Chromosome analysis using mitosis, meiosis and bicolor FISH were carried out in Bupleurum latissimum Nakai, which is one of the endemic plants in Ulleung island of korea. The somatic methaphase chromosomes number of this plant was 2n = 2x = 16 and the chromosome complements consisted of six pairs of metacentrics and two pairs of submetacentrics. The size of chromosomes ranged 2.40${\sim}$4.20 ${\mu}$m and NOR (nucleolus organizer region) chromosome did not observed using conventional staining. In meiosis chromosomes, metaphase-I and anaphase-I were observed. Metaphase-I anaphase-I showed 8 bivalents and chromosomes migration to make two daughter cells. Using bicolor FISH, one pair of 5S and 45S rDNA signals were detected on the centromeric region of chromosome 3 and the end of short of chromosome 2,respectively. We also observed the NOR using 45S rDNA probe.

Background: Panax ginseng Meyer (Asian ginseng) has a large nuclear genome size of > 3.5 Gbp in haploid genome equivalent of 24 chromosomes. Tandem repeats (TRs) occupy significant portions of the genome in many plants and are often found in specific genomic loci, making them a valuable molecular cytogenetic tool in discriminating chromosomes. In an effort to understand the P. ginseng genome structure, we characterized an ultrahigh copy 167-bp TR (Pg167TR) and explored its chromosomal distribution as well as its utility for chromosome identification. Methods: Polymerase chain reaction amplicons of Pg167TR were labeled, along with 5S and 45S rDNA amplicons, using a direct nick-translation method. Direct fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to analyze the chromosomal distribution of Pg167TR. Results: Recently, we reported a method of karyotyping the 24 chromosome pairs of P. ginseng using rDNA and DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) bands. Here, a unique distribution of Pg167TR in all 24 P. ginseng chromosomes was observed, allowing easy identification of individual homologous chromosomes. Additionally, direct labeling of 5S and 45S rDNA probes allowed the identification of two additional 5S rDNA loci not previously reported, enabling the refinement of the P. ginseng karyotype. Conclusion: Identification of individual P. ginseng chromosomes was achieved using Pg167TR-FISH. Chromosome identification is important in understanding the P. ginseng genome structure, and our method will be useful for future integration of genetic linkage maps and genome scaffold anchoring. Additionally, it is a good tool for comparative studies with related species in efforts to understand the evolution of P. ginseng.

A bacterial strain, YK-2, was isolated as a producer of trans glutaminase from a forest soil sample of Daegu, Korea. The isolate showed a G+C content of 72.7 mol%, contained meso-$A_2pm$ as the cell-wall amino acid, and possessed menaquinone MK-9 ($H_6$) and menaquinone MK-9 ($H_8$) at a ratio of 6:4. The chemotaxonomic analysis, as well as phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rDNA sequence, identified the isolate as a member of Streptomyces platensis. For transglutaminase production, the optimum medium composition was determined to be 2% glucose, 1% polypeptone, 1% soy tone, and 0.1% $MnCl_2$. The transglutaminase was stable within the pH range of 5.0-9.0 and $30-45^{\circ}C$, and the optimum pH and temperature were pH 8.0 and $45^{\circ}C$, respectively, without any requirement for $Ca^{2+}$.

Severe root rot was observed in fields of cabbages (Brassica oleracea L.) in 2015 in China. Cardinal symptoms of this disease included root rot and wilting leaves. A fungus was isolated from diseased tissues consistently. Based on the morphological features and molecular analysis of the ITS-5.8S rDNA and D1/D2 domain of the 28S rRNA gene, it was identified as Plectosphaerella cucumerina. This is the first report of P. cucumerina causing cabbage root rot in China and the world.

Bacillus cereus에 항균활성을 갖는 박테리오신을 생산하는 유산균을 김치로부터 분리하였다. 선별한 균주는 Bergey's manual, 16S rDNA 분석을 통하여 Lactococcus lactis로 동정되었으며, L. lactis ET45로 명명하였다. ET45가 생산하는 박테리오신은 pH 3.0-11.0까지 안정하였고, 열 안정성 테스트결과 $40-121^{\circ}C$까지 안정함을 확인하였다. 박테리오신의 생산을 위한 최적 조건으로 MRS 액체배지에서 초기 pH 7.5, $30^{\circ}C$에서 18시간 배양하였을 때 최대생산을 보였다. 박테리오신의 항균활성이 proteinase K의 처리로 활성이 소실되어, 박테리오신이 단백질성 물질임을 확인하였다. 박테리오신의 분자량은 tricine sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (TSDS-PAGE)를 통하여 약 4.5 kDa임을 확인하였다.

Several yeast strains degrading malic acid as a sole carbon and energy source were isolated from Korean wine pomace after enrichment culture in the presence of malic acid. Among them, the strain designated as KMBL 5774 showed the highest malic acid degrading ability. It was identified as Issatchenkia orientalis based on its morphological and physiological characteristics as well as the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1-5.8S rDNA-ITS II region. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS I-5.8S rDNA-ITS II sequences showed that the KMBL 5774 is the closest to I. orientalis zhuan 192. Identity of the sequences of the KMBL 5774 was 99.5% with those of I. orientalis zhuan 192. The optimal pH of the media for the growth and malic acid degradation by the yeast was between 2.0 and 3.0, suggesting that the strain is an acidophile. Under the optimized conditions, the yeast could degrade 95.5% of the malic acid after 24 h of incubation at $30^{\circ}C$ in YNB media containing 2% malic acid as a sole carbon and energy source.

전통발효 식품인 간장으로부터 chitinase활성이 높으면서 갈변반응을 일으키는 균주인 CJ-3를 분리하여 갈변반응생성물이 면역기능, 항산화력 및 세포활성에 미치는 영향과 생화학적 특성을 규명하였다. 분리된 CJ-3 균주는 16S rDNA 염기서열분석에 의하여 Bacillus atrophaeus로 동정되었으며 분리된 균주의 분자량은 대략 31.0 kDa으로 colloidal chitin(0.5, 1.0, 2.0%)의 첨가에 의하여 chitinase 활성이 현저히 증가되었다 B. atrophaeus CJ-3에 의해서 유도되는 갈변반응물 200${\mu}\ell$ 첨가로 LPS에 의하여 유도되는 nitric oxide (NO) 활성을 45%까지 감소시켰다. MTT 분석을 통한 세포활성에서도 갈변반응물은 LPS에 의하여 세포활성을 정상수준으로 회복하였다. CJ-3. 균주의 DPPH 전자공여능법에 의한 항산화력은 갈변반응에 의하여 약 55% 증가하였다 . 이러한 결과들은 갈변반응생성물은 면역기능 및 세포활성을 증가시키는 것으로 추정된다. 분리된 균주의 최적 생육조건은 최적온도 37$^{\circ}C$, 최적 pH 7.0 및 염 농도는 9% NaCl농도까지는 잘 생육하는 것으로 나타났으며 분리된 균주의 주요 intracellular 유리아미노산은 glutamate로 나타났다.

In recent years, several southern coastal fish farms in Korea have experienced 2-30% mortality in striped beakperch suffering from bacterial infections during the spring. In this study, we identified a bacterium isolated from diseased striped beakperch as Pseudomonas anguilliseptica via a biochemical test and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. To evaluate the susceptibility of striped beakperch to P. anguilliseptica, $4.39\times10^7$ or $4.39\times10^5$ CFU/fish of bacteria were injected intraperitoneally at $18\pm1^{\circ}C$ into fish weighing 5.5 g. Cumulative mortalities reached 100% and 45% in the $4.39\times10^7$ and $4.39\times10^5$ CFU/fish infected groups, respectively. Experimentally infected fish showed cell-associated inflammation as well as bacteria in the kidneys and spleen. This study is the first report of striped beakperch mortality caused by P. anguilliseptica, which has pathogenicity in striped beakperch.

농촌진흥청 국립원예특작과학원에서 육성된 formolongi-Asiatic (FA)종간잡종 나리 'Bonanza', 'Coral Candy', 'Purple Crystal'의 특성검정 및 FISH 분석을 통한 염색체 검경을 수행하였다. 'Bonanza', 'Coral Candy', 'Purple Crystal'의 개화시기는 6월 중하순, 중순, 상순으로 각각 중만생종, 중생종, 조생종에 해당한다. 개화방향은 3품종 모두 상향이며 약간의 향기를 가지고 있다. 절화장은 101.0cm('Purple Crystal')에서부터 142.3cm('Bonanza')로 초장 신장성이 우수하여 절화로서의 개발이 가능하다. 화폭은 'Bonanza'와 'Coral Candy'가 17,1cm, 16.9cm로 관찰되어 대형화로 분류되며 'Purple Crystal'은 12.3cm으로 좁으나 화폭이 4cm 이상으로 화폭이 안정적이다. 잎의 길이는 'Bonanza'는 15.7cm, 'Coral Candy'는 19.7cm, 'Purple Crystal'은 11.1cm로 관찰되었다. 염색체 분석 결과, 3품종 모두 3배체(2n=3x=36)로 관찰되었다. FISH 분석 결과, 'Bonanza', 'Coral Candy', 'Purple Crystal'의 5S/45S rDNA가 각각 4/11 loci, 4/12 loci, 4/11 loci로 관찰되었다. 3번 염색체를 제외하고 나머지 염색체에서 관찰되는 rDNA의 패턴이 달라 FISH 분석에 대한 결과는 품종을 구별하는 마커로 유용하게 이용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.
