The purpose of this study was to understand the geographical and environmental distribution of wild animals in Baekdudaegan region using field survey and GIS data. Crucial factors were selected and analyzed to understand the distributional characteristics of wild animals (7 species in 6 families) and rare endemic plants (14 species in 11 families). These crucial factors include stand factors (forest type, DBH class, and crown density), soil factors (bed rock, soil texture, and organic matter), geographical factors (elevation, slope, aspect) and climatic factors (temperature, rain fall, humidity). Finally, 10 factors were selected by statistical analysis and categorized for analyzing geographical and environmental features. Four families such as Muridae, Sciuridae, Suidae and Talpidea in wild animal showed the similar habitat characteristics with the 10 factors.

We isolated various yeasts from wild flowers in main islands, Jejudo, Ulleungdo and Yokjido of Korea and their yeasts were identified by comparison of their PCR-amplified D1/D2 regions of 26S rDNA using the BLAST database. Thirty two yeast strains of fourteen species were isolated from wild flowers of Jejudo. Forty eight yeast strains of twenty two species were isolated and identified from wild flowers of Ulleungdo, Korea. Sixty yeast strains belonged to twenty five species were isolated identified from wild flowers of Yokjido in Tongyeong, Korea. Only Metschnikowia reukaufii was overlapped from the three different islands areas. Two species overlapped from Jejudo and Ulleungdo: Pichia guilliermondii, Metschnikowia reukaufii. Seven species were overlapped from Ulleungdo and Yokjido: Cryptococcus albidus, Cryptococcus laurentii, Metschnikowia reukafii, Pichia scolyti, Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula graminis and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. Four species were overlapped from Jejudo and Yokjido: Candida sp. Cryptococcus aureus, Metschnikowia reukafii and Pseudozyma sp.

The objective of this study was to assess genetic diversity among 6 different wild ginseng populations from New York, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia, and to compare these wild populations to one cultivated population. RAPD markers were used to estimate the genetic difference among samples from the 7 populations. The 64 random primers were screened, and 15 primers were selected which exhibited the 124 highly reproducible polymorphic markers. The ratio of discordant bands to total bands scored was used to estimate the genetic distance within and among populations. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) of the relation matrix showed distinctive separation between wild and cultivated populations. The MDS result was confirmed using pooled chi-square tests for fragment homogeneity. This study suggests that RAPD markers can be used as population-specific markers for American ginseng.

This research was conducted to investigate the actual condition of injured wild animals in Gangwon-do between January and December in 2002. The subject of this study was the wounded wild animals on the receipt of the governmental and the civil organizations for medical treatment. Especially, the natural monuments among the wounded were included in this research. 363 cases in birds and 274 cases in mammals were saved from injuries. In the case of the natural monuments, 140 and 7 cases got help in birds and mammals, respectively. Wild animals were injured particularly in summer and the ultimate causes were trauma and dehydration. More than 50% out of the animals under medical treatment from the organizations were dead. It was clear that most causes of the animal injuries were artificial owing to the breakdown of the ecosystem. Consequently, the consistent observation on the control system of the wild animals will be needed. And it will be also necessary to increase research works and the nationwide public city activities on the wild animals.

The protein po;vmorphisms and allele frequencies of wild house rat (Rattus norvegicus) population in Korea were studied. The studied proteins and enzymes were transferrin (Tf), albumin (Alb), fumarate hvdratase (FH), phospho!loucomutase (PGM), lactate dehvdrogenase A (LDHA) and lactate dehvdrogenase B (LDHB). There were two transferrin alleles, TP and Tf in Korean wild house rat popu1ation. The Tf2 allele was found for the first time by a starch gel, and confirmed by a polvacrvlamide gel isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting. The allele frequencies of TP and TF were 0.985 and 0.015, respectively. Two common alleles fumarate hydratase, FHa and FHb were found, and frequencies of FHa and FPP were calculated to be 0.714 and 0.286, respectively. The kequenw of FH in Korean wild house rat was higher than that of Finnish and Czechoslovakian population. Alb, PGM, LDHA and LDHB are only one phenotype each and all. Therefore, these proteins seem to be monomorphic in Korean wild house rat population.

Mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms are convenient markers for identifying cytoplasmic variation among plants. We have collected 212 wild soybeans (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc) from all over Korea, and classified mitochondrial genome types based on hybridization patterns in DNA gel-blot analyses using two mitochondrial DNA clones, cox2 and atp6, as probes. Korean wild soybean was classified with eight-mtDNA types, and some of the mtDNAs showed geographical clines among the regions. The diversity index of the mtDNA was much higher in the western and southern regions than in the eastern and northern regions of Korea, respectively. Dissemination and distributive characteristics of wild soybeans in Korea were discussed.

Objectives: To report the effect of cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture on the lung cancer patient. Methods: Treatment of cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture was conducted on the patient during 7 months. Pharmacopuncture therapy was done twice a week with a dosage of 2ml per each treatment. Computed Topography(CT) was performed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy. Results: After the treatment of 7 months, chest CT revealed the mass size was decreased. Conclusions: This case provides us a possibility that cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture offers potential benefits for lung cancer patient.

Wild-type and four mutant R100 merR genes were cloned and the proteins overproduced under tac promoter control of pKK223-3. His118Ala, Cys117Ser, Cys126Ser, and wild-type MerR were successfully overproduced although amino-terminal 14 amino acids deletion mutant MerR was not successful. The amount of overproduced wild-type MerR protein as well as other mutant MerR was between 15%-20% of the total protein. The protein was able to be purified up to 95% homogeneity. Specific DNA-protein blotting experiments showed that the 95 bp operator containing DNA fragment could bind to Cys126Ser, His118Ala, and wild- type MerR, but not to Cys117Ser. These results were consistent with the previously reported complementation experiment results that His118Ala, Cys126Ser, and wild-type MerR could repress the mer operon but Cys117Ser could not.

The natural crosslinking agent genipin has been applied widely in biomedicines and foods nowadays. Because of the special hemiacetal ring structure in its molecule, it can only be prepared by hydrolysis of geniposide according to biocatalysis. In this research, strategies including aqueous-organic biphasic catalysis and substrate fed-batch mode were adopted to improve the biocatalysis process of genipin. A 10 L ethyl acetate-aqueous biphasic system with geniposide fed-batch led to a satisfying genipin yield. With Fusarium solani ACCC 36223, 15.7 g/l genipin in the ethyl acetate phase was obtained, corresponding to space-time yields of 0.654 g l^-1 h^-1.

A series of pentacyclic triterpenoids similar to glycyrrhetinic acid were designed and synthesized via the combination of chemical modification and microbial catalysis. All products were screened for the glycogen phosphorylases inhibitory activities in vitro. Within this series of derivatives, compound 5 displayed good inhibitory activities with $IC_{50}$ value of $27.7{\mu}M$, which is better than that of the other derivatives and glycyrrhetinic acid. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis of these inhibitors was also discussed.
