Nephila clavata, a golden orb-web spider, was studied at two different field sites with respect to web size, height, and orientation. A majority of spiders at Site 1 (a band of shrub bush) built their webs parallel or nearly parallel to the edge of the bush. Similarly, at Site 2 (near a pond), most webs were aligned with the shoreline of the pond. Among the possible determining factors for the observed patterns of web orientation, wind and light did not appear important. Instead, the movement direction of insect prey appeared largely responsible. Disproportionately more webs faced outside the bush and toward the pond than inside the bush and away from the pond at Site 1 and 2, respectively. Such trend was more apparent for larger spiders with larger webs.

거미는 육식동물로 구강의 소화라는 독특한 방법을 통하여 곤충을 비롯한 작은 동물을 먹이자원으로 이용한다. 거미의 독샘에 함유되어 있는 단백질 분해 효소 환만 아니라 소화관에 존재하는 미생물도 거미의 소화에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구에서는 한국산 무당거미(Nephila clavata)의 소화관내 미생물 군집의 분포와 단백질 및 지질 분해능을 확인하고, 거미의 장내 미생물을 분리 .동정하고자 하였다. 한국산 무당거미의 소화관에 존재하는 총 개체수는 거미 18개체를 통합하여 처리하였을 때와 개체별로 처리하였을 때 모두 거미 한 마리당 $10^3-10^5$CFUs 로 매우 유사하였다. 계수된 미생물 중에서 90% 이상이 단백질 또는 지질 분해능을 나타내었다. 그리고 계수된 미생물 중에서 군종별로 1균주씩 순수 분리하였고, 분리된 미생물 중 63.3%가 각각 단백질 또는 지질 분해능을 나타내었고, 이중 50%의 균주는 단백질과 지질 분해능을 동시에 함유하는 것으로 나타났다. 형태적, 생리 .생화학적 방법을 통하여 동정한 결과, 11종류의 그람음성균(Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, A. haemolyticus, Aicaligenes faecalis, Cedecea davisae, C. neteri, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Serratia marcescens, Stenotraphamonas maltophilia, Suttonella indologenes)과 11종류의 그람양성균(Bacillus cereus, B. coagulans, B. pasteurii, B. thuringiensis, Cellulomonas flavigena, Corynebacterium martruchotii, Enterococcus durans, E. faecalis, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus huminis, S. sciuri)으로 분류되었다.

Ultrastructure of the secretory portion of the small ampullate gland in the orb web spider, Nephila clavata, has been investigated using the electron microscope. The secretory portion of this gland comprise two different regions which are a S-shaped storage sac and a long, convoluted tail. By the internal textures of the secretory granules, the sac is subdivided into two regions ; the proximal region near the tail and the distal region near the duct. Commonly single layered connectives cover the basal portion of the sac epithelium, and apical portion of the epithelial cells is occupied by the thick cuticles. Within the epithelial cells of both the proximal and distal region, several types of the secretory granules surrounded by a limiting membrane and had characteristic crystalloid are scattered throughout the cytoplasm. The granular size and its electron densities are not coincide with each other according to the maturation level of the granules. The wall of the tail is composed of single layer of columnar epithelial cells, and their nuclei are found at the basal portion of the cells. Dissimilar to the epithelial cells of the sac, apical cuticles are not found at this portion. In the cytoplasm of these cells, numerous secretory granules, synthesized from the rough endoplasmic reticula commonly and had fine fibrous materials, are found. At the cell surface bordering the lumen, microvilli are seen, arid along the cellular boundaries specialized septate junctions and desmosomes appeared.

Two fungal strains, designated KNUF-21-006 and KNUF-21-028, were isolated from soil samples collected from Gyeongbuk Province, Korea. The strain KNUF-21-006 was similar to other Pestalotiopsis species in terms of morphological characteristics, including whitish to pale brown mycelium, conidial shape, and size. The isolate had aerial hyphae that produced black fruiting bodies on the mycelium. The conidia were fusoid to ellipsoid, four-septate, and appendage-bearing. Phylogenetic analysis using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF), and β-tubulin (TUB) gene sequences confirmed that the closest relationship of the isolate at the species level was with Pestalotiopsis clavata. The strain KNUF-21-028 exhibits similar morphological characteristics to other Botryotrichum species, including white aerial mycelium with sulcate and irregular margins, conidial shape, and size. The conidia were globose, single, and hyaline. Upon molecular analysis-using the ITS region, large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene, and TUB gene sequences-the fungus was identified as Botryotrichum iranicum. This is the first record of these fungal species in Korea.

The fine structural characteristics of cardiac muscle cells and its myofibril organization in the orb web spider N. clavata were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Although myofibril striations are not remarkable as those of skeletal muscles, muscle fibers contain multiple myofibrils, abundant mitochondria, extensive sarcoplasmic reticulum and transverse tubules (T-tubules). Myofibrils are divided into distinct sarcomeres defined by Z-lines with average length of 2.0 ㎛, but the distinction between the A-band and the I-bands is not clear due to uniform striations over the length of the sarcomeres. Dyadic junction which consisted of a single T-tubule paired with a terminal cisterna of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is found mainly at the A-I level of sarcomere. Each cell is arranged to form multiple connections with neighboring cells through the intercalated discs. These specialized junctions include three types of intercellular junctions: gap junctions, fascia adherens and desmosomes for heart function. Our transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations clearly show that spider's cardiac muscle contraction is controlled by neurogenic rather than myogenic mechanism since each cardiac muscle fiber is innervated by a branch of motor neuron through neuromuscular junctions.

무당거미와 나무껍질게거미줄의 열 안정성 및 기계적 성질 등을 측정하고, 그 성질들을 합성 섬유인 아라미드(aramide)와 폴리에스테르(polyester) 등의 측정 결과와 서로 비교하였다. 열 안정성에서 거미줄은 비록 상업용 섬유로 사용되는 아라미드나 폴리에스테르에 비해서는 낮았지만 기계적인 성질에서는 폴리에스테르보다 월등 우수한 결과 값을 보여주었다. 거미줄에 포함되어 있는 수분이 열 안정성과 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 두 종류의 거미줄을 $100^{\circ}C$의 진공에서 각각 다른 시간 별로 열처리를 하였는데, 1.5시간 동안 열처리를 시킨 후의 열 안정성과 기계적 성질이 최고 값을 나타내었다.

Ultrastructure of the excretory duct of the small ampullate gland in the orb web spider, Nephila clavata L. Koch are studied with light and electron microscopes. The small ampullate glands, located near the midline portion of the abdominal cavity, are connected with the spigots(large spinning tubes) on the middle spinnerets and composed of three parts which are the excretory duct, the storage sac and the convoluted tail. The excretory duct of this gland is enclosed by a thin layer of the outer connective tissues. By the morphology of the apical cuticles and internal textures of the epithelial cells, the duct is subdivided into two regions which are proximal duct region near the sac and distal duct region near the spinnerets. At the distal region of the ducts, the subcuticle which had the function of water removal form the progenetive silk material is well developed, whereas at the proximal region this cuticle disappeared and instead of these, endocuticle is developed. Moreover the epithelium of the distal duct region is composed of columnar epithelial cells, but at the proximal region the epithelium is changed to squamous or cuboidal forms. In the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells, rough endoplasmic reticula, Golgi comlexes and large secretory vesicles related to the production of the cuticular materials are well developed. And between the adjacent epithelial cells, specialized septate junction and desmosomes are formed along the plasma membrane.
