Effect of light and pH on mycelial growth and sporangium formation of Phytophthora capsici Leon, causal fungus of fruit rot of red pepper was carried out on culture media. The maximum mycelial growth occurred at $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0 on potato sucrose agar. The fungus did not produce sporangia readily in dark condition. However, abundant sporulation occurred by illuminating continuous cool white fluorescent light with 2000 lux for 48 hrs. at $20{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. Oat meal agar was one of the best media for sporangia formation.

In the present study, it was performed that the influences of temperatures and electrical conductivity on the mycelial growth and formation of zoosporangium of the $Phytophthora$ sp. in paprika nutriculture. We investigated mycelial growth of $Phytophthora$ sp. at different temperatures. Morphological characteristics of the isolated pathogen from paprika were typically similar to those of $Phytophthora$ sp. such as no septa and formation of zoosporangia. Optimum growth temperature of the pathogen was $25^{\circ}C$. At $20^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$, the mycelium growth deceased, respectively. EC level of nutrient solution the mycelial growth was increased EC 0.5 up to $1.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and reduced 2.0 up to $3.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. The formation of sporangia was negatively correlated with EC, and the formation of sporangia were highly inhibited at EC $4dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$.

Effect of suppression for zoosporangial germination and mycelial growth of Phyto­phthora capsici causing red pepper fruit rot, was carried out in vitro test by using $NH_4OH$ and $KNO_2$, as ammonium/ammonia, nitrite/nitrous acid and $CaCl_2$, as calcium ion. Results of in vitro tests with $NH_4OH$, $KNO_2$, and $CaCl_2$, mol solutions demonstrated that zoosporangial germination of P. capsici was inhibited about 15 to 50% compared with control, according to $NH_3$, HNO as nonionized form and $Ca^{+2}$ ions. Ammonia concentration$(NH_3)$ was proportionally increased by high pH level and mol concentration, whereas low pH and high mol concentration showed rather higher concentration of $HNO_2$. Ammonia were more toxic at pH 8 than at pH 7 under the same concentration, while nitrous acid$(HNO_2)$ was more toxic than at pH 8. The zoosporangial germination inhibition in the ammonium/ammonia and nitrite/nitrous acid solutions demonstrated that $NN_3$, and $HNO_2$, were primarily responsible for the inhibition at lower concentration and mor" toxic by increasing concentration. $Ca^{+2}$ ions showed that zoosporangial germination was inhibitory by high pH level and increasing mol concentration in comparison with buffer conlrol. pH levels affected to mycelial growth of the fungus, and especially, high pH caused rather retardation of mycelial growth. There was no definite inhibitory response of mycelial growth at various degree concentrations of the toxicant solutions.

Two species of Phytophthora were isolated from infected fruits of jujube. Among 18 isolates collected, 6 were identified as P. nicotianae and 12 as P. patmivora on the basis of their mycological characteristics. The former produced no caduceus, ovoid to spherical sporangia in contrast to caduceus, ellipsoid, and broadly avoid to spherical ones of the latter. These two species were shown to be heterothallic and markedly papilate, chlamydospores abundant, and Al mating type. They skewed strong pathogenicity to fruits of jujube and pear while no symptom was produced on apple fruit by artificial inoculation. This is the first report of juiube fruit rot caused by P. ninotianae and P. palmivora in Korea.

Saprolegnia isolate from wild brook lamprey was identified on the basis of its morphological and molecular characteristics. The isolates showed aseptic hyphae and clavate zoosporagium. Zoospores discharge was typically saprolegnoid. Neither oogomia nor antheridia was observed in this study. ITS sequence obtained from the isolate was compared with other Saprolegnia spp. to analyse their phylogenetic relationships. Results showed that the isolate belongs to clade I including Saprolegnia parasitica. Based on the asexual organs, zoospore discharge manner and ITS sequence analysis, the isolate was identified as S. parasitica.

This study was done to find out the antifungal activity of two antibacterial antibiotics, Chlorampenicol and Streptomycin sulfate, against Phytophthora n. var. Parasitica, the causal agent of Phytophthora blight of sesame, growing on artificial media. On PDA medium, Chlorampenicol at 10 ppm, Streptomycin sulfate at 25ppm highly inhibited mycerial growth and completely inhibited zoosporangial formation of Phytophthora n. var. parasitica, and Chlorampenicol at 5 ppm, Streptomycin sulfate at 10 ppm slightly inhibited the mycerial growth and zoosporangial formation of the fungus. These antibiotics showed considerably increased inhibitory effect on the fungal growth when they were mixed with other chemical. Protein content in myceria of the fungus was decreased and abnormal growth of mycerial apex was observed by treatment of these antibiotics. Phytotoxicity on sesame seedlings was not observed by application of them.

Six pathogenic Pythium isolates obtained from diseased ginger rhizomes were identified as Pythum myriotyrum Drechsler based on various morphological and physiological characteristics. The isolates showed strong virulence on underground parts of buds, crowns, rhizomes, roots and aerial parts of leaves and stems as well. The isolates caused rot of germinated seeds of 10 different crops tested, including cucumber and pepper, and markedly inhibited seedling growth of 3 crops tested, including corn and barley. Maximum, optimum and minimum growth temperatures for P. myriotylum were 39~45$^{\circ}C$, 33~37$^{\circ}C$ and 5~7$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Optimum pH for the growth was 6~7. Mycelial linear growth was most rapid on V-8 juice agar, but aerial mycelia were most abundant on PDA and corn meal agar. Zoosporangial and oogonial formation was greatest on V-8 juice agar. Optimum temperatures for the production of zoosporangia and oogonia were 20~35$^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Control effects of phosphorous acid were investigated on Phytophthora blight of red pepper plants in greenhouse and field. In vitro test, the mycelial growth of Phytophthora capsici was inhibited by the phosphorous acid more than 97% at 1,000 ${\mu}g$ and 10,000 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL in the liquid and solid culture, respectively. At concentration of 10 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL of phosphorous acid, in the liquid culture the mycelial growth of P. capsici was inhibited 46.2%, however inhibited only 4.9% on the soild culture. Zoosporangial formation was also inhibited 89.1% by phosphorous acid at 100 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL. Phosphorous acid affected more zoosporangial formation of P. capsici than its mycelial growth. At the concentrations of 10,000, 1,000 and 100 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL of phosphorous acid, germination of zoosporangia was inhibited 100, 84.3 and 44.2%, respectively. Mycelial growth and zoosporangial formation of P. capsici were little affected at the concentration of 10 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL of phosphorous acid. Cermination of zoosporangia was also little affected at this concentration, however growth of the germ tubes was inhibited and the abnormal mycelial growth was observed. Phosphorous acid suppressed the incidence of Phytophthora blight of red pepper plants up to $77.0{\sim}62.0%$, in greenhouse. Phosphorous acid suppressed the incidence of Phytophthora blight of red pepper plants up to 54.0% at the conventional culture in field. Treatments of phosphorous acid increased up to 113% in height, 135% in number of fruit, and 129% in weight of fruit.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the coffee ground and its possibility to develop the antifungal activity. pH, EC, and Zn contents of the coffee ground from coffee shops were higher than those of commercial coffee ground, but there was no significant difference in $K_2O$, CaO, MgO, $Na_2O$, Mn contents. The antimicrobial activity of the water soluble extracts from the coffee shop and the commercial coffee ground were tested for six major plant pathogens, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici, Alternaria alternata, and Botrytis cinerea. The result showed that there was reliable antifungal activity against all of tested plant pathogenic fungi. The inhibition effects of coffee ground compost extract on the spore germination and zoospore formation were investigated. Water soluble extracts of the coffee ground compost mixture added with 10% sesame oil cake were significantly inhibited the growth of conidia germination of A. altanata and zoospore formation of P. capsici in vitro. For investigating the functional materials of coffee ground compost, it was measured the total polyphenolic compounds contents with 30 days interval during decomposing coffee ground for 90 days. The total polyphenolic content increased with decomposing periods, and it observed that the highest total polyphenolic content was $0.35{\pm}0.03mg\;GAE/g$ on the 90th day in the coffee ground compost added with 10% sesame oil cake.
