Post-harvest decay, caused by Penicillium spp. is a serious problem of fruits worldwide. Morphological characteristics and molecular markers were used to characterize 22 Penicillium isolates from apples, 18 isolates from pears, 60 from oranges and 18 from grapes and 23reference isolates representing related Penicillium spp. to assess their diversity and resolve their taxonomy. Based on morphological and physiological characteristics, the isolates were grouped as identical or very similar to P. digitatum, P. italicum, P. ulaiense or very similar to P. crustosum, P. expansum, P. solitum and unidentified Penicillium spp. Based on sequence comparisons of ITS region, variable site were presented within and among the species, but there variation were not correlated with the species. Cluster analyses of AP-PCR fragment patterns using UP and L45 primer and the -tubulin gene sequence, the Penicillium species were segregated into distinct groups. Particularly. the -tubulin partial sequence data provided support for species concepts based on morphological and physiological characteristics.

In order to elucidate the fungal diversity and community structure in freshwater environments, numerous fungal strains were isolated from freshwater, submerged soils, twigs, dead insects, etc. Among them, the present study has focused specifically on Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces species, which produce diverse useful metabolites in general. Twelve strains of Aspergillus isolated were identified as A. japonicus (n = 5), A. tubingensis (3), A. niger (2), and A. flavus (2), 10 strains of which belong to Aspergillus section Nigri, named black Aspergillus. Eight strains of Penicillium were identified as P. brasilianim (n = 3), P. oxalicum (2), P. crustosum (1), P. expansum (1), and P. piscarium (1). Two different strains of Talaromyces were identified as T. pinophilus and T. versatilis. Thus far, Penicillium piscarium and Talaromyces versatilis have been unrecorded in Korea, for which we provide detailed morphological and molecular characteristics.

Bealmijang is a short-term aged paste made from meju, which is a brick of fermented soybeans and other ingredients. Different types of bealmijang are available depending on the geographic region or ingredients used. However, no study has clarified the microbial diversity of these types. We identified 17 and 14 fungal species from black soybean meju (BSM) and buckwheat meju (BWM), respectively, on the basis of morphology, culture characteristics, and internal transcribed spacer and ${\beta}$-tubulin gene sequencing. In both meju, Aspergillus oryzae, Rhizopus oryzae, Penicillium polonicum, P. steckii, Cladosporium tenuissimum, C. cladosporioides, C. uredinicola, and yeast species Pichia burtonii were commonly found. Moreover, A. flavus, A. niger, P. crustosum, P. citrinum, Eurotium niveoglaucum, Absidia corymbifera, Setomelanomma holmii, Cladosporium spp. and unclassified species were identified from BSM. A. clavatus, Mucor circinelloides, M. racemosus, P. brevicompactum, Davidiella tassiana, and Cladosporium spp. were isolated from BWM. Fast growing Zygomycetous fungi is considered important for the early stage of meju fermentation, and A. oryae and A. niger might play a pivotal role in meju fermentation owing to their excellent enzyme productive activities. It is supposed that Penicillium sp. and Pichia burtonii could contribute to the flavor of the final food products. Identification of this fungal diversity will be useful for understanding the microbiota that participate in meju fermentation, and these fungal isolates can be utilized in the fermented foods and biotechnology industries.

식물성 천연항균제인 자몽종자추출제재(Boatanical antimicrohiagent-grapefruit seed extract mixture : BAAG)의 항균특성을 구명하고, 과채류의 선도유지제로서의 기능과 효능을 입증하기 위하여 BAAG를 조제하여 과채류의 저장, 유통중 발생하는 변패균주, Fuarium solani, Botrytis cinerea Pencilliumcrutosua Ewinia carotovora Phoma destructiva and Alternaria radirina등을 공시균주로 사용하여 Paper disk method에 의한 농도별 항균력을 실험한 결과,변패미생물에 대하여 농도에 비례하여 상당한 항균효과를 보였으며, 또한 생육저해곡선에서는 500 $\mu$g/mL 이상에서 미생물의 생육이 완전히 억제되는 것을 볼수 있었다. 그리고 열 및 pH 안전성에 대해서도 열처리의 온도와 pH 범위에 관계없이 항균력을 보임으로써 열과 pH에 안정한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 항균력에 의한 미생물의 생태변화에 대한 전자현미경적 검사(SEM에서도 항균물질이 미생물 세포벽 또는 세포막의 기능성을 파손하여 삼투기능이 상실됨으로 해서 미생물의 생리가 중단되고 생육이 억제되는 것을 볼 수 있으며, 균체내부에 빈 사멸 균체들이 증대함을 알 수 있었다. 이상의결과로 미루어, BAAG는 항균포장원지 또는 항균포장상자의기능성 소재로 이용될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
