소의 주혈원충인 Reileria sp.의 small subunit ribosomal RMh (SSU rRNA) 유전자의 염 기서 열분 석을 위해 한국의 전북 장수로부터 분리하여 계대보관 중인 실험실 보관주 (KLS)와 김제 분리주 (KCB), 그리고 일본의 Shintoku 분리주 (JHS)를 실험에 사용하였다. 이들 분리주로 부터 원충을 회수 한 후 유전자를 추출하여 중합효소연쇄반응에 의 해 1.8 kb의 SSU rRNA 유전자를 증폭시 킬 수 있었으며, 증폭된 유전자를 이용하여 클론을 제작하고. 이들 클론으로 부터 플라스미드를 추출하여 유전자 염기서열분석을 실시하였다. 각 ReTheileria 분리주의 SSU rRNA유전자의 염기서열분석은 forma터와 reverse양쪽 다중복하여 실시하였으며 연속적인 primer를 이용하였다. 그 결과 한국의 소로부터 분리 한 Theue4n sp. (KLS. KCB)의 SSU rRNA유전자 염 기서 열 (Type A로 명명하였슴)은 일본 분리주와 동 일하였으며, 이 Type A를 GenBank로부터 유전자 검색을 해본 결과 Kenya의 Marula 분리주인 Reixerin buffeli의 SSU rRNA유전자 염기서열과 일치 하였다.

A portion (7.4 kb) of ribosomal DNA tandem repeat unit from a genome of the mushroom T. matsutake has been cloned. A 1.75 kb EcoRI fragment was cloned first using S. cerevisiae 255 rRNA gene as a probe, and this was then used for further cloning. A chromosomal walking experiment was carried out and the upstream region of the 1.75 kb fragment was cloned using SmaI/BamHI enzyme, the size was estimated to be 5.2 kb in length. Part of the downstream region of the 1.75 kb fragment was also cloned using XbaI/BamHI enzymes. Restriction enzyme maps of three cloned DNA fragments were constructed. Northern hybridization, using total RNA of T. matsutake, and the restriction fragments of three cloned DNAs as probes, revealed that all four ribosomal RNA genes (large subunit[LSU], small subunit [SSU], 5.85 and 5S rRNA genes) are present in the cloned region. The gene organization of the rDNA are regarded as an intergenic spacer [IGS]2 (partial) - SSU rRNA - internal transcribed spacer [ITS]1 - 5.8S rRNA - ITS2 - LSU rRNA - IGS1 -5S rRNA - IG52 (partial).

최근 뱀장어 양식장에서 사육 중이던 동남아산 뱀장어에 몸통 근육의 요철현상을 나타내면서 폐사를 일으키는 질병이 발생하였다. 병어의 몸통 근육 내 환부는 흰색 또는 황색으로 변해있었다. 병리조직학적인 변화는 근조직내에 수많은 포자와 크고 작은 시스트들이 변형된 근육근섬유 내에 관찰되었다. 병어의 근육 환부를 취하여 PCR을 실시하여 H. anguillarum이 가지는 특정 유전자인 Small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU-rRNA)를 증폭하였다. 좀 더 정확한 동정을 위해 PCR product를 Cloning 후 Sequencing하여 서열들을 분석한 결과 H. anguillarum의 Small subunit ribosomal RNA (Gene bank accession number: AB623036) 서열과 일치하게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. primer 18F과 1537R의 PCR product는 약 1366 bp 길이가 일치하였으며, V1과 1392R를 이용한 PCR product는 1200 bp가 일치하게 나타났다. 또한 H1과 H2의 PCR product의 경우는 800 bp 정도 일치하였으며 이의 서열은 나머지 2개의 product가 공통적으로 가지고 있는 서열이었다. 이를 토대로 본 연구에서는 동남아산 뱀장어에 감염된 포자충은 H. anguillarum임을 동정할 수 있었다.

Phylogenetic classification of the Aphyllophorales was conducted based on the analysis of nuclear small subunit ribosomal RNA (nuc SSU rDNA) sequence. Based on phylogenetic groupings and taxonomic characters, 16 families were recognized and discussed. Although many of the characters had more or less homoplasies, miroscopic characters such ad the mitic system and clamp, spore amyloidity and rot type appeared to be important in the classification of the Aphyllophorales. Phylogenetically significant families were newly defined to improve the classification of the order Aphyllophorales.

서양뒤영벌(Bombus terrestris)은 꿀벌의 봉군붕괴증후군(colony collapse disorder)에 대한 대체 화분매개곤충으로서 농업분야에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 최근 서양뒤영벌에서 바이러스, 세균, 응애 등의 여러 병원체와 기생체가 발견되었고, 이들은 서양뒤영벌의 수명과 생식력 등에 영향을 주는 것이 알려져 있다. 서양뒤영벌 야외개체군에서 Nosema spp.를 탐지하기 위해, 서양뒤영벌 성충으로부터 genomic DNA를 추출하여 Nosema spp. 유전자들에 대해 polymerase chain reaction (PCR)을 수행하였다. 이들 유전자 중에서 small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) 유전자만이 증폭되었고, 염기서열분석을 통해 N. ceranae로 확인된 것은 조사된 야외개체군에서 N. ceranae가 서양뒤영벌의 주된 감염체임을 보여준다. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR)을 이용하여 SSU rRNA 유전자를 탐지하기 위해, 먼저 PCR을 통해 SSU rRNA 유전자의 2개 영역에 대한 유전자 특이적 증폭을 확인하였다. qRT-PCR을 이용하여 각 개체에서 얻은 genomic DNA의 순차적인 농도희석를 통해 $0.85ng/{\mu}l$ 이하의 genomic DNA 농도에서도 SSU rRNA 유전자가 성공적으로 증폭되는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 실험 결과, qRT-PCR를 이용한 N. ceranae 특이 유전자 증폭은 서양뒤영벌의 병원체 감염 진단 뿐만 아니라 생태계 위해성 평가에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The genomic DNAs were extracted from roots of Glycine max and Sorghum bicolor, and compared with those from spores of two arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM) fungi, Glomus mosseae and Scutellospora heterogama. The partial small subunit(SSU) of ribosomal RNA genes were synthesized and amplified by polymerase chain reaction with the fungal specific primers, AM1 and NS31. By the recent molecular techniques, the presence of another AM fungal DNA were confirmed in the roots of two plants, and three sequences of rDNA fragments amplified were identified to be close to those of G. caledonium, G. fasiculatum and G. proliferum. The two AM fungi, both, were found to colonize at the cortical layers of plant roots collected in the fields, together.

Improved methods for detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in environmental and clinical samples are urgently needed to improve detection of cryptosporidiosis. We compared the sensitivity of 7 PCR primer sets for detection of Cryptosporidium parvum. Each target gene was amplified by PCR or nested PCR with serially diluted DNA extracted from purified C. parvum oocysts. The target genes included Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein (COWP), small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA), and random amplified polymorphic DNA. The detection limit of the PCR method ranged from $10^3$ to $10^4$ oocysts, and the nested PCR method was able to detect $10^0$ to $10^2$ oocysts. A second-round amplification of target genes showed that the nested primer set specific for the COWP gene proved to be the most sensitive one compared to the other primer sets tested in this study and would therefore be useful for the detection of C. parvum.

The morphology of the two marine urostyloid ciliates, Pseudokeronopsis carnea (Cohn, 1866) and Uroleptopsis citrina Kahl, 1932, in the family Pseudokeronopsidae, collected from the Yellow Sea, and the East Sea, Korea, respectively, were studied using live observation and protargol impregnation. Additionally, the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene was sequenced. These two species are firstly recorded in Korea. The main diagnostic key is as follows. Pseudokeronopsis carnea: body outline elongate-elliptical, brown-reddish or orange-red in colour in vivo; bicorona of 16-24 frontal cirri; one buccal and two frontoterminal cirri; 7-10 transverse cirri; 5-7 dorsal kineties; two types of cortical granules (one orange-red pigment, mainly grouped around cirri and dorsal bristles, arranged in typical rubra-pattern; the other, colourless and blood-cell-shaped, and densely distributed); contractile vacuole in the posterior half of the cell on the left side, usually in posterior 1/3-2/5. Uroleptopsis citrina: body outline elongate-elliptical, lemon-yellow in colour in vivo; two types of cortical granules (one yellow pigment; the other, blood-cell-shaped, densely distributed); bicorona of 12-18 frontal cirri; 2-3 frontoterminal cirri; two midventral rows comprising 26-35 cirri (consisting of anterior paired cirri, non-paired single cirri, and posterior paired cirri); three dorsal kineties. In addition, the SSU rRNA sequences of the two species were compared with public database of these species and consequently, showed high similarity.

The Japanese amberjack Seriolae quinqueradiata is one of the most consumed fish species among the Koreans. However, information regarding parasitic infection in Japanese amberjack is scarce. This study described the morphological and molecular characteristics of a species of philometrid nematode, Philometroides seriolae, which was recovered from Japanese amberjack. This fish was caught in the sea of Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, Republic of Korea (Korea). Six P. seriolae (Nematoda: Philometridae) were recovered from 2 Japanese amberjacks. These parasites were subgravid female which were 325-420 mm long and 2.95-3.27 mm wide. Furthermore, they had typical papillae distributed on their body surface with 14 papillae at the apical view. Sequence analysis of the small subunits of ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) showed high sequence identity (99.8%, 1,607/1,611-bp) with that of P. seriolae (GenBank accession no. FJ155811). This nematode species has been newly added to the Korean nematode fauna.
