  • This study was conducted to identify whether there is a significant difference in the developmental stages of the evolution concept depending on the major and the country. For this study, college students (both biology major and non-biology major) in Korea and the United States answered evolution concept assessment developed by Ha (2007). The data were analyzed based on the method of developed by Ha (2016). As a result of this study, Cronbach alpha for internal consistency reliability and MNSQ indices for item response fitness of the ordered multiple choice method providing 0 to 4 point scores to creationism, teleology, intentionality, use/disuse, and natural selection respectively, satisfied the benchmark. The level of Korean college students' evolution concepts was located in use/disuse and the level of USA college students' evolution concepts was located in teleology. No interaction effect was found between the difference of conceptual progressions of evolution concept by major and country and evolution contexts (human, animal, and plant). There was a significant relationship between developmental stages of evolution concept and their religiosity. Based on the results of this study, we discuss developmental characteristics of evolutionary concepts.

  • In 2017, as a study to discover indigenous prokaryotic species in Korea, a total of 6 bacterial strains assigned to the genus Pseudomonas were isolated from soil. From the high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (${\geq}99.5%$) and phylogenetic analysis with closely related species, the isolated strains were identified as independent Pseudomonas species which were unrecorded in Korea. The six Pseudomonas species were Pseudomonas mandelii, P. canadensis, P. thivervalensis, P. jessenii, P. lurida, and P. brenneri. Gram reaction, culture conditions, colony and cell morphology, basic physiological and biochemical characteristics are described in the species description section.

Exploration on the Strategies of Organizing Curriculum for Improvement of Major Basic Competencies in the Agricultural High School Students to University by Departments Identical to Their Major (농업계 고등학생들의 동일계 대학 전공기초능력 향상을 위한 교육과정 편성 방안 탐색)

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze high schools' general and special subject required to successfully complete same stream curriculum which is identical to their major from agricultural high school, and to offer basic data on strategies of organizing agricultural high schools' curriculum for improving universities' major basic competencies. Using purposeful sampling technique, the professors of 116 universities professors in 8 agricultural university were analyzed through the survey research. The result was as follows. first, it appeared that for successful completion of major subjects of the same stream university, the basic science subject such as biology and chemistry has high relation with major basic ability, however math and physics are related highly in agricultural machine and agricultural civil engineering department, economics and math are in agricultural produce distribution department. Second, the basic ability such as linguistic competence and foreign language ability are essential to complete major subject. Third, if we look into relation of agriculture and life science industry stream specialized subject with major basic competencies, we can find considerable similarity between major field of university and subject name of specialized high school. Fourth, the main opinion is that basic concept and principle, laws of nature are should be main contents which is able to be practical, however experiment and practice is in food processing department, and academic theory is in biotechnology department.

  • Microplastics and nanoplastics (NMPs) are considered one of hazardous contaminants in marine ecosystems due to their toxic effects, such as reproduction disorder and oxidative stress, on marine organisms. Although water temperature is rising due to global climate change, little information on the toxicological interaction between NMPs and temperature is available. Therefore, in this study, we confirmed the toxicity of NMPs (polystyrene [PS] beads; 0.05- and 6-㎛) on brackish water fleas (Diaphanosoma celebensis) depending on increased temperature (30℃ and 35℃) at individual and molecular levels. In the chronic toxicity test, the group exposed to high temperatures showed an earlier first reproduction time compared to the normal temperatures group, but it was delayed by co-exposure to NMPs at 35℃. Notably, the total reproduction decreased significantly only after 0.05-㎛ PS beads exposure at 30℃. Interaction analysis showed that first reproduction time, modulation of the antioxidant-related gene (GSTS1), heat shock gene (Hsp70), and ecdysteroid pathway-related genes (EcR_A, EcR_B, and CYP314A1) were closely related to temperature and PS beads size. These results indicate that microplastics have size-dependent toxicity, and their toxicity can be enhanced at high temperatures. In addition, higher temperatures and PS beads exposure may have negative effects on reproduction. This study suggests that various factors such as water temperature should be considered when evaluating the toxicity of microplastics in marine ecosystems, and provides an understanding of the complex toxic interaction between water temperature and microplastics for marine zooplankton.

  • 일반적으로 산업폐수및 생활하수의 생물학적 처리에 관계하는 미생물의 종류는 약1,000-2,000종에 이르는 것으로 추정된다. 이와 같은 미생물의 범위는 매우 넓어서 세균, 균류는 물론이고, 조류, 원생동물, 후생동물까지 포함한다. 19세기 이전에 미생물을 이용한 폐하수 처리는 생활하수와 같이 쉽게 분해하는 물질로만 구성되어 있기 때문에 간단한 처리 공정으로도 충분히 운영되었으나, 산업혁명 이후 새로운 화학물질이 합성되어 폐하수로 배출되므로 처리효율을 달성하는데 더욱 어렵게 되므로 미생물을 전공한 전문인력의 역할이 가일층 높아지게 되었다. 특히 1970년대 이후에는 생물공학 기법을 이용하여 독성 유해물질을 무해화(Detoxification) 하고, 광물화(Mineralization)할 수 있는 미생물 균류를 연구 개발하여 폐수나 폐기물을 처리하는데 활용코자하는 노력이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 일부는 큰 결실을 맺은 것도 있지만 아직도 연구가 진행 중인 분야가 더 많은 편이다. 그러므로 본 고에서는 지금까지 연구 보고된 결과와 앞으로 미생물을 전공한 우리들이 나아갈 방향을 제시코자 한다.

  • 오늘날 생물다양성의 지속적인 보전과 경제적인 이용에 대한 세계적인 깊은 관심과 이용결과에도 불구하고 분류전공학자 및 연구기관의 절대적인 부족 또는 사회의 인식 미흡 등 여러 가지 이유로 인하여 우리 나라에서는 지금까지 총 30목, 504과, 11,853종의 곤충류만이 알려져 있다. 그리고 여러 국가 조사사업이나 학자들의 개인 전공에 따른 분류군 조사를 통하여 지금까지 국내 대학이나 연구기관에 수집, 보존.관리되고 있는 곤충류 표본의 총수는 완모식 표본 351종을 포함하여 단지 약 1,500,000점에 불과하다. 한편 많은 곤충자원이 국외로 유출되어 지금까지 알려진 숫자만 하여도 국내에서 보존하고 있는 양과 맞먹는다.
