V. alginolyticus 138-2, a marine halophilic bacterium, produced an extracellular amylase with a molecular weight of ca. 56,000. The analysis of the digestion products of soluble starch by thin layer chromatography(TLC) revealed that the extracellular amylase of V. alginolyticus 138-2 is a saccharifying-type alpha-amylase. The alpha-amylase activity of the culture supernatant of soluble starch was optimal at pH 6.0 and 45$^{\circ}C$. Ca2+ slightly increased the alpha-amylase activity, whereas Hg2+, An2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+inhibited the enzymatic activity. Alkylating thiol group agent, iodoacetic acid did not affect the alpha-amylase activity, but reduced thiol reagents such as dithiothreitol, cysteine, and beta-mercaptoethanol stimulated theenzymatic activity. On the other hand, even if V. alginolyticus 138-2 is a marine halophilic bacterium, its alpha-amylase activity was significantly inhibited by NaCl.

Sulfate-reducing bacteria have been isolated from soil and their abilities to degrade dibenzothiophene (DBT) were compared with those of type cultures. Among the strains tested a soil isolate M6 showed the highest ability to degrade DBT. Isolate M6 was characterized as a mesophilic obligatory anaerobe. The morphology of the bacterium was vibrioid with the size of $0.4-0.7{\;}\mu\textrm{m}{\;}by{\;}1.0-1.5{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$. Gram reaction was negative and nonsporulating. Desulfoviridin is present. Lactate, pyruvate, ethanol and malate supported growth of the bacterium in the presence of sulfate. Sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate and sulfur served as electron acceptors for growth. Hydrogenase was present. The mol% of guanine and cytosine of DNA was determined as 56%. The bacterium produced viscous material. From these results, the isolate M6 was identified as Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

To isolate an alginate-degrading bacterium, we conducted a single colony isolation using a solid medium containing alginate as the sole carbon source. A marine bacterium Y-4 capable of degrading alginate was isolated from seawater. The strain was identified to be Pseudoalteromonas sp., based on morphological, biochemical, 16S rDNA homology, and phylogenetic analyses. Moreover, Pseudoalteromonas sp. Y-4 exhibited alginate lyase activity in the presence of 4% alginate even though many known alginate-degrading bacteria degrade in the range of 0.5-1% alginate. The optimum culture conditions for the Y-4 strain were 2% alginate, pH 8.0, and 3% NaCl at $30^{\circ}C$. The highest alginate lyase activity was also observed under the same conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first reported isolation of a marine bacterium degrading high concentrations of alginate.

신령버섯은 항암작용과 더불어 면역강화작용 등 약용으로서 이용되고 있습니다. 최근에는 신령버섯 재배농가에서 새로운 병징 현상이 보고되어 내생세균에 대한 분자생물학적 방법으로 조사하였다. 병징을 나타내는 수집된 기형버섯을 eubacterial 16S rDNA 영역을 이용하여 PCR한 결과 기형버섯만 증폭되었다. 이 영역을 부분적으로 염기서열을 결정한 결과 CFB bacterium과 유사성이 가장 높았고, 이 염기서열을 이용하여 프라이머를 디자인한 후 nested PCR를 부위별로 확인한 결과 기형을 일으킨 갓의 주름살 부위에서 가장 강하게 증폭되었고 포자수확도 되지 않았으며 배양불능세균 group인 CFB bacterium임을 확인하였다.

호염성세균인 Kordia algicida gen. nov,, sp. nov.은 규조류인 Skeletonema costatum에 의한 적조발생동안 마산만의 표층수로부터 분리되었다. 본 균주는 숙성해수가 공급된 ZoBell 2216e 배지에서 성장이 가능하나 $3\%$ NaCl만이 공급된 동 배지에서는 성장하지 않았다. 13종의 주된 재수성분을 대상으로 한 염류 요구성 조사에서 $Na^+,\;Mg^{2+}$ 및 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온이 제한된 배지에서는 성장을 하지 않아, 성장을 위해 필수적으로 3조의 이온을 요구하였다. 3종의 이온을 대상으로 한 Kinetic 조사에서 $Na^+,\;Ca^{2+}$ 및 $Mg^{2+}$ 의 Km 간은 각각 0.202 M, 0.089 mM, and 0.189 mM로 결정되었으며 $V_{max}({\mu}max)$는 또한 0.442h, 0.411h 및 0.316h로 결정되었다. 현미경적 관찰에서 K. algicida는 각 이온들을 제한하였을 때 $2\~8$시간에 내에 빠른 사멸을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 Kordia algicida는 해양으로부터 유래된 전형적인 호염성세균임을 알 수 있었으며 해양유래 미생물의 분리 시 각별한 주의가 요구됨을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 단일반응조에서 포기/비포기 시간에 따른 하수 내 유기물질 및 질소화합물을 변화양상을 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험 결과 C/N비 3 : 1, 포기/비포기 20/40 min 구간에서부터 90% 이상의 안정적인 유기물 및 질소 제거가 이루어짐을 알 수 있었다. 포기/비포기 구간의 비율을 길게 유지하는 것이 탈질에 더욱 효과적이었으며 이는 비포기 구간을 유지하는 동안 반응조 내 미생물의 군집변화에 기인하는 것으로 판단하였다. PCR-DGGE를 한 결과, 유기물 및 질소화합물의 산화에 관여하는 미생물로 Dysgonomonas mossii strain Melo40, Eubacterium sp. oral clone JN088, Uncultured bacterium clone SPESB2_718과 Bacterium enrichment culture clone LE이 관찰되었고 탈질에 관여하는 미생물은 Uncultured Acidobacteria bacterium clone AKYG487, Lactobacillus harbinensis strain FQ003, Erythrobacter litoralis strain Gi-3, Phytobacter diazotrophicus strain Ls8, Mycobacterium sp. enrichment culture clone GE10037biofNNA로 나타났다.

A species of facultative photo-organotrophic, purple, non-sulfur bacterium was isolated from the 47 point at west and south coast of Korea in September 2001. Separated 13 samples of changes with red color under 28-32$^{\circ}C$, 3000 lux, anaerobe conditions for 7 days cultivated in basal medium. For pure isolation from 13 samples, we used agar-shake tube method (0.4 ％ agar) and separated 5 strains through 13-repetition test. EGH-24 and EGH-30 was identified as the same strain through the RAPD(Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA)-PCR of strain EGH-9, EGH-13, EGH-23, EGH-24, EGH-30. Four isolates cultivated in synthesis wastewater for wastewater biodegradation test. EGH-24 was selected with efficient wastwater treating strain. Based on the results obtained from morphology, nutrient requirements, major bacteriochlorophyll content, 16S-rDNA phylogenetic analysis, EGH-24 strain may be identified as a new strain of the genus Rhodobacter and named Rhodobacter sp. EGH-24.

The aerobic photosynthetic bacterium, which produces bacterial carotenoids was isolated and identified from coastal marine environments. This bacterium was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing and designated as Erythrobacter longus SY-46. E. longus SY-46 was Gram negative and rod shape, and the optimal culture conditions were $25^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0, and 3.0% NaCl concentration, respectively. The carbon and nitrogen sources required for the optimal growth were lactose and tryptone, respectively. Fatty acid compositions of E. longus SY-46 were $C_{18:1}$(78.32%), v-linolenic acid($C_{18:3n9.12.15c}:3.83%$), margaric acid($C_{17:0}$: 3.38%), palmitic acid($C_{16:0}$: 3.07%), and docosahexaenoic acid($C_{22:6n3}$: 2.21%). In addition, E. longus SY-46 showed the characteristic absorption peaks of bacterial carotenoids(in the region of 450 to 480 nm) and bacteriochlorophyll(770 to 772 nm). Major carotenoids of E. longus SY-46 were polyhydroxylated xanthophylls such as fucoxanthin and zeaxanthin.

Flounder culture has been developed mainly in the western parts of japan, and, to date, following six bacterial diseases have been reported. Bacterial white enteritis occurs in 16 to 30-day-old flounder larvae and often causes mass mortality in seed production. Bacterium named Vibrio sp. INFL invades and multiplies in the mucosae of posterier part of intestine, and causes desquamative enteritis. Gliding bacterial disease occurs mostly in juvenile stage and in spring to summer. Diseased signs are partial discoloration and erosion of skin and fins. Histologically, epidermis are removed, and the causative bacterium, Flexibacter maritimus, multiplies on the surface of demis and invades into the muscular tissue. Vibriosis caused by Vibrio anguillarum and related organisum is one of the well-known diseases among marine fish. Outbreaks of the disease in flounder culture are relatively few, but mass mortalities in fingerlings due to the disease were reported. An outbreak of nocardiosis in the autumn of 1984 has been reported, but since then the disease scarcely occurred. The disease is characterized by formation of abscesses under the skin and white nodes in the gill, heart, spleen and kidney. Streptococcicosis occurs frequently in recent years. Beta-hemolytic streptococcus is the causative bacterium, which possesses the same biochemical and serological characteristics as $\beta$-streptococci isolated from some marine and freshwater fish, and is seemed to related to Streptococcus iniae. Edwardsiellosis is the disease that causes most damage in flounder culture in Japan. Characteristic symptoms are swelling of abdomen and intestinal protrusion from the anus due to accumulation of ascites. Edwardsiella tarda, a well-known pathogen of freshwater fish, is the causative bacterium of the disease.
