Water extracts, ethanol extracts, and juice of Cusuta japonica, C, australis, and C. chinensis were prepared, and their cytotoxicity, antioxidant activity and inhibitory effects on tyrosinase activitiy and melanin biosynthesis were estimated by using melanoma Clone M-3. From this study; the following conclusions were attained. Extracts of Cuscuta japonica, C. australis, and C. chinensis showed noticeable cytotoxicity except ethanol extracts from the stem of C. australis. A maximual cytotoxicity was observed with tile ethanol extract from the seed of C, australis (87.39%). While the ethanol extract from the seed of C. japonica (91.88%) showed the most pronounced inhibitory effect on melanin biosynthesis, the water extract from the stem of C. japonica (1.05%) possessed very little inhibitory effect. The most inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity was observed with the water extract from the stem of C. australis (76.67%). Howeverr the water extract from the stem of C. japonica showed a very poor effect on the inhibition of tyrosinase activity All the preparations, except extracts from the seed of C. australis were able to remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a dose-dependent manner. The juice of C. japonica demonstrated the strongest activity (59.02%).

According to the traditional chinese herbal Cuscuta japonica Choisy and C. australis R.Be (original plant of Semen Cuscutae in Korea) have been used to cure pimple. In order to prove their bacteriostatic effects against Propionibacterium acnes, we performed the micro broth dilution method. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of C. japonica juice was 27.3 mg/ml, but C. australis juice showed no effect. The MIC of water extracted C. japonica seed and Wontosa and Bupjetosa were $960\;{\mu}g/ml$. The MIC of both water and ethanol extracts of C. australis seed was $9240\;{\mu}g/ml$. But ethanol extracts of C. japonicaseeds, Wontosa and Bupjetosa had no bacteriostatic activity. We also performed the disk diffusion test, C. japonica juice had prominent effect. Water extracts of C. japonica seed, Wontosa and Bupjetosa showed bacterio-static effect in 10 mg/ml, and C. australis seed in 10 mg/ml. The ethanol extract of C. japonica seed, Wontosa and Bupjetosa, and C. australis seed showed bacteriostatic effect in 20 mg/ml.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate mushroom Tyrosinase inhibitory activity of Cuscuta japonica Choisy and C. australis R.Be. The experimental materials were expressed juice from their stems and flowers, both water and ethanol extracts, their seeds, and two kinds of commercially available cosmetic packing Wontosa and Bupjetosa (made from seeds of C. japonica). The 50% inhibitory concentration $(IC_{50})$ of C. Japonica juice was 5.4 mg/ml. However, C. australis juice showed negligible mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity. The $IC_{50}$ of water extracted C. japonica seed was $54.0\;{\mu}g/ml$, water extracted product of Wontosa $50.0\;{\mu}g/ml$ and Bupjetosa $40\;{\mu}g/ml$. The $IC_{50}$ of ethanol extracted C. japonica seed was $10\;{\mu}g/ml$, Wontosa $10\;{\mu}g/ml$ and Bupjetosa $20\;{\mu}g/ml$.

A total of ten specimens of darkblotched rockfish, Sebastes crameri obtain-ed from Newport fish market were examined for parasites during February, 2002. Eight out of ten S. crameri were found to be infected with metazoan parasites. They were flatworm Trochopus australis, nematoda Anisakis simplex, and copepods Neobrachiella robusta and Chondracanthus triventricosus. Nine (30.0%) T. australis, seven (30.0%) N. robusta, one (10.0％) C. triventricosus and seven (60.0%) A. simplex were infected. Among them, A. simplex was the most abundant and prevalent metazoan parasites in S. crameri. T. australis and N. robsta were found in gills with moderate intensity (1.7 and 1.9, respectively), and C. triventricosus in dorsal fin with low intensity (0.3).

수생식물의 수처리 기능을 고려한 습지관리에 대한 정보를 제공하기 위하여 시화호 인공습지에서 유입수의 수질특성이 다른 2개의 습지(동화천과 반월천 습지)를 대상으로 갈대와 애기부들의 생장특성, 유기물 생산량과 분해속도를 조사하였으며, 또한 유기물생산량과 분해량을 토대로 습지내로의 유기물 부하량을 추정하였다. 갈대와 애기부들의 길이생장은 기온이 상승하는 3월에 증가하여 7~8월에 최고치(갈대 340cm, 부들 320cm) 를 보였다. 경엽부의 밀도는 갈대가 100~170 개체/$m^2$의 범위로 애기부들의 밀도(최대 78 개체/$m^2$)보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 갈대의 경엽부 최대 현존량은 $1,350{\sim}1,980gDM/m^2$의 범위로 반월천고습지에서 가장 컸고, 저습지에 비해 고습지에서 큰 것으로 나타났다. 한편 애기부들의 현존량은 $1,940gDM/m^2$로서 반월천고습지 갈대의 최대 현존량과 비슷한 값을 보였다. 갈대의 유기물생산력은 반월천고 습지 $2,050gDM/m^2/yr$ > 동화천저습지 $1,840gDM/m^2/yr$ > 반월천저습지 $1,570gDM/m^2/yr$ ${\fallingdotseq}$ 동화천고습지 $1,540gDM/m^2/yr$의 순으로 나타났으며, 애기부들은 $2,210gDM/m^2/yr$로서 갈대보다 생산력이 높게 나타났다. 시화호 인공습지 갈대와 애기부들의 연간 총 유기물 생산량은 845 ton DM/yr (423 ton C/yr)이었으며, 이중 갈대에 의한 생산량이 90%를 차지했다. 수생식물의 낙엽분해 속도(k)는 갈대와 애기부들 모두 잎이 줄기보다 빠른 것으로 나타났다(갈대: 잎 0.0062/day, 줄기 0.0018/day; 애기부들: 잎0.0031/day, 줄기 0.0018/day). 그리고 줄기 낙엽의 분해속도는 갈대와 애기부들이 같은 반면 잎의 분해속도는 갈대가 애기부들보다 약 2배 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 수생식물의 연간 총 낙엽 분해량(285 ton C/yr, 연간 총 유기물생산량의 67.3%)으로부터, 수생식물의 의해 생산된 유기물의 32.7%는 습지내에 퇴적되는 것으로 추정되었다.

Elsinoe fawcettii and E. australis are two currently recognized scab pathogens of citrus. E. fawcettii has at least six pathotypes while E. australis has at least two pathotypes. Colonies of E. fawcettii and E. australis do not sporulate in artificial media including potato dextrose agar (PDA). Whiteside's method has been widely used for preparing conidial inoculum in vitro. This study was carried out to develop efficient method for conidia production from artificial media. We developed a shaking method which included the following steps: 1) Colony grown on PDA was mashed with a steel spatula; 2) Mycelia fragments were cultured in 50 ml sterilized rain water in a rotary shaker-incubator (180 rpm) at $25^{\circ}C$ for 24 h: 3) The conidia suspension was filtered through two layers of cheesecloth. Average conidia production of all isolates tested using this shaking method was approximately 13.1 times higher than that from Whiteside's method in this study.

A new natural product, 3,4,8-trihydroxybenzopyranopyran-6,9-dione was isolated from the aqueous ethanolic gall extract of Tamarix aphylla (Tamaricaceae) along with the known phenolics, monodecarboxyellagic acid and brevifolin carboxylic acid as well. The structures have been established by ESI-MS, $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectral analysis. Antiinflammatory, antipyretic and ulcerogenic activities determination for both plant (Tamarix aphylla and Phragmites australis) were carried out on aq. ethanolic of extracts.

Three ciliate species, Australocirrus australis (Foissner, 1995) Kumar and Foissner, 2015, Rimaleptus longitrichus ($Vd^{\prime}a{\check{c}}n{\acute{y}}$ and Foissner, 2008) $Vd^{\prime}a{\check{c}}n{\acute{y}}$ and Foissner, 2012, and Frontonia subtropica Pan et al., 2013, that were previously unreported in Korea were collected from terrestrial and marine habitats in Korea. Using live observation and protargol impregnation, the three species were identified using a combination of the following characteristics: Australocirrus australis, the distance between the anterior pretransverse cirrus and the anteriormost transverse cirrus (0.6-2.1% of body length) and the arrangement of the transverse cirri (oblique row); Rimaleptus longitrichus, the arrange of contractile vacuoles and longitudinal ciliary rows anteriorly spaced; Frontonia subtropica, number of somatic kineties (approximately 115 rows) and vestibular kineties (5 rows).

전세계적으로 해양녹조 대발생(green tide)은 해양생태계에 큰 위협이 되고 있으며 주로 갈파래과의 Ulva 속 식물이 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 구멍갈파래(Ulva australis, ULAUS) 사멸에 미치는 여러 물리화학적 요인들의 영향 정도를 조사하여 향후 갈파래 대발생 경감기술 확립을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 제반 실험을 수행하였다. 순수에 8시간 침지는 아무런 영향을 받지 않았으나 염도 1.0-1.5% 수준에서 7일간의 저염화 처리는 ULAUS 포자 유출을 약 70% 경감시키는 효과가 있었다. 건조처리에 의해 초기 생체중의 40-50% 이상이 감소되면 심각한 생육 장해가 일어났다. 온도처리의 경우, ULAUS는 $30^{\circ}C$ 이상부터 생육에 심각한 영향을 받았으며 $35^{\circ}C$처리에서는 배양개시 1일만에 95% 이상 고사되었고, $40^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$ 처리에서 엽절편이 90-95% 고사되는데 소요되는 처리시간은 각각 10분, 30초, 1초 이었다. pH 6 이하의 조건은 ULAUS 생육을 현저히 억제하였으며 pH 4에서는 신속히 사멸되었다. 한편 ULAUS 생육을 저해하는 10여종의 화학물질을 선발하였고 이들 중 구멍갈파래를 보다 신속히 사멸시킬 수 있는 화합물은 과산화수소를 비롯한 산화제들이었다. 이들의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 갈파래 대발생제어에 저염화, 건조, 온도 및 화합물 처리 등이 실용화 기술개발에 동원될 수 있을 것 같았고, 이중에서 온도와 화합물 요인을 적절히 활용할 경우 보다 유용한 갈파래 발생제어 효과를 거둘 수 있을 것으로 전망되었다.
