Clubroot disease is caused by the soil-born obligate plant pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. This pathogen can infect all cruciferous vegetables and oil crops, including Brassica rapa, B. oleracea, B. napus, and other Brassica species. Clubroot disease is now considered to be a major problem in Chinese cabbage production in China, Korea, and Japan. We collected several hundreds of P. brassicae infected galls from Korea, and isolated the single spore from the collection. For establishment of novel isolation, and mass-propagation methods for singe spore isolates of P. brassicae pathogen, we developed new filtration method using both cellulose nitrate filter and syringe filter. Accurate detection of P. brassicae pathogen in the field was done by using real-time PCR in the potential infested soil. When we tested the different pathogenicity on commercial Chinese cabbage varieties, P. brassicae from collected galls showed various morphological patterns about clubroot symptom on roots. To date, 8 CR loci have been identified in the B. rapa genome using the quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping approach, with different resistant sources and isolates. We are trying to develop the molecular marker systems for detect all 8 CR resistant genes. Especially for the study on the interaction between pathogens and CR loci which are not well understood until now, genome wide association studies are doing using the sequenced inbred lines of Chinese cabbage to detect the novel CR genes.

Effects of photoperiods, 24L or 24D, on the growth of the silkworm-dongchunghacho, the silkworm vegetable wasp and plant worm, were investigated. Exposure of the fungi under the photoperiod of 24L for at least 3 days during the cultivation of the fungi after the completion of endosclerotium in the host accelerated the spore formations but the growth of the fruiting bodies was inhibited. On the contrary, the photoperiod of 24D inhibited the spore formation, but accelerated the growth of fruiting bodies without spores. Accordingly, to produce silkworm vegetable wasp and plant worm of large-size fruiting bodies with over 3 cm in length, it is indicated that recommendable light condition is a photoperiod of 24D during the cultivation until the length of the fruiting body arrives at over 3 cm.

Various lactic acid bacteria were isolated from Korean Kimchi in order to study their antimutagenic substances. Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 showed the strain KLAB21 to have the highest antimutagenic activity among the 230 isolated strains against MNNG (N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine), NPD (4-nitro-O-phenylenediamine), NQO (4-nitrosoquinoline-1-oxide) and AFB1 (aflatoxin B1). The strain was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum based on its morphological, cultural and physiological characteristics. Antimutagenic activity of L. plantarum KLAB21 was found in culture supernatant suggesting the bacterium secrete antimutagenic substance in the media. No mutagenic activity was found in the culture supernatant. The isolated strain L. plantarum KLAB21 showed much higher antimutagenic activity than L. plantarum IAM1261 which is being used industrially for fermented milk production. The antimutagenic activity of L.plantarum KLAB21 was reconfirmed by the spore-rec assay using spores of Bacillus subtilis H17($Rec^+$) and M45($Rec^-$).

Status of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) colonization in seven tree species (Albizia saman, Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth., Albizia lebbeck, Chickrassia tabularis A. Juss., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnn., Gmelina arborea (Roxb) DC, Swietenia macrophylla King.) collected from the hilly areas of Chittagong University (CU) was investigated. Roots and rhizosphere soil samples were collected in different seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post monsoon). Percentage of AM colonization in root and number of spores/100 gm dry soil were assessed. The result of the investigation reveals that the intensity and percentage of AM colonization varied in different forest tree species in different seasons. In this study, maximum AM colonization and spore population were found in pre-monsoon and minimum were in monsoon season. The intensity of colonization was maximum in C. tabularis (74.43%) in pre-monsoon, A. lebbeck (69.45%) in monsoon and S. macrophylla (67.8%) in post monsoon seasons and minimum in A. auriculiformis (53.75%) during pre-monsoon, A. saman (24.4%) in monsoon and A. saman (19.36%) in post monsoon. The number of spores found per 100 g dry soil ranged between 164-376 during pre-monsoon, 27-310 during monsoon and 194-299 in post monsoon season. Out of six recognized genera of AM fungi, Glomus, Sclerocystis, Entrophospora, Scutellospora, Acaulospora and other unidentified spores were observed.

This study explored the use of gellan gum as an immobilization matrix for the production of cyclosporin A (CyA) by immobilized spores and mycelia of Tolypocladium inflatum MTCC 557. Different carriers, such as gellan gum, sodium alginate, celite beads, and silica, were tested as immobilization carriers, along with the role of the carrier concentration, biomass weight, number of spore-inoculated beads, and repeated utilization of the immobilized fungus. The maximum CyA production was 274 mg/l when using gellan gum [1% (w/v)], and a mycelial weight of 7.5% (w/v) supported the maximum production of CyA. Additionally, the addition of a combination of $_L$-valine (6 g/l) and $_L$-leucine (5 g/l) after 48 h of fermentation produced 1,338 mg/l of CyA when using gellan gum. The immobilized mycelia beads were found to remain stable for four repetitive cycles, indicating their potential for semicontinuous CyA production.

This study is that of providing a fairly practical practival guide to the use of natural pigment in food industry. A strain isolated from marine resources was carried out the production of red pigment. The pigment showed UV absorption maxima at 520 and 550 nm. The color intensity in aqueous solution was fairly stable in the ranges of pH 5~8. The strain KS-97 produced a maximum yield of red pigment at$ 25^{\circ}C$ for 72 hrs with pH 7.0. The strain KS-97 was iden-tified a Bacillus sp. based on morphological and biochemical characterization such as a rod from, motility, spore for-mation, Gram positive and catalase production. The production of red pigment indicated that the strain Ks-97 utilized at thigh concentration of colloidal chitin as carbon sources obtained maximum yield of red pigment at $25^{\circ}C$ for 72 hrs. The highest production of red pigment was observed with cultivation in medium containing 20% colloi-dal chitin, 2.5g polypeptone, 2.5g yeast extract, 1.0g $KH_2$$PO_4$, 0.01g $MgSO_4$.$6H_2$O, 0.01g $ZnSO_4$, 0.01 g $MnSO_4$(per 1).

An Actinomycetes producing an anti-VRSA (vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) substance was isolated from soil. The cultural, morphological, physiological and phylogenetic analyses of an isolated strain were investigated for identification. Cultural characteristics based on ISP (International Streptomyces Project) were as follows: white aerial mycelium, yellow reverse side, and good growth on various medium. Also, the isolate did not produce the soluble pigment. Morphological characteristics were showed cylindrical spore chain and smooth spore surface by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Physiological characteristics were showed LL-type by DAP isomer analysis and detected glycine, glutamic acid and alanine. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA provided a clue that the isolated strain was actually a member of the genus Streptomyces, because the determined sequence exhibited a higher homology with Streptomyces echinatus. The isolate was identified to be a genus of Streptomyces sp.. The optimal culture conditions for the maximum production of anti-VRSA substance by Streptomyces sp. were attained in a culture medium composed of $2.0\%$ (w/v) glucose, and $0.4\%$ (w/v) yeast extract. The anti-VRSA substance was highly produced after 5 days of culture. Optimal pH and temperature conditions for the production of anti-VRSA substance were pH 7.0 and $28^{\circ}C$, respectively.
