We investigated the phylogenetic diversity of ammoniaoxidizing bacteria (AOB) in Yellow Sea continental shelf sediment by the cloning and sequencing of PCR-amplified amoA and 16S rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of the amoA-related clones revealed that the diversity of AOB was extremely low at the study site. The majority (92.7%) of amoA clones obtained belonged to a single cluster, environmental amoA cluster-3, the taxonomic position of which was previously unknown. Phylogenetic analysis on AOB-specific 16S rRNA gene sequences also demonstrated a very low diversity. All of the cloned 16S rRNA gene sequences comprised a single phylotype that belonged to the members of uncultured Nitrosospira cluster-1, suggesting that AOB belonging to the uncultured Nitrosospira cluster-1 could carry amoA sequences of environmental amoA cluster-3.

해양 및 토양에서의 암모니아 산화는 세균에 비해 Crenarchaeota 그룹의 archaea에 의해 우세하게 일어나고 있음이 알려졌다. 서해 갯벌에서, 배양에 의존하지 알고, 특정 암모니아 산화유전자(amoA)를 가진 archaea을 동정하고자 디지털 PCR법을 응용한 nested PCR법을 개발하였다. amoA와 16S rRNA유전자가 동시에 증폭된 샘플의 분석결과, 16S rRNA유전자에 비해 amoA 유전자의 다양성 이 높았으며, I.1a 그룹의 crenarchaea가 I.1b 그룹의 crenarchaea보다 갯벌지역에서 암모니아 산화에 우점적으로 기여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 시도된, 디지털 PCR과 multiplex-nested PCR을 접목한 접근법을 이용하면 특정 기능유전자를 가진 미생물을 환경에서 검증하는데 응용할 수 있을 것이다.

북극지역은 지구온난화로 인하여 생태계에 큰 영향을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 북극 Svalbard 지역에서 육지 빙하의 해빙(ice melt)의 영향을 받는 해양퇴적층에서 질산화 과정에 핵심역할을 하는 고세균의 질산화유전자(ammonia monooxygenase, AMO)의 공간적 분포의 변화를 조사하였다. 해빙으로 인한 퇴적물 퇴적속도와 고세균 AMO의 alpha subunit를 코딩하는 amoA 유전자와의 관계를 클론라이브러리 분석을 통하여 분석하였다. 육지와 근접하여 퇴적속도가 가장 빠른 정점(188)에서 고세균 amoA 유전자의 다양성이 육지에서 비교적 먼 지역의 정점(176과 184)에 비해 현저히 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 3 정점의 고세균 amoA 유전자 클론들의 평균 아미노산 서열의 상동성은 94%(염기서열 91%)로 나타났다. 176과 184 정점에서 분석된 고세균 amoA 유전자 클론들 중 약 45%가 Nitosopumilus clade와 근연관계에 있는 반면, 188 지역의 경우 낮은 염농도에서 발견되는 Nitrosoarchaeaum clade와 근연관계에 있는 클론들이 발견되었다. 토양 고세균유래 amoA 유전자는 육지에 근접하여 해빙에 의한 영향을 가장 많이 받는 188정점에서만 발견이 되었다. 본 연구를 통하여, 해빙으로 인하여 육지로부터 운반되는 퇴적물의 량이 증가함에 따라, 해양퇴적층의 질소순환관련 미생물 군집에 변화가 유발되는 것으로 추정되며, 고세균의 amoA 유전자가 해양퇴적층 질소순환생태계 변화의 지표로 이용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The ICAO AMO global recognition system will be instituted in 2024, with the aim of reducing the certification and surveillance burden on aviation authorities and approved maintenance organizations (AMOs). If the domestic AMO certification and surveillance system is internationally recognized through this system, it may facilitate the rapid development of the domestic MRO industry in South Korea. To ensure international recognition of the domestic AMO system, the AMO surveillance and regulation system must be improved. This study reviewed ICAO policies, standards, guidelines, and leading aviation authorities' regulations and systems with regard to maintenance organization certification and surveillance, and a comparative analysis with the domestic system was conducted. From this, gaps in aviation safety inspection personnel training, qualification, and surveillance were identified, and measures for improving inspection personnel training and organization certification and surveillance system maintenance were elucidated to preemptively respond to the ICAO AMO global recognition system.

For the continued airworthiness of aviation products, aviation authority requires that every manufacturer should provide ICA(Instruction of Continued Airworthiness) to their users, and the users should follow it by themselves or using another approved maintenance agent. To reduce the cost and improve performance quality of maintenance activities, lots of users tries to outsource this job. To perform maintenance or repair of other owned air products, an air carrier and aviation maintenance companies should obtain AMO(approval of maintenance organization). It means AMO is a postulation to enter MRO(Maintenance Repair and Overhaul) market. For that, this paper discusses the comparison of requirements and procedures of AMO system between Korea and US to help understand the AMO system, and then, tries to point out what improvement should be made to Korean AMO system to be more effective, efficient and safe.

As the majority of Korean MRO demand is outsourced overseas, AMO by major foreign authorities is required to promote the Korean MRO industry to keep Korean MRO demand on shore. This study aims to promote consulting for AMO (obtaining repair station certification) by U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for Korean maintenance companies. We analyzed AMO process, studied various industry cases, developed a model for AMO consulting, and identified core competencies for consultants. We suggested a five-step modified Milan model to apply AMO consulting process. We identified seven core competencies (ethics, communications, problem-solving, technical, relationship, resource management, organizational understanding) both social and technical for consultants. Additionally, we text analyzed more than 260 FAA AMO consultant resumes on Linkedin and interpreted frequent words (airline, audit, inspector, DER, regulation, ISO, system) to their competencies. This study contributes to promote consulting for the Korean MRO industry to be recognized by FAA and to develop the Korean MRO industry.

Global warming will have far-reaching effects on our ecosystem. However, its effects on Antarctic soils have been poorly explored. To assess the effects of warming on microbial abundance and community composition, we sampled Antarctic soils from the King George Island in the Antarctic Peninsula and incubated these soils at elevated temperatures of $5^{\circ}C$ and $8^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. The reduction in total organic carbon and increase in soil respiration were attributed to the increased proliferation of Bacteria, Fungi, and Archaea. Interestingly, bacterial ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) genes were predominant over archaeal amoA, unlike in many other environments reported previously. Phylogenetic analyses of bacterial and archaeal amoA communities via clone libraries revealed that the diversity of amoA genes in Antarctic ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotic communities were temperature-insensitive. Interestingly, our data also showed that the amoA of Antarctic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) communities differed from previously described amoA sequences of cultured isolates and clone library sequences, suggesting the presence of novel Antarctic-specific AOB communities. Denitrification-related genes were significantly reduced under warming conditions, whereas the abundance of amoA and nifH increased. Barcoded pyrosequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene revealed that Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria were the major phyla in Antarctic soils and the effect of short-term warming on the bacterial community was not apparent.

In this study, the effects of ammonium concentration ($117.5-1155.0mg-N{\cdot}l^{-1}$), nitrite concentration ($0-50.0mg-N{\cdot}l^{-1}$), and temperature ($15-35^{\circ}C$) on nitrification performance and its functional genes (amoA-arc, amoA-bac, hao) in an enriched consortium inoculated with humic acid were determined. Notably, the maximum nitrification rate value was observed at $315mg-N{\cdot}l^{-1}$ of ammonium, but the highest functional gene copy numbers were obtained at $630mg-N{\cdot}l^{-1}$ of ammonium. No inhibition of the nitrification rate and functional gene copy numbers was observed via the added nitrites. The optimum temperature for maximum nitrification performance was observed to be $30^{\circ}C$. The amoA-bac copy numbers were also greater than those of amoA-arc under all test conditions. Notably, amoA-arc copy numbers and nitrification efficiency showed a positive relationship in network analysis. These results indicate that ammonium-oxidizing archaea and bacteria play important roles in the nitrification process.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Haller cells and accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, and to analyze the relationships among Haller cells, AMO, and maxillary sinusitis. Materials and Methods: Volumetric CBCT scans from 201 patients were retrieved from our institution's Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine archive folder. Two observers evaluated the presence of Haller cells, AMO, and maxillary sinusitis in the CBCT scans. Results: AMO was observed in 114 patients, of whom 27 (23.7%) had AMO exclusively on the right side, 26 (22.8%) only on the left side, and 61 (53.5%) bilaterally. Haller cells were identified in 73 (36.3%) patients. In 24 (32.9%) they were present exclusively on the right side, in 17 (23.3%) they were only present on the left side, and in 32 (43.8%) they were located bilaterally. Of the 73 (36.3%) patients with Haller cells, maxillary sinusitis was also present in 50 (68.5%). On using chi-square test, a significant association was observed between AMO and maxillary sinusitis in the presence of Haller cells. Conclusion: Our results showed AMO and Haller cells to be associated with maxillary sinusitis. This study provides evidence for the usefulness of CBCT in imaging the bony anatomy of the sinonasal complex with significantly higher precision and a smaller radiation dose.
