A lichen-forming fungus was successfully isolated by discharged spore method from Korean lichen (Hetero-dermia sp.) and cultivated in pure culture. The isolate JR0012 inhibited mycelial growth of several plant-pathogenic fungi. Mycelial growth of the four Pythium spp. tested was completely inhibited. Potato dextrose broth was found to be the medium favorable for large-scale production of antibiotics from the isolate. Anti-fungal substances produced in axenic culture were partially purified. This is the first report in Korea of lichen-forming fungus successfully isolated and which exhibited strong antifungal activity against plant-pathogenic fungi, especially the four Pythium spp..

This study was carried out to obtain basic data for the Improvement of microbiological quality of raw milk. Total bacterial, psychrotrophic, thermoduric and spore counts of raw milk samples taken from milk tankers in the nothern part of kyeongnam were investigated for one year from March, 1989. The result obtained were summarized as follow 1. The number of total bacteria in raw milk averaged $4.0{\times}10^6$ CFU / ml and was not affected by seasons 2. The psychrotrophic counts of raw milk averaged $1.5{\times}10^6$ CFU / ml and it was higher in winter than in summer 3. The thermoduric counts of raw milk averaged $5.8{\times}10^4$ CFU / ml and was the lowest in winter 4. The spore counts of raw milk ranging from 3-1, 880/ ml averaged 306/ ml and was the lowest in summer

Bacterial specs isolated from common scab lesion on potato (Solanum tuberosum L. c.. Dejima) tuber was identified as Streptomyces turgidiscabies. This organism had flexuous spore chains and grey spore mass color, produced melanin pigment on ISP 7, but did not produce on ISP 6. S. turgidiscabies grew on agar media at pH 4.5, used L-arabinose, D-fructose, D-glucose, D-mannitol, raffinose, rhamnose, sucrose, D-xylose and meso-inositol as carbon sources, and was susceptible to 7% NaCl, thallium acetate (10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), crystal violet (0.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), phenol (0.1%, wt/vol), oleandomycin (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), and streptomycin (20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml).

Bacterial species isolated from common scab lesion on potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Dejima) was identified as Streptomyces acidiscabies. This organism had flexuous spore chains and white spore mass color, produced melanin pigment on tyrosine agar medium but did not produce on peptone agar medium. S. acidiscabies grew on agar medium at pH 4.0, used L-arabinose, D-fructose, D-glucose, D-mannitol, rhamnose, sucrose, D-xylose and meso-inositol except reffinose as carbon sources. It was also susceptible to thallium acetate (10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), phenol (0.1%, wt/vol), streptomycin (20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), and was resistant to 7% NaCl, crystal violet (0.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), penicillin (10 IU/ml) and oleandomycin (25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml).

The cell division of Bacillus thuringiensis are studed by a electron microscope. It was observed that when the cell division was occurred, the bacterial transverse septeum was centripetally formed, and the bacterial spore was divided into two daughter cells. The fore spore septum was initiated by invagination from either sides of the cell membranes, and was easily distinguished it from the transverse septum of the vegetative cell division. The large vesicular mesosome was. observed at one end of the cell membrane. The nucleoids were of variously irregular shapes and had no a nuclear membrane. The morphology of the bacteria was visualizd by a scanning electron microscope. The surface of the cell was generally rough and had a single polar flagellum, which was appeared to be $0.2{\mu}$ in width and $13{\mu}$ in length.

The strains of fungus which belong to Coniothyrium genus were isolated from leaf spoot of Yucca. The isolated strain can grow easily and forms characteristic colonies on Saido's soy agar. There are definite differences, according to other authors, (By Miyake et Hara 1911) Pycnidio-spore are usually formed ellipsoidal, dark brown, 4$\times$2. 5-4. $O\mu$ in size, whereas isolated strains are globose, yellowish brown, 2.8-4.2$\mu$ in diameter. The positive inoculation test can be attained by burned petridish method, preserving it in incubator at 28$^{\circ}C$, and the pycnidio-spore can be reisolated from the inoculated portion. (Photo.7) Up to the present day there is no report for leaf spot of Yucca caused by Coniothyrium sp.. Comparing the writer's isolate with those fungi described(leaf spot of alloe, rose canker and elm canker etc.) hitherto, there are no accordance in the symptom and especially in morphological charactgers and Pathogenicitys.

Four arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal(AMF) inocula collected from three arable sites in Korea were used to determine plant growth, mycorrhizal root colonization rate and spore production in three different host plant species; Sorghum bicolor, Allium fistulosum, Tagetes patula. Growth of plant treated with AMF differed from those without AMF. Different AMF inocula showed significantly different root colonization rates and spore production of AMF on the wild plants, A. fistulosum and T. patula, but did not on the cultivated plant, S. bicolor. Results suggested that indigenous mycorrhizal fungal community would be important factors in mycorrhizal symbiosis, and play important roles in the plant succession.

A new technique for single spore isolation was developed for predacious fungi forming constricting rings directly on the spores using Dactylaria brochopaga and Arthrobotrys dactyloides. Constricting rings were induced directly on the spores by transferring the spores in 25 ppm solution of DL-Valine in sterile distilled water. Freshly hatched and thoroughly washed second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne incognita were transferred into cavity blocks containing induced rings for trapping and killing of nematodes. The killed nematodes were surface sterilized with streptomycin and inoculated into petri dishes containing maize meal agar media with 100 ppm streptomycin. The petri dishes were incubated at $29{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for few days which yielded axenic culture of these fungi.

In this study, eight soil samples were collected from organic and conventional farms in a central area of South Korea. Spore communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and glomalin, a glycoprotein produced by AMF, were analyzed. Spores of Glomus clarum, G. etunicatum, G. mosseae, G. sp., Acaulospora longula, A. spinosa, Gigaspora margarita, and Paraglomus occultum were identified at the study sites, based on morphological and molecular characteristics. While Acaulospora longula was the most dominant species in soils at organic farms, Paraglomus occultum was the most dominant species in soils at conventional farms. Species diversity and species number in AMF communities found in soils from organic farms were significantly higher than in soils from conventional farms. Glomalin was also extracted from soil samples collected at organic and conventional farms and was analyzed using both Bradford and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The glomalin content in soils from organic farms was significantly higher than in soils from conventional farms. These results indicate that agricultural practices significantly affect AMF abundance and community structure.

This experiment was carried out to develop long-term preservable meat products by controlling a water activity which has a potential inhibitory effects on the growth of microorganism and germination of spore. For this purpose the accuracy of instrument for the measurement of water activity, electric hygrometer was used for this study as well as water activity of final products were investigated according to the various amounts of different kinds of additives. Spore of Bacillus spp, Clostridium sporogenes and Cl. botulinum were inoculated to the meat products with different aw and their growth states in $25^{\circ}C$ were observed to find out the lowest aw which inhibit their growth (aw 0.950).
