Five dictyostelid cellualr slime molds were found in forests of Pinus densiflora and Quercus mongolica in Mt. Surak, uijeongbu, Kyunggi-do, South Korea. isolates were Polysphondylium pallidum, Dictystelium firibasis, D. crassicaule, P. tennuissimum and D. valenstemmum. Dominant soecies was P. pallidum. This species had occurred widely in South Korea as well as in the world. Especially, new dictyostelid, D. valenstemmum shim et Chang, was found in the fermentation layer of P. densiflora and Q. mongolica mixed-forest soils. D. firmibasis had not been described until now and found in the mountain forests.

Dictyostelid cellular slime molds were quantitatibly isolated from the soils of mt.halla (above 900m in altitude), korea, according to the 'clonal isolation technique(cavender and raper, 1965a)'. Total fifteen species were found, including 1 new and 6 undescribed species.these are dictyostelium mucorodes, dictostelium minutem,polysphondylium pallidum fasciculatum, polysphondylium violaceum, dictyostelium flavidum,dictyostelium fasciculatum, polysphondylium violaceum, dictyostelium flavidum sp. n.(HL-1),dictyostelium aureo-stipes var. aureo-stipes, dictyostelium capitatum, dictyostelium giganteum,dictyostelium polycephalum,dictyostelium brefeldianum,dictyostelium macrocephalum, and dictyostelium sphaerocephalum, dictyostelium sp. (HL-2), dictyostelium sp. (CJ-9). D. mucoroides was the dominant species, and D. minutam,p.pallidum, d. fasciculatum, and p. violaceum were relatively common. d. polycephalum, d. brefeldianum, d. macrocephalum, dictyostelium sp. (HL-3), and d. sphaerocephalum were very rare. Species diversity appeared to be the highest in the deciduous broad-leaved forest from the soils of which 14 species were isolated. eight species were, including five undescribed species, isolated only from this forest soils. Number of isolates severely decrease at the forests above 1,500m in altitude.

Fourteen different taxa of dictyostelid cellular slime molds were recovered from the alpine and subalpine zone in Mt. Paektu. In subalpine zone, six species were recovered : Dictyostelium minutum, D. brefeldianum, D. crassicaule, D. capitatum, Polysphondylium solitarium and P. pallidum. One of these species which were isolated from the soils of Larix olgensis community exhibited several distinctive features which differed from the published species. This species was designated as a new species, Polysphondylium solitarium Kang et Chang, sp. nov. When cultivated at 22~24$^{\circ}C$ on low-nutrient agar media with Escherichia coli, Polysphondylium solitarium is distinguishable from other species by the following combination of features: (ⅰ) the sorocarps with vinaceous pigmentation; (ⅱ) pseudoplasmodia radial. usually centralized and rarely subdivided; (ⅲ) the various number of whorls; (ⅳ) the spores with unconsolidated and nonconspicuous polar granules. Also, we confirmed this new species by analyzing ribosomal DNA (ITS1, ITS2 and 5.8s DNA) sequences of P. solitarium and P. violaceum.

An investigation of occurrence and distribution of dictyostelid cellular slime molds in South Korea were carried out. Thirty-one dictyostelid cellular slime molds were isolated from soils of 256 sample sites of 41 area within mountain forests, riversides, streamsides and coastal area in South Korea. The average number of species isolated at a given study area was 6.85. Based on the distribution value calculated from average frequency and site presence, four dictyostelid species distributed widely in South Korea; Polyspondylium pallidum, P violaceum, Dictyostellium mucoroides and D. minutum. Especially, P pallidum. were found in 30 area and the highest site presence. Eight dictyostelid species was described firstly in this study: D areum var. luteolum, D. delicatum, D. deminutivum, D. implicatum, D. microsporum, D. mucoroides var. stoloniferum, D septentrionalis, and P. candidum.

The dominant species were P. pallidum, D. brefeldiamum, P. pseudo-candidum and D. dimigraformum were the undescribed species in Korea. Environmental factors such as soil pH, water content, organic content, total nitrogen and total phosphorus made a little effect on total species number, the number of clones.

Dictyostelid cellular slime molds were isolated from soils and harks of the subtropical forest of Torreya nucifera in Cheju island. The results were as follows: Polysphondylium pallidum,Dictyostelium purpureum, D. mucoroides, D. aureo-stipes var. aureo-stipes, D. flavidum, D. miniutum, P.violaceu m, D. monocrhasioides. D. brefeldianum, D. polvcephalum. D. areum var. areum, P. tenuissimum, D. fasciculatum. In this forest, P. pallidum and D. purpureum were occurred dominantly, and D. mucoroides and D. aureo-stipes var, aureo-stipes were the second dominant. It was distinguished that D. purpureum was much more cornmonly found than the other forests. Cellular slime molds from the barks of the tree heights of 1,3 and 5m were occured 7, 3 and 2 species respectively. Torreya fruit extract affected on the growth of D. aureo-stipes var. aureo-stipes and D. flavidum but not on D. purpureum and D. mucoroides. Key words: Cellular slime mold, Torreya forest, Torreya fruit extract.

종 내의 클론 상호작용은 개체군 구조에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 클론간의 경쟁에 의해 개체군 내에서 진화적 변화가 일어날 수 있는 가를 조사하고, 균일한 실험실 배양 조건에서 어떻게 다양한 클론이 진화하는지를 밝히고자 하였다. 자원소비율과 교배형이 다른 Polysphondylium pallidum의 클론들이 선택되었다. 실험은 T0에서 T4까지 4번의 시간 간격을 두고 시행되었다. 접종 후 자실체를 수확할 때까지의 한 번의 실험기간은 10~14일 정도 소요되었다. T0의 50개의 클론으로부터 일련의 실험기간 T1, T2, T3, T4에서 50 클론이 두 세트씩 만들어졌다. 개체군들의 자원소비율 변동은 T0와 두세트의 T4 클론들간에 비교되었다. 각 클론은 실험 시작 후 48~56세대가 지난 후에도 균일하고 제한된 Cerophyl 배지 환경에서 다양한 자원 소비율 즉, 다양한 생장율을 보였다. 생장율이 다른 다양한 클론은 서식처가 이질적인 토양 미세 환경 뿐만 아니라 한 장소의 균질한 배양 접시 속에서도 공존 할 수 있었다. 높은 클론 다양성은 한 개체군내의 클론에서 다른 클론을 만날 기회를 제공해 주었고 개체군내의 클론 경쟁이 활발히 일어났다. T0에서 T4까지의 총 실험 기간동안 교배형 I이었던 37개의 클론중에서 한 개체군의 31개가 교배형 II로 바뀌어 클론간에 일어난 경쟁배타율은 0.838이었다. 각 교배형의 출현 빈도는 연속적인 다음 세대마다 0.93~1.29% 만큼 바뀌었다. 2.6X108밀도의 박테리아를 먹이로 제공해 준 실험실 환경에서 한 세대가 지날 때 마다 한 클론에서 다른 클론으로 변화하는 진화적 변화확률이 1.26~1.75%라는 것을 의미한다.

A study of occurrence and distribution of cellular slime molds(CSMs) in forest soils of central areas of Korea was carried out. Samples for CSMs isolation were collected from 4 study sites; Mt.Kyeryong, Mt. Taebaek, Mt. Sobaek and Mt. Sokri. In Mt. Kyeryong, six species were found. These were Dictyostelium fasciculatum, D.firmibasis, D. mucoroides, D. minutum, D. brefeldianum and Polysphondylium pallidum. The average number of species isolated at one site was 0.75, and average density(clones /g soil) was 292. The results of soil sample analyses were that the concentration of Pb was higher than any other areas. In Mt. Taebaek, seven species were found; D. fasciculatum, D.firmibasis, D. mucoroides, D. miuutum, P.pallidum. P. violaceum, P. candidum. The average number of species isolated at one site was 2.3,and average density was 1,108. Based on importance values calculated from study sites within each of three elevation ranges, several of the more widely distributed and abundant species have distribution patterns that show a response to elevation. In Mt. Sobaek, eleven species were found. These were D. fasciculatum. D.firmibasis, D. mucoroides, D. miuutum, D. brefeldianum, D. crassicaule,D. deminutivum, D. implicatum, P. pallidum. P. violaceum and P. candidum. The average number of species isolated at one site was 3, and average density was 793. Species diversity appeared to be the highest in this area. In Mt. Sokri, six species were found. These were D. fasciculatum. D. mucoroides, D. minutum, D. purpureum, P. pallidum. and P. violaceum. The average number of species isolated at one site was 2.4 and average density was 858. It was noticeable that D.purpureum were much more comrnonly found in this pinus evergreen forest. Key words: Cellular slime molds(CSMs), Importance value, Elevation, Average number of species, Average density.

The occurrence and distribution of Dictyostelid cellular slime molds on Mt. Mukak soils with two different vegetation types were investigated. Two plating methods were used for the isolation of dictyostelids following Dr. Hagiwara's method. Dictyostelium and Polysphondylium were isolated in these soils. D. purpureum (subtropical form ) and D. giganteum were observed in both Quercus variabilis and Pinus thunbergii communities soils. D. delicatum, B. sp-1 (D. brefeldianum complex). D. sp-2 (D. brefeldianum complex), D. minutum and P. pallidum complex occurred only in Q. variabilis soil. D. macrocephalum, D. purpureum (temperate form ), D. robustum, D. polycephalum, P. violaceum, and P. pallidium occurred only in P. thunbergii soil. P. pallidium complex is being identified.
