Complete genomic nucleotide sequence of Daphe virus S (DVS), a member of the genus Carlavirus, causing leaf distortion and chlorotic spot disease symptoms in daphne plants, has been determined in this study. The genome of DVS contained six open reading fames coding for long viral replicase, triple gene block, 36 kDa viral coat protein (CP) and 12 kDa from the 5' to 3' ends, which is a typical genome structure of carlaviruses. Two Korean isolates of DVS isolates were 98.1％ and 93.6％ amino acid identical in the CP and 12kDa, respectively. The CP gene of DVS shares 25.2-55.2％ and 42.9-56.1％ similarities with that of 19 other carlaviruses at the amino acid and nucleotide levels, respectively. The 3'-proximal 12 kDa gene of DVS shares 20.2-57.8％ amino acid identities with that of 18 other members of the genus. The 3' noncoding region of DVS consists of 73 nucleotides with long excluding poly A tract, and shares 69.1-77.1％ identities to the known carlaviruses. In the phylogenetic analyses of the two proteins, DVS was closely related to Helenium virus S and Chrysanthemum virus B. This is the first complete sequence information for the DVS, and further confirms the classification of DVS as a distinct species of the genus Carlavirus.

Let ${Y_i;-\infty<i<\infty}$ be a doubly infinite sequence of identically distributed and $\phi$-mixing random variables with zero means and finite variances and ${a_i;-\infty<i<\infty}$ an absolutely summable sequence of real numbers. In this paper, we prove the complete moment convergence of ${{\sum}_{k=1}^{n}\;{\sum}_{i=-\infty}^{\infty}\;a_{i+k}Y_i/n^{1/p};n\geq1}$ under some suitable conditions.

Lactococcus lactis is a fermentative lactic acid bacterium that is used extensively in food fermentations. The L. lactis strain K_LL005 was isolated from the grasshopper (Oxya chinensis sinuosa) gut in Korea. In this study, we reported the complete genome sequence of Lactococcus lactis K_LL005. The final complete genome assembly consist of one circular chromosome (2,375,093 bp) with an overall guanine + cytosine (G + C) content of 35.0%. Annotation results revealed 2,281 protein-coding sequences (CDSs), 19 rRNAs, and 68 tRNA genes. Lactococcus lactis K_LL005 has a gene encoding xylose metabolism such as xylR, xylA, and xylB (xylRAB).

Dracocephalum rupestre Hance is a perennial herb distributed across China, Mongolia, and Korea. This study reports the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of D. rupestre. The plastome is 151,230 bp long and exhibits a typical quadripartite structure comprising a large single-copy region of 82,536 bp, a small single-copy region of 17,408 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions of 25,643 bp each. It contains 130 genes, comprising 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of D. rupestre and related species of Lamiaceae showed that the genus Dracocephalum is a monophyletic group, and D. rupestre is most closely related to D. psammophilum.

Rhododendron caucasicum Pall. is a shrub distributed in the mountainous areas of the Caucasus from northeastern Türkiye towards the Caspian Sea. This study reports the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of R. caucasicum. The plastome is 199,487 base pairs (bp) long and exhibits a typical quadripartite structure comprising a large single-copy region of 107,645 bp, a small single-copy region of 2,598 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions of 44,622 bp each. It contains 143 genes, comprising 93 protein-coding genes, 42 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The large chloroplast genome size is likely due to the expansion of inverted repeats. A phylogenetic analysis of chloroplast genomes with other Rhododendron species supports previously recognized infrageneric relationship.

Lactobacillus amylovorus CACC736 was originated from swine feces in Korea. The complete genome sequences of the strain contained one circular chromosome (2,057,809 base pair [bp]) with 38.2% guanine-cytosine (GC) content and two circular plasmids, namely, pCACC736-1 and pCACC736-2. The predicted protein-coding genes, which are encoding the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated proteins, biosynthesis of bacteriocin (helveticin J), and the related proteins of the bile, acid tolerance. Notably, the genes related to vitamin B-group biosynthesis (riboflavin and cobalamin) were also found in L. amylovorus CACC736. Collectively, the complete genome sequence of the L. amylovorus CACC736 will aid in the development of functional probiotics in the animal industry.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a normal flora of human skin and is occasionally associated with pathogenic infections. We report the complete genome sequence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis strain Z0118SE0272 isolated from the residential environment sharing by a companion dog and dwellers. Resistance to cefoxitin was observed in the strain, whereas it was susceptible to erythromycin, clindamycin, quinupristin-dalfopristin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, mupirocin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, and tigecycline. The strain Z0118SE0272 identified as sequence type 130 possessed the mecA gene responsible for methicillin resistance, which composed the new type of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec elements lacking mecRI.

Staphylococcus aureus is a prominent multidrug-resistant pathogen known for its resistance to a variety of antibiotics. To combat this, a wide range of antibiotics, including quinolones, is utilized. While the efficacy of quinolones against S. aureus has been established, the rise in quinolone-resistant strains, particularly in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), has necessitated a shift in their usage patterns. Genomic sequencing plays a crucial role as it offers insights into the genetic mechanisms of resistance. Thus, we report the complete genome sequence of an oxolinic acid-resistant strain of S. aureus isolated from sweet potato leaves, a crop commonly cultivated in Korea.

KP elements derived from Korean populations (Seoul, Cheonan and Taegu) of Drosophila melunoguster were examined for their molecular structure. The entire 1.15 kb sequence of the three KP elements KC-137 (Cheonan), KS-95 (Seoul) and KT-99 (Taegu) have been obtained by PCR amplification using inverted repeat primers and DNA sequencing. The 1.15 kb fragments of KP elements were cloned into pCRmll vector plasmids, and subsequently sequenced. The sequence of the three KP elements in these populations suggested that there might have been derived from the complete P element by a 1753 bp internal deletion between positions 808 and 2560. Therefore these KP elements were confirmed to be identical to that isolated from M'10 strains widely distributed in most Eurasian populations of D. melanoguster. Sequence comparison with the 2.9 kb complete P element in pn25.1 revealed that KC-137 has only shown to be two base substitutions of A to G and G to A at positions 62 and 242, respectively. The retained sequence of the two KP elements KS-95 and KT-99 shows complete homology to the P factor in pn25.1. Based on this result, the two base substitutions in KC-137 might be due to Taq DNA pollunerase errors. Finally, it is suggested that the high copy numbers of KP elements provieds an explanation for the suppression of P-mediated hybrid dvssenesis in Korean population of D. melunogoster.

In order to obtain the genetic information of the Korean isolates of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), complete genomes of five isolates from Korean PCVD weaned pigs with wasting syndromes were sequenced and compared with those of other published PCV2 isolates. Of the five PCV2 isolates, four (1767 nucleotides) were classified into PCV2b, and one (1,768 nucleotides) was PCV2a. Moreover, it appeared that PCV2b is now the dominant genotype circulating in Korea herds. Total complete genomes of four PCV2b isolates shared $99.1{\sim}99.4%$ nucleotide sequence homology each other, and were only $95.4{\sim}96.2%$ similar to one PCV2a isolate. ORF2 genome of four PCV2b isolates shared over 99% nucleotide sequence and deduced amino acid sequence identity to each other. Nevertheless, those were much divergent with the PCV2a isolate of this study and ranged from $92.3{\sim}92.7%$ nucleotide homology and $91.9{\sim}92.3%$ deduced amino acid sequence homology, respectively. The amino acid sequence alignments of the putative capsid protein identified three major regions of amino acid heterogeneity at residues $59{\sim}91$, $121{\sim}136$ and $190{\sim}210$. Two of those correspond with dominant immunoreactive areas. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete genome of PCV2 isolates showed that four PCV2b isolates of this study existed the closest relationship with European strains (Netherland, UK and France). One PCV2a isolate was closely related to Japan and North America strains.
