The carbon utilizations of Bacillus species and Pythium species were investigated by using a Biolog$^{(R)}$ microplate assay to determine if there are differences in the carbon utilizations of selected strains of these species. It may be possible to afford a competitive advantage to bacterial biological control agents by providing them with a substrate that they can readily use as a carbon source, for example, in a seed coating formulation. Microplates, identified as SFP, SFN and YT were used to identify spore-forming bacteria, nonspore-forming bacteria, and yeast, respectively. Bacterial and mycelial suspensions were adjusted to turbidities of 0.10 to 0.11 at 600 nm. One hundred microliters of each of the bacterial and mycelial suspension were inoculated into each well of each of the three types of microplates. L-arabinose, D-galactose, D-melezitose and D-melibiose of the 147 carbohydrates tested were found to be utilized only by bacteria, and not by Pythium species, by Biolog$^{(R)}$ microplate assay, and this was confirmed by traditional shake flask culture. Thus, it indicated that the Biolog$^{(R)}$ microplate assay could be readily used to search for specific carbon sources that could be utilized to increase the abilities of bacterial biological control agents to adapt to contrived environments.

2000년 9월부터 2002년 12월 사이에 바이칼호에서 분리된 빈영양성 세균 168균주와 저온성 세균 132균주를 대상으로 BIOLOG Microplate를 이용하여 탄소원의 이용특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 빈영양성 세균 중 oxidase 양성 (GN-NENT 그룹)의 86% (56균주)와 oxidase음성 (GN-ENT그룹)의 89% (92균주), 저온성 세균 중 oxidase 음성 (GN-ENT 그룹)의 82% (85균주)는 다앙한 탄소원 중에서 $\alpha$-D-glucose를 이용할 수 있었으며, 저온성 세균 중 oxidase 양성 (GN-NENT 그룹)의 93% (26 균주)는 bromosuccinic acid를 이용하였다. $\alpha$-D-lactose는 빈영양성 GN-ENT 그룹의 일부만이 이용하였으며 나머지 균주들은 전혀 이용하지 못하였다. BIOLOG Microplate를 이용하여 동정된 균들을 속별로 살펴보면, Pseudomonas속이 49균주로 가장 많았으며, 그 외에도 Salmonella 속, Serratia속, Buttiauxella 속, Pantoea 속, Yersinia 속, Brevundimonas 속, Hydrogenophaga 속, Photorhabdus 속, Sphingomonas 속, Xenorhabdus 속이 동정되었다.

BIOLOG GN microplate를 이용한 유일탄소원의 이용능 비교를 통한 대사적 유사성과 16S rDNA 의 PCR 증폭산물의 제한효소 지문 분석에 따른 유전적 유사성을 5종의 식생토양에 따른 토양미생물 군집을 대상으로 비교하였다. 16S rDNA를 증폭하여 제한효소 지문을 분석한 결과, 토양으로부터 직접 추출하여 증폭한 토양세균 군집의 16S rDNA의 유전적 유사도는 BIOLOG GN microplate를 이용한 대사적 구조와 일치하는 경향을 보았다. 그러나 배양된 종속영양세균 군집의 다양성과는 유전적 유사도가 매우 낮게 나타났다.

BIOLOG GN microplate를 이용하여 6종의 식생 토양에 따른 토양미생물 군집의 유일탄소원 이용능을 비교 분석하였다. 전체적으로 축합물, 아미노산, 카르복실산 화합물을 잘 이용하였으나, amide의 경우 낮은 이용능을 보였다. 대응분석을 통해 6종류의 식생 토양에 따른 토양미생물 군집은 크게 삼림토양, 초지-경작지토양, 비식생 토양의 3가지 그룹의 대사적 다양성의 차이를 보이는 집단으로 분류되었다. 다차원 척도법 분석을 통해 신갈나무 삼림토양의 미생물 군집은 소나무와 떡갈나무 삼림토양의 미생물 군집과는 또 다른 그룹으로 분리되었다. 이러한 식생토양형에 다른 미생물 군집의 대사 다양성의 차이로 볼 때, 식생의천이에 따라 식생에 영향을 받는 미생물 군집의 대사 다양성 또한 식생의 천이에 대응하여 변화하고 있음을 확인하였다.

Reactions of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae to 95 carbon sources in a 96-well microplate (BiOLOG GN MicroPlateTM) were investigated. The bacterium used 9 carbon sources such as D-mannitol, sucrose, etc., but did not use 62 carbon sources such as $\alpha$-cyclodextrin, dextrin, etc. Based on the reactions, a user data base for identification of P. syringae pv. actinidiae was constructed in Biolog program (BiOLOG MicroLogTM 2 system). P. syringae pv. actinidiae isolates collected from kiwifruits could be identified automatically with high similarity using the user data base, which could diagnose rapidly and easily whether the tree was infected with bacterial canker or not.

The database of metabolic fingerprints generated using the GIolog system of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, described by Lee et al. (8), was used for the identification of 75 Leuconostoc isolates. The test strains were isoalted using a selective isolation medium specific for the genus Leuconostoc and examined for their ability to oxidize carbon sources using the Biolog system. The results show that the 75 test strains were identified to the known Leuconostoce clusters. It is suggested that the Biolog system can be applied for rapid identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi.

One hundred and eighty two lactic acid bacteria, isolated mainly from kimchi, including reference strains were examined for their ability to utilize 95 carbon sources. The test strains were assigned to 5 major, 1 minor and 12 single-membered clusters based on the $S_{SM}$, UPGMA algorithm (at similarity of $80{\%}$). These aggregate clusters were equivalent to the genus Leuconostoc (aggregate cluster M and N), the genus Lactobacillus (aggregate cluster Q and R), and the genera Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc (aggregate cluster O and P) according to the database of the Biolog system. This study demonstrates that rapid identification and classification of isolates originating from kimchi can be achieved on the basis of such carbon source utilization tests.

A causal agent of bacterial soft rot occurring in soybean sprout cultivation in Korea was isolated and identified, and its incidence in several sprout-soybean cultivars was examined. Infected soybean seeds became light brown and whitish, and could not germinate until 3 days after seeding, accompanying rotting of soybean seeds and sprouts. The causal organism isolated from the rotten seeds and sprouts was identified as Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora on the basis of its pathogenicity, morphological and physiological characteristics and the results of the Biolog GN microplate test program. The bacterial soft rot by E. c. subsp. carotovora was firstly described in soybean sprout in Korea, and we name it“the bacterial soft rot of soybean sprout”. The disease occurred more frequently in Nam-hae and Fu-reun sprout-soybean cultivars than in Eun-ha, So-baek, and Ik-san cultivars.

Iron precipitating organisms play a significant role in the formation of ferric hydroxide precipitate, which acts as strong adsorbent for toxic metal. In this respect four different iron precipitating cultures were isolated from Hutti gold mine surface winze water sample on citrate agar medium. The best isolate was screened out for metal removal study on the basis of fast visual iron precipitation. The selected isolate was identified as Enterobacter sp. based on routine biochemical tests and Biolog GN microplate results and as Enterobacter cloacae subsp. dissolvens by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (GenBank accession number EU429448). Influence of medium composition, medium initial pH, the influence of inoculum size, effect of various media and ferric ammonium citrate concentration were studied on metal removal in shake flask experiments. Under the optimized conditions studied, E. cloacae showed $94{\pm}2$, $95{\pm}2$ and $70{\pm}2%$ of cadmium, copper and mercury removal from a simulated waste in shake flask studies. In lab scale column reactor more than 85% of copper and mercury removal was achieved.

Forth microbial isolates out of 167 isolates from the soil of controlled cultivation areas inhibited mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani AG2-1 causing the strawberry bud rot in vitro. Among the isolates, Kr013 and Kr020 showed suppressive effect to R. solani AG2-1 on seedlings of chinese cabbage treated by root immersion, charcoal carrier granule and drenching on 1.0% infested soil in pot. Furthemore, the corresponding effect was also revealed when the charcoal carrier granule of the isolates were treated on the seedling of strawberry that were planted on the planting hole in pot. To examine the effects of biological control in green house, it had been tested the infection rates by using two different treatments. First, the strawberry runner were planted on the nursery soil mixed with 20% charcoal carrier granule of Kr013 and Kr020 isolate respectively, and grown for 20 days before transplanting. Then the young plants form the mother plant were separated and transplanted on the 1.0% infested soil. Another method was that the charcoal carrier of Kr013 and Kr020 isolates applied to planting hole of 1.0% infested soil just before transplanting. Then the young plants were grown for 20 days on the sterilized nursery soil before transplanting. From the results, the effects of biological control was significantly higher on former treatment (e.g. the infection rates were 7.3 and 5.7%, respectively) than on the latter treatment (e.g. the corresponding value were 16.7 and 15.7%, respectively). The antagonistic isolates of Kr013 and Kr020 were respectively identified as Pseudomonas cepacia with the similarity of 55.0% and 60.0% by using the Biolog GN Microplate system.
