Rotifer와 병든 넙치 자어로부터 분리된 2개의 균주는 표현형적인 특성 확인 결과 Vibrio ichthyoenteri로 확인이 되었다. V. ichthyoenteri를 검출하기 위래 고감도 PCR 방법 개발을 하기 위래 V. ichthyoenteri 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region(ISR)을 분석하였고, V. ichthyoenteri중 특이적 primer를 개발하였다. V. ichthyoenteri 의 ISR를 분석한 결과 1개의 다형성 ISR type서열을 포함하고 있었다. ISR서열은 길이는 348bp이며 tRNA gene을 가지고 있지 않았다. 이 서열을 가지고 이미 알려진 다른 Vibrio 종의 ISR 서열과 mutiple alignment를 수행한 결과 여러 영역에서 높은 가변성을 나타내어 가변 부위를 표적으로 하여 V. ichthyoenteri를 검출하기 위한 종 특이적 primer를 제작하였다. 제작된 primer의 특이성을 확인하기 위해 Vibrio 표준균주 19종의 genomic DNA와 분리균주 18 group에 genomic DNA 그리고 V. ichthyoenteri와 가장 유사한 서열을 가지고 있다고 알려진 Vibrio 종의 genomic DNA를 가지고 시험하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 제작된 종 특이적 primer를가지고 PCR 반응을 하면 V. ichthyoenteri를 검출 할 수가 있다.

Fusarium species, a large group of plant pathogens, potentially pose quarantine concerns worldwide. Here, we focus on the development of a method for detecting four Fusarium species in quarantined plants in Korea: F. solani f. sp. cucurbitae, F. stilboides, F. redolens, and F. semitectum var. majus. Species-specific primers were designed from the nucleotide sequences of either the translation elongation factor-1 alpha (TEF1) gene or RNA polymerase II subunit (RPB2) gene. Two different primer sets derived from TEF1, all specific to F. solani f. sp. cucurbitae, were able to differentiate the two races (1 and 2) of this species. A set of nested primers for each race was designed to confirm the PCR results. Similarly, two primer sets derived from RPB2 successfully amplified specific fragments from five F. stilboides isolates grouped within a single phylogenetic clade. A specific TEF1 primer set amplified a DNA fragment from only four of the 12 F. redolens strains examined, which were grouped within a single phylogenetic clade. All of the F. semitectum var. majus isolates could be specifically detected with a single RPB2 primer set. The specificity of the primer sets developed here was confirmed using a total of 130 Fusarium isolates.

The aim of this study was to develop species-specific primer sets for kimchi Lactobacillus. Known gene sequences of Lactobacillus 16S rRNA were collected from the NCBI Gene bank, and 69 primer sets were designed using the homologous gene sequence. Six species of kimchi Lactobacilli were used as reference strains: Lactobacillus brevis KCTC3102, Lactobacillus farciminis KCTC3681, Lactobacillus fermentum KCTC3112, Lactobacillus hilgardii KCTC3500, Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC3099, and Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis KCTC3205. PCR amplification and gel electrophoresis were performed to identify the accuracy and specificity of the developed primer set. The results show that the primer set of 5'-aagcctgcgaaggcaag-3' & 5'-aggccaccggctttg-3', 5'-acatactatgcaaatctaagagattagacg-3' & 5'-actgagaatggctttaagagattagcttac-3' resulted in a specific PCR band on L. hilgardii, and primer set of 5'-ctaataccgcataacaactactttcacat-3' & 5'-aacttaataaaccgcctacattctctttac-3' on L. farciminis. The results indicate that the developed primer sets can provide a useful tool for the identification and differentiation of L. hilgardii and L. farciminis from other Lactobacillus species of kimchi.

Plasmodiophora brassicae는 십자화과 작물에 뿌리혹병을 일으키는 주요 병원균이다. 본 연구에서는 뿌리혹병균의 신속 정확한 검출을 위해서 뿌리혹병균에 대한 새로운 종 특이적 프라이머를 개발하고자 하였다. 새롭게 개발된 프라이머들은 10종의 주요 토양병원균을 비롯하여 기주인 배추 DNA와는 반응하지 않고 P. brassicae와만 반응하는 특이성을 갖고 있었다. 그 가운데 Primer ITS1-1/1-2는 민감도 검정 결과, 10 spores/ml의 DNA까지 검출이 가능함으로써, first round PCR용임에도 불구하고 이전의 검출법 보다 감도가 높고 정확한 결과를 얻었다. Quantitative real-time PCR로 분석할 경우에는 더 적은 수의 포자까지 안정적으로 검출해 낼 수 있어 새로운 P. brassicae 종 특이적 프라이머로서의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Three species of Nortamea concinua (NC) and Haliotis discus hannai (HDH) from Tongyeong and Sulculus diversicolor supertexta (SDS) are widely distributed on the coast of the Yellow Sea, southern sea and Jeju Island in the Korean Peninsula under the innate ecosystem. There is a need to understand the genetic traits and composition of three mollusk species in order to evaluate exactly the patent genetic effect. PCR analysis was performed on DNA samples extracted from a total of 21 individuals using seven decamer oligonucleotides primers. Seven primers were shown to generate the unique shared loci to each species and shared loci by the three species which could be clearly scored. A hierarchical clustering tree was constructed using similarity matrices to generate a dendrogram, which was facilitated by the Systat version 10. 236 specific loci, with an average of 56.3 per primer, were identified in the NC species. 142 specific loci, with an average of 44.7 per primer, were identified in the HDH species. Especially, 126 numbers of shared loci by the three species, with an average of 18 per primer, were observed among the three species. Especially, the decamer primer BION-75 generated 7 unique loci to each species, which were identifying each species, in 700 bp NC species. Interestingly, the primer BION-50detected 42 shared loci by the three species, major and/or minor fragments of sizes 100 bp and 150 bp, respectively, which were identical in all samples. As regards average bandsharing value (BS) results, individuals from HDH species (0.772) exhibited higher bandsharing values than did individuals from NC species (0.655). In this study, the dendrogram obtained by the seven decamer primers indicates three genetic clusters: cluster 1 (CONCINNA 01~CONCINNA 07), cluster 2 (HANNAI 08~HANNAI 14), cluster 3 (SUPERTEXTA 15~SUPERTEXTA 21). Comparatively, individuals of HDH species were fairly closely related to that of SDS species, as shown in the hierarchical dendrogram of genetic distances.

In this study, we developed a species-specific PCR assay for rapid and accurate detection of three Xanthomonas species, X. axonopodis pv. poinsettiicola (XAP), X. hyacinthi (XH) and X. campestris pv. zantedeschiae (XCZ), based on their draft genome sequences. XAP, XH and XCZ genomes consist of single chromosomes that contain 5,221, 4,395 and 7,986 protein coding genes, respectively. Species-specific primers were designed from variable regions of the draft genome sequence data and assessed by a PCR-based detection method. These primers were also tested for specificity against 17 allied Xanthomonas species as well as against the host DNA and the microbial community of the host surface. Three primer sets were found to be very specific and no amplification product was obtained with the host DNA and the microbial community of the host surface. In addition, a detection limit of $1pg/{\mu}l$ per PCR reaction was detected when these primer sets were used to amplify corresponding bacterial DNAs. Therefore, these primer sets and the developed species-specific PCR assay represent a valuable, sensitive, and rapid diagnostic tool that can be used to detect three specific pathogens at early stages of infection and may help control diseases.

국제 무역 및 전세계 수산물 소비의 증가로 인해 다양한 수산물이 국내로 수입되어 유통되고 있다. 최근 수입 수산물의 종명 및 원산지 표시사항을 허위로 기재하는 경우가 급증하여 식품안전성에 심각한 문제가 야기되고 있다. 불법적으로 유통되는 수산물의 안전관리를 위해 DNA 기반 기술을 이용한 종 판별법 마련이 시급하다. 본 연구에서는 전세계적으로 중요한 대형선망어업 어종 중 하나인 전갱이속 어류의 종을 판별하기 위해 duplex-PCR을 사용한 검출 방법을 개발하였다. 국내에 유통되는 T. japonicus과 T. novaezelandiae의 시료를 확보하여 COI 영역의 염기서열 분석을 통하여 종간 특이성을 나타내는 단일염기다형성 유전자를 탐색하였으며, PCR 증폭 산물의 크기를 고려하여 2개의 종 특이적인 정방향 primer를 설계하였다. Duplex-PCR 분석 결과, T. japonicus (103 bp), T. novaezelandiae (214 bp)와 같은 단일 밴드를 전기영동상에서 확인 할 수 있었으며 상호간의 비 특이적 밴드는 형성되지 않았다. 또한 duplex-PCR 방법을 통한 T. japonicus과 T. novaezelandiae에서 최저 $0.01ng/{\mu}l$까지 검출됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 duplex-PCR 분석법을 이용한 전갱이속 어류의 종 판별법은 정확도와 민감도가 우수하여 수산물의 수출입 및 시중에 불법적으로 유통 가능성이 있는 제품을 신속하고 과학적으로 판별할 수 있어 수산물안전관리에 활용도가 매우 클 것으로 기대된다.

An analysis of RAPD-PCR (random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction) was performed with three Angelica species (A. gigas Nakai, A. sinensis (Olive.) Diels and A. acutiloba Kitag) in an effort to distinguish between members of these three species. Two arbitrary primers (OPC02, OPD11) out of80 primers tested, produced 17 species-specific fragments among the three species. Eight fragments were specific for A. sinensis, four fragments specific for A. gigas, five specific for A. acutiloba. When primers OPC02 and OPD11 were used in the polymerase chain reaction, RAPD-PCR fragments that were specific for each of the three species were generated simultaneously. Primer OPC02 produced eight species-specific fragments: four were specific for A. sinensis, one for A. gigas, and three for A. acutiloba. Primer OPD11 produced nine speciesspecific fragments: four for A. sinensis, three for A. gigas, and two for A. acutiloba. The RAPD-PCR markers that were generated with these two primers should rapidly identify members of the three Angelica species. The consistency of the identifications made with these species-specific RAPD-PCR markers was demonstrated by the observation that each respective marker was generated from three accessions of each species, all with different origins. We also performed the RAPD-PCR analysis with the dried Angelica root samples that randomly collected from marketed and from the OPC02 primer, obtained a A. gigasspecific band and the band were cloned and sequenced.

In this paper, a rapid and reliable gene-targeted species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique based on a two-step process was established to identify bifidobacteria in dairy products. The first step was the PCR assay for genus Bifidobacterium with genus specific primers followed by the second step, which identified the species level with species-specific primer mixtures. Ten specific primer pairs, designed from nucleotide sequences of the 16-23S rRNA region, were developed for the Bifidobacterium species including B. angulatum, B. animalis, B. bifidum, B. breve, B. catenulatum, B. infantis, B. longum, B. minimum, B. subtile, and B. thermophilum. This technique was applied to the identification of Bifidobacterium species isolated from 6 probiotic products, and four different Bifidobacterium spp. (B. bifidum, B. longum, B. infantis, and B. breve) were identified. The findings indicated that the 16S-23S rDNA gene-targeted species-specific PCR technique is a simple and reliable method for identification of bifidobacteria in probiotic products. PCR combined with Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) for identification of the bifidobacteria was also evaluated and compared with the gene-targeted species-specific technique. Results indicated that for fermented milk products consistency was found for both species-specific PCR and PCR-DGGE in detecting species. However, in some lyophilized products, the bands corresponding to these species were not visualized in the DGGE profile but the specific PCR gave a positive result.
