  • The scuticocilliate, Uronema marinum is a histophagous ciliate and the causative agent of 'scuticociliatosis'in cultured olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. In the present study, in vitro efficacy of hydrogen peroxide, formalin and copper sulfate on the scuticocilliate at low salinity was investigated. Each chemical showed synergistic parasiticidal effects with low salinity (salinity in 5 ppt) compared to each chemical alone (salinity in 33 ppt). At low salinity (5‰), ciliates were killed completely within 1.5h by exposure to 50ppm formalin (37% formaldehyde), at 100ppm hydrogen peroxide (30% solution) and at 100ppm copper sulfate (20% solution). The formalin was the most effective chemical against the parasites at low salinity.

  • Three ciliate species, Frontonia schaefferi Bullington, 1939, Spathidium curiosum Foissner, 2016, and S. muscicola Kahl, 1930, were collected from freshwater and terrestrial habitats in Korea. Their morphology was investigated based on live observations and protargol impregnation. Frontonia schaefferi was characterized by a cell size of $89-112{\times}45-53{\mu}m$ (after protargol impregnation) and three vestibular kineties. Spathidium curiosum was characterized by a cell size of ca. $125{\times}25{\mu}m$ in vivo and the unusual shape of the extrusomes. Spathidium muscicola was characterized by a cell size of ca. $135{\times}40{\mu}m$ in vivo and four to six macronuclear nodules. These three species are new records for Korea.

  • Eight samples, collected from six moss-covered soil and two freshwater samples, were examined to determine ciliate diversity in Korea. Based on the morphology of living and stained specimens, thirteen ciliate species, previously unrecorded in Korea, were identified. These specimens were classified to four classes, seven orders, ten families, and twelve genera. Of these genera, the following six were first records in Korea: Bresslauides, Dexiotricha, Glaucoma, Paragastrostyla, Sathrophilus, and Trithigmostoma. Here, we provide a brief description of the morphology of these 13 taxa along with microphotographs and notes.

  • The present study was performed to elucidate the distribution of protozoans according to the actual conditions of soil pollution around Ulsan industrial complexes, Korea. Samples were collected from the top-soils of 13 localities in eight times during the period from 16 April 1994 to 14 January 1995. As a result of this study, total 11 species of hypotrichous ciliated protozoa were identified and analyzed. These hypotrichs are 6 species of stichotrichine hyporichs ( Keronopsis sp., Pseudourostyla sp., Hoiriiticha syivatica, Hipiosticha multistylata, Hoios-ticha sp. and ParuroleFitus sp.) and 5 species of sporadotrichine hypotrichs (Oxyricha sp., Steinla sp., Histriculus cavicola, Hemisincirra sp. and Gonostomum auiili). Of these 11 species, 4 species (Keronopsis sp., Pseudourostyla sp., Holosticha sp. and Hemisincirra sp.) are reriorted for 1%e first time from Korea. All the sampling localities could be grouped in three zones by the cluster analysis with the abundance and distribution of protozoans. This result is approximately coincide with the ionation by the concentration of heavy metals.

  • Pathological conditions of Pacific oysters were surveyed in some coastal areas of Korea. Samples of 30 to 45 oysters were collected in Kamakman, Masan and in Gosung Bay. Protozoan includes gregarine-like organism, Marteilioides chungmuensis, Haplosporidium; ciliates Ancitrocoma and Metazoa (termatode, nematode, copepod) were observed in samples from most of the sampling areas. Marteilioides chungmuensis was found in all sampling sites. Protozoan, Halosporidium sp. and Ancistrocoma sp. occurred in oysters from Gosung Bay (year 2000) with very low prevalence. Trematode Gymnophalloides was frequently found in oysters from all studied areas. Inflammation was frequently observed in oysters infected with M. chungmuensis and Pseudomyicola. The damaged structures were found in digestive tubes of oysters infected by Halosporidium sp. and Pseudomyicola sp. Some of the parasites and pathological status could associate with the conditions of oysters and the environment.

  • Effect of iron on the extracellular proteolytic activity of live Uronema marium was determined by fluorescence polarization (FP) method. Supplementation of 0.5 and 5.0 μM iron significantly increased caseinolytic activity of live U. marinum. In contrast, supplementation of 50 μM iron showed no significant differences in FP values compared to the control. The present result suggests that iron in cultured water or skin tissue of olive flounder may influence on the penetration and establishment of U. marinum, correlating with modulation of extracellular protease activity of the ciliates.

  • Members of the ciliate group of protozoans are often observed in mass cultures of rotifers. In particular, Euplotes and Vorticella are common contaminating species. In this study, I examined the effect of the ciliates Euplotes sp. and Vorticella sp. on the growth of the rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis by conducting inter-specific and tripartite-specific mixed-culture experiments. The growth of rotifers was suppressed in co-existence with Euplotes sp. compared with monocultures of rotifers. However, Vorticella sp. promoted rotifer growth. Moreover, Vorticella sp. improved the growth of rotifers suppressed by Euplotes sp. contaminants. In 5-L semi-mass cultures of rotifers, growth of the contaminating protozoan Euplotes sp. was heavily suppressed by Vorticella sp. The stable maintenance of the rotifer culture ecosystem can be achieved by manipulating the types of contaminating protozoan species.

  • DNA barcoding of two marine tintinnids, Eutintinnus rectus and Schmidingerella arcuata, was performed using four samples collected from different sites in the north-eastern coast of South Korea. The loricae morphology was observed by light and scanning electron microscopy. Molecular data were analyzed using five nuclear ribosomal DNA markers(18S, ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2, and 28S genes) and one mitochondrial marker (CO1 gene). The intraspecific pairwise differences of E. rectus and S. arcuata in the CO1 gene were 0.0-0.2% and 0.0-0.6%, respectively, while there were no differences in the 18S rDNA sequences.
