A bacterial strain (Strain N-08) capable of extracellularly producing high level of non-reducing oligosaccharide (NR-OS) isolated from soil. The strain was identified phylogenetically by 16S rDNA sequence analysis and found to be very close to Arthrobacter crystallopoietes. The high production of NR-OS was observed in the basal culture medium containing maltose as a sole carbon source. The NR-OS in culture supernatant was purified by glucoamylase treatment and Dowex-1 (OH.) ion exchange chromatography and its structure was characterized. This oligosaccharide consisted of only glucose. Methylation analysis indicated that this fraction was composed mainly of non-reducing terminal glucopyranoside. Matrixassisted laser-induced/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)/MS analyses suggested that this oligosaccharide comprised non-reducing disaccharide unit with 1,1-glucosidic linkage. When this disaccharide was analyzed by $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR, it gave the same signals with $\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl-(1,1)-$\alpha$-Dglucopyranoside. These results indicated that the NR-OS produced by A. crystallopoietes N-08 was ${\alpha}1$,${\alpha}1$-trehalose. This is the first report of the trehalose which can be produced directly from maltose by A. crystallopoietes N-08.

In July 2023, previously unrecorded fungi belonging to the genus Helvella were collected from the city of Taebaek, South Korea. These fungi are morphologically similar to Helvella crispa, but their differences include a wide, saddle-shaped apothecium and white hair on the receptacle surface. By analyzing DNA sequences combining the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU) regions and comparing them with various related species of Helvella, the collected fungi were identified as H. orienticrispa.

Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber has been traditionally used to treat the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain. The main constituents are diterpenoid alkaloids such as benzoylmesaconine, benzoylaconine, mesaconitine, aconitine, and hypaconitine. In Korea, Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber is officially defined as the tubers of Aconitum kusnezoffii Reichb., A. ciliare Decasisne, and A. triphyllum Nakai. On the other hand, only the tuber of A. kusnezoffii is to be used in China. In order to identify the botanical origin of Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber circulated in Korea, we analyzed 24 samples of Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber obtained from local markets for comparative DNA analysis. The sequence analysis of nrRNA ITS 1 was useful to distinguish Aconitum species and revealed that the roots of A. karakolicum were circulated in Korean markets without discretion. HPLC quantitative analysis showed that aconitine was detected at the highest amount in A. karakolicum. Authentic diterpenoid alkaloids were coinjected for quantification of aconitine-type ingredients. All data were statistically grouped by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This study suggests that both molecular and chemical analyses should be utilized for the standardization and the quality control for Aconiti Kusnezoffii Tuber.

This work was performed to confirm the molecular discrimination through the nrITS1 sequences among 3 taxa of Scirpus L. sensu lato (s.l.) species. S. planiculmis represented only 2 base sequence variations with S. maritimus in spite that they showed different morphological features. The nucleotide sequences of the ITS1 region from S. planiculmis were shown to have 99.1% homology with S. maritimus and 60.4% homology with S. triqueter. Although the morphology of S. planiculmis is similar with S. triqueter, molecular basis of the size and sequences on ITS1 region were shown to have distinctive differences. For divergency investigation on same sites and metapopulation, sequencing was conducted on ITS1 region with partial 5.8S and 18S regions. All plants of each species collected at the same site had identical band size pattern and sequences. Intraspecific molecular divergency was not identified in spite that these species live in different wetland sites. The ITS1 sequences described here provided a powerful genetic tool for phylogenetic studies which was difficult by morphological identification as high rate of morphological plasticity.

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)

Phylogenetic analyses were conducted to evaluate evolution and relationship of 16 taxa of Korean Geranium including 3 outgroups using ITS (internal transcribed spacer) squences of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Phylogenetic studies used most parsimony and neighbor-joining methods including bootstrapping and jackknifing analysis. As the result, Korean Geranium forms monophyletic group. In the parsimony tree G. koraiense var. hallasanense situated as the most basal clade and Erianthum group forms one clade by high bootstrap ans jackknife values (100% of bootstrap and jackknife values). G.dahuricum as one of the Krameri group is closely related with Palustre group by very weak relationship (37% of bootstrap and 44% of jackknife values) and the node collapse in the strict tree. G. Knuthii which was one of wilfordii group is closely related with Koreanum group. G. sibiricum, one of Sibiricum group, is the most closest relationship with G. soboliferum and these species are sister to G. krameri. G. tripartitum and G. wilfordii which are wilfordii group are linked to G. nepalense, G. thunbergii f. pallidum and G. thunbergii. This result suggested that the phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequences should be useful to address phylogenetic questions on the genus Korean Geranium.

Phylogenetic analyses were conducted to evaluate relationships of 5 taxa of Korean Hydrocotyle, H. spp. found in the Ulleung island including one outgroup (Centella asiatica). The molecular phylogenetic methods based on nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS region and cpDNA trnH-psbA region. Centella asiatica was used outgroup for analysis. As the result, genus Korean Hydrocotyle were grouped by 94% bootstrap value. Korean Hydrocotyle was grouped by four clades; Clade I-H. maritima, H. sibthorpides and H. yabei clade Clade II-H. nepalensis clade clade III-H. ramiflora clade clade IV-H. spp. clade. H. maritima, H. sibthorpides and H. yabei was not distinguished, seperately. H. spp. was distinctly distinguished other Korean Hydrocotyle.
