  • Paulowina witches'-broom mycoplasma-like organism (PWB-MLO) was transmitted experimentally to periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus L.) plant by tobacco leaf bug (Cyrtopeltis tenuis Reuter). Adults of the leaf bugs were allowed to feed on the witch's-broom infected paulownia (Paulownia tomentoas Steud.) trees for three weeks to insure the acquisition of PWB-MLO and then transferred to healthy seedlings of periwinkle and paulownia plants. In 25∼35 days after transfer of the viruliferous leaf bugs, six out of the ten periwinkle plants showed‘little-leaf’symptoms, while the paulowina seedlings remained symptomless. Presence of MLO in the infected periwinkle tissue was diagnosed by fluorescence microscopy and MLO particles were observed under electron microscope, confirming the transmission of PWB-MLO to periwinkle.

  • Effects of the inoculum size of testing organism and pH of the plate and the concentration of agar were investigated for the selection of high kasugamycin producing mutants of Streptomyces kasugaensis ATCC 15114. For the detection of high kasugamycin-producing mutants, both concentrations of agar and test organism were optimized at the concentrations of 2% and 0.35 (A$_{550}$), respectively. The pH 7 was optimum for both growing the testing organism, Pseudomonas fluorescens IFO 12180, and for obtaining more promising mutant strains of S. kasugaensis. Under these conditions, mutants had been isolated which, tested later in liquid cultures, gave higher kasugamycin yields than that of the parent strain.

  • During routine survey of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) collected from Tongyoung area in southern coast of Korea, histological examination revealed that a intracellular microorganisms infected the digestive gland of the oyster. They infected hepatopancreatic cells extensively. The size of intracellular microorganism was of 45 to 86nm in diameter and 200nm to more thar 500nm in length. They were pleomorphic. The morphological characteristic of intracellular microorganisms lacked cell wall and was bounded by the plasma membrane. They contained typical prokaryotic ribosomes and fibrillar DNA-like strands. No additional internal structure has been observed. Based on the lack of cell wall and the cellular localization, the intracellular microorganism is considered as a Mycoplasma-like organism.

  • This study found out the consumers' awareness and information-seeking behaviors towards Genetically Modified Organism(GMO). Data were collected from 506 adults in Seoul, Daegu, and Busan by the self-administered questionnaire. Frequencies, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted by SPSS Windows. The resets of this study were as follows: (1) the concerns and the need for information about GMO were high, but recognition was low, (2) the factor affecting the need for information about GMO was the concerns about GMO, and (3) sex, age, the need for information about GMO, and subscription experience of consumer journals were the factors affecting the information-seeking behaviors.

  • This paper investigates the flow field and organism concentration in a UV disinfection channel in which vertical ultraviolet lamps are arranged in a staggered configuration. Turbulence is described by low Reynolds number ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, respectively. P-1 method has been employed to solve the radiative transfer equation. The obtained incident radiation is used to compute the inactivation term in the species equation. The CFD results are in good agreement with the existing experimental data for the UV channel. For the flow field, the low-Reynolds number ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model is superior to the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model. The approach velocity has a significant effect on the disinfection efficiency. The organism concentration at the outlet decreases fast to a low inlet velocity.

  • 1. In the present experiment, necrotic myocarditis were produced only in suckling mice but also in weanlings or young adult mice by intraperitoneal inoculation with the Tyzzer's organism KK of cat origin, whereas the organism MSK from the mouse was not capable of producing such lesions. 2. Significant difference in pathogenicity for 1-to 6-week-old mice was demonstrable between the two organisms after intraperitoneal inoculation without cortisone.

  • Hydrate minerals are contain H$_2$O to offer a place for our health and life of living organism. I wish to present a hypothesis to explain the mechanism on which every living organism survives, gets sick and recovers again Hydrate minerals are the very prerequisite for all animals and the welfare of mankinds. Hydrate minerals are used to the main medical stuffs, the meterials for water purification and porous meterials for bio-ceramic and bio-plastic industries

  • A refined version of automatic micro-organism recognition and identification method, 'O.I.S.M.2' is proposed in this paper, using image processing based on an expert system. This proposed method is based on the segmentation of the organism image, characterizing segment features, which are independent of individual size and length. Complicated shapes of organisms are divided into basic shape segments defined in this paper such as lines, circles, ovals etc. Organisms can then be expressed simply in a set of segments, regardless their individual differences.

  • Nutritional requirements for the growth of Cellulomonas flavigena were studied. C. flavigena grew well on cellulose when 0.005% or more of yeast extract was present in the growth medium. The growth factor in yeast extrct was, in part, thiamine and biotin. Amino acids had little effect on the growth on the organism. The extent of growth on yeast extract was much higher than that obtained on those vitamins, which indicates the presence of growth factors in yeast extract besides the vitamins, among the carbohydrates tested, the organism grew best on glucose and galactose, and the optimum N/P ratio was within the range of 0.75~3.17.
