In this paper, a rapid and reliable gene-targeted species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique based on a two-step process was established to identify bifidobacteria in dairy products. The first step was the PCR assay for genus Bifidobacterium with genus specific primers followed by the second step, which identified the species level with species-specific primer mixtures. Ten specific primer pairs, designed from nucleotide sequences of the 16-23S rRNA region, were developed for the Bifidobacterium species including B. angulatum, B. animalis, B. bifidum, B. breve, B. catenulatum, B. infantis, B. longum, B. minimum, B. subtile, and B. thermophilum. This technique was applied to the identification of Bifidobacterium species isolated from 6 probiotic products, and four different Bifidobacterium spp. (B. bifidum, B. longum, B. infantis, and B. breve) were identified. The findings indicated that the 16S-23S rDNA gene-targeted species-specific PCR technique is a simple and reliable method for identification of bifidobacteria in probiotic products. PCR combined with Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) for identification of the bifidobacteria was also evaluated and compared with the gene-targeted species-specific technique. Results indicated that for fermented milk products consistency was found for both species-specific PCR and PCR-DGGE in detecting species. However, in some lyophilized products, the bands corresponding to these species were not visualized in the DGGE profile but the specific PCR gave a positive result.

An analysis of RAPD-PCR (random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction) was performed with three Angelica species (A. gigas Nakai, A. sinensis (Olive.) Diels and A. acutiloba Kitag) in an effort to distinguish between members of these three species. Two arbitrary primers (OPC02, OPD11) out of80 primers tested, produced 17 species-specific fragments among the three species. Eight fragments were specific for A. sinensis, four fragments specific for A. gigas, five specific for A. acutiloba. When primers OPC02 and OPD11 were used in the polymerase chain reaction, RAPD-PCR fragments that were specific for each of the three species were generated simultaneously. Primer OPC02 produced eight species-specific fragments: four were specific for A. sinensis, one for A. gigas, and three for A. acutiloba. Primer OPD11 produced nine speciesspecific fragments: four for A. sinensis, three for A. gigas, and two for A. acutiloba. The RAPD-PCR markers that were generated with these two primers should rapidly identify members of the three Angelica species. The consistency of the identifications made with these species-specific RAPD-PCR markers was demonstrated by the observation that each respective marker was generated from three accessions of each species, all with different origins. We also performed the RAPD-PCR analysis with the dried Angelica root samples that randomly collected from marketed and from the OPC02 primer, obtained a A. gigasspecific band and the band were cloned and sequenced.

국제 무역 및 전세계 수산물 소비의 증가로 인해 다양한 수산물이 국내로 수입되어 유통되고 있다. 최근 수입 수산물의 종명 및 원산지 표시사항을 허위로 기재하는 경우가 급증하여 식품안전성에 심각한 문제가 야기되고 있다. 불법적으로 유통되는 수산물의 안전관리를 위해 DNA 기반 기술을 이용한 종 판별법 마련이 시급하다. 본 연구에서는 전세계적으로 중요한 대형선망어업 어종 중 하나인 전갱이속 어류의 종을 판별하기 위해 duplex-PCR을 사용한 검출 방법을 개발하였다. 국내에 유통되는 T. japonicus과 T. novaezelandiae의 시료를 확보하여 COI 영역의 염기서열 분석을 통하여 종간 특이성을 나타내는 단일염기다형성 유전자를 탐색하였으며, PCR 증폭 산물의 크기를 고려하여 2개의 종 특이적인 정방향 primer를 설계하였다. Duplex-PCR 분석 결과, T. japonicus (103 bp), T. novaezelandiae (214 bp)와 같은 단일 밴드를 전기영동상에서 확인 할 수 있었으며 상호간의 비 특이적 밴드는 형성되지 않았다. 또한 duplex-PCR 방법을 통한 T. japonicus과 T. novaezelandiae에서 최저 $0.01ng/{\mu}l$까지 검출됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 duplex-PCR 분석법을 이용한 전갱이속 어류의 종 판별법은 정확도와 민감도가 우수하여 수산물의 수출입 및 시중에 불법적으로 유통 가능성이 있는 제품을 신속하고 과학적으로 판별할 수 있어 수산물안전관리에 활용도가 매우 클 것으로 기대된다.

참조기는 민어과에 속하는 우리나라의 중요한 산업 어종 중 하나이다. 최근 과도한 남획과 해양 환경의 변화로 참조기의 어획량이 줄어들자 일부 유통과정에서 유사어종인 부세, 흑조기 및 긴가이석태를 참조기로 둔갑시키는 사례가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 종 특이 primer를 사용하여 참조기, 부세, 흑조기 및 긴가이석태를 신속하게 분석할 수 있는 방법을 마련하였다. 약 1,400 bp의 미토콘드리아 COI 유전자 분석을 통하여 종간 특이성을 나타내는 단일염기다형성 유전자를 탐색하였으며, PCR 증폭산물의 크기를 고려하여 4개의 종특이적 정방향 primer를 제작하였다. 단일 PCR을 이용한 종간 교차반응을 통하여 최적의 PCR 조건을 확립하였으며, 이후 제작된 4개의 정방향 primer를 혼합하여 4종에 대한 다중 PCR 반응을 진행하였다. 증폭된 산물은 전기영동을 통해 크기에 따라 1,540 bp, 1,013 bp, 470 bp 그리고 182 bp로 분리되었으며, 각각 참조기, 흑조기, 부세, 긴가이석태로 명확하게 판별이 가능하였다. PCR 민감도 측정에서도 모든 종에서 $0.1ng/{\mu}l$의 농도까지 검출 가능함을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발된 참조기와 유사어종에 대한 종특이 다중 PCR 분석법은 정확도와 민감도가 우수하여, 불법 유통가능성이 있는 제품에 대한 신속하고 정확한 판별로 식품안전관리에 효과적으로 활용될 것이라 사료된다.

Fusarium species, a large group of plant pathogens, potentially pose quarantine concerns worldwide. Here, we focus on the development of a method for detecting four Fusarium species in quarantined plants in Korea: F. solani f. sp. cucurbitae, F. stilboides, F. redolens, and F. semitectum var. majus. Species-specific primers were designed from the nucleotide sequences of either the translation elongation factor-1 alpha (TEF1) gene or RNA polymerase II subunit (RPB2) gene. Two different primer sets derived from TEF1, all specific to F. solani f. sp. cucurbitae, were able to differentiate the two races (1 and 2) of this species. A set of nested primers for each race was designed to confirm the PCR results. Similarly, two primer sets derived from RPB2 successfully amplified specific fragments from five F. stilboides isolates grouped within a single phylogenetic clade. A specific TEF1 primer set amplified a DNA fragment from only four of the 12 F. redolens strains examined, which were grouped within a single phylogenetic clade. All of the F. semitectum var. majus isolates could be specifically detected with a single RPB2 primer set. The specificity of the primer sets developed here was confirmed using a total of 130 Fusarium isolates.

P. endodontalis which was known to be associated with the infected root canals and periapical lesions is very difficult to detect by culture methods or traditional methods. Detection of bacteria using polymerase chain reaction(PCR) for 16S ribosomal DNA(rDNA) is fast, simple, and accurate with relatively small amount of target cells. 16S rDNA consist of conserved regions those are same to all species, and variable regions which represent species specificity. The 16S rDNA sequences of P. endodontalis and P. gingivalis were aligned and two highly variable regions were selected as a pair of species specific oligonucleotide primers for P. endodontalis. And then the pair of primers for PCR amplification was synthesized to identify P. endodontalis. The sequences of the species specific primers for the 16S rDNA of P. endodontalis were as follows ; sense primer[endo1]: 5'-CTATATTCTTCTTTCTCCGCATGGAGGAGG-3' antisense primer[endo2]: 5'-GCATACCTTCGGTCTCCTCTAGCATAT-3' In this study, for the identification of P. endodontalis without culture from the mixed clinical samples, PCR was done with species specific primers for the 16S rDNA sequences of P. endodontalis. The results were as follows : 1. The species specificity of the primers for the 16S rDNA of P. endodntalis was determined by the PCR methods. About 490bp amplicon which was specific only for P. endodntalis was produced with P. endodontalis. No amplicon was produced by PCR with other strains similar to P. endodontalis. 2. The synthesized species specific primers reacted with conventionally identified P. endodontalis which we have in conservative dentistry laboratory. 3. The identification of P. endodontalis using PCR technique with samples collected from infected root canals or periapical lesions was more sensitive than that of culture methods. 4. Seven samples revealed including P. endodontalis by PCR technique. Five of them were related with pains, two of them with sinus tract, three of them with foul odor, and three of them with purulent drainage. P. endodontalis was shown to have great relation with pains.

Plasmodiophora brassicae는 십자화과 작물에 뿌리혹병을 일으키는 주요 병원균이다. 본 연구에서는 뿌리혹병균의 신속 정확한 검출을 위해서 뿌리혹병균에 대한 새로운 종 특이적 프라이머를 개발하고자 하였다. 새롭게 개발된 프라이머들은 10종의 주요 토양병원균을 비롯하여 기주인 배추 DNA와는 반응하지 않고 P. brassicae와만 반응하는 특이성을 갖고 있었다. 그 가운데 Primer ITS1-1/1-2는 민감도 검정 결과, 10 spores/ml의 DNA까지 검출이 가능함으로써, first round PCR용임에도 불구하고 이전의 검출법 보다 감도가 높고 정확한 결과를 얻었다. Quantitative real-time PCR로 분석할 경우에는 더 적은 수의 포자까지 안정적으로 검출해 낼 수 있어 새로운 P. brassicae 종 특이적 프라이머로서의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we developed a species-specific PCR assay for rapid and accurate detection of three Xanthomonas species, X. axonopodis pv. poinsettiicola (XAP), X. hyacinthi (XH) and X. campestris pv. zantedeschiae (XCZ), based on their draft genome sequences. XAP, XH and XCZ genomes consist of single chromosomes that contain 5,221, 4,395 and 7,986 protein coding genes, respectively. Species-specific primers were designed from variable regions of the draft genome sequence data and assessed by a PCR-based detection method. These primers were also tested for specificity against 17 allied Xanthomonas species as well as against the host DNA and the microbial community of the host surface. Three primer sets were found to be very specific and no amplification product was obtained with the host DNA and the microbial community of the host surface. In addition, a detection limit of $1pg/{\mu}l$ per PCR reaction was detected when these primer sets were used to amplify corresponding bacterial DNAs. Therefore, these primer sets and the developed species-specific PCR assay represent a valuable, sensitive, and rapid diagnostic tool that can be used to detect three specific pathogens at early stages of infection and may help control diseases.

This study aimed to develop Lautropia mirabilis-specific quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) primers based on the sequence of DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit beta gene. The PrimerSelect program was used in designing of the qPCR primers, RTLam-F4 and RTLam-R3. The specificity of the qPCR primers were performed by conventional PCR with 37 strains of 37 oral bacterial species, including L. mirabilis. The sensitivity of the primers was determined by qPCR with the serial dilution of purified genomic DNA of L. mirabilis KCOM 3484, ranged from 4 ng to 4 fg. The data showed that the qPCR primers could detect only L. mirabilis strains and as little as 40 fg of genome DNA of L. mirabilis KCOM 3484. These results indicate that this qPCR primer pair (RTLam-F4/RTLam-R3) may be useful for species-specific detection of L. mirabilis in epidemiological studies of oral bacterial infectious diseases such as periodontal disease.
