Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is substantial economic importance in South Korea, with its cultivation occupying a significant portion of agricultural land. However, sustainable cucumber production requires effective management of various diseases affecting the crop yield. In this study, we explored the potential of Streptomyces sp. S20-465-derived metabolites in controlling cucumber anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare. This study identified 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone as a potent antifungal compound present in the n-hexane extract of Streptomyces sp. S20-465 culture filtrate. This compound exhibited significant the disease reduction, demonstrating their potential as control agents. Our findings suggest that Streptomyces sp. S20-465-derived metabolite could serve as an effective tool for managing cucumber anthracnose, offering a sustainable approach to enhancing cucumber production. Further research into the application and efficacy of these compounds in agricultural system will be conducted.

Data on the spatial distribution of a plant population among administrative areas is useful for various purposes. In this study, I analyzed the spatial distribution of the geographical distances of Carex siderosticta at Mt. Geumjeong and Mt. Ahop in Korea. The aim was to test a spatial structure within two populations of C. siderosticta. Most natural plots of C. siderosticta are not uniformly distributed in the forest community; for example, uniform plots were aggregately distributed within a space of 6.0 m $\times$ 6.0 m. When the sampling plots were larger than 6.0 m $\times$ 12.0 m, the individuals of C. siderosticta were aggregately distributed. The neighboring patches of C. siderosticta were predominantly 7.5 m to 9.0 m apart, on average; however, if the natural populations were disturbed by human activities, the aggregation occurred in shorter distances than a scale of 9.0 m. Moran's I of C. siderosticta significantly differed from the expected value in only 16 of 40 cases (40%). In conclusion, the geographical distribution of C. siderosticta is not even, with varying degrees of size in the plots, while human activities give rise to density effects in the plots at both Mt. Geumjeong and Mt. Ahop in Korea.

Five commercially available edible sweeteners are used as diet products because they can replace sucrose. In studies on the effects on animals and the human body, stability has been proven by excreting-oriented studies with characteristics of animal cells, and accumulation in small amounts has been ignored. On the other hand, plants can absorb, degrade, and accumulate foreign substances, so the effect of degradability and accumulation potential can be studied using plants. Metabolic effects in plants of commercially available saccharin and acesulfame potassium (Ace K) were tested using germinated barley and bean sprouts. In germinated barley and bean sprouts, saccharin and ace K showed inhibitory effects on plant growth in all organs from low concentrations in leaves, stems and roots. In addition, it can be observed that the symptoms of death appear clearly over time, so it can be seen that they are accumulated in the body of the plant. As the accumulated amount increases, the toxic effect increases and the plant reaches a state where it is unable to metabolize, turning black from the tip of the leaf and reaching a state of death. In order to remove the accumulated artificial sweetener, recovery was attempted by culturing in distilled water, but it acts as a substance that is not degraded and dies without avoiding toxicity. Saccharin and ace K cannot be excreted from the cell. Its toxic effects are thought to be persistent, inhibiting growth and eventually leading to cell death.

방향족 화합물인 폴리염화비페닐(PCB)은 비페닐 기본골격의 10개소의 탄소에 1개에서부터 10개까지의 염소가 치환되어 있는 물질로써 그 독성과 잔류성으로 인해 중대한 환경오염물질의 하나로 주목받고 있다. 폴리염화비페닐에 의한 환경오염은 수질오염으로 이어지며, 식물연쇄에 의해 어류의 경우 그 농축계수가 10만 정도까지 이른다고 한다. 이러한 현상은 육상에서도 일어나며 생물농축과 식물연쇄에 의해 결국 식품을 오염시키게 된다. 이와 같은 난분해성 오염물질의 정화에는 미생물이 가지고 있는 분해능력이 큰 역할을 담당한다는 것이 알려져 있다. 1970년대 토양으로부터 비페닐을 분해ㆍ이용할 수 있는 비페닐 자화성균이 단리된 이후, 호기적으로 폴리염화비페닐을 분해하는 균을 중심으로 연구가 행해져 왔으며 방향족 화합물에 있어서의 대사 경로 등이 밝혀지게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 폴리염화비페닐을 분해하는 능력을 가지는 분해균을 모델로 하여 다양한 환경하에서 폴리염화비페닐을 분해ㆍ대사 할 수 있는 미생물의 분리를 시도하였다. 그 결과 클로로비페닐 분해능을 가진 Gram 양성균을 단리하는데 성공하였고, 이 균이 Bacillus속의 미생물인 것을 확인하였다.

Effect of various fraction from corn silk on alcohol metaholism in rats were examined and the results were as follows: ethanol souhle fraction. after a single oral administration to rats. was found to cause a significant deL'I'ease in the serum ethanol concentration as well as enh.lJ1cement of liver eytosolie ADH activity, on the other hand. the fraction imouhle in ethanol was found to cause an increase in the blood ethanol concentration and inhihit ADH activity.

장내세균의 구성과 각종 질환의 상관관계에 대한 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 대장관련 질환 뿐 아니라, 당뇨, 비만 등 대사성 질환, 심지어 정신질환에까지 장내세균 구성의 영향이 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이에 다양한 천연 소재를 활용하여 각종 동물질환모델에서 생리활성을 검토할 때, 장내세균의 구성을 분석하여 그 상관관계를 밝힐 필요가 있다. 장내세균의 구성에 따라 질환의 양상이 달라질 수 있으며, 치료에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 동물실험을 수행할 때에도 실험동물 간 장내세균의 구성이 다르면 질환의 유도 또는 천연소재에 의한 치료 패턴이 달라질 수 있음을 가정하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 EtOH와 LPS를 이용하여 간장해 동물모델을 구축하고, 장내세균 구성을 T-RFLP법으로 분석하여 그 상관관계를 검토하였고, tracheloside 등의 천연물을 투여함으로써 성분의 대사 패턴을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 천연소재의 간장해 개선 연구를 수행하기 위한 기초 결과로 활용될 수 있다.

제초제의 해독제란 제초제 약해로부터 작물을 선택적으로 보호하는 화합물을 의미한다. 현재 사용되고 있는 제초제 해독제는 작물에 흡수, 이행되는 제초제의 양을 줄여주거나 작물체내에서 제초제의 대사작용 속도를 촉진하여 무독성화 시킴으로써 작물의 약해를 경감시킨다.

Mycoplasma genitalium has 367 conserved genes and the smallest genome among mono-culturable prokaryotes. Conservative metabolic pathways were examined among M. genitalium and 14 prokaryotes, one hyperthermophilic exosymbiotic archaeon Nanoarchaeum equitans and 13 intracellular eubacteria of plants or insects, with fewer conserved genes than M. genitalium. They have 11 to 71 metabolic pathways, however complete metabolic pathways ranged from 1 to 24. Totally, metabolic pathway hole is very high due to the lack of 45.8% of the enzymes required for the whole metabolic pathways and it could be suggested that the shared metabolic pathway with the host's enzyme would work or the essential substances are host dependent. The number of genes necessary for mass transfer through the cell membrane is also very low, and it may be considered that the simple diffusion or the protein of the host will function in the cell membrane of these prokaryotes. Although the tRNA charging pathway was distributed in all 15 prokaryotes, each has 5-20 tRNA charging genes. This study would give clues to the understanding of the metabolic pathways of intracellular parasitic bacteria of plant and endosymbiotic bacteria of insects, and could provide basic data for prevention of crop damage, development of insect pests and human medicines.
