High substrate costs decrease the profitability of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) production, and thus low-cost carbon substrates coming from agricultural and industrial residuals are tested for the production of these biopolymers. Among them, crude glycerol, formed as a by-product during biodiesel production, seems to be the most promising source of carbon. The object of this study was to characterize the mixed population responsible for the conversion of crude glycerol into PHAs by cultivation-dependent and -independent methods. Enrichment of the microbial community was monitored by applying the Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis (RISA), and the identification of community members was based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing of cultivable species. Molecular analysis revealed that mixed populations consisted of microorganisms affiliated with four bacterial lineages: ${\alpha}$, ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroides. Among these, three Pseudomonas strains and Rhodobacter sp. possessed genes coding for polyhydroxyalkanoates synthase. Comparative analysis revealed that most of the microorganisms detected by direct molecular analysis were obtained by the traditional culturing method.

The intergenic spacer(IGS) sequence of Fusarium oxysporum have been reported to provide reliable information concerning intraspecific variation and phylogeny of fungal species. The eleven strains of Fusarium oxysporum and its formae speciales belonging to section Elegans were compared with sequencing analysis. The direct sequencing of partial IGS was carried out using PCR with primer NIGS1(5'-CTTCGCCTCGATTTCCCCAA-3')/NIGS2(5'-TCGTCGCCGACAGTTTTCTG-3') and internal primer NIGS3(5'-TCGAGGATCGATTCGAGG-3')/NIGS4(5'-CCTCGAATCGATCCTCGA-3'). A single PCR product was found for each strain. The PCR fragments were sequenced and revealed a few within species polymorphisms at the sequence level. The size of partial IGS sequencing of F. oxysporum was divided into three groups; $526{\sim}527$ bp including F. o. f. sp. chrysanthemi, cucumerinum, cyclaminis, lycopersici, and fragariae; $514{\sim}516$ bp including F. o. f. sp. lilii, conglutinans, and raphani; 435 bp for F. o. f. sp. cucumerinum from Korea. Sequence analysis of PCR products showed that transitions were more frequent than transversions as well as the average numbers of substitution per site were range 0.41% to 3.54%.

Colonies of three independent gametophytes (one that is filamentous and two that are ribbon-like) without sporophytes occur in Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, Gyeongsang-do, and Jeju-do, Korea. They have a moss-like appearance at first sight, with tiny plantlets and gemmae, and grow in cool, shaded, relatively deep dint places of large rocks, such as the small caves in high mountains, close to valleys. The gametophytes were identified based on morphological and molecular data by chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) sequence data (rbcL, rps4 gene and rps4-trnS intergenic spacer). Here, rbcL, rps4 gene and rps4-trnS intergenic spacer data of one independent gametophyte distributed in Korea have the same morphology, DNA sequence and monophyletic group as Crepidomanes intricatum from the eastern United States. They also share the same cpDNA data with Crepidomanes schmidtianum recently reported from Korea. The other independent gametophyte should be Hymenophyllum wrightii based on cpDNA data. The last one was presumed to be Pleurosoriopsis makinoi based on molecular data. The taxonomic status was confirmed to be the forma of Hymenophyllum wrightii through a revision of Hymenophyllum wrightii f. serratum based on molecular data.

Giardia intestinalis infections arise primarily from contaminated food or water Zoonotic transmission is possible, and at least 7 major assemblages including 2 assemblages recovered from humans have been identified. The determination of the genotype of G. intestinalis is useful not only for assessing the correlation of clinical symptoms and genotypes, but also for finding the infection route and its causative agent in epidemiological studies. In this study, methods to identify the genotypes more specifically than the known 2 genotypes recovered from humans have been developed using the intergenic spacer (IGS) region of rDNA. The IGS region contains varying sequences and is thus suitable for comparing isolates once they are classified as the same strain. Genomic DNA was extracted from cysts isolated from the feces of 5 Chinese, 2 Laotians and 2 Koreans infected with G. intestinalis and the trophozoites of WB, K1, and GS strains cultured in the laboratory, respectively. The rDNA containing the IGS region was amplified by PCR and cloned. The nucleotide sequence of the 3' end of IGS region was determined and examined by multiple alignment and phylogenetic analysis. Based on the nucleotide sequence of the IGS region, 13 G. intestinalis isolates were classified to assemblages A and B, and assemblage A was subdivided into A1 and A2. Then, the primers specific to each assemblage were designed, and PCR was peformed using those primers. It detected as little as 10 pg of DNA, and the PCR amplified products with the specific length to each assemblage (A1, 176bp; A2, 261 bp; B, 319 bp) were found. The PCR specific to 3 assemblages of G. intestinalis did not react with other bacteria or protozoans, and it did not react with G. intestinalis isolates obtained from dogs and rats. It was thus confirmed that by applying this PCR method amplifying the IGS region, the detection of G. intestinalis and its genotyping can be determined simultaneously.

제비꽃속 42집단에 대한 계통 유연관계를 알아보기 위하여 엽록체 DNA의 matK 유전자와 atpB-rbcL intergenic spacer 지역에 대한 염기서열을 분석하였다. MatK 분석에서는 노랑제비꽃절과 장백제비꽃절이 독립된 clade를 형성하였으며, 진정제비꽃절의 5개 아절은 paraphyletic하게 분리되었다. AtpB-rbcL 분석에서는 노랑제비꽃절이 단계통을 형성하였지만, 장백제비꽃절은 잔털제비꽃을 제외한 제비꽃아절 분류군들이 포함되어 있는 clade의자매군을 형성하였고, 진정제비꽃절은 paraphyletic한 분계조로 분리되어, matK 유전자와는 장백제비꽃절과 잔털제비꽃의 위치에 차이를 보였다. 두 가지 유전자의 염기서열 자료를 유합하여 분석한 결과는 제비꽃속 분류군들이 크게 3개의 분계조로 유집되는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 기본염색체 수가 x=6인 노랑제비꽃절과 장백제비꽃절은 아욱제비꽃아절과 낚시제비꽃아절(x=10)에 속하는 분류군들이 포함된 clade의 자매군을 형성하면서 분리되었고, 잔털제비꽃은 진정제비꽃절의 콩제비꽃아절과 고깔제비꽃아절(x=10 또는 12)의 분류군들과 함께 분계조를 이루었으며, 잔털제비꽃을 제외한 제비꽃아절 (x=12)의 19개 집단도 하나의 clade를 형성하였다. 그러나 outgroup으로 부터 clade 각각의 기원에 대해서는 선행된 ITS와 trnL-F 지역에 의한 결과와는 일치하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Coryloideae 35집단에 대한 계통 유연관계를 알아보기 위하여 핵 DNA의 waxy 유전자와 엽록체 DNA의 atpB-rbcL intergenic spacer 지역에 대한 염기서열을 분석하였다. Waxy 유전자 분석에서 Coryloideae의 4개 속은 단계통군을 형성하였으며, 개암나무속은 단계통군을 형성하면서 군내군의 가장 기부에 분계조(clade)를 형성하였다. Ostryopsis속은 서어나무속과 새우나무속을 위한 자매군을 형성하였으며, 새우나무속 역시 단계통군을 형성하였다(BS=86, PP=99). AtpB-rbcL 분석에서는 Ostryopsis속이 아과 내에서 가장 기부에 분계조를 형성하였다. 개암나무속은 서어나무속-새우나무속과 Ostryopsis속의 중간에 위치하였고(BS=98, PP=100), 서어나무속은 새우나무속 분류군들과 함께 높은 지지도(BS=100, PP=100)를 가지고 하나의 clade를 형성하였다. Waxy 유전자 분석에서 서어나무속의 Carpinus절은 단계통을 형성하였지만 Distegocarpus절은 병계원군(paraphyletic group)으로 나타났다. 개암나무속의 경우는 2개의 subclade를 형성하였지만 속내 절 또는 아절 등의 분류계급과는 일치하지 않았다. AtpB-rbcL 분석에서는 대부분의 분류군들이 각각의 clade내에서 polytomy를 형성하여 차이를 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 두 유전자의 계통분석 결과가 뚜렷하게 불일치하였고, 특히 Ostryopsis속의 위치와 새우나무속의 단계통 여부, 그리고 서어나무속과 새우나무속의 유연관계가 가장 큰 차이를 보였다. 따라서 이들에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Anthracnose is one of the major problems for cultivating many crops, including vegetables, fruits, and trees. It is a continual threat for fruits grower worldwide. Colletotrichum fructicola was isolated from Shine Muscat berries showing typical anthracnose symptom in Korea. It was identified as C. fructicola based on morphology, pathological signs and concatenated sequences of internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, β-tubulin-2, chitin synthase-1, calmodulin, and the Apn2-Mat1-2 intergenic spacer and partial mating type (Mat1-2) gene. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report first report of anthracnose of Shine Muscat caused by C. fructicola in Korea.

The genus Echinochloa (L.) P. Beauv. comprised of approximately 30-40 species in the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world, including numerous interspecific and intraspecific types which make the genus difficult to identify. As an attempt to identify the species within the genus easier, the taxonomy of the genus Echinochloa, Poaceae in Korea was reviewed on the basis of sequencing data derived from nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and external transcribe spacer and chloroplast DNA trnL intron, trnL-F intergenic spacer and matK regions using a total of 46 accessions representing all the species in Korea. The results of maximum parsimony found separate lineage comprised of E. colona and E. frumentaceae which are not Korean species, but no resolution within Korean Echinochloa species, supporting the suggestion of Yamaguchi group that E. crus-galli, E. oryzoides, and E. esculenta should be considered to belong to the same species. However, the relationship between these three species and the other species, i.e. E. oryzicola should be better understood with more detail studies.
