To determine the characteristics of heterotrophic bacterial community in estuarine ecosystem, water and sediment samples were taden from Naktong estuary. All isolates were compared with 73 characters and described by cluster analysis. With same characters, 30 reference strains were able to divide into approximate species level at 80% similarity (S value). Diversity indices ($H^{1}$) of sediment column isolates were higher than water column isolates. The bacterial community commonly appeared in water and sediment column was reduced with going to downstream. Tolerance indices for temperature (Pt) and salinity (Ps) were also higher in sediment isolates than in water isolates. The bacterial community in sediment column is believed to be composed with diverse populations compared to water column and maintains its stability against various environmental changes with high physiological tolerances.

동토지대 거대 담수호에 서식하는 종속영양세균 군집의 생태학적 기능을 파악하기 위하여, 몽골 북부의 동토지대 경계에 위치한 스굴 호수에서, 전체 세균군집의 구조와 유기물질을 분해할 수 있는 미생물 군집의 구조를 수심별로 비교 분석하였다. 환경인자 분석결과, 수심 5~10 m 사이에서 thermocline과 chemocline이 관찰되었다. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)로 전체 세균군집의 구조를 수심별로 비교한 결과 0~5 m 사이에서 군집구조의 변화가 컸고, 10 m 이상에서는 Acidovorax facilis를 위주로 비교적 안정된 군집을 형성하였다. $10^{\circ}C$에서 고분자 유기물 분해 활성도(protease, cellulase, amylase, lipase)가 높은 균주들을 탐색하여 23개 균주를 선별하였다. 표층수로부터 Acidovorax defluvii와 Sphingobacterium faecium이 분리되었는데 cellulase 활성이 높았다. 수심2 m, 5 m 및 10 m 이상의 시료에서 분리된 세균군집은 각각, Flavobacterium succinicans, Mycoplana bullata, A. facilis가 우점하였다. F. succinicans는 높은 protease 활성을 보였고, 수심 5 m의 M. bullata는 protease와 cellulase 활성이 있었지만, 상대적으로 약한 활성을 보였다. 수심10 m의 A. facilis 균주들은 cellulase 또는 lipase를 서로 배타적으로 발현하였다. 온도별 성장속도를 분석한 결과 표층(0~5m) 세균들은 기회성 호냉성 세균이었고, 심층($\geq$10m)에서 분리된 균주들은 $10^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 성장률이 낮았다. 심층의 저온 빈영양 상태 때문에 심층 세균들간의 경쟁에서 빠른 저온 성장이 요구되지 않고, 상층의 경우 육상 또는 식물 플랑크톤으로부터 영양물질이 공급되므로 저온에서 빠른 성장 속도를 보이는 세균들이 상층에 주로 분포하는 것으로 해석되었다. 따라서 스굴 호수수층에서 관찰된 세균군집의 종 분포와 물질분해 작용의 성층화는, 한냉대 빈영양 담수 호수에서 분해자 군집들의 생태학적 기능이 0~10 m 수심의 표층에 집중됨을 시사하였다.

Immunoglobulin G was purified by 40% $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex, Sephadex G-150 column chromatographies from rabbit antiserum against V. vulnificus ATCC 27562 O antigen and used for immunological test for V. vulnificus isolates. The profiles of cell lysate total protein and outer membrane protein from the isolates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and densitometry. The overall profiles in all isolates were similar. Distict protein band was observed in comparison with V. parahaemolyticus. Western Blotting with rabbit Immunoglobulin G against cell lysates and OMP of V. vulnificus isolates showed a strong antigenic response to antigen 66, 60, 54, 48, 33 and 26 kDa which were common to all strains examined. The 26 kDa antigen showed V. vulnificus specific antigen in comparison with Vibrio parahaemolyticus. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed by using rat anti-V. vulnificus ATCC 27562 polyclonal antibodies as capture antibody, a purified rabbit IgG antibody as detector antibody, and goat anti-rabbit IgG-alkaline phosphatase conjugate as developer antibody. When four V. vulnificus isolates were tested, the reactivity showed from 50 to 70% by sandwich ELISA.

1995년 전국 8개도 37개점의 밭토양으로부터 분리한 52균주의 선충 포식성곰팡이를 이용하여 실내 및 온실에서 부식성선충과 뿌리혹선충을 이용하여 포식력을 비교하였다. 실내검정에서 부식성선충에 대하여 91% 이상의 포식력을 보인 균주는 51균주였고, 부리혹선충에 대하여는 26균주였으나, 온실 검정에서는 81%의 포식력을 보인 균주가 3균주로 온실검정과 실내 검정간 상관 유의성은 없었다. 선발된 3균주는 부식선충 및 뿌리혹선충에 대하여 실내 및 온실실험에서 모두 높은 포식력을 나타내었다. 이 실험으로 미루어 볼 때, 천적 포식성곰팡이 선발 시험은 반드시 포장 조건과 가장 유사한 상태에서 실시되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

We analyzed the paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins of the toxic marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense collected from Dadaepo and Gaduck-do in Busan and from Sujeong-ri in Jinhae Bay, Korea, in April 2003. We also analyzed the PSP toxin of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and oysters (Crassostrea gigas) collected around Busan and Jinhae Bay. PSP toxin analyses were conducted by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Fifteen cultured A. tamarense isolates contained 2.78 to 57.47 fmol/cell, with nearly identical toxin profiles: major components C2, GTX4; minor components C1, GTX1, NEO; and trace components GTX2, GTX3, STX. PSP toxin contents were 0 to $492\;\mu{g}$ STXeq/100 g in mussels and 0 to $48\;\mu{g}$ STXeq/100 g in oysters. Mussels at Gijang and Sujeong-ri contained the most PSP toxin contents ($492\;\mu{g}\;STXeq/100\;g\;and\;252\;\mu{g}\;STXeq/100\;g,\;respectively$), exceeding the quarantine level ($80\;\mu{g}$ STXeq/100 g). Their dominant toxin components were C2, C1, GTX2, and GTX3; the minor components GTX1, GTX4, GTX5, and NEO were sporadically detected. Phytoplankton contained 0.774 fmol/L seawater and 1.228 fmol/L seawater at Gijang and Sujeong-ri in April. At that time, Alexandrium cells were present in the water column at Gijang at 2,577 cells/mL and at Sujeong-ri at 6,750 cells/mL. Overall, we found the high and similar PSP toxin contents in AZexandrium isolates and mussels, and a correlation between occurrence of toxic Alexandrium cells in the water column and mussel intoxification. High densities of toxic Alexandrium cells in the water column immediately preceded shellfish intoxification at Gijang and Sujeong-ri in April.

In the screening of actinomycetes culture filtrate for inhibitor of adenosine deaminase, a novel inhibitor was found in a cultured broth of strain J-144K. The optimum conditions for the adenosine deaminase inhibitor production from the isolated strain J-144K were evaluated. This strain showed the maximum yield of adenosine deaminase inhibitor when grown at pH 7.0 and 30$\circ$C for 60 hours in the medium of 1.0% dextrose, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.5% peptone and 0.1% KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ under the aerobic condition. Through the activated charcoal extraction, methanol fractionation, Dowex 50 H$^{+}$ X-8 ion exchange column chromatography, Dowex CI$^{-}$ X-8 ion exchange column chromatography, and Sephadex G-15 gel filtration procedures, this inhibitor was purified with three materials.

In this study, we isolated two novel chitinase producing bacterial strains from yellow loess samples collected from Jullanamdo province. The chitinase producing bacteria were isolated based on the zone size of clearance in the chitin agar plates. Both of them were gram positive, rod ($2{\sim}3{\times}0.3{\sim}0.4{\mu}m$), spore-forming, and motility positive. They were facultative anaerobic, catalase positive and hydrolyzed starch, gelatin, and casein. From the 16s rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolates were labeled as Bacillus licheniformis KYLS-CU01 and B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02. The isolates showed higher extracellular chitinase activities than B. licheniformis ATCC 14580 as a control. The optimum temperature and pH for chitinase production were $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the culture medium for efficient production of the chitinase. Under this optimal condition, 1.5 times higher chitinase activity of B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02 was obtained. Extracellular chitinases of the two isolates were purified through ammonium sulfate precipitation and anion-exchange DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The specific activities of purified chitinase from B. licheniformis KYLS-CU01 and B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02 were 7.65 and 5.21 U/mg protein, respectively. The molecular weights of the two purified chitinases were 59 kDa. Further, the purified chitinase of B. licheniformis KYLS-CU01 showed high antifungal activity against Fusarium sp.. In conclusion, these two bacterial isolates can be used as a biopesticide to control pathogenic fungi.

Twenty-nine culture strains belonging to the genus Alexandrium Halim (Dinophyceae) were established from water column or sediments in Korea. Seventeen isolates were identified as A. tamarense (Lebour) Balech, eight isolates as A. sp. cf. catenella and one as A. catenella (Whedon et Kofoid) Balech according to the presence or absence of a ventral pore, the shape of the posterior sulcal plate and the sulcal width. Three isolates were unable to be identified due to considerable distortion of thecal plates and lack of enough materials, but typical of A. tamarense and/or A. catenella. The overall cell shape of A. tamarense was usually longer than wide. The posterior sulcal plate was definitely longer than wide dorsoventrally, and sulcus extended posteriorly without apparent widening. They were distributed in three major coasts of Korea. In contrast, the cell shape of A. sp.cf. catenella was generally anterior-posteriorly flattened. The transversal axis of the posterior sulcal plate was always longer than the longitudinal, or both axes were nearly equal in length. Its sulcus was broader than that of A. tamarense and widened in the direction of antapex about 1.5 times. This morphotype existed in nearshore and offshore waters of the southern Korea sea. One of A. catenella isolates from Jinhae Bay showed no conspicuous differences with A. sp. cf. catenella except for the consistent absence of a ventral pore.

To search for the antifungal substances, various actino-mycete isolates were obtained from various soils of Korea using plate dilution method on the humic acid vitamin agar plates. In the screening procedures using a dual culture method, 32 actionomycete isolates were selected, which showed the inhibitory activity against mycelial growth of plant pathogenic fungi Altirnaria mali, Colletotrichum gloeosporides, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cucumerinum, Magnaporthe grisea, Phytophthora capsici, and Rhizoctonia solani. Bioassay of the crude extracts from culture filtrates and mycelial mets revealed that 12 antagonistic actionomycetes produced highly active antifungal substances. Actinomycete strain S5-55 which showed the substantial antifungal activity against the tested fungi was selected for production of the antifungal substances. Based on the cytochemical and morphological characteristics, strain S5-55 was identified as a Streptomyces species. The results of the numerical identification using the TAXON program confirmed that Streptomyces strain S5-55 was identical with Streptomyces humidus including in TAXON major cluster 19. The production of antifungal substance was most favorable when S. humidus strain S5-55 was cultivated for 10 dats on soluble starch broth supplemented with $K_2$HPO$_4$. The antifungal substances active against the plant pathogenic fungi P. capsici and M. grisea were partially purified using $\textrm{C}_{18}$ reversed-phase column chromatography.

Lactic acid and its derivatives are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is also a major raw material for the production of poly-lactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and environmentally friendly polymer and a possible alternative to synthetic plastics derived from petroleum. For PLA production by new strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), we screened LAB isolates from shellfish. A total of 51 LAB were isolated from 7 types of shellfishes. Lactic acid production of individual isolates was examined using high-performance liquid chromatography using a Chiralpak MA column and an ultraviolet detector. Lactobacillus plantarum T-3 was selected as the most stress-resistant strain, with minimal inhibition concentrations of 1.2 M NaCl, 15% ethanol, and 0.0020% hydrogen peroxide. In a 1 L fermentation experiment, $\small{D}$-lactic acid production of 19.91 g/L fermentation broth was achieved after 9 h cultivation, whereas the maximum production of total lactic acid was 41.37 g/L at 24 h.
