Relative to the large number of photosynthetic dinoflagellate species, only a select few possess proteinaceous, carotenoid-rich eyespots which have been demonstrated in other algae to act in phototactic responses. The proteins comprising the different categories of dinoflagellate eyespots are positioned in or near the peridinin-containing photosynthetic plastid membranes which are composed primarily of two galactolipids, mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG). Within eyespot-containing dinoflagellates, this arrangement occurs mostly in those with secondary plastids, although some dinoflagellates with tertiary plastids of diatom origin are known to possess eyespots. We here provide an examination of the MGDG and DGDG composition of eyespot-containing dinoflagellates with secondary, peridinin-containing plastids and tertiary plastids of diatom origin to address the fundamental question of whether eyespots and their component proteins and carotenoids are associated with alterations in galactolipid composition when compared to eyespot-lacking photosynthetic dinoflagellates. This is an important question because the dinoflagellate eyespot-plastid membrane system can be considered a more complicated and evolved state of plastid development. Included in this examination are data on the previously unexamined peridinin- and type A eyespot-containing dinoflagellate Margalefidinium polykrikoides, and the type D eyespot-containing, aberrant plastid "dinotom" Durinskia baltica. In addition, we have reviewed the galactolipid composition of algae from the Chlorophyceae, Cryptophyceae, and Euglenophyceae as a comparison to determine if algal classes apart from the Dinophyceae contain altered galactolipids in association with eyespots. We conclude that the presence of an eyespot in dinoflagellates and other algae is not associated with noticeable changes in galactolipid composition.

Cryptoglena pigra Ehrenberg from Korea was a photosynthetic euglenoid alga, which had typical characteristics of the Euglenales. The ultrastructure examination of C. pigra revealed certain features which were distinctly photosynthetic euglenoid: one U-shaped chloroplast with thylakoid membranes; two paramylon grains appressed to both sides of the chloroplast; eyespot associated with the chloroplast but not part of it. Three flagellar roots were associated with the two basal bodies. The four-membered dorsal root arose from the dorsal body and extended anteriorly following the reservoir membrane. At the base of the reservoir the dorsal band was nucleated by the dorsal root and it ran anteriorly between the reservoir membrane and eyespot. The dorsal band was continued with the microtubules of the canal and the pellicle. The singlet dorsal microtubules at the transition level arranged into doublets by a successive linkage of the existing adjacent microtubules, and the doublets rearranged into the cytoskeletal microtubules that were continuous with four microtubules in pellicles. Finally, the sixteen ridges gave rise to the pellicular ridges. The five to six-membered ventral root extended anteriorly into a cytoplasmic pocket through the reservoir and lined a cytoplasmic pocket.

Fibricoia seoulensis 충란의 성숙과 탈각에 대하여 미치는 온도, 염도, 공기주입 및 빛의 영 향을 관찰하고자, 몇가지 조건 하에서 충란을 배양하고 eyespots의 출현과 탈각 상태를 관찰하였다. 그 결과는 아래와 같다. 1. 증류수에 넣고 실온 II($11^{\circ}{\sim}26^{\circ}C$) 와 $28^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 충란 중에서는 $4{\sim}5$일부터 eyespots이 관찰되어 7일 이후에는 90% 이상에서 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 $4^{\circ}C$와 실온 I($5^{\circ}{\sim}15^{\circ}C$)에서는 배양 18일까지도 eyespots이 관찰되지 않았다. 2. 충란의 탈각은 배양 $8{\sim}9$일에 일어나기 시작하여 배양 2주에 탈각율이 $28^{\circ}C$에서는 90% 이상이었으나, 실온 II($11^{\circ}{\sim}26^{\circ}C$)에서 5%, 실온 I($5^{\circ}{\sim}15^{\circ}C$)과 $4^{\circ}C$에서 0%이었다. 3. $28^{\circ}C$에서 공기를 주업하면서 배양한 충란의 eyespots출현율과 탈각율이 공기주업 없이 배양한 충란의 것과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4. 염도 0.6% 이하에서는 7일 째에 90% 이상의 충란이 성숙하여 eyespots가 관찰되었으나, 0.9% 식염수에서는 20 일에 55.0%에서 나타났고 1.2%에서는 전혀 관찰되지 않았다. 5. 증류수와 0.15% 식염수에서는 9일에 90% 이상의 충란이 탈각하였으나 0.3% 용액에서는 70%, 0.6% 용액에서는 10%에 지나지 않았고, 0.9% 이상 농도의 식염수에서는 전혀 탈각하지 않았다. 6. 빛을 차단한 채 10일간 $28^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 충란의 경우 12.5%가 탈각하였고, 이들을 빛에 노출시키고 2시간 후에는 성숙한 충란의 85.7%가 탈각하였다. 이상의 결과와 우리나라의 외계 온도를 고려하면, 논에서 F. seoulensis의 생활사가 실제로 이어지는 시기는 5월 부터 9월의 사이일 것으로 추정된다. 또한 염도가 0.3% 이하일 경우 별 지장을 받지 않으나 염도가 증가함에 따라 탈각과 성숙이 모두 억제되는데 특히 탈각이 더 예민하게 영향을 받았다.

Compared to marine dinoflagellates, freshwater species are rarely recorded in Korea. In the present study, we isolated a freshwater dinoflagellate, Palatinus, from the Paldang Reservoir, Korea, in December 2021. The overall cell shape was ovoid, and the cell size was 34.3 ㎛ in length (25.8-39.5 ㎛) and 28.4 ㎛ in width (21.5-34 ㎛). An eyespot was usually observed near the sulcal region. The Kofoidian plate formula of the species was determined to be 4', 2a, 7", 6c, 5s, 5''', and 2''''. Apical pore complex was not observed. However, variations in the cingular plate caused by the fusion of 3C and 4C were observed. Analyses of 28S rDNA sequences revealed that the unidentified species is 100% similar to Palatinus apiculatus, and clustered together in the same lineage in the phylogenetic tree (100% bootstrap value). Our findings confirmed that the isolated dinoflagellate is Palatinus apiculatus, which was discovered for the first time in Korean freshwaters.

The genus Chroomonas is a group of blue-green colored cryptomonads. This study describes two freshwater Chroomonas species for the first time in South Korea: Chroomonas nordstedtii Hansgirg and Chroomonas coerulea (Geitler) Skuja. We examined the morphology and ultrastructure of these species by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. These two Chroomonas species were blue-green colored and ovate to oval-shaped. Chroomonas nordstedtii was characterized by two Maupas ovals with hexagonal periplast plates, whereas C. coerulea was characterized by one eyespot with rectangular periplast plates. A molecular phylogeny with data from nuclear SSU rRNA and chloroplast rbcL genes revealed that Korean C. nordstedtii formed a distinct clade with NIES-708, NIES-1004 from Japan, and UTEX 2779 from Colorado, USA, while C. coerulea formed a clade with ACOI 1366 from Portugal.

Dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium are known as zooxanthellae and exist as either symbiotic or free-living forms. Among this genus, two species, Symbiodinium minutum and Symbiodinium psygmophilum, were recently established based on genetic characters. However, some critical morphological characters of these species, such as plate formulae and related diagnoses have not been provided yet. In this study, we analyzed the morphology of S. minutum and S. psygmophilum by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The S. minutum had the Kofoidian plate formula consisting of a small plate (x), elongated amphiesmal vesicle (EAV), 4', 5a, 8", 7s, two cingulum rows, 18-20c, 6''', and 2'''', while S. psygmophilum had x, EAV, 4', 5a, 8", 7-10s, two cingulum rows, 20-22c, 5-6''', and 1''''. These plate formulae are different from any other reported Symbiodinium species. In addition, both species had a pentagonal 1a plate and a hexagonal 2a plate, while other known Symbiodinium species had a hexagonal 1a plate and a pentagonal 2a plate. Thus, we confirm the species status of S. minutum and S. psygmophilum based on morphological and genetic characters and report the detailed morphological characteristics of these two species.

Bacillus subtilis EBS05, an endophytic bacteria strain isolated from a medicinal plant Cinnamomum camphor, can produce antagonistic compounds that effectively inhibit plant pathogenic fungi. The greenhouse experiments showed that wheat sharp eyespot disease (WSED) was reduced by 91.2%, 88.2% and 43.0% after the treatment with fermentation broth, bacteria-free filter and a fungicide fludioxonil, respectively. The culture broth of strain EBS05 can more effectively control WSED than can fludioxonil. The fermentation broth and bacteria-free filter ability to suppress WSED was not significantly different, suggesting that an active secreted substance played a major role in controlling WSED. Separation and purification of the active compounds was carried out by serial processes, including hydrochloric acid (pH 2.0) treatment, methanol extraction and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, silica gel column chromatography and reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. The purified compounds, one of active peaks in the HPLC spectrum, were obtained from the collection. Analysis of the chemical structures by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) showed that the active substances produced by the endophytic bacteria EBS05 are mixture of the ${\beta}$-hydroxy-C12~C15-$Leu^7$ surfactin A isomers with 1035.65 Da, 1021.64 Da, 1007.63 Da and 993.65 Da molecular weights, respectively.

To identify the food component characteristics of seven edible pufferfishes (five wild pufferfishes including striped puffer Takifugu xanthopterus; eyespot puffer Takifugu chinensis; purple puffer Takifugu porphyreus; rough-backed puffer Lagocephalus wheeleri; and grass puffer Takifugu niphobles; and two cultured pufferfishes including yellow puffer Takifugu obscurus, and tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes) in Korea, the proximate, fatty/amino acid, chemical and taste compositions were investigated. The proximate compositions were not significantly different among the sampled pufferfishes, whereas grass puffer had lower moisture and crude lipid levels contents, and higher crude protein and ash contents than the other species. The total amino acid levels in wild and cultured pufferfishes were 14,941.6-16,427.9 mg/100 g, and the major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, leucine, lysine and arginine. Regarding the fatty acid and mineral compositions, the major fatty acids included 22:6n-3, 16:0, 18:1n-9, 20:5n-3, 18:0, 20:4n-3, and 22:5n-3 in that order, and there was a little difference among the sampled pufferfishes. Grass puffer had a higher monoenes ratio, i.e., 16:1n-7 and 18:1n-9, and a lower polyenes ratio than the other pufferfishes. The main minerals detected K, P, Na, S and Ca. Regarding the taste-active compounds, the free amino acid contents of pufferfish extracts were 236.4-428.1 mg/100 g, consisting primarily of taurine, lysine, proline, glycine, alanine and arginine in that order. The amino nitrogen content of the pufferfishes was 84.5-156.4 mg/100 g, and there was a little difference among the species. As for taste intensity, the total taste value of the purple puffer was higher than that of the other pufferfishes.
