  • With universal primer ITS1-F, the specific DHJ2 primer was developed to detect the Ectomycorrhizal(ECM) root tips in soil and to identify the species of ECM fungi, as based on DNA sequences of rDNA stored in GeneBank of NCBI. This primer was designed with the common sites of rDNA of Amanita and Boletus, and was also designed with several DNA programs provided by NCBI. The DNA fragments synthesized by PCR were calculated to be 1,000 to 1,200 bps of DNA located to 18s to 28s rDNA to contain two variable sites of ITS, indicating much diversities for specific species or ecotypes of ECM fungi. The primer DHJ2 reacted with the genomic DNA's extracted from the tissues of basidiocarp at the rate of 73 of 80 fungi collected produced single bands with a 1,100 bps length. The DNA fragment synthesized with the genomic DNA that extracted from eight ECM tips of Pinus densiflora was confirmed and analysized to the rDNAs of ECM in full sequences, and informed to be a ECM fungal species in the forest.

  • Multiplex PCR assays were developed for the simultaneous detection of ten important Korean quarantine phytoplasmas. The species-specific primers were designed based on ribosomal protein, putative preprotein translocase Y, immunodominant protein, elongation factor TU, chaperonin protein and the 16S rRNA genes of 'Candidatus (Ca.) Phytoplasma' species. Three main primer sets were prepared from ten designed primer pairs to limit nonspecific amplification as much as possible. The multiplex PCR assay using the three primer sets successfully amplified the correct conserved genes for each 'Ca. Phytoplasma' species. In addition, ten important 'Ca. Phytoplasma' species could be easily determined by recognizing band patterns specific for each phytoplasma species from three primer sets. Moreover, a high sensitivity of multiplex PCR for each primer set was observed for samples containing a low DNA concentration (10 ng/${\mu}l$). This study provides the useful multiplex PCR assay as a convenient method to detect the presence of ten important quarantine phytoplasmas in Korea.

  • Fusarium verticillioides(완전세대: Gibberella moniliformis)는 Gibberellea fujikuroi 종 복합체에 속하는 식물병원균으로서 옥수수의 줄기와 이삭에 썩음병을 일으킬 뿐 아니라 인축에 중독증을 일으키는 fumonisin 곰팡이 독소를 생산한다. 본 연구의 목적은 옥수수에 주로 발생하는 fumonisin 생성가능 G. fujikuori 종 복합체 소속 Fusarium 곰팡이 중 F. verticillioides와 그 외 F. proliferatum, F. fujikuori 등을 서로 구별할 수 있는 종 특이적 PCR primer 조합을 개발하는 것이다. RNA polymerase II beta subunit 유전자(RPB2)의 염기서열로부터 제작된 특이 primer 조합(RVERT1와 RVERT2)은 우리나라 옥수수에서 분리한 잠재적인 fumonisin 생성 G. fujikuori 종 복합체 균주 중 오직 F. verticillioides로부터 208 bp 크기의 단일 DNA 절편을 증폭하였다. 한편 F. verticillioides를 포함한 모든 조사균주는 fumonisin 생합성에 필수적인 FUM1 유전자를 포함하고 있었다. 개발된 특이 primer 조합의 검출한계는 분석 곰팡이 DNA 0.125 pg/${\mu}l$ 수준이었다. 한편, 같은 primer 조합으로 Fusarium spp.에 오염된 옥수수 시료의 게놈 DNA로부터 F. verticillioides 특이 DNA 절편이 증폭되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합할 때, 본 연구에서 개발된 primer 조합은 여러 곡물 시료에 오염되어 있는 F. verticillioides 균주의 검출과 종 동정에 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

  • The fungus Venturia nashicola is the causal agent of scab on Asian pears. For the rapid and reliable identification as well as sensitive detection of V. nashicola, a PCR-based technique was developed. DNA fingerprints of three closely related species, V. nashicola, V. pirina, and V. inaequalis, were obtained by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Two RAPD markers specific to V. nashicola were identified by PCR, after which two pairs of sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) primers were designed from the nucleotide sequences of the markers. The SCAR primer pairs, designated as D12F/D12R and E11F/E11R, amplified 535-bp and 525-bp DNA fragments, respectively, only from genomic DNA of V. nashicola. The specificity of the primer sets was tested on strains representing three species of Venturia and 20 fungal plant pathogens. The nested PCR primer pair specific to V. nashicola was developed based on the sequence of the species-specific 525-bp DNA fragment amplified by primer set E11F/E11R. The internal primer pair Na11F/Na11R amplified a 235-bp fragment from V. nashicola, but not from any other fungal species tested. The nested PCR assay was sensitive enough to detect the specific fragment in 50 fg of V. nashicola DNA.

  • P. endodontalis which was known to be associated with the infected root canals and periapical lesions is very difficult to detect by culture methods or traditional methods. Detection of bacteria using polymerase chain reaction(PCR) for 16S ribosomal DNA(rDNA) is fast, simple, and accurate with relatively small amount of target cells. 16S rDNA consist of conserved regions those are same to all species, and variable regions which represent species specificity. The 16S rDNA sequences of P. endodontalis and P. gingivalis were aligned and two highly variable regions were selected as a pair of species specific oligonucleotide primers for P. endodontalis. And then the pair of primers for PCR amplification was synthesized to identify P. endodontalis. The sequences of the species specific primers for the 16S rDNA of P. endodontalis were as follows ; sense primer[endo1]: 5'-CTATATTCTTCTTTCTCCGCATGGAGGAGG-3' antisense primer[endo2]: 5'-GCATACCTTCGGTCTCCTCTAGCATAT-3' In this study, for the identification of P. endodontalis without culture from the mixed clinical samples, PCR was done with species specific primers for the 16S rDNA sequences of P. endodontalis. The results were as follows : 1. The species specificity of the primers for the 16S rDNA of P. endodntalis was determined by the PCR methods. About 490bp amplicon which was specific only for P. endodntalis was produced with P. endodontalis. No amplicon was produced by PCR with other strains similar to P. endodontalis. 2. The synthesized species specific primers reacted with conventionally identified P. endodontalis which we have in conservative dentistry laboratory. 3. The identification of P. endodontalis using PCR technique with samples collected from infected root canals or periapical lesions was more sensitive than that of culture methods. 4. Seven samples revealed including P. endodontalis by PCR technique. Five of them were related with pains, two of them with sinus tract, three of them with foul odor, and three of them with purulent drainage. P. endodontalis was shown to have great relation with pains.

  • 본 연구에서는 멸종위기종이 서식하는 4개 하천(금강, 지천, 황지천, 섬진강)에서 환경유전자(environmental DNA, eDNA)와 보편적 어구를 이용한 조사 방법을 적용하여 지점별 종 다양성을 확인하고, 이를 통해 eDNA의 활용을 고찰하였다. eDNA 조사를 통해서 확인된 종 수는 지점 평균(±표준편차) 19종(±4.4)이며, 이는 어구를 이용한 정량 조사의 10종(±4.8)과 비교하여 높게 나타났다. 대부분의 지점에서 eDNA 조사가 어구를 이용한 조사보다 효율이 높게 나타났다. 반면 eDNA 조사 결과 고유종 및 근연종에 대해서 동정의 오류가 확인되어, universal primer (MiFish primer set)에 대한 국내 적용의 한계를 확인하였다. 또한 멸종위기종의 서식 여부도 일부 종에 대해서 eDNA 조사 결과가 현장 조사 및 문헌과의 차이를 보였다. 현재 개발된 universal primer는 국내에서 서식하는 모든 담수종의 서식을 확인하는 데 있어서 결과의 신뢰성을 담보할 수 없기 때문에 universal primer의 보완 및 개발이 필요하며, 멸종위기종과 같은 특정종의 서식 확인을 위해서는 종특이적 마커 개발을 통한 적용이 고려되어야 한다. 마지막으로 eDNA의 현장 조사 방법에 대한 매뉴얼이 개발될 경우, 수생태계 조사에 대한 활용성이 증대될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Genus Phellinus taxonomically belongs to Aphyllophorales and some species of this genus have been used as a medicinal ingredients and Indian folk medicines. Especially, P. linteus and morphological-related species are well-known medicinal fungi that have various biological activities such as humoral and cell-mediated, anti-mutagenic, and anti-cancer activities. However, little is known about the rapid detection for complex Phellinus species. Therefore, this study was carried out to develop specific primers for the rapid detection of P. linteus and other related species. Designing the species-specific primers was done based on internal transcribed spacer sequence data. Each primer set detected specifically P. linteus (PL2/PL5R) and P. baumii (PB1/PB4R). These primer sets could be useful for the rapid detection of specific-species among unidentified Phellinus species. Moreover, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the ITS region with HaeIII was also useful for clarifying the relationship between each 5 Phellinus species.

  • 참조기는 민어과에 속하는 우리나라의 중요한 산업 어종 중 하나이다. 최근 과도한 남획과 해양 환경의 변화로 참조기의 어획량이 줄어들자 일부 유통과정에서 유사어종인 부세, 흑조기 및 긴가이석태를 참조기로 둔갑시키는 사례가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 종 특이 primer를 사용하여 참조기, 부세, 흑조기 및 긴가이석태를 신속하게 분석할 수 있는 방법을 마련하였다. 약 1,400 bp의 미토콘드리아 COI 유전자 분석을 통하여 종간 특이성을 나타내는 단일염기다형성 유전자를 탐색하였으며, PCR 증폭산물의 크기를 고려하여 4개의 종특이적 정방향 primer를 제작하였다. 단일 PCR을 이용한 종간 교차반응을 통하여 최적의 PCR 조건을 확립하였으며, 이후 제작된 4개의 정방향 primer를 혼합하여 4종에 대한 다중 PCR 반응을 진행하였다. 증폭된 산물은 전기영동을 통해 크기에 따라 1,540 bp, 1,013 bp, 470 bp 그리고 182 bp로 분리되었으며, 각각 참조기, 흑조기, 부세, 긴가이석태로 명확하게 판별이 가능하였다. PCR 민감도 측정에서도 모든 종에서 $0.1ng/{\mu}l$의 농도까지 검출 가능함을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발된 참조기와 유사어종에 대한 종특이 다중 PCR 분석법은 정확도와 민감도가 우수하여, 불법 유통가능성이 있는 제품에 대한 신속하고 정확한 판별로 식품안전관리에 효과적으로 활용될 것이라 사료된다.

  • This study was undertaken to develop PCR primers for the identification and detection of Streptococcus anginosus using species-specific forward and reverse primers. These primers targeted the variable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA coding gene(rDNA). The primer specificity was tested against 12 S. anginosus strains and 6 different species(10 strains) of oral bacteria. The primer sensitivity was determined by testing serial dilutions of the purified genomic DNA of S. anginosus ATCC $33397^T$. The data showed that species-specific amplicons were obtained from all the S. anginosus strains tested, but not in the six other species. The PCR could detect as little as 0.4pg of the chromosomal DNA from S. anginosus. This suggests that the PCR primers are highly sensitive and applicable to the detection and identification of S. anginosus.

  • Pectobacterium odoriferum is the primary causative agent in Kimchi cabbage soft-rot diseases. The pathogenic bacteria Pectobacterium genera are responsible for significant yield losses in crops. However, P. odoriferum shares a vast range of hosts with P. carotovorum, P. versatile, and P. brasiliense, and has similar biochemical, phenotypic, and genetic characteristics to these species. Therefore, it is essential to develop a P. odoriferumspecific diagnostic method for soft-rot disease because of the complicated diagnostic process and management as described above. Therefore, in this study, to select P. odoriferum-specific genes, species-specific genes were selected using the data of the P. odoriferum JK2.1 whole genome and similar bacterial species registered with NCBI. Thereafter, the specificity of the selected gene was tested through blast analysis. We identified novel species-specific genes to detect and quantify targeted P. odoriferum and designed specific primer sets targeting HAD family hydrolases. It was confirmed that the selected primer set formed a specific amplicon of 360 bp only in the DNA of P. odoriferum using 29 Pectobacterium species and related species. Furthermore, the population density of P. odoriferum can be estimated without genomic DNA extraction through SYBR Green-based real-time quantitative PCR using a primer set in plants. As a result, the newly developed diagnostic method enables rapid and accurate diagnosis and continuous monitoring of soft-rot disease in Kimchi cabbage without additional procedures from the plant tissue.
