Abstract

We have examined the correlation between the physicochemical and microbiological environment variables for the different layers of oak forest soil in Mt. Gyeryong, Korea. The result shows that there is a high correlation in the environment variables between the soil parameters of the fermented (F) layer and humus (H) layer. In particular, the pH level in the F layer shows a high correlation with C and N, while the various organic acids of the H layer turns out to be closely correlated with soil bacteria density. As we evaluated phylogenetic characteristics of bacterial populations by DGGE analysis with DNA extracted. Total of 175 bands including 43 bands from litter (L) layer, 42 bands from F layer, 43 bands from H layer and 47 bands from rhizosphere (A) layer were selected as the major DGGE band of oak forest soil. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, 175 DGGE bands were classified into 32 orders in 7 phylum. The heat map was analyzed in order to compare the quantity of the base sequences of each order and based on the clustering of the different layers of oak forest soil, the result confirms that the F layer and H layer belong to a different cluster from that of L layer and A layer. Furthermore, it also showed that approximately 50% of the total microbial population in different layers is ${\alpha}$-proteobacteria, which indicates that they belong to the dominant system group. In particular, Rhizobiales, Burkholderiales and Actinobacteriales were observed in all the seasons and layers of oak forest soil, which confirms that they are the indigenous soil bacterial community in oak forest soil.

상수리림 산림토양 각 층위 내 물리 화학적, 미생물학적 환경변수간 상관관계를 확인한 결과, 낙엽 분해 층(F)과 부식층(H)은 각 환경변수와 높은 상관관계를 갖는 특징을 나타내었다. 특히, F층에서는 pH가 C 그리고 N과 높은 상관관계를 나타내었고, 부식층(H)에서는 각종 유기산이 토양 세균 밀도와 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 상수리림 산림토양의 층위별 세균군집 구조의 계통해석을 위해 각 층위의 계절별 시료로부터 DNA를 직접 추출하고 DGGE 분석한 결과 낙엽층(L)의 경우 43 bands, F층은 42 bands, H층은 43 bands 그리고 근권 토양층(A)은 47 bands로 총 175 bands가 상수리림 산림토양의 DGGE 주요 bands로 선발되었다. 확보된 총 175 DGGE 주요 bands의 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 정보를 바탕으로 세균군집의 계통 해석한 결과, 7개 phylum에 32개 order로 세 분류되었다. 각 order에 속하는 염기서열을 heat map 분석하고 상수리림 산림토양의 각 층위을 clustering 한 결과 F층과 H층이 L층 그리고 A층과 서로 다른 cluster를 형성하는 것이 확인되었다. 또한, 산림토양의 각 층위에 존재하는 세균군집 중 약 50%가 ${\alpha}$-proteobacteria로 우점계통군으로 나타났다. 특히, Rhizobiales, Burkholderiales, 그리고 Actinobacteriales 목은 모든 계절과 모든 층위에서 보여지는 세균군집으로 확인되어 상수리림 산림토양에서 대표적인 토착세균 군집임이 확인되었다.
