This experiment was conducted to examine the effective DNA related with muscle growth of Korean native chicken. cDNA library was constructed with mRNA subtraction from Korean native chicken to Cornish. Total mRNA was purified from pectoralis muscle of adult chicken. Five clones were compared their DNA sequence and characteristics based on GenBank. Clone NDS-1 (618nt) was low homology (10%) with other species, but it is closely related with triosephosphate isomerase which is play an important role in glycolysis. Clone NDS-6 (651nt) is corresponding to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. These two clones are encoding to enzymes in key role in glycolysis. However, other three clones (NDS-2, NDS-10, NDS-12) have low homology with other species about 5.0%. These clones were not similar with any other eukaryotics. Therefore, three clones (NDS-2, NDS-10, NDS-12) are high possibility of specific DNA for muscle growth in Korean native chicken.

Minimal broth containing nicotine as a sole carbon source (MB/N) was used to isolate novel nicotine-degrading bacterial strains from tobacco plants and field soils. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence, phenotypic test and morphological tests showed that the position of these isolates were in the genus Arthrobacter of the family Micrococcaceae. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of the isolate NU11 and NU15 to type strains in the genus Arthrobacter were Arthrobacter equi (98.2%) which was presumably a novel strain and Arthrobacter nicotinovorans (99.8%), respectively. Both strain NU11 and NU15 showed rod shaped, Gram-positive characteristics and catalase activity, but did not show oxidase activity. The novel strain NU11 was found to degrade efficiently nicotine in MB/N medium by the analysis of UV absorption spectra and could be used as an organism in bioremediation technique.

Salmonella typhi is one of important causes of human enteric infections. S. typhi KNIH100 was isolated from a patient of typhoid fever in Korea. We cloned a 5.0 kb SalⅠ fragment containing the aroA gene encoding a 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthetase from chromosomal DNA of this strain. This recombinant plasmid was named pSAL80. E. coli CGSC2829, an aroA- mutant, was not grown on the M9 minimal medium but E. coli CGSC2829 (pSAL80) was grown on the M9 minimal medium. The aroA gene was composed of 1,284 base pairs with ATG initiation codon and TAA termination codon. Sequence comparison of the aroA gene exhibited 99%, 98%, and 77% identity with those of S. typhi Ty2, S. typhimurium, and E. coli respectively. As in the cases of Shigella sonnei and E. coli, the serC and aroA genes lie in a single operonic structure.

This study was performed for the identification of Streptococcus sp. from cultured flounders (Paralichthys olivaceus) showing streptococcosis in the Jeju island. We isolated 10 strains of Streptococcus iniae from the cultured olive flounders with streptococcosis. Isolated strains were identified in S. iniae since they have formed the expected band through performing PCR assay using specific primers, Sin-1 (5'-CTAGAGTACACATGTACT(AGCT)AAG-3') and Sin-2 (5'-GGATTTTCCACTCCCATTAC-3'). In addition to 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacers (ISR), operon structure of isolated strains showed that all strains had three 16S-23S rRNA ISR band patterns. The 16S-23S rRNA ISR sequence of isolated strains showed 96% sequence identity with S. iniae (GenBank accession number AF 048773). This paper is the first report that S. iniae is associated with streptococcosis of Olive flounder in Korea.

The 6.8 kb Xhol fragment of chromosomal ONA of Pseudomonas sp. 0177 contains the phnDEFG genes involved in the degradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated aromatics. Here, we report the nucleotide sequence of the ORF encoding a polypeptide consisted of 143 amino acids with a Mr of 13,859. The nucleotide sequence of the ORF is 99% and 68.6% identical to the downstream region of catE of Sphingomonas sp. strain HV3 and the ORF between xylE and xylG of Sphingomonas yanoikuyae Bl, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of the PhnF has 62.3% identity with the amino acid encoded hy orfY region of Citrobacter freundii DSM30040. We now confirm that the ORF is located between the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C230), phnE, and 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (2HMSO), phnG.

This study has focused on the possibility for recycling of tailings from the Sangdong tungsten mine as powder(TA) of self-compacting concrete(SCC). The experimental tests for slump-flow, time required to reach 500 mm of slump flow(sec), time required to flow through V-funnel(sec) and filling height of U-box test(mm) were carried out in accordance with the specified by the Japanese Society of Civil Engineering(JSCE). The results of this study, slump-flow of SCC was satisfied a prescribed range. And time required to reach 500 mm of slump flow(sec) and time required to flow through V-funnel(sec) decreased with increasing replacement of TA. But filling height of U-box test(mm), replacement of TA up to 30% were satisfied a prescribed range. The mechanical properties including compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and elastic modulus were checked with the requirements specified by Korean Industrial Standards(KS). The compressive strength of SCC decreased with increasing replacement of TA, splitting tensile strength and elastic modulus were similar to those of normal concrete. The fundamental durability was reviewed through the dry shrinkage rate and accelerated carbonation tests. As the result dry shrinkage rate and accelerated carbonation depth increased with increasing replacement of TA.

Megaplasmids of Azospirillum strains isolated in the Korean paddy field were identified. Five megaplasmids were identified from Azospirillum lipoferum AS192. Homology between nod ABC gene of Rhizobium meliloti and megaplasmids of Azospirillum lipoferum AS192 and Azospirillum brasilense AS112 was found. This observation might have reflected a common mechanism in the early process of soil bacterial association with plants.

현재 유전자 서열 분석이 완료된 유전체들이 점점 늘어나고 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 방대한 정보가 생성됨에 따라 다양한 생물체들에 대하여 대사 네트웍을 통한 다차원적 분석이 가능하게 되었다. 대사 네트웍은 단백질 또는 효소들의 전체적인 상호작용을 표현하기 때문에 생물학적 메카니즘에 대하여 보다 풍부한 정보를 제공해 준다. 본 논문에서는 일차원적인 유전자 서열에 의한 종의 계통 분류가 아니라 메타 수준의 생리 구조적 비교를 통하여 계통분류학에 대하여 새로운 방법의 접근을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 상동성 비교에 의한 계통 분류와 함께 좀 더 포괄적이고 거시적인 분석을 가능하게 한다.

본 논문에서는 지놈 연구에서 반드시 필요한 유전체 서열정보의 상동성 검색을 위해 해외 데이터베이스에만 의존하고 있는 국내 지놈 연구자들에게 더욱 빠르고 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 서열블라스트를 만들 수 있는 방법을 제공함으로써 국내 지놈연구에 도움이되고자 특정 종류의 유전자정보 만을 모아놓은 지놈 서열블라스트 시스템을 설계하고 구현하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 시스템을 활용하면 많은 생물 지놈 연구자들의 연구시간을 획기적으로 단축할 수 있을 것이다.
