  • Different actinomycete strains were isolated from natural lime caves of Ondal Chemongok Hwanseon and Yongyeon which are located at Kangwon or chungcheongbook province in Korea and were identified to the genus level. Soil sam-ples were collected at 6 sites inside and 2 sites outside of each natural lime cave, As the result the strains belonging to genus Streptomyces and rare actinomycetes were isolated at the average of 2.1 and 3.4 strains per g soil on inside cave whereas which were isolated at the 6.0 and 1.8 strains per g soil on outside cave. How-ever the generic distribution of Streptomyces and rare actinomycetes isolated from outside cave was quite dif-ferent from that of inside cave. It was shown that rare actinomycetes at natural lime caves is generally highly abundant than Streptomyces.

  • During the year and a half of preparation for the Untnmed Ri Expedition (Caves $ Caving 29 p. 29) a lot of time was devoted developing the techniques we would use to explore the roaring wh waters of Nare. We finally left for New Britain with a whole new set caving rules and hardware which would not be out of place in an Indi Jones movie. The first serious work to tackle this new problem in caving wa pioneered by the French in 1978 after the discovery of the Nare. M and Kavakuna - all big river caves with flows of 15-20 cumes. We tir out these techniques on the white water rivers of north Wales. ma some improvements and tested some new ideas. This articles is a summary of our research and experience.
