The unrecorded fungus Galactomyces pseudocandidus de Hoog & M.T. Sm. was isolated and cultured from an introduced species, Procambarus clarkii, in Korea. Two related species, Galactomyces citri-aurantii and Geotrichum candidum, have been reported, but no other Galactomyces spp. have been found in Korea. In this study, we isolated G. pseudocandidus from the digestive tract of American crayfish using RGY (river water-glucose-yeast) medium and then compared the morphological and molecular characteristics of this species with those of related species. As a result, we confirmed that G. pseudocandidus is an unrecorded fungus in Korea, so we described and reported the cultural characteristics and microstructures, such as conidia.

The use of uncertain names for imported crustaceans causes considerable confusion for the establishment of government policies and the public market. Therefore, there have been demands for reestablishment of the domestic names of imported fish to correct the market order and to prevent damage caused by confusion among consumers. A total of 118 species of imported fisheries crustaceans were reviewed (47 crab spp., 36 shrimp spp., 27 lobster and crayfish spp., five mantis shrimp spp., and three horseshoe crab spp.). Although not belonging to the Subphylum Crustacea, three species of the Subphylum Chelicerata and five species of the Order Stomatopoda were included for review. Of these, 49 species that require Korean name assignment and reexamination of domestic names were selected and Korean names were assigned.

미국과 멕시코 지역이 원산지로 알려진 미국가재는 세계적인 침입종으로서, 최근 국내에서도 자연개체군의 출현과 개체수의 증가가 보고 되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 미토콘드리아 COI 유전자 및 초위성체 마커를 이용하여, 다양한 체색을 포함한 침입 자연개체군, 유입경로로 추정되는 수족관 개체군, 원산지 개체군인 미국 개체군의 유전자 다양성 및 집단유전학 분석을 수행하였다. 미토콘드리아 COI 유전자 다양성 분석 결과, 국내에서 채집된 침입 자연개체군(33개체)과 수족관 개체군(226개체)에서 5개의 단상형만이 발견되었으며, 초위성체 마커를 이용한 집단유전학 분석 결과에서도 침입 자연개체군과 수족관 개체군은 낮은 유전자 다양성을 나타냈다. 미국 개체군의 유전자 다양성은 두 마커에서 모두 높게 나타났는데, 이는 일반적으로 원산지(source population) 개체군이 높은 유전자 다양성을 가지는 특성을 보여준다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 미국 개체군에서 수족관 개체군으로 그리고 침입 자연개체군으로 유입된 경로를 직접적으로 보여주지는 않으나, 모든 개체군에서 공유되는 COI 단상형(haplotype)과 낮은 유전적 분화도(FST)로 볼 때, 원산지인 미국으로부터 수입된 개체들이 각기 다른 수족관을 통해 침입 자연개체군으로 유입되었을 가능성을 보여준다. 특히 수족관 개체군은 많은 개체수임에도 불구하고, 매우 낮은 유전적 다양성을 보임으로써 창시자 효과 후 inbreeding에 의한 개체군일 가능성을 보여주며, 이는 소수의 개체로부터 대량 증식되었을 가능성을 보여준다. 또한 서로 다른 체색을 띠는 수족관 개체들은 체색에 따른 유전적 차이는 없었다. 다만 주홍색 가재와 흰색 가재에서 더 높은 inbreeding이 나타났을 가능성을 보여준다. 따라서 자연개체군의 체색의 경우 수족관 개체의 특정 체색으로부터 유입되었다기보다는 자연환경에서 적응에 의해 나타난 변화의 가능성이 높다고 할 수 있다. 또한 침입 자연개체군의 낮은 유전적 다양성으로 볼 때 초기 국내 자연개체군의 유효집단(effective population)의 크기는 크지 않을 것으로 보이며, 근거리에 위치한 두 침입 자연개체군의 비교적 큰 유전적 분화도 결과로 볼 때 두 침입 자연개체군의 유전적 흐름보다는, 원산지인 미국의 다양한 유전자형이 다양한 국내 지역 수족관으로 유입되고, 이후 각각 다른 경로를 통해 각각의 자연개체군을 형성했을 것으로 보인다. 이는 본 연구에 포함되지 않은 다른 유입경로가 있음을 보여주며, 대량 사육되어 판매되는 미국가재가 자연개체군으로 유입되었을 가능성을 나타낸다. 본 연구 결과에서 얻은 미국 개체군, 국내 수족관 개체군, 국내 침입 자연개체군의 유전자 다양성 및 집단유전학 연구는 개체군 증가와 확산이 우려되는 국내 침입 자연개체군의 크기 및 유입경로를 추론하는 데 중요한 정보가 될 것이며, 이후 국내 자연개체군 대량 발생의 분석과 모니터링에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

節肢動物 甲殼類는 種이나 크기가 매우 다양하고 食性이나 攝食方法에 있어서도 크게 다르다. 특히 十脚目의 胃는 다른 일부 目과 더불어 濾過攝食의 構造的인 特徵 때문에 간수장이나 中腸前盲囊, 中腸後盲囊에 대한 연구는 많이 되어 있으나 中腸 자체에 대하여는 검토된 바가 극히 적다. 본 연구에서는 全羅北道 井邑郡 山內面 菱橋里 溪谷에서 1985年 5月부터 7月 사이에 채집한 민물가재 (Cambaroides similis Koelbel; 甲殼類, 十脚目)의 中腸上皮를 走査電子顯微鏡으로 관찰한 결과, 다음과 같다. 1) 中腸의 앞부분은 中腸上皮가 얕고 조밀한 주름이 불규칙하게 이루어져 있고 길이 1-3 $\\mu$m의 微細絨毛가 적게는 2-3개에서 많은 경우 10개 정도까지 1열로 배열되어 있다. 2) 中腸의 중앙에 이르면서 주름은 점점 얕아지면서 微細絨毛는 다소 굵어져 한 집단 1열 내지 3열정도의 배열을 이루고 隆起의 腸腔에 接한 면에서 주름진 골을 따라 깊어지면서 微細絨毛의 數는 30개 정도에서 점점 줄어 드디어는 나타나지 않는다. 3) 中腸의 中央部에서 後端에 이르면서 微細絨毛는 가늘고 길어지며(길이 2.5-4 $\\mu$) 많은 경우 한 줄에 12개까지 배열되어 있고 일부는 그 밑줄에 4-5개까지 추가된다. 4) 中腸의 後端에 이르면 다시 腸表面은 첫 부분과 같이 얕고 조밀한 주름이 져있는데 그 주름의 기슭마다에는 한 줄당 15까지의 가늘고 긴(길이, 2-7 $\\mu$m) 微細絨毛가 나 있고 어떤 것은 열외로 5개 정도까지 덧나있는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서 관찰된 모든 微細絨毛는 뒤쪽을 향하고 있었다.

Background: Cambaroides similis is an endangered candidate species living in the stream of South Korea. Freshwater crayfish is known to decline rapidly not only domestically, but also internationally. Its decline is projected to be further exacerbated due to climate change. Understanding physical characteristics of the habitat is crucial for the conservation of an organism. However, comprehensive data regarding the distribution and physical habitat characteristics of C. similis are currently unavailable in South Korea. Thus, the objective of this study was to ascertain preferred ranges for water depth, current velocity, and streambed substrate of C. similis using Weibull model. Results: In this study, C. similis was found at 59 sites across 12 regions in South Korea. Its optimal water depth preferences ranged from 11.9 cm to 30.1 cm. Its current velocity preferences ranged from 9.8 cm s^-1 to 29.1 cm s^-1. Its substrate preferences ranged from -5.1 𝜱_m to -2.5 𝜱_m. Median values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth of 21.4 cm, current velocity of 21.2 cm s^-1, and substrate of -4.1 𝜱_m. Mean values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth of 21.8 cm, current velocity of 22.0 cm s^-1, and substrate of -4.4 𝜱_m. Mode values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth of 21.7 cm, current velocity of 20.1 cm s^-1, and substrate of -3.7 𝜱_m. Conclusions: Based on habitat suitability analysis, physical microhabitat characteristics of C. similis within a stream were identified as Run section with coarse particle substrate, low water depth, and slow current velocity. Due to high sensitivity of these habitats to environmental changes, prioritized selection and assessment of threats should be carried out as a primary step.

A paragonimiasis infestation is caused by the paragonimus species. Paragonimiasis mainly occurs by ingestion of raw or undercooked freshwater crabs or crayfish. In our country, the prevalence of paragonimiasis was high until late 1960s due to eating habits, but after the 1970s the prevalence of the disease has markedly decreased and now the disease is rarely seen. The diagnosis of tuberculosis by Chest X-ray is often confused with pulmonary carcinoma, bacillary and parasitic infections, and chronic mycosis. Pulmonary paragonimiasis must be considered in the differential diagnosis of lung cancer especially in the appropriate clinical setting because effective treatment with praziquantel can be rewarding. We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with pulmonary paragonimiasis that was suspicious for lung cancer, as detected by biopsy.

Bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP-1) is part of a complex capable of inducing ectopic bone formation in mammals. Studies on TGF-β1 processing and Drosophila dorsal-ventral patterning have focused attention on BMP-1 as important in mediating the biological activity of this bone inducing complex. Herein, the bacterial expression, refolding, purification, and initial characterization of the BMP-1 proteolytic domain (BPD) are described. A semi-quantitative fluorescence-based thin layer chromatography assay was developed to assist in rapidly screening for optimal renaturation conditions. According to a preliminary screen for optimal conditions for the refolding of BPD , a detectable proteolytic activity against a high turnover substrate for astacin, a homologous protease from crayfish was observed. The conditions identified have allowed the expression of sufficient amounts of BPD for the characterization of the protein. Its proteolytic activity exhibits the same cleavage specificity as astacin against seven substrates that were previously synthesized for studying astacin. Furthermore, this activity is inhibited by the metal chelator 1,10-phenanthroline but not by its analogue 1,7-phenanthroline. The collagenase inhibitor Pro-Leu-Gly hydroxamate was found to inhibit both astacin and BPD activity. The results presented in this paper argue that BMP-1 does in fact possess an intrinsic proteolytic activity.

We report a chronic cerebral paragonimiasis from a 41-year-old Korean man who complains a headache and weakness of left motor neuron components. Magnetic resonance images of the brain revealed conglomerates of multiple ring-like enhancements in tempore-occipital and frontal lobes of the right hemisphere. An intradermal test for paragonimiasis westermani was positive. The patient was born near an endemic area of paragonimiasis and used to eat boiled or grilled freshwater crayfish in his childhood. Nodules in the brain were resected through craniotomies. The eggs of P. westemani were identified pathologically and parasitologically in the calcified necrotic lesions. Examinations on sputum and fecal specimens for the eggs of P. westemani were shown to be negative and a chest radiograph was normal. It is presumed that the brain lesions were formed by P. westemani approximately 30 years ago.
