These studies were conducted to compare the external morphologies of 15 species of land snails in 8 genera of family Bradybaenidae in Korea. Principal component analyses of 15 species can be divided into five groups based on the morphological characters and the result of cluster analyses were in accord with the principal component analyses. The morphological intraspecific similarity of Nesiohelix samarangae of Mitan and Cheju population(S=0.999) proved to be highest. The degree of interspecific similarity between Aegista(Plectotropis)divesa and Aegista(plectotropis)quelpartensis(S=0.970)were more similar than the other interspecies.

The family Ulvaceae species are difficult to distinguish from one another on the basis of morphological and cytological criteria alone. ITS2 sequences are hewn to evolve quickly and have been reported to be useful for the study of intraspecific and interspecific variation and biogeography in algae (Bakker et al., 1992). We will here describe the basic characteristics of the ITS2 sequences in Ulva and Effteromorpha to compare our result with the above previous studies. (omitted)

Enzyme activities of Cenococcum geophilum isolates were examined on enzyme- specific solid media. Deoxyribonuclease, phosphatase, and urease were detected in all isolates, whereas cellulase was not detected in any of the isolates. Variations in enzyme activities of amylase, caseinolysis, gelatinase, lipase, and ribonuclease were observed among isolates.

Two marine gastrotrich species are reported from sublittoral sand bottom of Korea: Diplodasys ankeli Wilke, 1954 and D. meloriae Todaro, Balsamo and Tongiorgi, 1992. Both species are redescribed in detail, with the discussion on the intraspecific variability between Korean specimens and the original description or among Korean specimens. The genus Diplodasys is newly recorded from Korea as well as the Northwest Pacific.

The nucleotide sequence of a 447 base pair fragment in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and the complete sequence of the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene, 938 bp, were analyzed to infer inter- and intraspecific genetic relationships of Hyla japonica and H. suweonensis from Korea and H, japonica from Japan. In the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, genetic differentiation among H. japonica populations were 9.62% and 15.66% between H. japonica and H. suweonensis. Based on the Tamura-Nei distance, the level of sequence divergence ranged from 0.45% to 2.75% within Korean H. japonica, while 8.31%-8.87% between Korean and Japanese H. japonica and 11.51%-12.46% between H. japonica and H. suweonensis. In the neigh-bor-joining tree, Korean populations of H. japonica were clustered first at 2.22% and followed by Japanese H. japonica and H. suweonensis at 8.51% and 12.29%, respectively. In mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, genetic differentiation between H. japonica and H. suweonensis nras 7.17% (68 bp) including 7 gaps. Based on Tamura-Nei distance, the level of sequence divergence ranged 3.53% between Korean and Japanese H. japonica and from 4.93% to 5.41% between H. japonica and H. suweonensis. Phenogram pattern of the 12S rRNA gene sequence corresponded with that of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene.

Map-based cloning to find genes of interest, marker-assisted selection (MAS), and marker-assisted breeding (MAB) all require good genetic maps with high reproducible markers. For map construction as well as chromosome assignment, development of single copy PCR-based markers and map integration process are necessary. In this study, the 132 markers (57 STS from BAC-end sequences, 13 STS from RFLP, and 62 SSR) were newly developed as single copy type PCR-based markers. They were used together with 1830 markers previously developed in our lab to construct an integrated map with the Joinmap 3.0 program. This integrated map contained 169 SSR, 354 RFLP, 23 STS from BAC-end sequences, 6 STS from RFLP, 152 AFLP, 51 WRKY, and 99 rRAMP markers on 12 chromosomes. The integrated map contained four genetic maps of two interspecific (Capsicum annuum 'TF68' and C. chinense 'Habanero') and two intraspecific (C. annuum 'CM334' and C. annuum 'Chilsungcho') populations of peppers. This constructed integrated map consisted of 805 markers (map distance of 1858 cM) in interspecific populations and 745 markers (map distance of 1892 cM) in intraspecific populations. The used pepper STS were first developed from end sequences of BAC clones from Capsicum annuum 'CM334'. This integrated map will provide useful information for construction of future pepper genetic maps and for assignment of linkage groups to pepper chromosomes.

In order to compare the intraspecific variation in host-parasite relationship of Clonorchis sinensis, six strains of inbred mice, ICR, DDY, GPC, BALB/c, nude and DS, were infected orally with 20 metacercariae of C. sinensis. The biologic incubation period of C. sinensis was the shortest in DDY mice, 21.2 days in average, followed by GPC 21.4, BALB/c and DS 23.2, ICR and nude 23.4 days, respectively. The fertile period of the cuke was also the longest in the DDY strain, 164 days on average, followed by GPC 132, BALB/c 97, nude 37, DS 32 and ICR 28 days. The egg-laying capacity of the cuke in DDY and GPC was relatively high and stable compared with the other four strains of mice. It was found that there are intraspecific variations in biologic incubation period, fertile period, and fecundity of C. sinensis. The DDY mouse is likely to be the most suitable experimental animal among the six strains of the mice tested. Key words: Mouse strain, Clonorchis sinensis, egg-laying capacity.

The present study was performed to reveal the morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic position of Platynosomum fastosum Kossack, 1910. A total 167 specimens of P. fastosum were collected in 8 (4.9%) out of 163 sets of gall-bladders and bile ducts of cats. The number of worms was 1-105 per infected cat. This species was characterized by having a long and slender body, slightly larger ventral sucker than the oral sucker, indistinct prepharynx, small pharynx, short esophagus, bifurcation midway between 2 suckers, and ceca extending to the posterior end of the body. The length of the partial sequences of ITS1 and 5.8S rDNA of P. fastosum were 990 bp, GC-rich. AT/GC ratio was 0.9, there were 9 polymorphic sites, and intraspecific variations ranged from 0.1% to 0.9%. Phylogenetic analyses by neighbor-joining phylogram inferred from ITS1 rDNA sequences revealed that the genetic distance between P. fastosum specimens ranged from 0.3 to 1.5% while the smallest interspecific distance among dicrocoeliid species was 20.9 %. The redescription and genetic characters of P. fastosum are taxonomically important to recognize future different species of the genus Platynosomum showing high intraspecific and morphological variability.

Intraspecific fusion frequency between Filobasidium capsuligenum CBS6122-2 ade and met trp or met strains was $2.9\times 10^{-3}$ and $8.5\times 10^{-3}$, respectively. And intergeneric fusion frequency between Folobadidium capsuligenum CBS 4318 (cys his) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae 262-12-1 (hom3 thr1) or X2180-1A (ade thr) was $8.8\times 10^{-6}$ and $9.5\times 10^{-4}$, respectively. Nuclear fusion appears to occru in fusants between intraspecies and intergenera as strongly suggested by DNA content, nuclear staining, comparison of survival rate to UV light and mitotic segregation analysis. It was also found that $\alpha$-amylase and glucoamylase activity from intraspecific hybrids was 1.6-2.1 fold increased when compared with that from thier parents.
