Germination of the single-basidiospore of Agaricus bisporus, mycelial characteristics of the single spore culture and its fruit body formation were studied. Germination of the single basidiospore was the best on water agar. Of 6372 spores isolated, 1622 spore were germinated and the germination rate was 26 percent. Cultures from single basidiospores showed two distinct mycelial types on the compost extract sucrose agar: one was the strandy type and the other was the fluffy. The strandy type culture produced more sporophores than the fluffy. Of 778 strandy isolates screened, nine cultures yielded 5 percent higher than the origine. No. 1567 and 1708 were selected for the commercial cultivation.

Ten species of the leguminous plants were collected from the soils around Kongiu National University $(127^{\circ}\;08'\;41"\;E,\;36^{\circ}\;28'\;04"\;N)$. All of them were infected with VA-mycorrhizae in the root tissues, and twelve azygospores or chlamydospores of VA-mycorrhizal fungi were found and identified (twelve species of four genera); Acaulospora denticulata, A. scrobiculata, Gigaspora margarita, Glomus australe, Gl. constrictum, Gl. convolutum, Gl. diaphanum, Gl. flavisporum, Gl. glomerulatum, Gl. manihotis, Gl. tortuosum, Scleroystis microcarpus. Seven among them were not reported in Korea yet (seven species of three genera); A. denticulata, Gl. australe, Gl. constrictum, Gl. convolutum, Gl. diaphanum, Gl. flavisporum, S. microcarpus.

Some blue-green algal species such as those in the genus Anabaena causing severe algal blooms can produce akinetes, resting spores, in aquatic ecosystems. Germinated akinetes staying in the sediment as "seed banks" grow into vegetative cells under favorable conditions of light intensity, nutrient, and temperature. Therefore, akinete plays an important role in forming the nuisance bloom. However, little information is available in the ecological study of akinetes compared to that of vegetative cells in Korea. This review reports ecological and physiological characteristics of akinetes, especially of the blue-green algal genus Anabaena. We also suggest the feasible area of akinetes in the freshwater ecosystems. We expect that the suggested studies associated with akinetes will contribute to further understanding the life cycle and ecology of Anabaena and other algae.

The enormous production of spores by the fruitbodies in the cultivation of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) is develop an allergy with symptoms similar to an "extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EEA)". the sporeless strain would noy only benefit health of mushroom workers but also reduce the risk of viral infections on the mushroom farms. For the development of a sporeless strain of P. ostreatus we used strain ASI 2069. This non-commercial strain is completely nonsporulating. We have recovered both nuclear types of strain ASI 2069 as monokaryons (hereafter referred to as neohaplonts) by protoplasting the mycelium. Crosses between neohaplonts and SSI's(single spore isolates) obtained from a sporulating commercial strain ASI 2180 yielded fruitbodies that isolated 128 strains. 13 excellent strains are selected from 30 bred strains by quality of fruitbodies and spore number. Among 13 excellent strains, G192 strain is chose finally to high yield and sporelessness.

In February 2019, a damping-off disease occurred at the seedling stage of paprika in a commercial nursery located in Cheorwon, Korea. A species of Fusarium was isolated from the diseased plant and it was identified as Fusarium oxysporum based on morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence data of translation elongation factor $1-{\alpha}$ and the largest subunit of RNA polymerase. The isolate obtained was revealed to be pathogenic to the host plant through pathogenicity tests, and the reisolation of the pathogen confirmed Koch's postulates. This is the first report of damping-off caused by Fusarium oxysporum on paprika in Korea.

The Rhododendron powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe izuensis has been recorded throughout Asia, including China, Japan, Korea, and Russia. In Korea, E. izuensis has been identified based on morphological characteristics of the anamorph found on introduced Rhododendron spp. We here describe the first identification of E. izuensis collected from Rhododendron yedoense f. poukhanense in Korea. Morphological characteristics of the teleomorph as well as internal transcribed spacer sequences of the species are provided. Moreover, we describe the characteristics of the primary conidia and conidial surface pattern of E. izuensis for the first time.

The genus Hypocrea, a member of the Hypocreales, has yellow to pale yellow-ochre, perithecial stromata and angular to cuboid ascospores. The isolate of Hypocrea microrufa collected on decayed tropical wood at Malaysia is compared with H. rufa and H. microsplendens. This isolation of H. microrufa will be the first record from tropical region and the first description with scanning electron microscopy. The ornamentation of ascospores used one of main taxonomic keys for identification.

국내 감자 연작 재배지에서 수집하여 분리동정한 더뎅이병원균인 Streptomyces scabies의 배양적, 형태적, 생리적 특성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 이병감자에서 분리된 균들은 병원성 균주와 비병원성 균주들로 구분되었고, 이들 간에는 뚜렷한 차이를 보였는데, 전형적인 병징을 나타내는 병원성균주는 비병원성균주와는 달리, 나선형의 포자사슬, 회색 포자, 멜라닌 색소를 생성하고 D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-fructose, D0mannitol, raffinose, rhamnose, sucrose, i-inositol, D-xylose 등의 탄소원을 이용하였으며, 또한 7% NaCl 및 streptomycin sulfate, crystal violet, olean domycin(10$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)등의 항생물질에 감수성을 나타내었다.

빛에 의한 생물체의 분화는 작용파장별로 분류 할 때 고등식물에서 흔히 나타나는 붉은 빛에 의한 분화와 곰팡이류에서 볼 수 있는 푸른빛에 의한 것 두 종류가 있다. 곰팡이는 Chlorophyll이나 Phytochrome이 없어 붉은ㅅ개 파장을 흡수하는 phytochrome에 의한 분화는 없으나 푸른색은 곰팡이의 생활사에 중요한 요인이 된다. 예를 들면 Phycomyces와 Trichoderma의 photophorogenesis, Cyathus와 Coprinus의 fruiting body형성, Poycomyces와 Neurospora의 photocarotenogenesis, Phycomyces와 Pilobolus의 phototropism등 곰팡이의 metabolism과 development가 푸른 빛에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 한편 곰팡이의 포자및 포자생성기관은 녹색, 갈색, 흑색 등 phenoloxidase의 산물인 melanin 색소를 가지는 경우가 많으며 그 예로는 Podospora, Schizophyllum, Aspergillus 등과 같이 reproduction 할 때 phenoloxidase가 직접적 혹은 간접적으로 연관되어 있다. 버섯형성균류의 하나인 Coprinus congregatus는 버섯형성과정에서 빛을 필요로 하며 이때 phenoloxidase가 어떠한 역할을 하는지 실험하였다.

Coprinus cinereus resistant strain against validamycin was successfully isolated. Germination rate of oidiospores, branching pattern, and localization of actin protein of the resistant strain were compared with normal strain. The resistant strain showed better germiantion rate of oidia (about 20 fold), more frequent branching, and even actin localization on validamycin plate where actin content was severely reduced in case of normal strain.
