한국산 담배풀속(Carpesium L.) 7분류군과 3개의 외군(Inula britannica L., Inula germanica L., Rhanteriopsis lannginosa(DC.) Rauschert)을 대상으로 유연관계를 파악하기 위하여 nuclear ribosomal DNA(nrDNA) 중 ITS(internal transcribed spacer) 지역의 계통분류학적 분석을 수행하였다. 계통분류학적 연구방법은 maximum parsimony, neighbor-joining와 maximum likelihood 방법을 사용하였다. 정렬된 계통분의 총 길이는 731 bp이며, ITS1, ITS2와 5.8S 부위의 길이는 각각 284~297 bp, 264~266 bp와 164 bp로 나타났다. 계통분류학 변이를 보이는 site는 111개로 확인 되었으며, 그 중 64개의 site가 계통학적으로 유효한 것으로 나타났고, ITS1 지역이 ITS2 지역보다 염기 변이가 다양하게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 그 결과, 한국산 담배풀속은 단계통을 형성하였으며, 담배풀(C. abrotanoides L.)이 가장 기저부에 위치하였다. 여우오줌(C. macrocephalum Franch. & Sav.)와 두메담배풀(C. triste Maxim.)은 가까운 유연관계를 나타냈으며, 애기담배풀(C. rosulatum Miq.)와 천일담배풀(C. glossophyllum Maxim.) 그리고 좀담배풀(C. cernuum L.)와 긴담배풀(C. divaricatum Siebold & Zucc.)도 유연관계가 가깝게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 담배풀속 nrDNA의 ITS 지역 염기서열에 기초한 분자 계통학적 연구는 계통분류를 이해하는데 유용한 방법으로 판단된다.

Korean rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii, is a representative bony fish that belongs to the family Scorpaenidae and the order Scorpaeniformes. It has high ecological and economic value and is widely cultivated in many East Asian countries, including South Korea, Japan and China. One of streptococci, Streptococcus iniae, is Gram-positive cocci with a negative reaction for catalase and oxidase. The Korean rockfish shows clinical signs when infected with S. iniae, such as body darkening, bleeding, enlarged kidneys, blurred eyes, abdominal distension, etc., ultimately leading to death. The Korean rockfish causes significant economic losses every year in South Korea due to streptococcosis. In this study, we identified bacteria from the fish using polymerase chain reaction and conducted analyses of hemolytic activity and biochemical tests using API 20 STREP and API ZYM systems. Results of confirming the hemolytic activity (n=4) observed in alpha-type hemolysis (25%), beta-type hemol- ysis (50%), and gamma-type hemolysis (25%) of isolates. The biochemical test results exhibited sig- nificant variation among S. iniae. Additionally, we performed intraperitoneal injection with S. iniae in the fish and analyzed the phylogenetic tree using housekeeping genes of S. iniae, including cpsD, arcC, glnA, groEL, gyrB, mutS, pheT, prkC, rpoB, and tkt, via multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The lethal dose (LD₅₀) showed strong pathogenicity, such as 3.34 × 10 colony-forming unit (CFU)/ml for 23FBStr0601 strain and 7.16 × 10 CFU/ml for 23FBStr0602 strain. 23FBStr0603 strain showed relatively low pathogenicity at 1.73 × 10⁵ CFU/ml. The strains 23FBStr0601 and 23FBStr0602, which showed strong pathogenicity, clustered into one monophyletic group. The 23FBStr0603 strain showed weak pathogenicity and formed a monophyletic group with KCTC 3657.

$Arthrospira$ $platensis$ and $Arthrospira$ $maxima$ are species of cyanobacteria used in health foods, animal feed, food additives, and fine chemicals. This study conducted a comparison of the 16S rRNA gene and $cpcBA$-intergenic spacer ($cpcBA$-IGS) sequences in $Arthrospira$ strains from culture collections around the world. A cluster analysis divided the 10 $Arthrospira$ strains into two main genotypic clusters, designated I and II, where Group I contained $A.$ $platensis$ SAG 86.79, UTEX 2340, $A.$ $maxima$ KCTC AG30054, and SAG 49.88, while Group II contained $A.$ $platensis$ PCC 9108, NIES 39, NIES 46, and SAG 257.80. However, although $A.$ $platensis$ PCC 9223 belonged to Group II-2 based on its $cpcBA$-IGS sequence, this strain also belonged to Group I based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene and $cpcBA$-IGS sequences showed no division between $A.$ $platensis$ and $A.$ $maxima$, plus the 16S rRNA gene and $cpcBA$-IGS sequence clusters did not indicate any well-defined geographical distribution, instead overlapping in a rather interesting way. Therefore, the current study supports some previous conclusions based on 16S rRNA gene and $cpcBA$-IGS sequences, which found that $Arthrospira$ taxa are monophyletic. However, when compared with 16S rRNA sequences, $cpcBA$-IGS sequences may be better suited to resolve close relationships and intraspecies variability.

한국산 Geranium(쥐손이풀속) 16분류군과 3개의 군외군을 대상으로 진화와 유연관계를 평가하기 위하여 nuclear ribosomal DNA 중 internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 구간에 대한 계통 분류학적 분석을 수행하였다. 계통 분류학적 연구들은 bootstrapping, jackknifing을 포함한 parsimony 방법과 neighbor-joining 방법을 사용하였다. 그 결과 한국산 쥐손이풀속은 단계통군을 형성하였다. Parsimony tree에서 한라이질풀은 가장 기부에 위치하였으며 Erianthum group은 높은 지지도에 의해 하나의 분계조를 형성하였다(100% bootstrap과 jackknife values). Krameri group인 산쥐손이는 Palustre group인 섬쥐손이와 가까이 위치하였으나 그 지지도는 매우 낮았고(37% bootstrap과 44% jackknife values) strict tree에서는 clade가 붕괴되었다. Wilfordii group에 분류되었던 큰세잎쥐손이는 Koreanum group과 가까이 위치하였고, Sibiricum group인 쥐손이풀은 Krameri group인 삼쥐손이와 가까이 위치하였으며 또한 이 두 종은 역시 Krameri group인 선이질풀과 자매군을 이루었다. Wilfordii group인 좀쥐손이와 세잎쥐손이는 Sibiricum group인 삼이질풀, 이질풀과 가까이 위치하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 많은 학자들에 의해 논란이 된 분류군들의 문제를 해결하는데 유용한 접근방법이라 생각되며, 전체 쥐손이풀속 수준에서의 계통분석에 유용한 도구로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A freshwater bacterium, designated $IMCC1713^T$, was isolated from a highly eutrophic artificial pond. Cells of the strain were Gram-negative, chemoheterotrophic, poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate granule containing and obligately aerobic short rods that were motile with a single polar flagellum. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis showed that the novel strain was most closely related to the species Roseateles depolymerans (96.3%), Mitsuaria chitosanitabida (96.2%), Ideonella dechloratans (96.2%), and Pelomonas saccharophila (96.1%) in the Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix group within the order Burkholderiales. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate formed an independent monophyletic clade within the order Burkholderiales. The relatively low DNA G+C content (57.4mol%), together with several phenotypic characteristics, differentiated the novel strain from other members of the Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix group. From the taxonomic data, therefore, the strain should be classified as a novel genus and species, for which the name Inhella inkyongensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the proposed species is strain $IMCC1713^T$ (=KCTC $12791^T$=NBRC $103252^T$=CCUG $54308^T$).

The newly sequenced complete mitochondrial genome of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys($St{\aa}l$) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a circular molecule of 16,518 bp with a total A+T content of 76.4% and two extensive repeat regions in A+T rich region. Nucleotide composition and codon usage of H. halys are about average when compared with values observed in 19 other published hemipteran mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analyses using these 20 hemipteran mitochondrial genomes support the currently accepted hypothesis that suborders Heteroptera and Auchenorrhyncha form a monophyletic group. The mitochondrial gene arrangements of the 20 genomes are also consistent with our results.

The distribution and genotypes of the sea nettle Chrysaora pacifica have been reported in the South Sea of Korea; however, little research work has been attempted in the East Sea. Here, we collected similar jellyfishes from the East Sea coasts (Goseong, Yangyang and Sokcho), and identified them to the sea nettle morphologically. In addition, the genotypes of these sea nettle were compared with those from the South Sea (Tongyeong and Geoje). Phylogenetic analysis by using the mitochondrial COI sequences showed that the genus Chrysaora was clearly separated from other taxa to be formed a monophyletic group, with each species distinctly separated. C. pacifica in the East and South Seas was separated geographically by the COI phylogeography, representing potentially different populations. The COI gene of the Korean C. pacifica had approximately 7 times more genetic variation than the nuclear ITS rDNA, and thus it might be considered as a useful marker for genetic analysis of the jellyfish population.

The glutathione S-transferase (GSTs) are enzymes responsible for the protection of cells from chemical toxicants and oxidative stress. We describe here the cDNA sequence and mRNA expression of a putative GST from the mole cricket, Gryllotalpa orientalis. The G. orientalis GST cDNA sequences comprised of 621 bp encoding 207 amino acid residues. The multiple sequence alignment of G. orientalis GST gene with other known insect GSTs showed several conserved residues that may be essential for the enzymatic activity of the protein. Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences of G. orientalis GST gene with other insect GST sequences revealed that the G. orientalis GST gene belongs to class I GST, forming a strong monophyletic group (100% bootstrap value) exclusively for class I GSTs from a diverse insect species. Northern blot analysis confirmed midgut-specific expression at transcriptional level, evidencing the midgut as a site for GST synthesis.
