서해 금강하구 오식도 부근의 조간대와 조하대역에서 식물플랑크톤의 종별 양적 분포 및 일차생산력과 bacterioplankton(부유박테리아)의 균체수 분포를 1987년 8월부터 1988년 7월 사이에 11회에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 규조류 102종을 포함하여 식물플랑크톤은 총 121 종류를 확인하였고 양적으로는 15-5451 cells/ml 범위였는데, 이들의 시공간적 변화에는 조간대와 조하대의 환경특성 차이가 잘 나타나 있었다. 식물플랑크톤의 일차생산력 (Piopt, mgC/$m^3$/hr)은 0.6-27.32의 범위로서 현존량이 높은 시기와 일차생산력이 높은 시기가 반드시 일치하지는 않았다. 춘계 대번식 후의 4월 조간대역 정점에서는 Piopt와 amylolytic bacterioplankton의 균체수가 모두 극히 낮았다. 정점간 Piopt 비율의 변화에도 역시 조간대와 조하대 역의 환경차이가 잘 나타났다. 식물플랑크톤 현존량과 총 종속영양세균(heterotrophic bacterioplankton) 및 생리적 특성별 bacterioplankton군, 즉 전분분해(amylolytic), 단백질분해(proteolytic) 및 지방분해(lipolytic) 세균과의 관계에는 뚜렷한 경향성이 나타나지 않았으나, 강우량이 집중된 7, 8월에는 각 bacterioplankton의 균체수가 매우 높은 반면 식물플랑크톤의 현존량은 연중 가장 낮아 외래유입(allochthonous) 유기물의 양이 많았음을 시사하였다. 측정된 총 종속영양성 bacterioplankton 및 생리적 특성별 bacterioplankton의 균체수와 Piopt 와의 관계로부터 조사해역에 유입되는 외래성 유기물의 함량 특성을 추정할 수 있었다. 즉, 전분분해 세균과 지방분해 세균은 Piopt와 높은 상관성 (각기 $R^2$값이 0.84 및 0.70) 을 보여 이들이 수중 식물플랑크톤(autochthonous)의 유기물 생산과 직접 관련됨을 알 수 있었고, 단백질분해 세균이나 총 종속영양세균의 분포는 Piopt와 뚜렷한 상관성이 없어 외래유입 유기물 (강수유입, 저층으로부터의 resuspension 등)에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다. 회귀 직선의 기울기로부터 조사 역에서는 Piopt 1mgC/$m^3$/hr 증가당 전분분해 세균이 $9.0{\times}10$ cells/ml, 지방분해세균은$8.0{\times}10$ cells/ml 씩 균체수가 증가하는 것으로 계산되었다.

A percoll density gradient technique was developed for producing high quality turkey semen and improving the fertility by removing deleterious cellular components, including spermiophages, bacteria, abnormal or dead spermatozoa, and other cellular debris. The combination of three different percoll densities, 1.05, 1.07, and 1.08 showed the best resolution and was selected to prepare a discontinuous percoll density gradient to obtain healthy spermatozoa from semen smples. Bacteria, spermiophages, and abnormal or dead spermatozoa were detected from the density range from 1.05, 1.05 to 1.07, and 1.07 to 1.08, respectively. Healthy spermatozoa were collected from the density greater than 1.08. Spermatozoa obtained from percoll density gradient centrifugation showed better sperm motility than those from unprocessed pooled semen. Bacteria including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Proteus spp., were predominant contaminants in turkey semen, and the numbers of cells were approximately $5{\times}10^5$ to $1{\times}10^9cfu/ml$. The overall fertility rates in hens inseminated with processed percoll density gradient were higher than those in hens with unprocessed semen especially for unhealthy sperm. In conclusion, semen quality can be improved by percoll density gradient centrifugation, which augmented the fertility of turkey breeders.

북한강 수계의 지류인 수동천에서 1986년 7월부터 1987년 3월까지 4개의 정점으로부터 종속영양 세균의 크기와 생리적 활성도를 조사하였다. 총 세균수는 0.8-$25.2\times 10^{5}$ cells/ml의 범위를 나타냈으며, 글루코오즈 흡수능 $V_{max}$은 0.006-24.39mg-C/l/hr의 변화폭을 보여주었다. 계절적인 분포에 있어서 $V_{max}$값은 여음에 높고, 겨울에 낫은 뚜렷한 계절적 양상이 판찰 되었으나 콜로니 생성균 수의 변화는 특정적 양상을 볼 수 없었다. 지역적으로는 인간활동의 영향을 거의 받지 않는 상류 정점에서 세균수와 생리적 활성도가 가장 낮으며, 유기 오염물질이 대량 유입되는 쟁점을 제외하고는 유사한 수푼을 나타내어 이러한 유입 현상이 전 수동천 생태계의 세균 군집의 크기 및 생리적 활성도의 변화에 가장 중요한 요인으로 작용함이 관찰되었다.

The distribution and annual variation of detergent-degrading bacteria which were isolated from the Han River downstream running through the center of Seoul area were studied. The concentration of dissolved detergent was the lowest, 2.16 ppm at site 1 and it was gradually increased to downstream, the highest, 2.67 ppm at site 4. Population density of detergent degrading bacteria was about $10^2{\sim}10^3 cells/ml$. The density of LAS degrading bacteria was 1.1 - 1.8 times larger than that of SDBS-degrading bacteria. In annual variation the lowest density was appeared on January and the highest on July. In seasonal distribution of LAS-degrading bacteria, annual dominant group was genus Pseudomonas. There were few except genus Pseudomonas in winter and the subdomiannt group in spring and summer was genus Aeromonas and Enterobacteriaceae respectively. In autumn genus Pseudomonas, Aeromonas and Enterobacteriaceae were equally distributed. In SDBS-degrading bacteria, the annual dominant group was also genus Pseudomonas.

The production of antibiotic substances by Serratia plymuthica A21-4 was greatly enhanced by modifying components of a growth medium. When the minimal medium containing $K_2HPO_4$ 0.7%, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.2%, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 0.1%, $MgSO_4$ 0.01% was used as basal medium, the best carbon source for antibiotic production was glycerol and the most favorable nitrogen source was ammonium sulfate. The modified medium for antibiotic production also increased colonization ability of A21-4 on pepper root and in the rhizosphere soil. When the cells of A21-4 were suspended in modified medium, the population density of A21-4 on pepper root was 10-100 times higher than that suspended in 0.1 M $MgSO_4$. The population density of A21-4 on root did not decrease under $10^6$ cfu/groot up to 21 days after treatment although the inoculum of A21-4 was reduced to $10^7$ cell/ml. Similar tendency was also observed in the rhizosphere soil. Consequently, Phytophthora blight of pepper was successfully controlled by A21-4 with $10^7$ cell/ml suspended in the modified buffer solution instead of $10^9$ cfu/ml suspended in 0.1 M $MgSO_4$.

Background: Combining risk factors for prostate cancer into a predictive tool may improve the detection of prostate cancer while decreasing the number of benign biopsies. We compare one such tool, age multiplied by prostate volume divided by total serum PSA (PSA-AV) with PSA density and detection of primary malignant circulating prostate cells (CPCs) in a Chilean prostate cancer screening program. The objectives were not only to determine the predictive values of each, but to determine the number of clinically significant cancers that would have been detected or missed. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted of all men undergoing 12 core ultrasound guided prostate biopsy for suspicion of cancer attending the Hospital DIPRECA and Hospital de Carabineros de Chile. Total serum PSA was registered, prostate volumecalculated at the moment of biopsy, and an 8ml blood simple taken immediately before the biopsy procedure. Mononuclear cells were obtained from the blood simple using differential gel centrifugation and CPCs identified using immunocytchemistry with anti-PSA and anti-P504S. Biopsy results were classed as positive or negative for cancer and if positive the Gleason score, number of positive cores and percent infiltration recorded. Results: A total of 664 men participated, of whom 234 (35.2%) had cancer detected. They were older, had higher mean PSA, PSA density and lower PSA-AV. Detection of CPCs had high predictive score, sensitivity, sensibility and positive and negative predictive values, PSA-AV was not significantly different from PSA density in this population. The use of CPC detection avoided more biopsies and missed fewer significant cancers.Conclusions: In this screening population the use of CPC detection predicted the presence of clinically significant prostate cancer better than the other parameters. The high negative predictive value would allow men CPC negative to avoid biopsy but remain in follow up. The formula PSA-AV did not add to the predictive performance using PSA density.

A population model of bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria on hot pepper was developed to predict the primary disease infection date. The model estimated the pathogen population on the surface and within the leaf of the host based on the wetness period and temperature. For successful infection, at least 5,000 cells/ml of the bacterial population were required. Also, wind and rain were necessary according to regression analyses of the monitored data. Bacterial spot on the model is initiated when the pathogen population exceeds $10^{15}cells/g$ within the leaf. The developed model was validated using 94 assessed samples from 2000 to 2007 obtained from monitored fields. Based on the validation study, the predicted initial infection dates varied based on the year rather than the location. Differences in initial infection dates between the model predictions and the monitored data in the field were minimal. For example, predicted infection dates for 7 locations were within the same month as the actual infection dates, 11 locations were within 1 month of the actual infection, and only 3 locations were more than 2 months apart from the actual infection. The predicted infection dates were mapped from 2009 to 2012; 2011 was the most severe year. Although the model was not sensitive enough to predict disease severity of less than 0.1% in the field, our model predicted bacterial spot severity of 1% or more. Therefore, this model can be applied in the field to determine when bacterial spot control is required.

This study is the first attempt to understand the feeding physiology of a sea-urchin larva on a red-tide dinoflagellate. Fifteen day old larvae of S. intermedius capture C. polykrikoides cells by localized reversal of ciliary beats. No failure to transporte the algal cells from theciliated band to mouth and no rejection at the mouth suggest that C. polykrikoides has no feeding deterrence to S. intermedius larvae. The trend obtained for the clearance rate of S. intermedius larvae is similar to that of other sea urchin larvae. Thus, the clearance rate decreased as the algal concentration increased. Maximum clearance rate of S. intermedius on C. polykrikoides was 17.7 $\mu l$/larva/hr. Ingestion rate rapidly increased at lower algal concentrations and saturated at higher concentrations. There was no inhibition in ingestion rate at the highest prey concentration of ca. 3000 cells/ml. Maximum ingestion rate of S. intermedius on C. polykrikoides was 131 ngC/larva/d, which is higher than that reported for the larvae of the mussel Mytilus gal-lotrovincialis, but lower than that of the ciliate Strombidinopsis sp. The grazing rate, calculated by combining the field data on algal abundances with experimental data on ingestion rate, suggests that due to its low abundance, sea urchin Iarva has no significant grazing impact on C. polykrikoides population.

이 연구에서는 로티퍼 B. rotundiformis의 대량 배양조에서 흔히 혼재가 관찰되는 코페포다 T japonicus가 배양을 목적으로 하고 있는 로티퍼 B. rotundiformis의 증식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 실험에 사용한 로티퍼와 코페포다는 로티퍼의 대량 배양조에서 순수 분리 후 단일종 배양하던 것이다. 배앙 조건은 현장의 배양환경과 되도록 일치하도록 하였으며, 먹이는 $7{\times}10^5\;cells/ml$의 N. oculata를 급이하였다. B. rotundiformis의 배양조에 혼재된 T. japonicus는 C. rotundiformis를 단독 배양한 경우에 비하여 증식이 크게 억제되었고, 실험 종료일까지도 그 증식은 정체되는 양상을 보였다. 그러나, T. japonicus의 증식은 T. japonirus를 단독 배양한 경우에 비교하여 B. rotundiformis와 혼합 배양하여도 그 증식에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 또한, B. rotundiformis와 T japonicu의 혼합 배양에서 두 종간의 피포식 관계나 먹이 경쟁 관계와 같은 직접적인 상호 작용은 관찰할 수 없었다. 이 연구의 결과, 로티퍼 B. rotundiformis의 대량 배양조에서 혼재 생물로서 자주 관찰되는 코페포다 T. japonicus는 B. rotundiformis의 증식 저해요인으로서 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
