A reliable molecular phylogenetic method to identify Hericium erinaceum, the most industrially valuable species in the Hericium genus, was established. Sequencing and phylogenetic analyses of the PCR-amplified ITS and 5.8S rDNA from Hericium fungi, including 6 species and 23 isolates, showed that variation in nucleotide sequences and size exists in both ITS1 and ITS2 regions, but not in the 5.8S region. These two ITS regions provided different levels of information on the relationship of H. erinaceum to other Hericium species. Based on the ITS1 sequence, both the parsimony and neighbor joining trees clearly distinguished Asian H. erinaceum isolates from other Hericium species and isolates. The intraspecific divergence of the ITS2 region was suitable to dissect the Asian H. erinaceum isolates into a few groups.

한국산 미나리아재비속 미나리아재비(Acris Schur)절에 속하는 미나리아재비(Ranunculus japonicus)와 근연종인 산미나리아재비(R. acris var. nipponicus) 및 바위미나리아재비(R. crucilobus)의 실체와 분류학적 한계를 파악하기위해 속, 종간 규명에 많이 이용하고 있는 핵리보좀(ribosomal) DNA의 internal transcribed spacer 구간의 염기서열을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 6개의 군외군을 포함하여 총 18개의 DNA 재료(accessions)의 정열된 염기서열들을 바탕으로 bootsrap을 포함한 maximum parsimony와 maximum likelihood 분석법에 의한 계통수로 평가하였다. 연구 결과 Acris절에 속하는 미나리아재비, 산미나리아재비 및 바위미나리아재비는 단계통군으로 나타났으며 특히 미나리아재비(R. japonicus)와 산미나리아재비(R. acris var. nipponicus)는 같은 분계조를 형성하였다. 이와 달리 바위미나리아재비는 미나리아재비와 산미나리아재비에서 분지된 결과를 보여, 한라산 해발 1500m이상의 높은 지역에 분포하는 바위미나리아재비는 미나리아재비의 아종(R. japonicus Thunb. subsp. chrysotrichus (Nakai) Y. N. Lee, comb. nud.)으로 처리하기보다는, 독립된 고유종인 R. crucilobus H. L$\acute{e}$v.으로의 처리를 지지하였다.

We compared patterns of intraspecific polymorphism of two markers with contrasting modes of evolution, nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), in the lung fluke, diploid and triploid Paragonimus westermani from three geographical regions of Korea. The genetic distances between three populations of Korean diploid and triploid P. westermani showed no significant difference in the nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mtCOI) and ribosomaal second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) genes. A highly resolved strict-consensus tree was obtained that illustrated phylogenetically useful information of the ITS2 and mtCOI sequences from diploid and triploid P. westermani.

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.

Auricularia is one of the broadly cultivated edible mushrooms in Korea. Most of the Korean Auricularia strains used for cultivation and breeding are known as A. auricula-judae. Recently, this species has been reported to belong to a species complex. Therefore, this study was carried out to genetically clarify the bred and cultivated Korean A. auricula-judae strains. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and IGS1 rDNA region sequences were determined from 10 A. auricula-judae strains by PCR and sequencing. Variation in the nucleotide sequence and sequence length of the two rDNA regions were found among the seven A. auricula-judae strains. A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree based on the ITS sequences clearly placed all the 10 Korean A. auricula-judae strains in the A. heimuer clade of the A. auriculajudae complex. A. heimuer is diverged from A. auricula-judae. An ML phylogenetic tree based on the IGS1 sequences revealed the close relationship between Korean A. heimuer strains to Chinese A. heimuer strains. But each strain could be distinguishable by the IGS1 sequence. Furthermore, progeny strains in the seven Korean strains could be differentiated from their parental strains by the IGS1 sequence based phylogenetic tree. Our results are expected to be used to complement the distinction of domestic Auricularia cultivars.

최근 10년간 미생물생태분석 기반의 연구는 차세대염기서열분석법이 개발된 이래로 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 장내미생물생태와 건강의 연관성은 미생물 생태학 분야에 있어서 중요한 결과로 여겨지고 있다. 미생물 군집 분석은 주로 16S rRNA 유전자 가변 영역의 염기서열을 통해 분석되지만 이는 미생물의 활성 정보를 제공하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 cDNA 기반의 미생물 생태분석을 수행하고 DNA 및 cDNA기반의 미생물생태분석 결과를 비교하였다. 두 가지의 서로 다른 접근법이 Butyrate producer와 probiotics와 같이 장내 대사과정에서 중요한 미생물의 abundance 뿐만 아니라 비만 지표로 알려진 Firmicutes 와 Bacteroidetes의 비율에 있어서 차이가 있음을 나타내었다. 따라서, cDNA 기반 미생물 군집은 이전에 수행된 DNA 기반 미생물 군집 분석과 비교하여 장내미생물생태의 역할과 관련된 또 다른 분석 방향성을 제공한다.

Sweet persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) is widely cultivated in the southern part of Korea and its cultivation is increasing. However, anthracnose disease caused by Colletotricuhum species is one of the major hinderances to the cultivation and production of sweet persimmon. Therefore, in the current study, PCR was used to specifically detect Colletotrichum spp., based on the sequences of the ITS II regions in the rDNA. Using the sequence data, CO-1 was designated to detect Colletotrichum together the with ITS 4 primer. The result showed that a single segment of ca. 500 bp was observed only in Colletotrichum, but not in any other fungal and bacterial isolates. The annealing temperatures and template DNA quantites were also investigated to identify optimal conditions for detection. Using these species-specific primers, a unique band was obtained at annealing temperatures ranging from $55^{\circ}C\;and\;61^{\circ}C$ and template DNA levels from 10 pg- $10{\mu}g$.

Objectives : The original plant species of Schisandrae Fructus (O-mi-ja) is prescribed as Schisandra chinensis $B_{AILL.}$, in Korea, but S. chinensis $B_{AILL.}$ and S. sphenanthera $R_{EHD.}$ et $W_{ILS.}$ in China. Moreover, fruit of several other species in genus Schisandra also have been used as the same herbal medicines. To develop a reliable method for correct identification of Schisandrae Fructus and to evaluate the phylogenetic relationship of S. chinensis and its related species, we analyzed internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA). Methods : Twenty-four plant samples of three Schisandra species and one Kadsura species, S. chinensis $B_{AILL.}$, S. spenanthera $R_{EHD.}$ et $W_{ILS.}$, S. nigra $M_{ax.}$ and Kadsura japonica $D_{UNAL}$ were collected from each different native habitate and farm in Korea and China. The nrDNA-ITS region of each samples were amplified using ITS1 and ITS4 primer and nucleotide sequences were determined after sub-cloning into the pGEM-Teasy vector. Authentic marker nucleotides were estimated by the analysis of ClastalW based on the entire nrDNA-ITS sequence. Results : In comparative analysis of the nrDNA-ITS sequences, we found specific nucleotide sequences including indels (insertions and deletions) and substitutions to distinguish C. chinensis, S. spenanthera, S. nigra, and K. japonica. These sequence differences at corresponding positions are avaliable nucleotide markers to determine the botanical origin of O-mi-ja. Moreover, we evaluated the phylogenetic relationship of four plant species by the analysis of nrDNA-ITS sequences. Conclusions : These marker nucleotides would be useful to identify the official herbal medicines by the providing of definitive information that can identify each plant species and distinguish it from unauthentic adulterants for O-mi-ja.
