (FF) by 6.93% is ascribed to significantly improved front TCO/p-layer interface contact.

Magnetic properties of pure AlFe2B2 formed through annealing followed by acid-treatment

J.W. Lee,송명석,B. K. Cho,남충희 한국물리학회 2019 Current Applied Physics Vol.19 No.8

AlFe2B2 was synthesized by arc-melting to investigate its magnetic properties. The magnetic properties of AlFe2B2 with impurities are different from those of pure AlFe2B2. In this study, an as-cast sample and an annealed sample followed by acid treatment were prepared to understand the magnetic properties of pure AlFe2B2. In the powder X-ray diffraction measurements, a pure AlFe2B2 phase was confirmed after annealing followed by acid treatment. Various magnetic properties were investigated by using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements for the as-cast and the post-treated samples. Saturation magnetization and effective magnetic moments of the post-treated sample are close to the theoretical values of pure AlFe2B2. The maximum magnetic entropy change (˗ΔS) of pure AlFe2B2 is 6.95 J/kg∙K at 5 T. Pure AlFe2B2 shows a positive slope in the Arrott plots corresponding to a second-order magnetic transition. Magnetic transition temperatures estimated from dM/dT, the Arrott plots, and the Curie-Weiss law are mutually complementary.

This experiment was Carried out to determine the effect of different levels of phosphate and potash fertilizers applied on yields and quality of leaf tobacco. It was done at all varying levels of phosphate and potassium fertilizers. S0 (non-fertilizer Plot) ; N:P:K=0:0:0(kg/10a) S1 (1/2amount Plot) ; N:P:K=10:7.5:10(〃) S2 (Standard Plot) ; N:P:K=10: 15:20(〃) S3 (1.5 times Plot) ; N:P:K=10:22.5:30(〃) S4 (2.0 times Plot) ; N:P:K=10:30:70 (kg/10a) Urea was applied as nitrogen, triple super phosphate as phosphate, potassium sulfate as potash source. The total amount of fertilizers was applied as basal dressing per one plant. This experiment was carried out by using randomized block design with 3 replication. The results obtained in terms of yields and quality are summarized as follows. 1.By increasing the amounts of phosphate and qotassium fertilizers, growing status of the largest leaf length, the largest leaf width and stem size of tobacco increased in the order of S4> S3> S2> S1> S0. 2.By increasing the amount of phosphate and potassium fertilizers, yield was increased in theorder of S4> S3> S2> S1> S0. This increase showed generally high significance among various levels of treatments. 3.The regressive equation was derived from the relationship between treatment levels and tobacco leaf yield. The most desirable treatment level for the maximum yield was estimated as the 2.87 times as much as the treatment level of phospate and potasium fertilizers of standardlot. 4.By increased application of phosphate and potash fertilizers, the contents of P2O5 K2 and K2O in the tobacco leaf became greater while the content of nicotine was decreased. Thus, a negative correlation between fertilizer application and nicotine content has been observed.

조광근,최윤재,복진덕,이강우,곽성욱,우정희,성창근 한국동물자원과학회 2001 한국축산학회지 Vol.43 No.4

Antimicrobial cationic peptides have been received increasing attention as natural antibiotics for their broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities and remarkably low cytotoxicity against normal mammalian cells. Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast, is an outstanding host for high degree of heterologous gene expression. Four candidates of antimicrobial cation peptides (CPs; Lactofemicin, Magainin, Protegrin-1 and Indolicidin) were expressed using pPIC9K-MPM vector containing AOXI promoter and MPM (modified Promagainin) as an acidic fusion partner. The MPM-CPs were expressed and induced by methanol induction method. The cell extracts, solubilized, were subjected to cyanogen bromide cleavage. SDS-PAGE (16.5% tricine) analysis showed the size of Protegrin-1 at 2.1kDa and of Indolicidin at 1.4kDa. The antimicrobial activity of Protegrin-1 or Indolicidin gene integrated transformant was observed by measuring clearing zones on 1% bacto-peptone agar plate against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli XL-1 blue (10^5 CFU/㎖) or Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (10^5 CFU/㎖).
