Thirty strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were obtained from the clinical isolates. In order to investigate the pursuit of the pathogens of nosocomial infection, these strains were studied for antibiotic sensitivity as well as its resistant pattern. Among the methods of hybridization which directly confirm the specific antibiotic resistant genes by means of the recently developed specific probe DNA, dot blot hybridization and southern blot hybridization were performed and these two methods were compared in their sensitivity and specificity. Strains that is sensitive to cephalothin to the subject of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were in 43%. Those that are sensitive to cefoperazone and cefuroxime were 26% and 23%, respectively. In case of MIC, MIC50 of cefoperazone was 8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, and MIC90 was 128 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ to be the lowest. As the results of plasmid DNA electrophoresis, most of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains had more than 4 plasmids. These plasmids digested by BamHI, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is distributed as 10 fragments with the size of 65 kb to 1.5 kb. Dot blot hybridization were performed to examine the existence of mecA gene to show the detection rate of 50%. Southern blot hybridization were done to see if DNA bands which amplify the activity of digoxigenium-labeled probe by PCR were actually PCR products of mecA gene and it showed the detection rate of 53%. It can be concluded that the southern blot hybridization seemed to be better in sensitivity and specificity when it is compared with the results of dot blot hybridization.

With the continual development of genetically modified (GM) crops, it has become necessary to develop detailed and effective molecular characterization methods to select candidate events from a large pool of transformation events. Relative to traditional molecular analysis methods such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot hybridization, next generation sequencing (NGS) technology for whole-genome sequencing of complex crop genomes had proven comparatively useful for in-depth molecular characterization. In this study, four transformation events, including one in Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-resistant rice, one in resveratrol-producing rice, and two in beta-carotene-enhanced soybeans, were selected for molecular characterization. To merge NGS analysis and Southern blot-hybridization results, we confirmed the transgene insertion sites, insertion construction, and insertion numbers of these four transformation events. In addition, the read-coverage depth assessed by NGS analysis for inserted genes might provide consistent results in terms of inserted T-DNA numbers in case of complex insertion structures and highly duplicated donor genomes; however, PCR-based methods can produce incorrect conclusions. Our combined method provides an effective and complete analytical approach for whole-genome visual inspection of transformation events that require biosafety assessment.

This study was conducted to produce the transgenic plant of rice. We obtained Agrobacterium AGL1 harbaring pCambial 300 vector with HPT gene. We carried out PCR analysis of 22 ea putative transgenic rice to investigate transformed lines. The 3 ea transgenic lines were detected insertion of HPT gene. Transgenic lines selected from PCR analysis were performed by Southern blot. From Southern blot, we obtained that two transgenic lines detected single band. We are going to study the method improving of cotransformation as well as transformation efficiency in rice.

배추 유래의 cytosolic glutathione reductase 유전자 (BcGR1)의 지속적 발현과 형질전환 식물체의 oxidative stress에 대한 내성과의 관계를 분석하기 위하여, BcGR1 유전자를 CaMV 35S promoter의 하류에 연결한 다음, 담배에 형질전환하였다. PCR 및 Southern blot 분석을 통하여 BcGR1 유전자가 정상적으로 삽입된 32 계통의 T$_{0}$ 식물체를 선발하였다. Northern blot 분석 결과, 도입된 유전자가 형질 전환 식물체 내에서 항상적으로 발현된다는 것을 확인하였으며, 도입 유전자의 copy number와 발현량 사이에는 정의 상관관계를 보이지 않았다.

The arbitrary primer polymerase chain reaction(AP-PCR) and Southern blot restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) were used to genotype the cariogenic pathogen S. mutans in children. Following the morphologic chracteristics of colony on selective medium for S. mutans, total genomic DNA from 155 strains was extracted by conventional methods. Among 155 strains, 143 strains (92.3%) were confirmed S. mutans by PCR with dexA gene and 114 strains were used in this study. Three random sequence 10-base oligonucleotide primers were chosen for AP-PCR. The amplified DNA products were separated electrophoretically in a 2% agarose gel containing ethidium bromide and the banding patterns were compared among different strains. For RFLP analysis, DNA was digested with EcoRI and BamHI, separated on a 0.7 % agarose gel and transferred to a nylon membrane. The membrane was probed with a previously characterised 1.6 kilobases (kb) DNA fragment cloned from gtf B gene of S. mutans. The probe was labeled with isotope[$^{32}P-{\alpha}CTP$], and hybridized fragments were detected with intensifying screen. AP-PCR produced 4-8 DNA bands in the 0.25-10 kb regions and distinguished 9, 10 or 12 genotypes, depending on the specific primer used. Southern blot RFLP analysis revealed 2 hybridization patterns consisting of 1 DNA fragments 450, 500 bp. These results indicate that AP-PCR is more discriminative method for genotyping of S. mutans.

토마토의 genome내에는 적어도 5개 이상의 PAL유전자 좌가 존재한다는 사실을 이 등(1992)이 이미 genomic Southern blot hybridization으로 확인하여 보고하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제작한 genomic DNA libraries를 대상으로 검색한 결과 기존에 보고된 PAL유전자 이외에 약 15 kb 와 10 kb에 해당하는 큰 EcoRI 단편을 확보 할 수 있었다. 이들 단편을 BamHI, HindIII등 9종의 제한효소를 사용하여 Southern blot hybridization을 행한 결과 PAL X1의 경우는 모든 효소에 대하여 2개의 단편이 hybridization 되었으며, 특히 BamHI으로 절단하여 얻은 3개의 단편중 두 개는 PAL5 유전자의 exon 2 부위에서 취한 oligomer(18 mer)와 primer extension 반응이 진행되어서 약 200 bp의 PAL유전자와 아주 높은 상동성을 갖는 염기서열이 확인되었다. 따라서 PAL X1유전자는 2 copy의 유전자가 나란히 존재하거나 아니면 염색체 재배열이 진행된 것으로 추정된다. 이러한 결과는 적어도 7개 이상의 PAL유전자 좌가 토마토 염색체내에 존재하는 것으로 사료된다.

고온 내성 오차드그라스를 개발하기 위하여, 재조합 DgP23 유전자에 CaMV 35S 프로모터를 붙여 발현벡터를 제작, Agrobacterium 형질전환 방법으로 오차드그라스 형질전환체를 생산하였다. Genomic DNA를 분리하여 PCR 및 Southern blot 분석을 실시한 결과, PCR 분석에서 DgP23 유전자의 DNA band가 관찰되었고, Southern blot 분석에서도 X-ray film 상에 hybridization signal이 관찰되어, 오차드그라스 genome에 DgP23 유전자의 도입이 확인되었으며, wild type 및 empty vector control에서는 DNA band 및 hybridization signal이 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 RT-PCR 및 이들 산물의 Southern blot 분석 결과, DgP23 유전자의 정상적인 발현이 확인되었다. 형질전환 오차드그라스를 온실 및 포장에서 재배하며 생육특성을 조사한 결과, 비형질전환체와 비교하여 형태적 차이는 나타내지 않았다. 실험실 조건에서 고온내성을 조사한 결과, 고온내성이 확인되지 않았기 때문에 형질전환 종자를 생산하여 포장조건에서 고온내성을 검정할 계획이며, 재배시험에서는 내성이 강한 개체를 선발할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
