It is our common understanding that biological materials like microorganisms, tissue and cell cultures, seeds, plants and animals are inevitable resources for the development of science and technology. Culture collections which are reservior of biological materials now occupy a central position in life sciences and biotechnology. The World Data Center of Microorganisms (WDC) is a infrastructure of culture collections in the world realizing quick and smooth exchanges of information and microorganisms to support research and development in those fields. The WDC was relocated from University of Queensland in Australia to out institute RIKEN in 1986. This article introduces a function for WDC in RIKEN (RIKAGAKU-KENKYUUSHO, the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research)

The comparative study on the predominant cultivable periodontopathic bacteria were done 2 weeks after the application of the e-PTFE membrane and collagen membrane in the controlled tissue regeneration procedures. The purpose of the present study also included the antibiotic susceptibility test (ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, clindamycin) of these cultured organisms. 0.1% chlorhexidine mouthwash (10ml twice/day for 6 weeks) and systemic doxycycline (200mg/day for 2 weeks) were administered for supragingival and subgingival plaque control respectively. Four clinical isolates of A.a. from 2 patients were found to be resistant to tetracycline which were susceptible to clindamycin and ciprofloxacin. One isolate of W.r. and two unidcntified microorganisms were resistant only to clindamycin and one isolate of NID BPB and E.c. and two isolates of unidentified microorganisms were resistant only to ciprofloxacin. Overall susceptibility of tested microorganisms to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and clindamycin were 85%, 77% and 89% respectively. The results indicated no significant differences in the percentage of cultivable periodontopathic bacteria between the two membranes, and also the microorganisms resistant to tetracycline after systemic administration of doxycycline turned out to be susceptible to either ciprofloxacin or clindamycin.

The meaning of obturating root canal is to substitute an inert filling materials in the prepared canal space in order to eliminate all avenues of leakage from the oral cavity or periradicular tissue into root canal system. Inadequate obturation induce the infiltration of periapical tissue fluids, which provide materials for growth of microorganisms or localization of bacteria, into dead space of loosely filled canal. Most parts of endodontic failure is attributed to inadequate obturation of root canal system.(omitted)

A subcutaneous mass foud in a nine-year-old male Iguana (Iguana iguana) was pathologically and microbiologically examined. Grossly, this mass, measuring $2 cm{\times}1.5 cm{\times}1 cm$ in size, contained white to yellow caseous-crumbly material which was surrounded by the thin connective tissue. Histopathologically, a mass consisted of central caseous necrotic debri in which heterophils and macrophages were scattered, and peripheral fibrous connective tissue in which scattered heterophils, macrophages and lymphoid cell aggregates were present. This mass composed of central necrotic core and peripheal connective tissue did not have any detectable microorganisms including acid-fast bacteria and fungi. Histopathologically, severe atrophy of seminiferous tubules in both testicles was observed. In addition, peripheri of ductus deferens was thickened by fibrous connective tissue. This is the first report of subcutaneous caseous necrotic mass of an Iguana in Korea. In addition, the bilateral severe atrophy of seminiferous tubules may be due to fibrosis of ductus deferens.

일반적으로 목조문화재의 변색은 장식용 목재에서 자주 발견되는 현상으로 여겨지는 경우가 많아, 이번 연구에서는 현충사 옛집을 대상으로 기둥 하부와 하방 등 지면과 인접한 목부재에서 나타나는 백색 변색 현상에 대해 목재단면 성능 조사, 미생물 조사, 현미경 관찰(SEM, 조직 분석 등)을 통해 강도 및 미생물에 의한 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 결과, (1) 목부재 일부 구간에서 저항도가 낮게 측정되는 지점이 있었으나, 강도에 크게 영향을 미칠 정도는 아니었으며, (2) 변색 부위의 함수율이 정상 부위보다 상대적으로 높게 측정되었으나, 변색부와 정상부에서 채취한 미생물 조사 결과에서는 정상부의 미생물 종류 및 미생물계수(CFU)가 오히려 높게 나타났다. (3) SEM을 이용한 표면관찰 결과, 500배의 배율에서 크고 작은 알갱이들이 관찰되었으며, 알갱이 부분은 탄소(C), 산소(O), 규소(Si), 칼슘(Ca) 등이 주성분으로 구성되어 있고 일부에서 Na, Cl 등의 성분이 미량 검출되었다. (4) 변색부 시료에 대한 조직분석 결과, 변색은 바깥쪽 표면부에 한정하여 나타난 현상임을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 목조건축물의 부재에서 관찰되는 변색 현상은 강도와 직접적인 상관관계가 없었으며, 미생물이나 염 등이 변색에 미치는 영향도 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, the importance of management and cultivation of grasses has been increased in Korea. Among these cultural practices, the appropriate control of diseases is considered more important than other cultivation techniques such as fertilization and irrigation. The damages of brown patch and large patch caused by Rhizoctonia spp. and Pythium blight caused by Pythium spp. are serious in the major cultivation area of turfgrass in Korea. Since these diseases are difficult to control by agrochemicals, the damages are very serious if these are occured. The periodic spray of agrochemicals, to protect and control these diseases could make some problems of toxicity and environmental pollution as well as rising of non-target diseases. Therefore, the biological methods to control diseases have been required to decrease problems resulted from overuse of agrochemicals, to conserve natural ecosystem, and to control effectively diseases of grasses in the long period. The number of studies about biological control using antagonistic microorganisms have been increased for last half century. However, the application of biological control method has been very limited. In this study, thirteen isolates of R. cerealis, 8 isolates of R. solani and 3 isolates of Phthyn spp. have been isolated from diseased turfgrass in golf course and grass-culture area that have patch and wilting symptoms of zoysia grass and creeping bentgrass. Isolation frequency of R. cerealis and R. solani was high in especially zoysiagrass, while Pythym spp. was isolated from bent grass at low frequency but showed high pathogenicity. Totally, 205 isolates of soil microorganisms were isolated in this study as primary antagonistic microorganism by Herr's triple agar layer plate and dual culture method using rhizosphere of grasses, soil of crop field as the source of antagonistic microorganisms. Among the 205 isolates, 23 isolates were actinomycetes and 182 isolates were bacteria. All of the actinomycetes were isolated by Herr's method. Antagonistic effect of primary isolated microorganisms was tested for in vitro mycelial growth inhibition against pathogenic fungi isolated from grasses and for inhibition of disease occurrence in 24 well tissue culture plate and pot experiment. Then, four isolated of bacteria which are BG23, BG74, BG136 and BG171 were selected as antagonistic microorganisms against soil-born pathogenic fungi of bentgrass.

During the last decades, research and therapeutic methods in cancer treatment have been evolving. As the results, nowadays, cancer patients are receiving several types of treatments, ranging from chemotherapy and radiation therapy to surgery and immunotherapy. In fact, most cancer patients take a combination of current anti-cancer therapies to improve the efficacy of treatment. However, current strategies still cause some side effects to patients, such as pain and depression. Therefore, there is the need to discover better ways to eradicate cancer whilst minimizing side effects. Recently, immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint blockade, is rising as an effective anti-cancer treatment. Unlike chemotherapy or radiation therapy, immunotherapy has few side effects and a higher tumor cell removal efficacy depend on cellular immunological mechanisms. Moreover, recent studies suggest that tissue immune responses are regulated by their microbiome composition. Each tissue has their specific microenvironment, which makes their microbiome composition different, particularly in the context of different types of cancer, such as breast, colorectal, kidney, lung, and skin. Herein, we review the current understanding of the relationship of immune responses and tissue microbiome in cancer in both animal and human studies. Moreover, we discuss the cancer-microbiome-immune axis in the context of cancer development and treatment. Finally, we speculate on strategies to control tissue microbiome alterations that may synergistically affect the immune system and impact cancer treatment outcomes.

Halitosis is primarily caused by bacterial decay. The bacteria, which originate from biofilms such as dental plaque, show abnormal proliferation due to dental caries, periodontal diseases, soft tissue infections, and tongue diseases. Most studies on halitosis have exclusively focused on gram-negative bacteria in the oral cavity rather than on general oral microorganisms including oral fungi. This study analyzed oral fungal hyphae, as well as distribution and motility of oral microorganisms, and provided basic data on the control of halitosis. Our results revealed that the greater is the number of cocci bacteria, the higher is the halitosis value, or bad breath value (BBV), suggesting that cocci have a strongly positive correlation with halitosis (r=0.379, p=0.030). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the morphology or distribution of motile bacteria and motility score, with respect to BBV. Lastly, we investigated the relationship between halitosis and oral fungal hyphae. We found that a higher BBV corresponded with a greater number of fungal hyphae and that patients with fungal hyphae scored a higher BBV. However, this result was not statistically significant. In conclusion, this study provided the preliminary data on oral microorganisms and halitosis, but further studies are needed to analyze the relationship between oral microorganisms and halitosis.
