Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effects of temperature and storage time on the evolution of bacterial communities in swine manure. Methods: Manure was stored at $-20^{\circ}C$, $4^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, or $37^{\circ}C$ and sampled at 7-day intervals over 28 days of storage, for a total of 5 time points. To assess the bacterial species present, 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences were analyzed using pyrosequencing. Results: After normalization, 113,934 sequence reads were obtained, with an average length of $466.6{\pm}4.4bp$. The diversity indices of the communities reduced as temperature and storage time increased, and the slopes of rarefaction curves decreased from the second week in samples stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that the richness of the bacterial community in the manure reduced as temperature and storage time increased. Firmicutes were the dominant phylum in all samples examined, ranging from 89.3% to 98.8% of total reads, followed by Actinobacteria, which accounted for 0.6% to 7.9%. A change in community composition was observed in samples stored at $37^{\circ}C$ during the first 7 days, indicating that temperature plays an important role in determining the microbiota of swine manure. Clostridium, Turicibacter, Streptococcus, and Lactobacillus within Firmicutes, and Corynebacterium within Actinobacteria were the most dominant genera in fresh manure and all stored samples. Conclusion: Based on our findings, we propose Clostridium as an indicator genus of swine manure decomposition in an anaerobic environment. The proportions of dominant genera changed in samples stored at $20^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$ during the fourth week. Based on these results, it was concluded that the microbial communities of swine manure change rapidly as storage time and temperature increase.

The genus Paenibacillus is a new group of bacilli separated from the genus Bacillus, and most of species have been isolated from soil. In the present study, we collected 450 spore-forming bacilli from the roots of winter crops, such as barley, wheat, onion, green onion, and Chinese cabbage, which were cultivated in the southern part of Korea. Among these 450 isolates, 104 Paenibacillus-like isolates were selected, based on their colony shape, odor, color, and endospore morphology, and 41 isolates were then finally identified as Paenibacillus spp. by 16S rDNA sequencing. Among the 41 Paenibacillus isolates, 23 were classified as P. polymyxa, a type species of the genus Paenibacillus, based on comparison of the 16S rDNA sequences with those of 32 type strains of the genus Paenibacillus from the GenBank database. Thirty-five isolates among the 41 Paenibacillus isolates exhibited antagonistic activity towards plant fungal and bacterial pathogens, whereas 24 isolates had a significant growth-enhancing effect on cucumber seedlings, when applied to the seeds. An assessment of the root-colonization capacity under gnotobiotic conditions revealed that all 41 isolates were able to colonize cucumber roots without any significant difference. Twenty-one of the Paenibacillus isolates were shown to contain the nifH gene, which is an indicator of $N_{2}$ fixation. However, the other 20 isolates, including the reference strain E681, did not incorporate the nifH gene. To investigate the diversity of the isolates, a BOX-PCR was performed, and the resulting electrophoresis patterns allowed the 41 Paenibacillus isolates to be divided into three groups (Groups A, B, and C). One group included Paenibacillus strains isolated mainly from barley or wheat, whereas the other two groups contained strains isolated from diverse plant samples. Accordingly, the present results showed that the Paenibacillus isolates collected from the rhizosphere of winter crops were diverse in their biological and genetic characteristics, and they are good candidates for further application studies.

본 연구는 상추와 오이의 GAP 인증 및 미인증 농가를 대상으로 토양, 용수, 작물 (상추, 오이), 장갑, 포장재 (비닐)에 대한 미생물 오염도를 비교 평가하고 농가의 위생관리 실태를 조사하여 GAP 인증 농가에 대한 미생물학적 안전성 강화를 위한 자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 미생물 오염도 조사 결과 상추 농장의 경우 위생지표세균 오염도는 GAP 인증 농가가 미인증 농가 보다 조금 낮거나 유사하였고, 병원성미생물인 S. aureus와 B. cereus는 GAP 인증 농가의 토양과 용수에서 미인증 농가 보다 높게 검출되었다. 오이농장은 토양의 대장균군과 B. cereus, 장갑의 일반세균 및 대장균군 오염도가 GAP 미인증 농가보다 GAP 인증 농가에서 높았고, 그 외에는 GAP 인증 농가와 미인증 농가가 유사한 오염도를 나타내었다. 전체적으로 결과를 비교했을 때 GAP 인증 농가와 미인증 농가의 미생물 오염도 수준이 크게 차이가 나지 않는 것으로 확인되어 GAP를 인증 받았음에도 불구하고 미생물에 대한 관리는 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 농가의 위생관리 실태 조사 결과에서는 GAP 인증 농가가 미인증 농가보다는 미생물 오염을 방지하기 위한 노력들을 하고 있는 것으로 확인되었으나, GAP 인증 및 미인증 농가 모두 농업용수의 관리와 작업 시 사용되는 작업자의 장갑 관리에 있어서는 미흡한 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 연구결과는 농산물의 미생물 오염방지에 대한 방안을 제시하고 GAP 인증을 개선하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

부산시 영도구의 혁신지구의 인공해수천은 높아진 하상과 조류의 특성으로 인해 물이 순환되지 않고 더구나 주위의 오수가 유입되고 있어서 수질이 나빠지고 악취를 발생하고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 가장 오염되고 조류이동을 감안한 하천의 지점에 생물증강법을 적용하여 친환경적, 효율적으로 하천을 정화하고자 하였다. 현장에서 활성화된 복합미생물을 가장 오염된 지점(Site 2)에 7~10일 간격으로 투입하여, 수질의 pH, 온도, DO, ORP, SS, COD, T-N, 및 T-P를 측정하였고 또한 하상퇴적토의 COD 및 미생물군집을 분석하였다. 13개월 후 Site 2의 수질 SS, COD, T-N 및 COD (퇴적토)의 처리효율은 각각 51%, 58%, 27% 및 35%으로 나타났으나 T-P는 오히려 47% 증가를 보였다. 대부분의 측정지점에서 황산염환원세균(sulfate reducing bacteria)그룹 (Desulfobacteraceae_uc_s, Desulfobacterales_uc_s, Desulfuromonadaceae_uc_s, Desulfuromonas_g1_uc and Desulfobacter postgatei)과 Anaerolinaeles의 밀도는 대체적으로 생물증강에 의한 정화가 진행될수록 감소하였으며, 반면에 Gamma-proteobacteria (NOR5-6B_s and NOR5-6A_s), Bacteroidales_uc_s, 및 Flavobacteriales_uc_s의 밀도는 증가하는 경향이었다. 상대적으로 COD가 낮고 DO가 높은 청정지점인 St. 4에서는 호기성미생물인 Flavobacteriaceae_uc_s가 우점하였다. 이러한 미생물군은 하천의 정화과정을 추적할 수 있는 지표미생물로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 생물증강 시행 후의 대표적 시점 퇴적토시료의 미생물군집 alpha diversity 지수(OTUs, Chao1 및 Shannon 지수)는 시행 전에 비해 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 또한 beta diversity 분석기법(fast unifrac 분석)으로 분석한 결과 정화 전이나 초기에 비해서 정화가 진행될수록 전반적으로 시료에 무관하게 미생물군집의 유사성을 보여 생물증강이 현장 토착 미생물의 군집구조를 변화시키고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 사실로 보아 본 복합미생물에 의한 현장 생물증강법은 brine water 및 담수로 이루어진 오염된 하천을 환경친화적, 경제적으로 정화할 수 있는 대안으로 판단이 되었다.

본 연구에서는 시판 중인 신선편이 어린잎채소의 식중독세균 오염도를 조사하고 신선편이 어린잎채소에 사용되는 원료를 재배방법별(토양재배, 상토재배)로 채취하여 재배방법이 어린잎채소의 안전성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 시판 중인 어린잎채소 상품 181점과 어린잎채소 상품 원료를 재배방법별로 구분하여 117점을 채취하여 위생지표세균(대장균군, E. coli)와 병원성미생물(E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., S. aureus)를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 시판 중 어린잎채소의 대장균군은 봄철과 여름철에 각각 3.60±2.53 log CFU/g, 5.59±1.18 log CFU/g로 여름철이 유의하게 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 또한 E. coli의 경우, 봄철에는 A마트에서 수집된 시료 1점에서 검출되었으나 여름철에는 수집된 시료의 42.2%(43/102)점에서 검출되었다. S. aureus의 경우는 봄철에 1점에서만 검출되었고, E. coli O157:H7과 Salmonella spp.는 모든 시료에서 검출되지 않았다. 어린잎채소 원료의 대장균군의 오염도는 토양 재배한 경우 봄철에 1.15±1.95 log CFU/g, 여름철에는 4.09±2.52 log CFU/g 수준이었다. 한편 상토 재배한 경우는 계절에 관계없이 5.0 log CFU/g이상이었다. E. coli는 토양 재배한 어린잎채소의 경우 봄철에는 적청경채 1점에서 검출 되었으나 여름철에는 44.4%의 시료에서 E. coli가 검출되어 계절적인 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 한편 상토 재배한 어린잎채소의 경우 봄철과 여름철에 수집된 시료의 33%, 19%에서 각각 검출되어 시기에 관계없이 지속적으로 검출되는 것으로 나타났다. S. aureus의 경우, 봄철 상토 재배한 어린잎채소 1점에서 검출되었으며 E. coli O157:H7과 Salmonella spp.는 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 어린잎채소 상품의 안전성은 원료의 안전성과 밀접한 관련이 있으며 원료의 안전성을 확보를 위해서는 농업생산환경 위생관리 기술 개발과 보급이 필요하다.

During the screening of inhibitors of melanin biosynthesis from microbial secondary metabolites, a fungal strain MR-93 which was capable of producing high level of an inhibitor was selected from plant leaf. Based on taxonomic studies, the fungus could be classified as a strain of Trichoderma sp.. The active compound (MR-93D) was purified from the culture broth by Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, ethylacetate extraction, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and HPLC. The inhibitor was identified as 4-hydroxy-8-isocyano-l-oxaspiro[4-4]cyclonon-8-en-2- one by spectroscopic methods of UV, $^{1}$H-NMR, ESIMS and IR. MR-93D showed a strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity with 0.03 $\mu$g/m of IC$_{50}$ value. It also inhibited melanin biosynthesis with 35 mm inhibition zone at 30 $\mu$g/paper disc in Streptomyces bikiniensis, a bacterium used as an indicator organism in this work.

Twenty microbial strains producing the acylase were isolated from soil by using Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341 as an indicator strain, using either D-($\alpha $)-phenylglycine methylester and 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) or glutaric acid dimethylester and 7-ACA as substrates. Among the isolates, only one strain was turned out to be the 7-ACA producer from either cephalosporin C or glutaryl 7-ACA as the substrates by using the overlay of 7-ACA sensitive strain (SS5). 7-ACA produced from cephalosporin C by an isolate (APS20) was detected by high performance liquid chromatography. The isolated strain (APS20) was identified to Bacillus macerans on the basis of cellular fatty acid profile by gas chromatography. Bacillus macerans APS20 had no $\beta $-lacta-mase activity on cephalosporin C, and that is very important for the enzymatic production process of 7-ACA. However, this strain was resistant up to 100 $\mu $g/ml of cephalosporin C.

Agricultural field near at the abandoned metal mine and industrial area has a high possibility to be polluted by heavy metals. However, concern about chemical properties including heavy metal concentration has been increased and biological properties such as soil respiration has been minimal in heavy metal polluted field. Therefore, main objective of this research was to evaluate soil respiration as an indicator of heavy metal pollution in agricultural field. Total of 60 sampling sites including each 30 sites of abandoned metal mine and industrial area were selected and heavy metal concentration, soil respiration, and chemical properties were measured. Results showed that heavy metal concentration in metal mine area was ranged Cu: $6.21~85.23mg\;kg^{-1}$, Pb: $23.84{\sim}1,044.72mg\;kg^{-1}$, As: $1.88{\sim}691.44mg\;kg^{-1}$, Zn: $18.72{\sim}527.55mg\;kg^{-1}$, Cd: $0.58{\sim}4.27mg\;kg^{-1}$, and Cu: $0.29{\sim}30.62mg\;kg^{-1}$, Pb: $4.41{\sim}19.77mg\;kg^{-1}$, As: $2.23{\sim}11.76mg\;kg^{-1}$, Zn $39.98{\sim}109.59mg\;kg^{-1}$, Cd $0.29{\sim}0.57mg\;kg^{-1}$ for industrial area respectively. While no sampling site was exceed the threshold value of each heavy metals in industrial field, metal mine area was highly polluted with Pb, As, Zn, and Cd. Soil respiration in the metal mine and industrial area was ranged $12.05{\sim}299.80mg\;O_2\;kg^{-1}$ and $27.68{\sim}330.94mg\;O_2\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. Correlation analysis between heavy metal concentration in soil and soil respiration showed that negative correlation was observed in metal mine area while no correlation was observed in industrial area. This result might indicate that as heavy metal concentration was increased, microbial activity in soil was decreased resulting decrease of soil respiration rate. Overall, soil respiration can be used as indicator of heavy metal pollution in soil and more biological properties need to be evaluated to better understand heavy metal pollution in soil.
