A fungus, Penicillium sp. PS-113, isolated from soil showed the high phosphate-solubilizing activity in patato dextrose broth-rock phosphate to produce free phosphates to the culture broth with the concentrations of 585 ppm against rock phosphate. In this medium, the optimum temperature and initial pH to solubilize rock phosphate were 30$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5, respectively. In order to make the mass production of the conidia from this fungus, we cultured in on various solid-based media like barley, corn, wheat, rice, rice bran, and compost. As a result, the fungus highly produced conidia ranging from 2.1 to $5.1{\times}10_9$ conidia/g${\cdot}$media on these solid media except compost-based medium, which was 0 times less than others. Effects of inoculation of the phosphate solubilizing fungus as a biofertilizer were studied in perlite-based pot cropped with Zea mays Suwon 19. Inoculation of Penicillium sp. PS-113 increased in plant height (1.4 times), plant weight (5.2~8.1 times) and root length (1.1~1.2 times) at 60-day cultivation, compared to Hogland solution either without $NH_4H_2PO_4$ or displace $NH_4H_2PO_4$ to powdered rock phosphate, a phosphorus source for plant growth.

The role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the phytoremediation of heavy-metal-contaminated soils is important in overcoming its limitations for field application. A plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, Serratia sp. SY5, was isolated from the rhizoplane of barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) grown in petroleum and heavy-metal-contaminated soil. This isolate has shown capacities for indole acetic acid production and siderophores synthesis. Compared with a non-inoculated control, the radicular root growth of Zea mays seedlings inoculated with SY5 can be increased by 27- or 15.4-fold in the presence of 15 mg-Cd/l or 15 mg-Cu/l, respectively. The results from hydroponic cultures showed that inoculation of Serratia sp. SY5 had a favorable influence on the initial shoot growth and biomass of Zea mays under noncontaminated conditions. However, under Cd-contaminated conditions, the inoculation of SY5 significantly increased the root biomass of Zea mays. These results indicate that Serratia sp. SY5 can serve as a promising microbial inoculant for increased plant growth in heavy-metal-contaminated soils to improve the phytoremediation efficiency.

This study was carried out to investigate the influences of cultural conditions of koji on the production of organic acid during rice-koji making by Aspergillus awamori var. kawachii which is now widely used as koji-mold in brewing Takju and Yakju in Korea. The optimum temperature for the germination of the conidia of the mold was 35'8, and the time required for germination at this temperature was 8 hours. Rapid germination occurred when the water content of steamed rice was above 40%, but germination retardation occurred markedly below 35%. The optimum cultural temperature for the production of organic acid was 32$^{\circ}C$, and the production of organic acid was markedly restricted at 36$^{\circ}C$ and 4$0^{\circ}C$. It was effective for the high production of both saccharogenic amylase and organic acid to shift the cultural temperature from initial 36$^{\circ}C$ to 32$^{\circ}C$ after 20~25 hours of cultivation. Initial water content suitable to the production of organic acid was 40% in steamed rice, but its production was markedly restricted below 30% of water content. When the quantity of conidial inoculation was too small, the production of organic acid was low in initial phase, but it was retrived at later period. Acid production was markedly restricted together with the increase in koji thickness.

소나무재선충에 자연 감염된 소나무와 잣나무로부터 소나무재선충을 분리하여 수종 간 분리율과 수종 내 부위별 밀도 등을 비교하고, 분리한 선충을 소나무 묘목에 접종하여 묘목 내에서의 이동을 알고자 하였다. 2006년, 소나무재선충에 감염되어 말라죽었거나 죽어가고 있는 소나무와 잣나무로부터 소나무재선충을 분리한 결과, 소나무재선충은 두 수종 모두에서 높은 밀도로 분리되어 수종 간에 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한, 각 수종의 변재부 위에서만 분리되었으며, 분리한 조직을 채취한 줄기의 높이에 따른 분리율에는 차이가 없었다. 즉, 말라죽은 나무의 주간은 모든 조직이 소나무재선충에 감염되어 있었다. 소나무 묘목에의 접종실험을 통하여 감염목 내 이동을 조사한 결과, 감염초기에 소나무 조직 내로 침입한 소나무재선충은 증식에 앞서 감염목 내에서 빠르게 이동하여 퍼지기 시작하였고, 그 이후에 왕성한 증식활동을 하였으며, 이 시기가 바로 소나무 시들음병의 외부병징이 나타나는 시기가 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 소나무재선충의 이동경로를 조사하기 위해 접종한 소나무 줄기횡단면을 현미경으로 관찰하고, 또 높이별로 선충을 분리하여 조직 내 선충의 분포를 관찰한 결과, 줄기의 피층에 있는 수지도를 통해 접종부위로부터 다른 부위로 빠르게 이동을 하고, 시간이 경과하면서 조직 내에서 증식한 소나무재선충은 피층의 수지도뿐만 아니라 목질부수지도나 가도관까지 분포하여 감염목내 전 부위에 걸쳐 고루 분포하였다. 그러나 수조직에서는 분리할 수 없었다. 소나무재선충 분리밀도가 높았던 묘목은 뿌리의 발달이 불량하거나, 목질부 변색균에 감염된 것들이었으며, 비교적 튼튼한 외양을 한 묘목에서는 선충의 분리밀도가 낮았다.

T. verrucosum에 의한 피부사상균증의 임상 및 병리조직학적 경과를 이해하여 진단과 치료에 도움이 되고자, 환자와 그 감염원으로 추정되는 한우에서 채취한 T. verrucosum을 Sabouraud 포도당 한천배지에서의 성장속도를 비교하고, 기니픽에 접종한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Sabouraud 포도당 한천배지에서의 성장속도는 한우주가 환자주에 비해 빨랐으며 $25^{\circ}C$보다 $37^{\circ}C$에서 더 빨리 자랐으나, 환자주는 온도에 따른 차이가 없었다. 홍반과 인설이 6일 경부터 증가하여 14-16일경에 황선과 유사한 병변을 형성하였으며 이후 점차 감소하여 30일 경에는 부분적인 탈모를 남기고 치유되었다. 환자주와 한우주에서 병변의 진행과정은 큰 차이가 없었으며 그 정도에서는 환자주에서 한우주보다 약간 더 심하게 나타났다. 병리조직학적인 변화는 접종 3일째에 극세포증과 혈관의 확장 및 증식이 나타나기 시작하여 12일 경에 최고에 도달했으며 이때에 과각화증, 이상각화증, 표피내 미세농양, 해면증과 더불어 진피의 혈관증식 및 확장, 세포침윤이 가장 심하였고 이러한 표피와 진피의 변화는 25일 경까지 지속된후 감소되어 33일째는 가벼운 과각화증과 극세포증을 보였으며 진피내에는 부분적으로 약간의 혈관 확장과 단핵구의 침윤을 나타내었다. PAS 염색상 접종 6일에 균사가 각질층하부와 모낭개구부에서 보인 후 9일째는 외내측 모근초와 모간에서도 관찰되었으며 21일째는 완전히 소실되었다. Trichophytin 피부반응검사에서는 평균 $9.83{\pm}1.17$일에 24마리의 기니픽 모두에서 양성반응을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 T. verrucosum에 의한 피부사상균증은 조기에 세포면역을 유도하여 특히 모낭에 심한 염증을 일으키며 병변의 빠른 치유와 연관이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Initial subcellular responses in susceptible (PI 274420) and resistant (cv. Hartwig) soybeans infected with the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) were examined 2 and 4 days after inoculation (DAI). Subcellular features common to both soybeans at 2 DAI included hypertrophied initial syncytial cells (ISCs) and syncytium-component cells (SCs) with a dense cytoplasm containing proliferated rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (RER and SER), a hypertrophied nucleolus, and reduced vacuoles, suggesting that the nematode-infected cells were dedifferentiated. In the resistant soybean, a striking initial subcellular difference from the susceptible soybean was the dilation of the RER, indicating ER dysfunction and leading to cell death. This disturbed nematode feeding, as evidenced by disrupted feeding tubes. In PI 274420, the ISC cytoplasm was depleted, with the exception of ER membranes, at 4 DAI, while the SC cytoplasm was dense with proliferation of starch-containing plastids around multiple nuclei that might be derived from the congregation of nuclei in the neighboring SCs and in part by nuclear division without cytokinesis. In cv. Hartwig, syncytia were necrotized with secondary cell wall thickening outside the plasma membrane and an extremely dense cytoplasm containing a nucleus with an electron-lucent nucleolus, accompanied by the proliferation of closely stacked parallel RER and ribosomes. These results suggest that syncytia develop continuously in PI 274420 to produce and store nutritional substances in SCs, providing for the nematode through ISC until maturation, but in cv. Hartwig, syncytia degenerate early due to excessive metabolism, blocking nematode feeding and cytoplasmic connections with adjacent intact cells.

Zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo cv. Black Beauty) plants infected with A strain of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV-A) isolated from a hollyhock plant showed systemically severe mosaic symptom, similar to previously established Cu strain of ZYMV. However, initial symptom of squash infected by ZYMV-A strain was generally more severe than those infected by ZYMV-Cu. Using leaf-detachment assay, examination of kinetics of accumulation of the coat protein (CP) in systemic loaves of squash plants showed that CPs of ZYMV-A appeared earlier than those of ZYMV-Cu. However, both ZYMV-A and ZYMV-Cu showed similar kinetics of CP accumulation 7 days post-inoculation. These results indicate that different rates and initial severity of systemic symptom development were due to differences in the rate of movement rather than vims replication.

Soil-borne fungal pathogens such as Verticillium and Rhizoctonia can colonize in the stem tissue of plant through root and lead to wilting symptoms of plant by blocking. water transportation. During the colonization of Rhizoctonia solani in the vascular tissue of tomato stems, particularly, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene induction pattern was cyclized showing peak induction at two different time points (10 and 80 h) after fungal spores inoculation in vivo. In leaves or roots, however, no such cycling pattern was observed. The first induction peak may be due to an initial sporulation events leading to a second induction peak by a proliferation of fungal spores to the upper stems or other tissues from an initial spore trapping sites. Tomato PAL gene was also dramatically induced by wounding, light illumination and mercury chloride treatment but was not cyclized. Mercury chloride showed the earliest induction with all tissues even at half an hour after treatment.

Acarbose, a pseudo-oligosaccharide, is widely used clinically in therapies for non-insulin-dependent diabetes. In the present study, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) was added to selected media in order to investigate its effect on acarbose fermentation by Actinoplanes utahensis ZJB-08196. Acarbose titer was seen to increase markedly when concentrations of SAM were added over a period of time. The effects of glucose and maltose on the production of acarbose were investigated in both batch and fed-batch fermentation. Optimal acarbose production was observed at relatively low glucose levels and high maltose levels. Based on these results, a further fed-batch experiment was designed so as to enhance the production of acarbose. Fed-batch fermentation was carried out at an initial glucose level of 10 g/l and an initial maltose level of 60 g/l. Then, 12 h post inoculation, 100 ${\mu}mol/l$ SAM was added. In addition, 8 g/l of glucose was added every 24 h, and 20 g/l of maltose was added at 96 h. By way of this novel feeding strategy, the maximum titer of acarbose achieved was 6,113 mg/l at 192 h. To our knowledge, the production level of acarbose achieved in this study is the highest ever reported.
