While searching for the bacteria which are responsible for degradation of pesticide in soybean field soil, a novel bacterial strain, designated 5-5^T, was isolated. The cells of the strain were Gram-staining-positive, aerobic and non-motile rods. Growth occurred at 10-42℃ (optimum, 30℃), pH 5.5-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-7.5), and 0-2% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1%). The predominant fatty acids were C_15:0 anteiso, C_17:0 anteiso, and summed feature 8 (C_18:1 ω7c and/or C_18:1 ω6c). The predominant menaquinone was MK-9 (H₂). Diphosphatidylglycerol, glycolipids, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 5-5^T is a member of the genus Sinomonas and its closest relative is Sinomonas humi MUSC 117^T, sharing a genetic similarity of 98.4%. The draft genome of strain 5-5^T was 4,727,205 bp long with an N50 contig of 4,464,284 bp. Genomic DNA G+C content of strain 5-5^T was68.0 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain 5-5^T and its closest strains S. humi MUSC 117^T and S. susongensis A31^T were 87.0, and 84.3 % respectively. In silico DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain 5-5^T and its closest strains S. humi MUSC 117^T and S. susongensis A31^T were 32.5% and 27.9% respectively. Based on the ANI and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization analyses, the 5-5^T strain was considered as novel species belonging to the genus Sinomonas. On the basis of the results from phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, strain 5-5^T represents a novel speciesof the genus Sinomonas, for which the name Sinomonas terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5-5^T (=KCTC 49650^T =NBRC 115790^T).

본 연구에서는 DNA 바코드, 즉 엽록체 DNA의 rbcL, matK와 핵 리보솜 DNA의 ITS 염기서열을 이용하여 한국산 도둑놈의갈고리족 식물들의 종 식별을 실시하였다. 총 5개속 25분류군(총 75개체)의 식물에 대한 염기서열이 밝혀졌고, DNA 바코드 구간 조합에 따라 neighbor-joining 계통수들이 작성되었다. 그 결과, 종 식별률은 DNA 바코드 3개의 구간을 모두 사용하였을 때 가장 높게 나타났다(72%). rbcL+matK+ITS 계통수에서 본 족의 두 개의 아족과 다섯 속들은 단계통군으로 유집되었다. 도둑놈의갈고리아족군에서 도둑놈의 갈고리속과 갈고리속이 된장풀속보다 더 가깝게 묶였다. 갈고리속군에서 큰도둑놈의갈고리는 개도둑놈의갈고리 복합체의 자매군으로 형성되었고, 개도둑놈의갈고리의 종내분류군들은 각각 단계통을 형성하였다. 특히 형태적 변이로 인해 도둑놈의갈고리의 변종 또는 개도둑놈의갈고리와의 중간형으로 인식된 바 있는 긴도둑놈의갈고리는 개도둑놈의갈고리와 가장 가깝게 묶였다. 한편 도둑놈의갈고리의 변종이나 이명으로 인식되어온 애기도둑놈의갈고리는 변종으로 판단되었다. 싸리아족군의 경우, 매듭풀속 분류군들은 계통수상에서 각각 단계통으로 지지되었으나, 싸리속의 식물 16분류군 중 9분류군만 종식별이 가능하였다. 특히 싸리속내 땅비수리절보다 싸리절에서 낮은 종판별 해상능이 나타났다(싸리절=28.5%, 비수리절=77.8%). 싸리속 식물 중에 비수리는 계통수상에서 형태적으로 유사한 자주비수리와 확연히 구분되었다. 잡종으로도 인식된 바 있는 해변싸리와 청비수리 중, 해변싸리는 독립종으로 판단되었다. 반면 청비수리는 잡종 여부를 판단할 수는 없었지만, 땅비수리와 근연 관계에 있는 것으로 사료된다.

A moderately halophilic, Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium was isolated from the roots of Blutaparon portulacoides, a plant found in sandy soil parallel to the beach line in Restinga de Jurubatiba, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The strain, designated $M9^T$, was motile and strictly aerobic with rod-shaped cells. It grew in the absence of NaCl and up to 20% NaCl, and was able to hydrolyze casein and starch. Strain $M9^T$ had a cell-wall peptidoglycan based on L-Orn-D-Asp, the predominant menaquinone present was menaquinone-7 (MK-7), diaminopimelic acid was not found, and anteiso-$C_{15:0}$ and iso-$C_{15:0}$ were the major fatty acids. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain $M9^T$ belonged to the genus Halobacillus and exhibited 16S rRNA gene similarity levels of 97.8-99.4% with the type strains of the other nine Halobacillus species. The DNA-DNA relatedness of strain $M9^T$ with H. trueperi, the closest relative as regards 16S rRNA gene similarity, and H. locisalis was 21% and 18%, respectively. Therefore, on the basis of phenotypic, genotypic, and phylogenetic data, strain $M9^T$ (=ATCC BAA-$1217^T$, =CIP $108771^T$, =KCTC $3980^T$) should be placed in the genus Halobacillus as a member of a novel species, for which the name Halobacillus blutaparonensis sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, nonmotile, and nonspore-forming bacterial strain, designated $T5-12^T$, was isolated from compost and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomical approach. The isolate was positive for catalase and oxidase tests. It could degrade DNA, but was negative for degradation of macromolecules such as casein, collagen, starch, chitin, cellulose, and xylan. The DNA G+C content was 36.0 mol%. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). The major fatty acids were $iso-C_{15:0}$ (45.6%), $iso-C_{17:0}$ 3OH (17.2%), and summed feature 4 ($C_{16:0}\;{\omega}7c$ and/or $iso-C_{15:0}$ 2OH, 14.9%). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain $T5-12^T$ fell within the radiation of the cluster comprising members of the genus Sphingobacterium. Strain $T5-12^T$ exhibited lower than 94% of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with respect to the type strains of recognized Sphingobacterium species. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain $T5-12^T$ ($=KCTC\;12578^T=LMG\;23401^T=CCUG\;52467^T$) should be classified in the genus Sphingobacterium as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Sphingobacterium composti sp. novo is proposed.

The Abrolhos Continental Shelf (ACS) encompasses the largest and richest coral reefs in the southern Atlantic Ocean. A taxonomic study of non-geniculate coralline algae (NGCA) from the region was undertaken using both morpho-anatomical and molecular data. Specimens of NGCA were collected in 2012 and 2014 from shallow reefs of the ACS. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using dataset of psbA DNA sequences from 16 specimens collected in the ACS and additional GenBank sequences of related NGCA species. Nine common tropical reef-building NGCA species were identified and described: Hydrolithon boergesenii, Lithophyllum kaiseri, Lithophyllum sp., Lithothamnion crispatum, Melyvonnea erubescens, Pneophyllum conicum, Porolithon onkodes, Sporolithon ptychoides, and Titanoderma prototypum. A key for species identification is also provided in this study. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that Lithophyllum sp. corresponds to a new species. Our study also confirms that Lithophyllum kaiseri is a new record in Brazil. The psbA sequences of Lithophyllum kaiseri and Melyvonnea erubescens matched with type specimens indirectly. The taxonomic identification of the remaining species was supported by morpho-anatomical evidences as DNA sequences of their types or topotypes remain unavailable.

분자생물학적 자료에 의한 한국산 백합강 식물에 대한 분류학적 재검토를 시도하였다. 2가지의 다른 자료, 즉 엽록체 DNA인 rbcL 및 atpB sequence 자료분석에서 대체적으로 일치하는 계통수를 얻었다. 즉, 한국산 백합강은 Dahlgren 등의 분류체계에 의한 비짜루목, 백합목, 마목의 3목으로 구분되었다. 이중 비짜루목과 백합목의 유연관계를 추론하는 분자생물학적 연구에서 마목의 분류군이 군외분류군으로 사용되었다. 두 엽록체 DNA인 rbcL 및 atpB sequence 분석에서 붓꽃과는 백합과 보다는 비짜루과에 더 가까운 유연관계를 보여주었다. 그러나, 넓은 의미의 Narthecaceae (종전의 Melanthiaceae [국명부재]에 속한 분류군)는 비짜루목이나 백합목에 속하는 분류군들과 가까운 유연관계를 보이지 않았다. 이전의 은방울꽃과 [Ruscaceae] 내에 취급되었던 애기나리속, 나도옥잠화속, 죽대아재비속 등은 각각 Colchiaceae, 백합과, Caloghortaceae로 이전 되어야 한다는 결론이 내려졌다. 마지막으로 한국산 백합강에 속하는 과의 체계에 대해서 토의하였다.

The collared scops owl that occurs in Korea is a protected species but its exact specific status has been questioned. To resolve the species status, a molecular phylogenetic analysis was conducted using two fragments of mitochondrial DNA, cytochrome b (cyt b, 891 bp) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2, 627 bp) genes. Phylogenetic trees of cyt b revealed that all Korean specimens formed a monophyletic group with Japanese scops owl Otus semitorques with very low sequence divergence (d=0.008). We obtained a similar ND2 tree as well (d=0.003); however, the genetic distance between Korean individuals and O. lempiji from GenBank (AJ004026-7, EU348987, and EU601036) was very high and sufficient enough to separate them as species (cyt b, d=0.118; ND2, d=0.113). We also found that Korean species showed high differentiation from O. bakkamoena (AJ004018-20 and EU601034; cyt b, d=0.106; ND2, d=0.113) and O. lettia (EU601109 and EU601033, cyt b, d=0.110; ND2, d=0.117) as well. Therefore, we suggest that the Korean collared scops owl should be designated as Otus semitorques.

독도에 자생하는 벼과(Poaceae) 식물인 돌피(Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.)와 물피(Echinochloa crus-galli var. echinata (Willd.) Honda)의 분류학적 실체를 조사하였다. Echinochloa crus-galli complex에 속하는 2분류군 26개체에 대한 ITS, trnH-psbA 및 trnL-F의 염기서열을 분석하였다. 그 결과 독도의 돌피와 물피를 포함한 조사된 두 분류군은 유전자구간에서 동일한 염기서열을 나타내는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 호영 및 까락 등의 연속적인 형질로 두 분류군을 구분하는 기존의 형태형질에 근거한 분류학적 처리는 재고가 필요할 것으로 보인다. 한편, ITS 경우, 독도에서 채집된 물피와 돌피 개체들은 울릉도 및 육지에서 채집된 개체들과는 별개의 분계조를 형성함으로써 독립된 진화 경로를 거치고 있음을 보여 주었다.

Surveys on Jeju-do (Quelpart Isl.) unearthed about 40 earthworm species or sub-species. Several considered new to science are described. Only a dozen were previously known and these are taxonomically reviewed. The two most commonly recorded in surveys by S. Kobayashi in the 1930s were Drawida anchingiana Chen, 1933 and Metaphire quelparta (Kobayashi, 1937), neither recently relocated. Morphologically similar taxa, supported with DNA barcodes, for Moniligastridae, are Drawida anchingiana seogwipo, D. anchingiana halla and D. iucn spp. or sub-spp. nov. For Megascolecidae, new taxa and synonyms are: Amynthas arx and A. aucklandis spp. nov. that have seminal grooves rather than the eversible male pores of Metaphire plus Amynthas simplex is another new species. Amynthas sangumburi Hong & Kim, 2002 is recognized as a probable new synonym within the A. corticis (Kinberg, 1867) species-group while Amynthas corticis saeseum sub-sp nov. is described. Amynthas gracilis (Kinberg, 1867) is a new record from Jeju and Korea (with A. bouchei, A. omodeoi and A. edwardsi all by Zhao & Qiu, 2009 possible synonyms of this species group from China) with a Jejuan sub-species, A. gracilis insularum, sub-sp. nov. Presence on Jeju of Amynthas carnosus (Goto & Hatai, 1899) is confirmed (its further new synonyms are Chinese A. fuscus Qiu & Sun, 2012 and A. taiwumontis Shen et al., 2013), as is A. micronarius (Goto & Hatai, 1898) (with new synonym A. montanus Qiu & Sun, 2012 also an invalid secondary homonym). Amynthas phaselus maculosus (Hatai, 1930) is in new combination with A. kamitai (Kobayashi, 1934) and A. minjae Hong, 2001 syns. nov. Two newly described Metaphire quelparta sub-spp are M. q. seogwipo and M. q. valhalla these being supported with DNA barcodes despite the nominal taxon not yet being confirmed.
