이 연구에서는 한국 서남부 농촌 경관 내에서 농경지로 고립되어 있는 숲과 연속되어 있는 산림 속 숲에 서식하는 나방의 종 다양성 양상이 10년 동안 어떻게 변화했는가를 알아보았다. 농경지 주변 숲 경관에서 나방 다양성은 과거와 현재 종수는 다소 늘어났지만 개체수는 줄어들었고 산림 숲에서 출현한 나방은 과거에 비해 현재 종수와 개체수 모두 증가하였지만 두 지역 모두 통계적으로 유의하게 나타나지 않았다. 나방 개체수 증감에 날개편 길이를 이용한 나방 크기를 살펴본 결과 농경지 주변 숲에서는 관련이 있었지만 산림 숲 지역에서는 관련이 나타나지 않았다. 농경지 숲과 산림지 숲 간의 시간적 공간적 분석결과 서식지 유형과 시간에 따라 나방 군집에서 차이가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 추후 이러한 나방 군집 변화가 나방 크기 이외 다른 생태학적 요인과 영향을 받는지 그리고 장기적으로 어떻게 변화가 이루어지는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다.

Most South Korean lakes are middle/small size artificial reservoirs, which are almost agricultural reservoirs (17,956). A total of 67 species (21 families) were recorded and collected from 65 agricultural reservoirs though field samplings and literature surveys. Dominant species was Pseudorasbora parva (relative abundance 24.5%), and Carassius auratur (41 sites) was the highest frequency. Feeding group of fish communities in the reservoirs was as follows: carnivorous (16.2%), omnivorous (79.5%) and herbivorous fish (4.3%). The number of individuals (P=0.024), species number (P=0.047) and carnivores number (P=0.024) were significantly correlated with reservoir ages. Reservoirs were classified into 3 groups according to feeding patterns of carnivore, omnivore and herbivore groups. The omnivores were dominant group in agricultural reservoirs. Detailed studies on fish community will be a base for the understanding of food web structure and biomanipulation in reservoir systems.

The study aims to explore the policy directions for young farmers within Korean agricultural context, particularly in Chung-nam Province. In order to accomplish this, young farmers were classified into three categories: successors, new farmers, potential farmers. The importance of young farmers is becoming more of a focus due to decline of population numbers in rural communities as well as the aging of agriculture population. In order to address these two problems, it is necessary to create and implement policy to support each category of young farmer. Rather than the current focus on nurturing young farmers as a labor force, the role of young farmers in maintaining local communities should be expanded in current agricultural system. The local community should provide appropriate conditions for young farmers in Chung-nam Province for the various purposes they have and the roles they fill. In conclusion, it is necessary to provide a 'space' where young farmers can meet base on the community. For this, the role of the community based intermediate support organization for the integrated support system is of great significance.

To estimate the effect of long-term fertilization on metabolically active bacterial communities in a rice field, RNA was extracted from endosphere (rice root), rhizosphere, and bulk soil that had been subjected to different fertilization regimes for 59 years, and the 16S rRNAs were analyzed using the pyrosequencing method. The richness and diversity of metabolically active bacteria were higher in bulk soil than in the endosphere and rhizosphere, and showed no significant difference between non-fertilized and fertilized plots. Weighted UniFrac analysis showed that each compartment had characteristic bacterial communities and that the effect of long-term fertilization on the structure of bacterial community was more pronounced in bulk soil than in the endosphere and rhizosphere. The 16S rRNAs affiliated with Alphaproteobacteria and Firmicutes were more abundant in the endosphere than in bulk soil while those affiliated with Chloroflexi and Acidobacteria were more abundant in bulk soil than in the endosphere. Several dominant operational taxonomic units (clustered at a 97% similarity cut-off) showed different frequencies between non-fertilized and fertilized plots, suggesting that the fertilization affected their activities in the rice field.

In this study, the phylogenetic diversities of bacterial and archaeal communities in a plant-microbial fuel cell (P-MFC) were investigated together with the environmental parameters, affecting its performance by using rice as a model plant. The beneficial effect of the plant appeared only during a certain period of the rice-growing season, at which point the maximum power density was approximately 3-fold higher with rice plants. The temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), and pH in the cathodic and anodic compartments changed considerably during the rice-growing season, and a higher temperature, reduced difference in pH between the cathodic and anodic compartments, and higher EC were advantageous to the performance of the P-MFC. A 16S rRNA pyrosequencing analysis showed that the 16S rRNAs of Deltaproteobacteria and those of Gammaproteobacteria were enriched on the anodes and the cathodes, respectively, when the electrical circuit was connected. At the species level, the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) related to Rhizobiales, Geobacter, Myxococcus, Deferrisoma, and Desulfobulbus were enriched on the anodes, while an OTU related to Acidiferrobacter thiooxydans occupied the highest proportion on the cathodes and occurred only when the circuit was connected. Furthermore, the connection of the electrical circuit decreased the abundance of 16S rRNAs of acetotrophic methanogens and increased that of hydrogenotrophic methanogens. The control of these physicochemical and microbiological factors is expected to be able to improve the performance of P-MFCs.

작물 재배 방법이 토양의 미생물 군집 특성과 화학성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이를 위해서 다섯 곳의 고추 관행 재배지와 다섯 곳의 유기농 재배지 토양을 채취한 후, 16S rRNA 유전자 기반의 파이로시퀀싱 기법으로 미생물 군집을 조사하였다. 분석 결과 총 22개의 세균 문으로 구성되었으며 Proteobacteria 문(33.0 ± 5.7%), Actinobacteria 문(19.9 ± 9.7%) 및 Firmicutes 문(13.6 ± 5.0%)이 우점하였고, 이들은 전체 상대풍부도의 66%를 차지하였다. 고추 관행 재배지와 유기농 재배지의 미생물 군집 분포를 비교했을 때 전반적으로 서로 다른 군집 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 관행 재배 토양에서는 Actinobacteria 문과 Chloroflexi 문이 상대적으로 풍부하였고, 유기 재배 토양에서는 Proteobacteria 문과 Firimicutes 문이 상대적으로 풍부하였다. 특히 Streptomyces 속과 Bacillus 속의 상대풍부도는 관행 재배 토양과 유기 재배 토양 간에 상당한 차이를 보였다. 또한 토양 화학 성에 의하여 세균 군집 변화가 관찰되었는데, Proteobacteria 문의 Rhizobiales 목과 Actinobacteria 문의 Streptomyces 속은 pH에 의해 세균 군집이 바뀌었고, Firimicutes 문의 Bacillus 속은 유기물 함량에 의해 군집 분포가 바뀌었다. 본 연구결과는 재배관리에 따른 토양의 물리-화학성의 변화가 미생물 군집 분포에 뚜렷하게 관련(p<0.05)되어 있다는 것을 보여주었다.

The impacts of planted transgenic rice varieties on bacterial communities in paddy soils were monitored using both cultivation and molecular methods. The rice field plot consisted of eighteen subplots planted with two genetically modified (GM) rice and four non-GM rice plants in three replicates. Analysis with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes revealed that the bacterial community structures were quite similar to each other in a given month, suggesting that there were no significant differences in bacterial communities between GM and non-GM rice soils. The bacterial community structures appeared to be generally stable with the seasons, as shown by a slight variation of microbial population levels and DGGE banding patterns over the year. Comparison analysis of 16S rDNA clone libraries constructed from soil bacterial DNA showed that there were no significant differences between GM and non-GM soil libraries but revealed seasonal differences of phyla distribution between August and December. The composition profile of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) between GM and non-GM soils also was not significantly different to each other. When soil DNAs were analyzed with PCR by using primers for the bar gene, which was introduced into GM rice, positive DNA bands were found in October and December soils. However, no bar gene sequence was detected in PCR analysis with DNAs extracted from both cultured and uncultured soil bacterial fractions. The result of this study suggested that, in spite of seasonal variations of bacterial communities and persistence of the bar gene, the bacterial communities of the experimental rice field were not significantly affected by cultivation of GM rice varieties.

Fire blight disease, caused by Erwinia amylovora, is a devastating affliction in apple cultivation worldwide. Chemical pesticides have exhibited limited effectiveness in controlling the disease, and biological control options for treating fruit trees are limited. Therefore, a relatively large-scale survey is necessary to develop microbial agents for apple trees. Here we collected healthy apple trees from across the country to identify common and core bacterial taxa. We analyzed the endophytic bacterial communities in leaves and twigs and discovered that the twig bacterial communities were more conserved than those in the leaves, regardless of the origin of the sample. This finding indicates that specific endophytic taxa are consistently present in healthy apple trees and may be involved in vital functions such as disease prevention and growth. Furthermore, we compared the community metabolite pathway expression rates of these endophyte communities with those of E. amylovora infected apple trees and discovered that the endophyte communities in healthy apple trees not only had similar community structures but also similar metabolite pathway expression rates. Additionally, Pseudomonas and Methylobacterium-Methylorobrum were the dominant taxa in all healthy apple trees. Our findings provide valuable insights into the potential roles of endophytes in healthy apple trees and inform the development of strategies for enhancing apple growth and resilience. Moreover, the similarity in cluster structure and pathway analysis between healthy orchards was mutually reinforcing, demonstrating the power of microbiome analysis as a tool for identifying factors that contribute to plant health.
