Eurasian yellow perch (Perca fluviatilis) and American yellow perch (Perca flavescens) are known to be endemic species in Eurasia and North America, respectively. The presence of endemic species on each continent suggests their independent evolutionary history. However, because of the morphological similarity, distribution pattern, and only recent fossil record, their divergence time and speciation of the two Perca species has long been controversial. Here, from the comparison of the entire nucleotide sequences of cytochrome b gene, large genetic divergence between the two Perca species is observed although they are morphologically similar each other. Among 1,140 base pairs, interspecific nucleotide differences are found at 130 sites $(11.4\%)$. The differences varies with codon position, showing 22 sites in the first, 5 sites in the second, and 103 sites in the third codon position. Considering the types of nucleotide changes, transitional differences are much more than transversional differences and its ratio turned out to be 5.19. The estimated divergence time of the two Perca species indicates that they were separated each other approximately in the late Miocene period, which implies the long history of speciation. With comparison of the inferred amino acid sequences, strong structural and functional constraints which seem to be maintained by the highly conservative amino acid residues or protein regions, as found in other taxonomic groups of organisms, are also recognized in the cytochrome b of the fishes examined.

For 26 soil series distributed more than 1% among 63 soil series in Jeju Island, natural uncultivated soil samples were collected. For these soils, the chemical speciation of eight heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn) was examined. Further, the Plant Bioavailability (PB) and Mobility Factor (MF) of these heavy metals were evaluated using Tessier's 5-step sequential extraction method (exchangeable, carbonate, reducible (bound to Fe/Mn oxides), oxidizable (bound to organic matter), and residual fraction). The main form present was residual fraction for Cd and Zn; residual and oxidizable fractions for Cr, Cu, Ni, and Pb; reducible fraction for Mn; and carbonate fraction for V. The average plant availability and average mobility factor were found to be V (57.37%) > Zn (12.49%) > Cd (11.76%) > Cu (11.19%) > Pb (9.37%) > Cr (9.09%) > Mn (3.13%) > Ni (2.63%), and Mn (61.04%) > V (59.94%) > Zn (31.54%) > Cd (17.65%) > Cr (15.66%) > Ni (13.89%) > Pb (13.80%) > Cu (13.53%), respectively.

Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis for 29 populations (n=543) of the wrinkled frog, Rana rugosa, from Korea and Japan was peformed to assess the degree of genic variation and genetic diversity, and to understand the biogeographic pattern of distribution and speciation. A sum of 22 presumptive loci was screened from 17 enzymes and general proteins. Four loci, Aco, Est-3, Me-2, and Pgm, demonstrated high levels of polymorphism. The degree of average genetic variation of R. rugosa was P=22.7% (9.1-40.9%), Ho=0.086 (0.048-0.165) and He=0.090 (0.042-0.168). In the south-eastern region of the Korean peninsula (Chongsong, Yongchon, Ulsan, Kyongju, Pohang, yongdok and Ulchin), a few unique alleles in the Mpi locus were detected and their biogeographic implications were considered. The degree of genetic differentiation among the Korean populations was moderate (S=0.900), whereas the degree of genetic diversity between Korean and Japanese populations was notably high (S=0.687, D=0.293). This result corresponds with the data obtained by the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence (Lee et al., 1999) suggesting that the Korean and Japanese R. rugosa might have evolved a specific level of genetic differentiation since their geographic isolation.

Chemical speciation of five heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) has been analyzed from 37 surface and 2 core sediments of Kyeonggi Bay, using the modified sequential extraction method based on Tessier et at. (1979). The results show that heavy metals in the Kyeonggi Bay surface sediments are associated dominantly with the crystal lattice fraction. But in the polluted sediments of the Incheon North Harbor, the importance of the labile fractions increased while that of the lattice fraction decreased. In particular, the adsorbed and the easily reducible fractions showed a noticeable increase. In the core samples emerged a speciation pattern which differed significantly from that of the surface sediments. A sharp increase in the percentage of the reducible and organic/sulfide fractions and a decrease in the lattice fraction were observed. Throughout the vertical column, however, the metal contents in the lattice fraction showed stability while those of the labile fractions showed an upward increase. The strong association of heavy metals with the organic/sulfide fraction could be attributed in part to the sulfate reduction prevailing in the polluted harbor sediments.

본 연구에서는 물속 As(III)와 As(V)의 종 규명분석에 필요한 HPLC와 DRC-ICP-MS의 최적조건을 설정하고, 이를 이용하여 한강 팔당수계 10개 지류 천으로부터 채취한 시료중의 As(III)와 As(V)를 분석 검토하였다. 종 분리를 위한 HPLC의 이동상으로는 10 mM ammonium nitrate와 10 mM ammonium phosphate monobasic을 사용하였으며, flushing solvent로는 5% v/v 메탄올을 사용하였다. 검출기는 DRC-ICP-MS를, 반응기체는 산소를 사용하였다. 최적 분석조건을 설정하기 위하여 이동상의 pH, 유량 및 시료 주입량과 DRC의 산소 유량을 달리하여 검토한 결과, 이동상의 pH는 9.4, 유량은 1.5 mL/min, 시료 주입량은 100 $\mu$L, 산소의 유량은 0.5 mL/min이었을 때 가장 좋은 분석조건으로 나타났다. 검정곡선은 As(III)와 As(V)에 대해 모두 r$^2$ = 0.998 이상의 선형성을 나타냈으며, As(III)의 검출한계는 0.10 $\mu$g/L, 정확도(RSD)는 4.3%, 회수율은 95.2%, As(V)의 검출한계는 0.08 $\mu$g/L, 정확도(RSD)는 3.6%, 회수율은 96.4%로 나타났다. 분석시간은 4분이었다. 설정된 파라미터를 적용하여 한강 팔당수계 유입 10개 지류 천에서 채수한 시료를 분석한 결과, As(III)는 0.10$\sim$0.22 $\mu$g/L, As(V)는 0.44$\sim$1.19 $\mu$g/L의 범위로 나타났으며, 총 비소의 93.5%가 As(V)의 형태인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Low and high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) coupled with ion chromatography (IC) has been investigated for speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). In particular, the interference of ArC^+formed by the carbon in a sample on the simultaneous determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) has been studied. In chemical speciation, this study shows that quadrupole type ICP-MS with low resolution has a limitation of simultaneous determination fo chromium species if the sample contains the carbon elements. The interference problems can be solved by high resolution ICP-MS.

한국 고유종인 새코미꾸리(Cobitis rotundicaudata)의 집단간 유전적 차이에 따른 종 분화 여부를 밝히고자 4개집단을 대상으로mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)의 RFLP분석을 실시 하였다. C. rotundicaudata mtDNA를 10개의 6-base cutting 제한요소로 처리한 다음 그 절 편 양상을 비교, 분석한 결과 4개 집단 공히 mtDNA의 전체 genome 크기는 약 16.5$\pm$ 0.5Kbp였으며 공통절편수(F)에서 한강 2개 집단(가평, 진부)과 동해안 마읍천 짐단간의 F값 은 0.911로 매우 가까웠으나 낙동강의 산청집단은 타 3개 집단과 F=0.375로 차이가 있었다. 또한 염기치환율(p)에 있어서도 한강 2개 집단 및 마읍천 집단간은 평균 p=0.005로 매우 유 사하였으나, 산청 집단은 타 집단들과 염기치환율에 있어 p=0.059로 종수준의 뚜렷한 차이 를 나타내어서 이들은 각각 별종으로 사료된다.
