재첩은 하구생태계에 서식하는 종으로, 우리나라에는 섬진강 하구에서 가장 많이 분포하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 섬진강 하구에 서식하는 재첩은 담수와 해수생태계의 변화를 잘 반영하는 종이다. 재첩은 외부형태만으로는 종 동정이 어려운 분류군에 속한다. 본 연구에서는 섬진강 서식 재첩의 종 동정을 위해 형태적 관찰뿐만 아니라 미토콘드리아 DNA의 COI 유전자 기반 DNA 바코딩을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과 재첩 간 다른 두 종을 확인하였으며, COI 염기서열의 다중배열 분석결과 약 98%의 높은 상동성을 보였다. 재첩과 내 다양한 종들과 계통수 분석으로 계통유 전학적 위치를 확인한 결과, 본 연구에서 사용한 재첩은 C. japonica, C. fluminea와 하나의 계통군으로 묶여졌고 진화적 거리는 0.003 이하로 나타났다. 또한 재첩속인 C. leana와 0.089, C. fluminalis와 0.096으로, 재첩과 내 3종과는 약 0.2로 C. japonica에 비해 상대적으로 진화적 거리가 먼 것으로 나타났다. 계통유전학적 분석을 통해 본 연구에서 사용한 재첩은 C. japonica이고, 그중 한 개체가 C. fluminea인 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 DNA 바코딩을 이용한 섬진강 하류 지역에 서식하는 재첩의 COI 시컨스를 통해 계통유전학적 정보를 제공하여 형태학적 분석에 어려움이 있는 종에 대한 중요한 자료로 활용될 것이다.

Bacillus species were isolated from iru, a traditional fermented condiment in Nigeria. Polyphasic approach was used to evaluate the phylogenetic relationship and strain sub-type of the isolated species. Additionally, the phylogenetic profiles of the species isolated from iru were compared with those of bacilli isolated from different continents. The phylogenetic diversity analysis was performed using the combination of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, ITS-PCR, ITS-PCR-RFLP, and M13 RAPD-PCR. The analysis revealed that Bacillus subtilis U170B and B. subtilis U146A isolated from iru were the closest relatives of strains belonging to the phylogeny of B. subtilis sensu stricto and were related to other bacilli isolated from different continents that had functional benefits. The two isolated species exhibited resistance to acidic pH (pH 2.0). The survival rates of B. subtilis U170B, B. subtilis U146A, and B. clausii UBBC-07 (commercial probiotic strain) cultured at pH 2.0 for 3 h were 33.45, 12.44, and 9.53%, respectively. The strains were highly tolerant to bile salts [0.3% (w/v)]. B. subtilis U170B exhibited the highest cell viability (43.45%) when cultured for 3 h in the presence of bile salts, followed by B. subtilis U146A (25%) and B. clausii UBBC-07 (18.94%). B. subtilis U170B and B. subtilis U146A did not exhibit haemolytic activity and were susceptible to different antibiotics. Additionally, these two strains exhibited weak antagonistic activity against B. cereus. The diverse wild strains of B. subtilis can be used as a safe multifunctional starter culture for the industrial production of condiments with health benefits.

DNA extracted from ancient bones of Cervidae animals was examined to identify the species and to determine the phylogenetic relationships to those from extant cervids. Abundant ancient bones were excavated from Kumsung archaeological site in Jeju Island, Korea, and were identified as Cervidae animals based on morphological features of their antlers and lower mandibles. Their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region (CR) was partially sequenced and subsequently compared with those previously reported in database. The results confirmed that the ancient sequences are lineage of Cervidae. On the phylogenetic trees constructed using the sequence diversity of the CR sequences of family Cervidae, the ancient DNA sequences were found on distinct clusters. The ancient sequences were located in the subfamily Capreolinae cluster, and six ancient sequences were closely related to those of extant Korean roe deer in Jeju Island and Korean Peninsula. Consequently, the results of this study suggest that the roe deer inhabited Jeju Island in ancient times. However, there is no evidence for the existence of subfamily Cervinae, including Sika deer, while it has been described in several historical records. The results suggest that this finding could contribute to understanding of the origin and phylogenetic relationships of extant and ancient roe deer on Jeju Island.

Toxoplasma gondii is a eukaryotic parasite of the phylum Apicomplexa, which infects all warm-blood animals, including humans. In the present study, we examined sequence variation in dense granule 20 (GRA20) genes among T. gondii isolates collected from different hosts and geographical regions worldwide. The complete GRA20 genes were amplified from 16 T. gondii isolates using PCR, sequence were analyzed, and phylogenetic reconstruction was analyzed by maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. The results showed that the complete GRA20 gene sequence was 1,586 bp in length among all the isolates used in this study, and the sequence variations in nucleotides were 0-7.9% among all strains. However, removing the type III strains (CTG, VEG), the sequence variations became very low, only 0-0.7%. These results indicated that the GRA20 sequence in type III was more divergence. Phylogenetic analysis of GRA20 sequences using MP and ML methods can differentiate 2 major clonal lineage types (type I and type III) into their respective clusters, indicating the GRA20 gene may represent a novel genetic marker for intraspecific phylogenetic analyses of T. gondii.

ITS2 부위를 시퀀싱하여 Pseudo-nitzschia delcatissima, P. multiseries, P. pungens, P. subfraudulenta 상호간의 유전자 다양도를 조사함과 아울러 RAPD-PCR pattern을 이용하여 유사도를 구하였다. 유전자 거리를 근거로 했을 때 P. delicatissima 종은 P. multiseries와 P. pungens와는 유전적 거리가 상당히 요원하였고, 심지어 P. subfraudenlta와도 거리를 보였다. 유사도의 경 P. multiseries와 P. pungens는 0.31로 보인 반면에, P delicatissima는 다른 세종과 0.81를 나타내었다. 따라서 P. delicatissima 종은 P. multiseries, P. pungens, P. subfraudulenta와는 유전적으로 밀접하지 않는 관계로 보였다. ITS2부위는 Pseudo-nitzschia 동정에 사용될 수 있는 유용한 도구로 보이며 형태적으로 구분할 수 없는 P. multiseries와 P. pungens을 구분할 수 있다. 또한 RAPD-PCR 방법도 단시간에 Pseudo-nitzchia을 분리시키는데 사용될 것으로 보인다.

Pleurotus eryngii, known as king oyster mushroom has been widely used for nutritional and medicinal purposes. This study was initiated to screen the suitable conditions for mycelial growth and to determine the phylogenetic relationship of the selected strains. Optimal mycelial growth was observed at $30{^{\circ}C}$ and minimum mycelial growth observed at $10{^{\circ}C}$. This mushroom tolerates a broad pH range for mycelial growth, with most favorable growth observed at pH 6. Results also indicated that glucose peptone, yeast malt extract and mushroom complete media were favorable growth media, while Hennerberg and Hoppkins media were unfavorable. Dextrin was the best and xylose the least effective carbon sources. Results revealed that inorganic nitrogen sources were less effective than organic sources for the mycelial growth of P. eryngii. Investigation of genetic diversity is necessary to identify the strains. The ITS region of rDNA were amplified using PCR. The size of the ITS1 and ITS2 regions of rDNA from the different strains varied from 214 to 222 bp and 145 to 236 bp, respectively. The sequence of ITS2 was more variable than that of ITS1, and the 5.8S sequences were identical. A phylogenetic tree based on the ITS region sequences indicated that selected strains could be classified into six clusters. Fourteen IUM and ATCC- 90212 strains were also analyzed by RAPD with 20 arbitrary primers. Fourteen of these primers were efficiently amplified the genomic DNA. The number of amplified bands varied with the primers and strains, with polymorphic fragments in the range from 0.2 to 2.3 kb.

The Korean populations of Z. marina are typically distributed in patches. Although molecular and biochemical approaches are now increasingly being applied to address the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships within the animals, plants, and other algal species in Korea (Huh 1998; Hwang et at. 1998; Huh 2001), no population genetic studies of this species have been conducted.

In 2022, our investigation focused on exploring the macrofungal diversity in South Korea. Through the examination of morphological characteristics and ITS sequences of the rDNA, we successfully identified four unrecorded species (Laccaria striatula, Leotia atrovirens, Malvipezia emileia, Xerula strigosa). Detailed morphological descriptions, accompanied by photographs and molecular phylogenetic analyses were performed.

We present here an in silico search of fungal sterol-esterase/lipase and bacterial depolymerase sequences from environmental metagenomes. Both enzyme types contain the α/β-hydrolase protein fold. Analysis of DNA conserved motifs, protein homology search, phylogenetic analysis, and protein 3D modeling have been used, and the efficiency of these screening strategies is discussed. The presence of bacterial genes in the metagenomes was higher than those from fungi, and the sequencing depth of the metagenomes seemed to be crucial to allow finding enough diversity of enzyme sequences. As a result, a novel putative PHA-depolymerase is described.
