3가지 재질의 생물활성탄 부착 박테리아들을 부리 동정한 결과 총 9종류의 부착 박테리아가 동정되었다. Pseudomonas 속이 차지하는 비율이 평균 56.5%로 나타나 가장 높은 우점비율을 나타내었고, 다음으로 Pasteurella속 18.9%, Chryseomonas 속 4.0%, Agrobacterium속 3.5%, Aeromonas속 2.0% 순으로 검출되었다. 순수 분리된 9종의 박테리아들의 성장곡선을 조사한 결과 24~96시간 내에 최대의 생체량을 나타내어 geosmin을 유기탄소원으로 활용하는 능력이 뛰어난 것으로 조사되었다. $4^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$의 운전조건에서 geosmin에 대한 생분해능을 조사한 결과 Pseudomonas vesicularis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Agrobacterium radiobacter 및 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia 등이 뛰어난 생분해율을 나타낸 반면 Chryseomonas luteola, Spingomonas paucimobilis, Spirillum spp. 등은 비교적 낮은 geosmin 생분해능을 나타내었다. Geosmin의 생분해능은 수온이 $4^{\circ}C$일 경우 생분해율 속도상수가 $0.00006{\sim}0.00020\;hr^{-1}$의 범위에서 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 $0.0043{\sim}0.0046\;hr^{-1}$의 범위로 나타나 수온 상승에 따라 큰 폭으로 증가하였으며, 또한 투입된 geosmin의 농도가 10~10,000 ng/L로 증가할수록 생분해율 속도상수도 $0.0003{\sim}0.0882\;hr{-1}$로 증가하였다.

Development process of benthic community on experimental substrata attached on a newly installed artificial reef complex in Jeju Island was observed for 27 months from 1992 to 1994. Among 34 species of algae and 64 species of zoobenthos obtained from the study, Ecklonia cava dominated with a maximum biomass of about $10kg/m^2$. It was able to smother the other animals, however it provided a new substrate for the new settlers. Opportunistic bryzoans such as Likenopora radiata and Dexiospira spirillum occurred during the early stage were substituted by poriferans, banacles and other bryzoans. Young barnacles were smothered by bryozoans, on the contrary, bryozoans were bulldozed by adult barnacles. No apparent differences have been observed between vertically and horizontally installed substrates in terms of species composition and biomass during the early stage of succession. Thereafter owing to the rapid growth of E. cava, the horizontal substrata carried on a higher biomass while the vertical showed a higher coverage. The benthic process on the experimental substrata can be classified into three stages: initial stage, build up stage and regulatory stage. Important mechanisms involved were canopying of E. cava, suffocation by bryozoans and poriferans, and bulldozing of adult barnacles.

Halitosis is primarily caused by bacterial decay. The bacteria, which originate from biofilms such as dental plaque, show abnormal proliferation due to dental caries, periodontal diseases, soft tissue infections, and tongue diseases. Most studies on halitosis have exclusively focused on gram-negative bacteria in the oral cavity rather than on general oral microorganisms including oral fungi. This study analyzed oral fungal hyphae, as well as distribution and motility of oral microorganisms, and provided basic data on the control of halitosis. Our results revealed that the greater is the number of cocci bacteria, the higher is the halitosis value, or bad breath value (BBV), suggesting that cocci have a strongly positive correlation with halitosis (r=0.379, p=0.030). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the morphology or distribution of motile bacteria and motility score, with respect to BBV. Lastly, we investigated the relationship between halitosis and oral fungal hyphae. We found that a higher BBV corresponded with a greater number of fungal hyphae and that patients with fungal hyphae scored a higher BBV. However, this result was not statistically significant. In conclusion, this study provided the preliminary data on oral microorganisms and halitosis, but further studies are needed to analyze the relationship between oral microorganisms and halitosis.
