Four strains of Phellinus spp. was identified based on internal transcribed spacer(ITS) region of rDNA sequence analysis and morphological characteristics. Basidiocarps of all strains were effused-reflexed and hymenial surface was poroid. Hyphal system was dimitic and basidiospore was globose to ellipsoid. The amplification of ITS regions produced a DNA fragment of 500 to 780 by in all strains examined. The determined sequences were analyzed for the reconstruction of phylogenetic tree. From these results, Phellinus sp. KM-1, KM-2, and KM-4 was identified as P. hartigii, P. baumii, and P. linteus, respectively.

This study was focused on the characterization of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for molecular genetically approach of energy Production related mechanism in Panax Ein.fend. The simple and efficient method of mtDNA isolation from ginseng has been developed by modification of recently advanced methods. This procedure can successfully apply to mtDNA isolation of several plants. MtDNA of etiolated shoot and one-year root were digested with restriction endonucleases, but that of 6-year root not Any difference was not observed in the restriction endonuclease digestion patterns among the ginseng variants. Molecular size of ginseng mtDNA was estimated at least 159 kb by the restriction endonuclease fragment analysis. The 4.5 kb extra band at the lane of EcoRll treatment could be observed in restriction patterns digested with the methylation sensitive endonucleases, BstN 1 and EcoRll. For construction of mitochondrial genomic library of ginseng, mtDNA was partially digested with EcoRl, and packaged with EMBL4 phage vector Genomic library was screened and purified for further research including restricttion mapping of ginseng mtDNA, and cloning of the genes. The gene of ATP synthase A subunit was cloned koto the purified EMBL4 library clone No. 16. Now, clone No. 16 is subcloned for structure gene sequence analysis.

DNA-based molecular markers for differentiation of five penaeid shrimps (Penaeus monodon, P. semisulcatus, Feneropenaeus merguiensis, Litopenaeus vannamei and Marsupenaeus japonicus) were developed based on polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) of 16S ribosomal (r) DNA. Differentiation of P. monodon, P. semisulcatus and L. vannamei can be unambiguously carried out by PCR-RFLP of 16S $rDNA_{560}$ whereas P. semisulcatus and M. japonicus shared a BABB mitotype. These shrimps were successfully discriminated by SSCP analysis of 16S $rDNA_{560}$. Nevertheless, the amplification success for L. vannamei and F. merguiensis was not consistent when tested against larger sample sizes. As a result, 16S $rDNA_{560}$ of an individual representing the most common mitotype of each species was cloned and sequenced. The new primer pair was designed and tested against the large sample sizes (312 bp product, N = 185). The amplification success was consistent across all species. PCR-RFLP of 16S $rDNA_{312}$ was as effective as that of 16S $rDNA_{560}$. Differentiation of all shrimp species were successfully carried out by SSCP analysis.

한국재래염소는 흑모색의 특징을 나타내며, 유일한 염소 품종으로서 오랫동안 한반도에서 사육되어 왔다. 하지만 이들에 대한 유전적 다양성, 계통유전학적 분석 등을 통한 기원 추정 등에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서 한국재래염소 5개 집단, 60두를 대상으로 mtDNA D-loop 영역 중 HVI 영역의 서열을 이용하여 유전적 다양성 및 계통유전학적 분석을 실시하였다. 한국재래염소는 다른 나라 염소들에 비해서 haplotype 다양성 지수가 낮게 나타났다. 또한 본 연구에서 분류된 한국재래염소 10개 haplotype 중 현재까지 보고되지 않은 6개의 새로운 haplotype이 확인되었다. 계통유전학적 분석 결과, 분석에 사용된 모든 한국재래염소는 mtDNA 모계혈통 A에 속하였다. 10개의 haplotype 중 8개는 베트남, 일부 중국 염소와 함께 subgroup을 형성하였다. 그러나 나머지 2개 haplotype은 각각 서로 독립적인 계통유전학적 위치를 보였다. 이런 결과들을 토대로 한국재래염소는 상대적으로 높은 근친상황으로 외부 유전자 유입이 적었을 것이라고 추정된다. 한국재래염소의 새로운 mtDNA haplotype의 발견 및 유전자원 보존 및 평가를 위해서 더 많은 분석집단 및 개체를 수집하고, MS 마커를 이용한 추가분석이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Lipase diversity in glacier soil was assessed by culture-independent metagenomic DNA fragment screening and confirmed by cell culture experiments. A set of degenerate PCR primers specific for lipases of the hormone-sensitive lipase family was designed based on conserved motifs and used to directly PCR amplify metagenomic DNA from glacier soil. These products were used to construct a lipase fragment clone library. Among the 300 clones sequenced for the analysis, 201 clones encoding partiallipases shared 51-82% identity to known lipases in GenBank. Based on a phylogenetic analysis, five divergent clusters were established, one of which may represent a previously unidentified lipase subfamily. In the culture study, 11 lipase-producing bacteria were selectively isolated and characterized by 16S rDNA sequences. Using the above-mentioned degenerate primers, seven lipase gene fragments were cloned, but not all of them could be accounted for by the clones in the library. Two full-length lipase genes obtained by TAIL-PCR were expressed in Pichia pastoris and characterized. Both were authentic lipases with optimum temperatures of ${\le}40^{\circ}C$. Our study indicates the abundant lipase diversity in glacier soil as well as the feasibility of sequence-based screening in discovering new lipase genes from complex environmental samples.

폐기물매립장의 안정화에는 미생물이 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 폐기물매립장에서 미생물군집 변화 모니터링에 말단 제한절편다형성(Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism; T-RFLP)법의 활용 가능성을 평가하고자 박테리아의 16S rDNA 서열에 기초한 T-RFLP법으로 4개의 폐기물매립장 내부에서 채취한 침출수의 미생물군집 구조를 조사하였다. T-RFLP법을 사용하여 해석한 침출수 내 우점 미생물군집 구조와 일반적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 16S rDNA 클론 해석법에 의한 우점 미생물군집구조는 유사하였다. 또한, T-RFLP법을 이용하여 폐기물매립장의 구조, 매립 폐기물 종류, 운영기간이 다른 폐기물매립장 침출수의 우점 미생물군집 구조가 서로 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 T-RFLP법을 사용하여 폐기물매립장 침출수내 미생물군집 구조를 장기적으로 모니터링 한다면 많은 비용과 시간이 소요되는 클론해석법의 반복적인 수행 없이도 비교적 간단하게 폐기물매립장의 안정화 정도를 평가할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) promote the development of brain and vision of the fetus, relieve inflammation, inhibit oral dysplasia of rumor cell, decrease the incidence of cardiovascular disease and regulate arrhythmia. ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase is the rate-limited enzyme in the desaturation process. This study reports the cloning, characterization and tissue expression of a ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase gene in the chicken. PCR primers were designed based on the predicted sequence of chicken ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase (accession number: XM421053) and used to isolate a cDNA fragment of 1,323 bp from chicken liver. Based on the 1,323 bp fragment an EST (BI390105) was obtained by BLAST. The EST and 5'nd of the 1,323 bp fragment were partially overlapped. Gene specific primers derived from the EST were used for amplification of the 5'nd. Another gene-specific primer derived from the 1,323 bp fragment was used for amplification of the 3'nd by 3'ACE. Then the three overlapping cDNA sequences obtained were assembled with DNAMAN software and a full-length ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase of 2,153 bp was obtained. The full-length cDNA contained an ORF of 1,335 bp with a 5'ntranslated region of 147 nucleotides followed by an ATG initiation codon. Stop codon TGA was at position 1,481-1,483 bp. The deduced amino acids shared an homology above 77% with bovine, mice, orangutan, rat and human. The protein sequence had three histidine-rich regions HDFGH (HisI region), HFQHH (HisII region) and HH (HisIII region), a cytochrome $b_{5}$-like domain containing a heme-binding motif and two transmembrane domains. Sequence analysis of the chicken genomic DNA revealed that the coding sequence of chicken ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase included 12 exons and 11 introns. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR showed that the ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase expression levels were in turn liver, spleen, pancreas, lung, breast muscle, heart, and abdominal fat. The expression of ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase in liver was significantly higher than that in breast muscle (p<0.01). The expression of ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase in lung was significantly higher than that in abdominal fat (p<0.01). This is the first clone of chicken ${\Delta}-6$ desaturase.

An approach for genome analysis based on assembly of fragments of DNA from the whole genome can be applied to obtain the complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of Zymomonas mobilis. However, the problem of fragment assembly raise thorny computational issues. Computer simulation studies of sequence assembly usually show some abnormal assemblage of artificial sequences containing repetitive or duplicated regions, and suggest methods to correct those abnormalities. In this paper, we describe five simulation studies which had been performed previous to the actual genome assembly process of Zymomonas mobilis ZM4.
