We used the entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae, for the effective biological control of Lycoriella mali during Agaricus bisporus cultivation. The concentrations of two S. carpocapsae products distributed in Korea were $6{\times}10^4$ and $2.5{\times}10^5m^{-2}$ respectively. As a result of investigating the density of A. bisporus larvae in a rice straw medium and soil in an A. bisporus cultivation house, the mean numbers per $30cm^2$ were 0.8 and 22.2, respectively, and A. bisporus larvae were detected mainly in the soil. The control effects after once spraying S. carpocapsae at $6{\times}10^4$ and $2.5{\times}10^5m^{-2}$ was higher at the 14th day than at the 7th day. Therefore, we investigated the control effect after twice spraying of $6{\times}10^4$ and $2.5{\times}10^5m^{-2}$ at the 14th day. The control effects after this spraying were 51.9% and 96.8%, respectively, and the control effect of spraying at $2.5{\times}10^5m^{-2}$ was better than at $6{\times}10^4m^{-2}$. The control effect of diflubenzuron WP was lower than 50%.

A fruit rot of sweet persimmon(Diospyros kaki cv. 'Fuyu') that infected with blue mold was found during the storage and transport in Jinju Gyeongnam Province, Korea. Fruit surfaces that infected with the fungus were formed water soaked lesion at first then gradually colonized with the fungus and formed mycelial mats. From the point of infection, fruits become sunken and mostly ruptured. The pathogenic fungus was isolated from infected fruits and cultured on potato dextrose agar. The colonies of the pathogenic fungi were white at frist then became greyish green on malt extract agar. Conidia were ellipsoidal and $2.6{\sim}3.8{\times}2.4{\sim}3.8{\mu}m$ in size. Phialides were ampulliform, verticilate of 3-7, $8.0{\sim}9.2{\times}2.0{\sim}3.0{\mu}m$ in size. Metulae were verticils of 2-4, smooth, $9.0{\sim}12.6{\times}3.0{\sim}4.6{\mu}m$ in size. Ramuli were groups 1-3, smooth, $11.0{\sim}17.6{\times}2.3{\sim}3.0{\mu}m$ in size. Rami were groups 1-2, $7.5{\sim}32.6{\times}2.6{\sim}4.2{\mu}m$ in size. Stipes were septate, smooth, thin walled, $56{\sim}302{\times}2.8{\sim}4.0{\mu}m$ in size. Penicilli were mostly quaterverticillate. Based on the cultural and mycological characteristics as well as pathogenicity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Penicillium expansum. This is the first report on the blue mold of sweet persimmon(Diospyros kaki) caused by P. expansum in Korea.

Bioaerosols generated from composting facilities and landfills may create health risks for workers and nearby residents. To determine the levels of culturable airborne bacteria and fungi in bioaerosols, samples were seasonally collected at a composting facility and a landfill in Ulsan, Korea with an impaction-type sampler. Concentrations of heterotrophic bacteria averaged (in $MPN/m^3$) $6.5{\times}10^3$ (range $1.5{\times}10^2-1.5{\times}10^4$) in the composting facility and $3.9{\times}10^3$ (range $6.0{\times}10^1-9.3{\times}10^3$) at the entrance of the facility. These concentrations were 460 and 280 times higher than those of reference sites. Coliform bacteria were detected both inside and entrance of the facility. On the landfill, heterotrophic bacterial concentrations averaged (in $MPN/m^3$) $4.9{\times}10^2$ (range $1.7{\times}10^2-1.0{\times}10^3$), while they averaged $3.7{\times}10^2$ (range $4.8{\times}10^1-1.3{\times}10^3$) at the parking lot of the landfill. These concentrations were 35 and 26 times higher than those of reference sites. When we isolated and tentatively identified heterotrophic bacteria, Pseudomonas luteola was the most dominant species in bioaerosols from the composting facility, whereas the most abundant one in reference samples was Micrococcus sp. Average concentrations of airborne fungi were measured between $4.8{\times}10^2$ and $7.9{\times}10^2\;MPN/m^3$ depending on sites, which were 2.1-3.4 times higher compared to those of reference sites. While Cladosporium, Alternaria, and Penicillium were commonly identified fungal genera, genus Aspergillus was identified only in bioaerosols from the composting facility.

We studied the effect of food concentration on grazing, growth and fecundity of cyclopoid copepod Paracyclopina nana. Marine phytoplankton Tetraselmis suecica was used as a livefood for the copepod. Six stage compositions were used and food concentrations for the experiment were 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60 and $80{\times}10^4$ cells/mL. Range of food concentrations with 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and $4{\times}10^4$ cells/mL were used for nauplii production experiment. Grazing rates of P. nana in all developmental stages on the different concentrations were increased with increasing diet concentration. While the growth of nauplius was not affected by increase of food concentration, food concentration outside of $1{\times}10^4$ to $5{\times}10^4$ cells/mL range negatively affected that of copepodite. Daily nauplii production was increased with increasing food concentration but $3{\times}10^4$ and $4{\times}10^4$ cells/mL treatments were not significantly different with $2{\times}10^4$ cells/mL treatment. As a result, optimum concentration of T. suecica for mass culture of P. nana was considered to be 5,000 cells/mL for nauplius stage, 10,000 cells/mL for copepodite stage and adult male, 20,000 cells/mL for adult female, respectively.

The survival and transfer of chromosomal genes coding for the synthesis of amino acids (threonine, tryptophan, histidine, leucine, methionine) and of plasmid-borne genes coding for resistance to antibiotics (chloramphenicol, kanamycin, erythromycin) by transformation in sterile and nonsterile soil (the soil was amended to 12% vol/vol with the clay mineral, montmorillonite) was studied. In pure culture, the numbers of vegetative cells of the Bacillus subtilis strains decreased by 1 to 1.5 orders of magnitude within one week, but spores of each strain showed lesser decreases. In sterile soil, the populations of vegetative cells and spores decreased by 1.5 to 3 orders of magnitude within 2 to 4 days and then showed little additional decreased. The transformation frequencies (number of transformants/numbers of donors and recipients) of individual amino acid-genes invitro ranged from $1.3{\pm}0.6{\times}10^{-6}$ to $6.0{\pm}2.36{\times}10^{-6}$, of two amino acid-genes from $8.5{\pm}0.7{\times}10^{-8}$ to $3.1{\pm}0.6{\times}10^{-7}$, and of the antibiotic-resistance genes from $1.5{\pm} 0.2{\itmes} 10^{-7}$ to $1.4{\pm} 0.4{\times} 10^{-5}$ . In sterile soil, the frequencies of transfer of individual amino acid-genes ranged from $2.0{\times} 10^{-7}$ to $2.0{\times} 10^{-5}$ and of the antibiotic-resistance genes from $2.0{\times} 10^{-7}$ to $9.4{\pm} 4.7{\times} 10^{-6}$. The transfer of two amino acid-genes in sterile soil was detected at a frequency of $2.0{\times} 10^{-6}$ to $4.5{\times} 10^{-6}$, but only in three instances. The transformation frequencies of antibiotic-resistance genes in nonsterile soil were essentially similar to those in sterile soil. However, to detect transformants in nonsterile soil, higher concentrations of antibiotics were needed, as the result of the large numbers of indigenous soil bacteria resistant to the concentration of antibiotics used in the sterile soil and in vitro studies. The results of these studies show that genes can be transferred by transformation in soil and that this mechanism of transfer must be considered in risk assessment of the release of genetically engineered microorganisms to the environment.

Purpose : To determine the perturbation effect in the tissue downstream from surface layers of lesions located in the air/tumor-tissue interface of larynx using 6MV photon beam. Materials and Methods : Thermoluminescent dosimeters(TLDs), were embedded at 3 measurement locations in slab no. 7 of a humanoid phantom and exposed to forward and backward direction using various field sizes($4{\times}4cm^2\;-\;15{\times}15cm^2$). Results : At the air/tissue interface, forward dose perturbation factor(FDPF) is about 1.085 with $4{\times}4cm^2,\;1.05\;with\;7{\times}7cm^2,\;1.048\;with\;10{\times}10cm^2$ and $1.041\;with\;15{\times}15cm^2$. Backscatter dose perturbation factor(BDPF) is about 0.99 with $4{\times}4cm^2$, 0.981 with $7{\times}7cm^2$, 0.956 with $10{\times}10cm^2$ and 0.97 with $15{\times}15cm^2$. Conclusion : FDPF is greater as field size is smaller. And FDPF is smaller as the distance is further from the air/tissue interface.

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of commercial Oiji, Korean pickled cucumbers (six commercial and three traditionally made products) were investigated. Saltiness values for commercial and traditionally made products were 3.424-4.47 and 3.92-7,23%, and acidity and pH were 3.43-3.85 and 0.39-0.75%, respectively, Commercial products showed lower L and higher b values than traditionally made products. Redness of both products ranged from -1.47 to -3.71. Numbers of total microbial, lactic acid bacteria, and yeast in traditionally made products ($1{\times}10^{7}-1.3{\times}10^{9},\;4{\times}10^{6}-4.7{\times}10^{8},\;and\;1.3{\times}10^{6}-3{\times}10^{8}\;cfu/mL,\;respectively$), were higher than those of commercial products ($1{\times}10^{4}-2{\times}10^{7},\;1{\times}10^{4}-6{\times}10^{6},\;and\;1{\times}10^{4}-6{\times}10^{6}cfu/mL\;respectively$). Texture analysis revealed fracturability (2,103-3,010 g) and hardness (409-890 g) varied among the products above. Overall acceptability scores of commercial products C1 and C2 were highest at 7.6-8.0 compared to other products (p<0.05). From the principal component analysis, the first principal component (PC1, 79.94%) and the second principal component (PC2, 19.94%) could describe the majority of the variability. Commercial product C1, C2, C3, and C7 having high negative loadings on the PC2 axis are closely related to over-all acceptability, over-all taste, savory taste and hardness. From Pearson correlation analysis, hardness and chewiness correlated positively with saltiness, whereas over-all acceptability, positively correlated with savory and overall taste, respectively (p<0.05).

Concentrations of mercury, cadmium, lead and copper are determined in the surrounding seawater and in seaweeds, Undarta pinnatifida and Sargassun fulvellum, from Suyeong Bay in Busan in the spring tide and neap tide from January to April 1974. The range and mean of the heavy metal concentrations in the surrounding seawater are as follows : mercury 0.00-0.39 ppb, 0. 16ppb; cadmium 0.00-0.46 ppb, 0.18 ppb, lead 0.00-0.94 ppb, 0.26 ppb : copper 0.00-0.86 ppb, 0.25 ppb respectively, and the concentrations varied slightly according to the tide. The mean values of concentration rate of Hg, Cd, Pb and Cu in air dry base were $0.42\times10^3(0.13\times10^3\~1.0\times10^3)$, $2.1\times10^3(0.8\times10^3\~4.9\times10^3)$, $8.9\times10^3(3.1\times10^3\~19\times10^3)$ and $15\times10^3(6.0\times10^3\~28\times10^3)$ in the Undaria pinnatifida, and $0.25\times10^3($0.06\times10^3\~0.56\times10^3)$, $1.0\times10^3(0.61\times10^3\~1.7\times10^3)$, $5.4\times10^3(3.1\times10^3\~8.5\times10^3)$ and $22.8\times10^3(14.4\times10^3\~52.4\times10^3)$ in the Sargassun fulvellum. The concentration rate of Hg, Cd and Pb of the Undaria pinnatifida was almost twice as much as that of the Sargassun fulvellum but the concentration rate of copper of the former was slightly smaller than of the latter.
