One hundred and nine Agrobacterium isolates were recovered from 68 samples(51 plant tumor and 17 soil) that were collected from different habitats in Northern Jordan. The isolated cultures were grouped into 3 biovars based on their biochemical characteristics and biovar I, II, and III comprised a total number of 46, 41, and 22 isolates, respectively. Isolates of biovar I were obtained primarily from the diseased peach, oak and rose plants, whereas isolates of biovar II and ill were obtained mostly from apple and grape plants, respectively. Twenty-nine isolates were found to be virulent to at least one of the tested hosts such as carrots, chickpeas, garden peas and tomato plants with a response of tumor formation or tumor with roots induction. Our result suggested that A. tumefaciens strains from tumor of various plants and soil of Jordan were diverse and they have a variation in their virulence.

Optimum conditions for the production of acetoin and ammonia as the precursors of tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) were determined using Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis FC1 in a modified Lactose-citrate broth containing galactose, citrate, and arginine. The cell growth and the productivity of acetoin and ammonia were remarkably increased in an aerobic culture with 10 $\mu M$ of hematin. For the optimum conditions of acetoin and ammonia production, the concentration of citrate and arginine were adjusted to 156 mM and 50 mM after 18 hr cultivation, and citrate and galactose to 156 mM and 50 mM after 36 hr cultivation, respectively. In these conditions, acetoin and ammonia were produced to the final concentration of 127 mM and 195 mM, which were the highest concentations, respectively. The optimum conditions of the TMP production were also determined as follows; 4 hours at 121, pH 8.3, and the maximal yield of TMP under these conditions was 0.81 g/l.

To produce the tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) flavor compound, Lactococcuss lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis (L. diacetilactis) FC1 was cultivated in the TMP medium containing 3% (w/v) of Na-citrate and 6% (w/v) arginine-HC1 as substrates of acetoin and $NH_3$, respectively, which are the two precursors of the TMP. After 19-day fermentation at $34^{\circ}C$, 0.57 g/l or 4.19 mmole/l of the TMP was produced. This was the first result showing that the TMP could be produced by L. diacetilactis.

To investigate the optimum conditions for the production of ammonia as a precursor of tetramethylpyrazine flavor compound from arginine by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1, fermentation factors such as initial pH of culture media, fermentation temperature, concentration of arginine-HC1, and sugars were examined. The optimum conditions were initial pH 5.5 of the culture media, fermentation temperature of $34^{\circ}C$, 6% (w/v) of arginine-HC1, and 1% (w/v) of galactose as a carbon source. Under the optimum fermentation conditions, 40 mmole/l of ammonia was produced after 40 h.

Bacterial canker is a devastating disease of kiwifruit caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas syringe pv. actinidiae. Canker disease of kiwifruit in Korea has been controlled using streptomycin for more than two decades. Four streptomycin-resistant strains, belonging to biovar 2, which are found only in Korea, were collected between 2013 and 2014 from different orchards located in Jeju, Korea. The genetic background for streptomycin resistance among P. syringe pv. actinidiae strains were determined by examining the presence of strA-strB or aadA, which are genes frequently found in streptomycin-resistant bacteria, and a point mutation at codon 43 in the rpsL gene. All four streptomycin-resistant strains of P. syringe pv. actinidiae investigated in this study contained strA-strB as a resistant determinant. The presence of the aadA gene and a mutation in codon 43 of the rpsL gene was not identified.

Ralstonia solanacearum에 의해 발생하는 토마토 풋마름병에 대하여 저항성으로 알려진 토마토 순계 품종의 국내 병원균에 대한 저항성 반응을 온도별로 평가하였다. 한국에서 분리된 R. solanacearum 균주로 토마토 순계 6 품종의 저항성을 평가한 결과 기존에 저항성으로 알려진 토마토 순계들이 한국 분리균주에 대하여는 대부분 저항성을 유지하지 못하였다. 병원성이 강한 균주인 SL341 (race 1, biovar 4) 균주는 검정한 대부분의 품종에서 온도에 관계없이 강한 병원성을 보였다. 반면, 담배에서 분리된 균주인 SL1944(race 1, biovar 4)은 온도에 따라 발병진전이 현저하게 차이가 났다. Moneymaker와 Bonny Best와 같은 품종은 온도에 관계없이 SL1944에 대하여 감수성이었다. 그러나, 풋마름병 저항성 품종으로 알려진 Hawaii 7998, Hawaii 7996, B-blocking 품종은 오히려 상대적으로 고온인 조건($35^{\circ}C$에서 14시간 명조건과 $28^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 암조건)에서 급격히 발병하였다. 병 진전은 동일한 품종의 낮은 온도에서 병 진전이나 Moneymaker나 Bonny Best 같은 품종에서 동일한 고온 조건의 발병에 비해 눈에 띄게 빨랐다. 본 연구결과는 국내에서 분리된 균주들이 기존에 저항성 토마토 품종을 가해할 수 있으며 고온조건에서는 품종의 저항성 붕괴의 가능성으로 급격한 풋마름병이 유발될 수 있음을 제시한다.

2013년부터 2016년까지 P. syringae pv. actinidiae에 의한 궤양병에 감염된 것으로 확인된 과수원수는 202개였는데, Psa2가 73개 과수원에서 검출되었고 Psa3는 129개 과수원에서 검출되었다. 2015년에 비해 2016년 Psa2에 감염된 과수원은 거의 증가하지 않았지만 Psa3에 감염된 과수원은 두 배 가량 증가했다. 우리나라에서 재배하고 있는 키위 품종들 중에서 일부 토종다래를 제외한 모든 키위 품종들에서 Psa3가 검출되어 아직까지 Psa3에 저항성인 품종은 없다는 것이 확인되었다. 조사된 품종들 중에서 골드키위 품종인 Hort16A와 제시골드와 레드키위 품종인 홍양이 Psa3에 가장 감수성이었다. 경남지역에서 역학조사와 RAPD 분석 결과 2014년 홍양 과수원에서 최초 Psa3에 의한 궤양병은 중국에서 수입한 Psa3에 오염된 꽃가루에 의해 발생했고, 2016년 경남 사천과 고성 지역의 과수원들에서 궤양병의 대발생은 홍양 과수원으로부터 근처 제시골드와 헤이워드 과수원으로 2차감염에 의한 Psa3의 급속한 확산 때문으로 추정된다.

본 연구는 1997년 1월부터 1997년 11월까지 낙동강 기수지역인 다대포의 모래에서 서식하는 식용 쌍패각 조개인, 빛조개로부터 비브리오를 분리 동정한 것이다. 표현형을 중심으로 한 새와학적 성상으로 빛조개의 내장으로부터 Vibrio alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. vulnificus, V. salmonicida 및 V. tubiashii 등 8종의 비브리오가 동정되었다. 수온이 $15^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 성장이 불가능한 병원성 세균인 V.parahaemolyticus 가 동절기에 및조개로부터 분리됨으로서 빛조개가 자연계내에서 V.parahaemolyticus 의 월동 보균체중의 하나라는 결론을 얻게 되었다.

Although numerous clinical observational studies have been conducted over a period of over 30 years, the clinical significance of $Ureaplasma$ infection is still under debate. The $Ureaplasma$ speices. is a commensal in the female genital tract and considered to have of low virulence; however, $Ureaplasma$ colonization has been associated with infertility, stillbirth, preterm delivery, histologic chorioamnionitis, and neonatal morbidities, including congenital pneumonia, meningitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and perinatal death. Recently, $Ureaplasma$ was subdivided into 2 separate species and 14 serovars. $Ureaplasma$ $parvum$ is known as biovar 1 and contains serovars 1, 3, 6, and 14, and $Ureaplasma$ $urealyticum$ (biovar 2) contains the remaining serovars (2, 4, 5, and 7-13). The existence of differences in pathogenicities of these 14 serovars and 2 biovars is controversial. Although macrolides are the only antimicrobial agents currently available for use in neonatal ureaplasmal infections, in the current clinical field, it is difficult to make decisions regarding which antibiotics should be used. Future investigations involving large, multicenter, randomized, controlled studies are needed before proper recommendations can be made for clinical practice.

Bovine brucellosis has occurred for years in Gyeonggi province under the national test and slaughter scheme. The serum agglutination test (SAT) is a diagnostic tool to confirm the disease despite the argument on its specificity. We selected 8 farms where only one or two individuals were diagnosed as brucellosis through SAT at the primary regular herd check and isolated the causative organism and characterized the species by species-specific PCR. The pathogen isolation was successful in 6 farms out of 8 farms by microbiological culture, showing the successful rate of 75%. The isolation rate of the causative organism represents 70% from supra-mammary lymph node and 60% from uterine tissues. They were characterized as Brucella abortus biovar 1 after biotyping by PCR, showing the fragment of 498 bp. Five of 8 farms were diagnosed as brucellosis two to four times more over the intervals of two or three months. Here in this study we briefly showed the correlation of the sporadic outbreak of brucellosis tested by SAT and the isolation of the causative organism. Moreover one or two reactors against brucellosis among considerable size of herd may indicate that SAT failed to detect potentially infected individuals in the incubation stage or chronic phase of the disease.
