Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) have mutualistic symbiosis with plants and thus efforts have been placed on application of these symbiotic relationships to agricultural and environmental fields. In this study, AM fungi were collected from 25 sites growing with 16 host plant species in Korea and cultured with Sorghum bicolor in greenhouse condition. AM fungal spores were extracted and identified using both morphological and molecular methods. Using morphological characters, total 15 morpho-speices were identified. DNA was extracted from single spore of AM fungi and a partial region on 18S rDNA was amplified using nested PCR with AM fungal specific primers AML1/AML2. A total of 36 18S rDNA sequences were analyzed for phylogenetic analysis and 15 groups of AM fungi were identified using both morphological and molecular data of spores. Among the species, 4 species, Archaeospora leptoticha, Scutellospora castanea, S. cerradensis, S. weresubiae were described for the first time in Korea and two species in Glomus and a species in Gigaspora were not identified. Morphological and molecular identification of AM fungal spores in this study would help identify AM fungal community colonizing roots.

본 연구의 목적은 곰팡이 28S rDNA 염기서열의 메타분석을 통하여 반추위 곰팡이의 다양성을 조사하는데 있다. 'rumen'과 'ruminal'이 반추위 곰팡이 유래 염기서열들을 회수하기 위한 검색어로 사용되었다. 2016년 9월부로 모든 28S rDNA 염기서열이 보관되어 있는 Ribosomal Database Project(RDP, http://rdp.cme.msu.edu) 데이터베이스에서 반추위 곰팡이 유래 28S rDNA 유전자 염기서열(n=165)을 획득하였다. 총 165개의 염기서열은 분류학상의 '문(phylum)'인 Ascomycota, Neocallimastigomycota 및 Basidiomycota로 분류되었고, 165개의 염기서열 중에서 각각 109개, 48개, 8개의 염기서열을 차지하였다. Ascomycota 염기서열은 식물병원성곰팡이나 마이코톡신을 생성하는 곰팡이를 포함하고 있는 '속(genus)' Pseudonectria, Magnaporthe, Alternaria, Cochliobolus, Cladosporium 및 Davidiella로 분류되었다. 또한, Basidiomycota 염기서열은 식물병원성곰팡이를 포함하고 있는 '속(genus)' Thanatephorus와 Cryptococcus로 분류되었다. 뿐만 아니라, Neocallimastigomycota 염기서열의 경우 섭취된 조사료의 주요 구조탄수화물을 분해하는 '속(genus)' Cyllamyces, Neocallimastix, Anaeromyces, Caecomyces, Orpinomyces, Piromyces로 분류되었다. 본 연구는 처음으로 28S rDNA 염기서열의 메타분석을 통해 반추위 곰팡이 다양성에 대한 정보를 통합적으로 제공하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 반추위 곰팡이 연구에 대한 방향을 제공할 것이고, 새로운 분석도구 개발에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

With universal primer ITS1-F, the specific DHJ2 primer was developed to detect the Ectomycorrhizal(ECM) root tips in soil and to identify the species of ECM fungi, as based on DNA sequences of rDNA stored in GeneBank of NCBI. This primer was designed with the common sites of rDNA of Amanita and Boletus, and was also designed with several DNA programs provided by NCBI. The DNA fragments synthesized by PCR were calculated to be 1,000 to 1,200 bps of DNA located to 18s to 28s rDNA to contain two variable sites of ITS, indicating much diversities for specific species or ecotypes of ECM fungi. The primer DHJ2 reacted with the genomic DNA's extracted from the tissues of basidiocarp at the rate of 73 of 80 fungi collected produced single bands with a 1,100 bps length. The DNA fragment synthesized with the genomic DNA that extracted from eight ECM tips of Pinus densiflora was confirmed and analysized to the rDNAs of ECM in full sequences, and informed to be a ECM fungal species in the forest.

The aim of this study was to compare the results of morphological phenotypic examination and molecular biological method, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) using clinical isolates from Korean patients infected with dermatophytes. A total of 44 clinical isolates have been collected by Korean Collection Medical Fungi (KCMF) and those were subjected for the RAPD analysis. The results showed that the fungal strains that have RG1 band patterns were identified as Trichophyton rubrum by the neighbour-joining analysis. Additionally, other fungal strains that have RG3 band patterns were identified as Epidermophyton floccosum and RG5 band patterns were identified as Micorsporum gypseum. Even though molecular biological method such as RAPD are not necessary, it might be useful when some strains have similar morphological characteristics or when same species has phenotypic variations. In this study, therefore, we targeted internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of fungal rDNA, performed RAPD and then compared with morphological phenotypic examination.

During a survey of fungal diversity in different provinces of South Korea in 2017, a new fungal isolate was discovered. This fungal isolate was identified as Westerdykella reniformis, based on its morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis, using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 28S ribosomal DNA (28S rDNA) sequence data. To our knowledge, W. reniformis has not previously been reported in South Korea. Thus, in this study, we report a new record of a species from the Dothideomycetes class in Korea, and provide a detailed description with morphological illustrations.

Two culture-independent methods, namely ribosomal DNA libraries and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), were adopted to examine the microbial community of a Malaysian light crude oil. In this study, both 16S and 18S rDNAs were PCR-amplified from bulk DNA of crude oil samples, cloned, and sequenced. Analyses of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and phylogenetics clustered the 16S and 18S rDNA sequences into seven and six groups, respectively. The ribosomal DNA sequences obtained showed sequence similarity between 90 to 100% to those available in the GenBank database. The closest relatives documented for the 16S rDNAs include member species of Thermoincola and Rhodopseudomonas, whereas the closest fungal relatives include Acremonium, Ceriporiopsis, Xeromyces, Lecythophora, and Candida. Others were affiliated to uncultured bacteria and uncultured ascomycete. The 16S rDNA library demonstrated predomination by a single uncultured bacterial type by >80% relative abundance. The predomination was confirmed by DGGE analysis.
