Ah Myeong Dan (兒明丹) is Chinese patent medicine which is used for congenital fever and congenital boils in Korea. It consists of 11 kinds of powdered crude drugs. In powdered crude drugs, it is hard to identify each component by chemical analysis or morphological examination. However, the method of identification of powdered crude drugs has not been clearly established. Therefore, it is of interest to establish the microscopic method for identification of powdered crude drugs of Chinese patent medicines. The effectiveness of microscopic method is exemplified by the identification of tissue and contents of crude drugs by comparison with standard drugs. In this study, it is demonstrated that the microscopic method is very effective for the identification of 11 crude drug ingredients in Ah Myeong Dan.

To determine the prevalence and the morphological identification of two Eimeria species in fecal examinations, a total of 1092 fecal specimens collected during the period of March to December in 1987 was tested by means of flotation technique. The results obtained were summarized as follow: 1. The prevalence of two species was revealed as 1.83% and 0.92% in E. bukidnonensis and E. wyomingensis, respectively. 2. The oocysts of E. bukidnonensis measured in range of $41.3{\mu}m$ to $49.4{\mu}m(mean\;45.5{\pm}1.7){\times}28.8{\mu}m$ to $35.3{\mu}m(mean\;32.2{\pm}1.2)$, and E. wyomingensis $36.9{\mu}m$ to $44.5{\mu}m(mean\;39.8{\pm}1.7){\times}26.5{\mu}m$ to $29.9{\mu}m(mean\;28.2{\pm}0.9)$. 3. The oocysts of E. bukidnonensis appeared darker and more robust than those of E. wyomingensis. 4. The striations in the oocyst wall of E. bukidnonensis were more peculiar than in E. wyomingensis. 5. Among the morphological characteristic, the widths could be reliably taken as a differential point of view for two Eimeria species.

Objectives : A morphological classification among Sinomenium acutum, Cocculus trilobus and Aristolochia fangchi was made through microscopic observation. Method : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Result : 1. Fiber bundles of pericycle in S. acutum are like a crescent moon, stone cells were found among fiber bundles, and starch grain and raphides of calcium oxalate were included in parenchyma. 2. C. trilobus has the fiber bundle of pericycle resembling a crescent moon, but does not have the raphidesof calcium oxalate. 3. A. fangchi has the raphides of calcium oxalate, but does not have the fiber bundles of pericycle. 4. Stems and roots of S. acutum arc mostly similar, but only stems have the pith. Conclusion :' C. trilobus and A. fangchi can be distinguished from each other by the fiber bundles of pericycle and the raphides of calcium oxalate.

Objectives : Because Ligusticum sinense Root as well as those of Angelica tenuissima Root are sole as Gobon(藁本) in domestic markets, morphological characteristics of them are attempted to be distinguished. Methods : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Results : 1. Angelica tenuissima Root has considerable number of thick roots, but Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root are composed of rhizomes mostly with small roots. 2. Intersection of rhizomes of Angelica tenuissima Root shows a 'V'-like arrangement of xylem vessel. 3. Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root did not show the 'V'-like arrangement, and sliced fiber bundles were found in xylem. 4. There was no difference between Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root. Conclusions : In conclusion, Angelica tenuissima Root, Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root, and Ligusticum jeholense Root show characteristic differences in internal forms, so that it is possible to distinguish them with optical microscope.

This study was undertaken to isolate and to identify a fungal pathogen Monilinia sp. KV-27 associated with apple anthracnose. Rotted Fuji apples were used for the isolation of the fungus. The infected tissues were sterilized with 70% ethanol, washed with sterilized distilled water and were transferred to 50 ml containing potato dextrose broth (PDB) flasks. The peripheral hyphae of the fungal colony which developed from the infected tissues were isolated on to potato dextrose agar (PDA). On PDA plates the fungus grew well at $25^{\circ}C$ and occupied more than half of a 9 cm petri dish within 5 days. The fungal cultures on PDA were used for morphological observation and identification of the fungus. Conidiophores were produced on the gray to whitish sporodochial structures scattered on PDA plates. These conidiophores gave rise to chains of conidia, which were branched and easily detached in water. These structures were dark brown to black and consisted of hyphal masses. Conidia produced on PDA plates were hyline or light colored, lemon shaped or ellipsoidal ($10-13{\times}8.5-11{\mu}m$) in size.

한국 제주도에서 채집된 곰치과(Muraenidae) 엽상자어 2개체 (전장 36.2~69.2 mm)를 대상으로 mtDNA 12S rRNA 724 base pair 염기서열을 분석한 결과, 한국 통영에서 채집된 나망곰치(Gymnothorax minor) 성어와 100% 일치하였다. 나망곰치 엽상자어는 전체 근절수가 137~139개, 등지느러미 앞 근절수가 32개, 항문앞 근절수가 82~86개, 전장에 대한 체고가 10% 이상인 형태적 특징을 나타내었다.

On November 9, 2022, a goatfish (Mullidae) that had not been previously reported in Korea was collected during offshore fisheries resources research near Jeju Island. Based on the morphological identification, this goatfish was identified as the genus Upeneus owing to the presence of palatine teeth and vomerine teeth, as well as the proximal part of anterior part of second dorsal fin. Additionally, through molecular identification, the previously unreported goatfish was identified as U. subvittatus with a 99.8% match in the mtDNA COI region. Goatfish U. subvittatus has no patterns on its body and dark bands on both the lower and upper caudal fins, making it well distinguishable from the four species of genus Upeneus reported in Korea. U. vittatus, reported in Japan, showed morphological differences from U. subvittatus in that the dark band on the lower lobe of the caudal fin was wider, and longitudinal stripes were present on the body. Based on the morphological characteristics of U. subvittatus, we suggest a new Korean name, "Jul-mu-nui-kko-li-chog-su".

In 2016, a severe leaf spot disease was found on Iris ensata Thumb. in Nanjing, China. The symptom was elliptical, fusiform, or irregularly necrotic lesion surrounded by a yellow halo, from which a small-spored Alternaria species was isolated. The fungus was identified as Alternaria iridiaustralis based on morphological characteristics. The pathogenicity tests revealed that the fungus was the causal pathogen of the disease. Phylogenic analyses using sequences of ITS, gpd, endoPG, and RPB2 genes confirmed the morphological identification. This study is the first report of A. iridiaustralis causing leaf spots on I. ensata in China.

Thirty five juveniles belonging to the genus Collichthys were collected using a bag net at Gang-wha-do, in the eastern Yellow Sea, between July and September, 2012, and identified using combined genetic and morphological methods. We sequenced 316 base pairs of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I of 35 individuals, of which 22 individuals were identified as Collichthys niveatus (12.9-47.6 mm in SL) and 13 as Collichthys lucidus (13.4-40.3 mm SL). Morphologically, the number of occipital crests, an important taxonomic character during the adult stage, could not distinguish the two species during the juvenile stage, but the shape of the first anal fin spine clearly distinguished the two species even among juveniles.

Objectives : External form and internal intersection of Phragmites communis were observed by the parts of usage (leaves, stems, and roots). Methods : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Results : 1. The intersection of Phragmitis Folium was typically characterized as Gramineae plants, which was perfectly distinguished with Phragmitis Rhizoma and Phragmitis Caulis. 2. The cortex of Phragmitis Rhizoma has a large rectangular pore space, but Phragmitis Caulis does not. Conclusion : Phragmitis Folium, Phragmitis Caulis, and Phragmitis Rhizoma can be distinguished by microscope.
