Whiteflies harbor several secondary endosymbionts, which are maternally inherited from mother to offspring, that have major effects on host preferences, biology, and evolution. Here, we identified Wolbachia bacteria in sweetpotato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) as well as whitefly popluations from other countries by comparison of 16S rDNA sequences. Wolbachia were detected in all tested indigenous B. tabaci populations (Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and the Philippines) as well as Q1 biotype of Korea, whereas they were absent from B biotype of Korea and Q biotype of China. Wolbachia were also detected in all five tested Aleurodicus dispersus populations as well as Tetraleurodes acaciae, whereas they were not detected in all seven Trialeurodes vaporariorum populatuions. In addiiton, Wolbachia were detected in parasitic wasp (Encarsia formosa) of B. tabaci as well as honeybee (Apis mellifera). Among the 19 whitefly populations from different countries, our analysis identified four phylogenetic groups of Wolbachia, thereby demonstrating the high diversity of this genus. Wolbachia phylogeny suggests a correlation of geographical range with ecological variation at the species level.

Biotyping of Vibrio vulnificus strains isolated from marine environments along the south coast of Korea showed that the majority of the isolates (94.7%) belonged to biotype 1 and the remaining isolates (5.3%) belonged to biotype 2. Analysis of 16S rRNA V. vulnificus strains isolated from marine environments using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed that 78.7% were type A and 21.3% were type B. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to analyze the genomic differences in V. vulnificus among the biotype 2 strains isolated from marine environments (newly isolated strains group) and reference strains obtained from infected eels (reference strains group). The two groups had distinctly different profiles of the amplicons produced from RAPD. Additionally, biochemical comparison of these strains revealed that all four strains isolated from marine environments differed from the strains isolated from eels in their ability to promote D-mannitol fermentation. Two (NH 1 and NH 2) out of four isolates of biotype 2 from marine environments showed pathogenicity in eels Anguilla japonica in a challenge test. These isolates did not agglutinate with antisera against V. vulnificus NCIMB 2137 (serovar E), ATCC 27562 (non-serovar E), and ATCC 33816 (atypical serovar E).

시장에서 수집한 갈변병에 감염된 느타리버섯으로부터 125 균주를 분리하였고 그 중 45 균주는 병원성 균주로 조사되었다. WLFO 6 strains, WLFO 6 strains으로 나타났고, WLRO의 몇 균주는 병원성 검정 실험에서 약한 병원성을 나타내기도 했다. WLFO 6균주는 모두 느타리버섯의 갈변병 주원인균으로 알려진 P. tolaasii로 미생물 신속 동성을 (MIDI, gas chromatograph-microbial identification system)에 의해 동정되었고 WLRO는 P. gingeri, P. fluorescens biotype A and type C. 로 동정되었다. 그 외의 선발된 Pseudomonas spp.는 P. gingeri, P. agarici, P. fluorescens biotype B, P. chloroaphis, non-pathogenic P. tolaasii, P. putida biotype A, B 등으로 동정이 되었다. 분리된 병원성 세균의 세포배양 여과액으로 버섯에서의 갈변과 조직 함몰을 실험하였다. 병원성 검정에서 약한 병원성을 보인 분리균들은 갈변 또는 조직함몰이 나타나지 않았으나 강한 병원성을 나타냈던 균들은 두 현상이 모두 나타났다. P. tolaasii에 의해서 생성되는 세포외독소인 tolaasin의 활성을 조사하기 위하여 600 nm에서 용혈 활성을 측정하였다. P. tolaasii로 동정된 6 균주는 0.8∼0.9, 약한 병원성의 WLROs는 0.9∼1.0 그리고 Pseudomonas spp.는 10∼1.2로 나타났다. 공초점 현미경 기술을 이용하여 신선한 버섯에서의 조직을 optical sectioning image와 vertical sectioning image로 관찰하였고 또한 P. toiaasii에 의하여 오염된 조직부위의 영상을 회득하였다.

Eight strains of the bacteria capable of growing on salicylate as the sole carbon source were isolated form soil and river water. Three of these isolates were identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (AcBl), Pseuomonas putida biotype B (PpB2), and P. putida biotype A (PpB3). Effects of temperature, pH and C source concentration on biodegradation of salicylate by PpB3 were wxamined. The optimum conditions were as follows; $30^{\circ}C$ for temperature, 7.0 for pH, and 10mM for C source concentration. Ultraviolet scanning spectrum of the salicylate was measured. The spectrum has two peaks at 225nm and 292nm. The spectra of the culture filtrates indicate that ring degradation of salicylate is accomplished.

The present study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of brucellosis in Kyungbuk area for the 3 years from 1966 to 1998. Collective milk samples were routinely screened to detect positive farms by using the milk ring test(MRT), and serum agglutination test was performed to detect sero-positive individuals in the MRT positive farms. Attempt were made to isolate the causative organismas from slaughtered sero-positive reactors and some biochemical and polymerase chain reation characters of the isolates were also made to identify the organisms. Seroprevalence to brucellosis in peoples who are close contact with infected dairy herds was also investigated. Brucellosis of dairy cattle was rare before 1997, but has been broken more frequently since early 1998. By the MRT for dairy herds, positive rate was gradually increased every year : 0.6% in 1996, 1.5% in 1997, 3.9% in 1998. Among 262 MRT-positive herds, only 21 herds(8.0%) showed positive brucellosis in serological test. The isolation rates of Brucella sp from tested materials were 51.2% in supramammary glands, 39.5% in milks, and 50.0% in pulmonary Iymphnode, respectively. Isolated strain and biotype were Brucella(B) arbortus biotype 1 in 26 heads, and were B suis biotype 1 in 2 heads. Isolated strain and vaccine strain were very similar in their colony morphology and staining. In drug susceptibility, isolated stains(B abortus) and vaccine strain(B abortus RB-51) were sensitive to ampicillin, gentamycin, kanamycin, neomycin, penicillin, streptomycin, and to tetracycline, but resistant to erythromycin. In the PCR, field strains reacted to BA and IS711 primers, and vaccine strain reacted to BA, IS711, and RB5l primers. In the plate agglutination test of 96 sera of human contacted with animals, serum antibody titer detected 1 : 100 in one person, 1 : 200 in one, and below 1 : 25 in the others.

수영만에서 분리된 Bacillus cereus group LS-1 의 형태학적, 생화학적 성상 및 지방산 조성 분석을 통하여 세균학적인 특성을 밝혔다. B. cereus group LS-1 은 면양혈구배지에서 비용혈성의 점조성 집략과 convex 하고 가장자리가 규칙적인 둥근형태로 운동성이 없고 glucose, maltose, sucrose 와 gelatin 을 이용하고 trehalose 와 salicin 을 분해하지 않으며 6.5% NaCl 에서 자라지 않는 Gram 양성의 중심성 아포형성간균으로 표준균주 B. cereus group 과 다소 차이를 나타내었다. 지방산 조성 분석에서 chain 의 길이가 $C_{12}$ 에서 $C_{17}$로 iso $C_{15}$와 iso $C_{13}$의 branched chain 이 우점하는 B. cereus group 의 전형적인 특징을 나타내었으며 $nC^{15}$가 검출되지 않는 B.mycoides GC subgroup B 로 0.312 의 similarity index(SI) 를 지칭하여 다른 연구 결과와도 일치하였다. 한편 API system (API 50 CHB & API 20E) 의 ATB computer profile 에서 "Doubful Profile" 99.7% 의 B. firmus 로 나타내어 큰차이를 나타내었다. 67 개의 biochemical character 로 B. mycoids S-12 는 각각 42%, 42% 59% 와 52% 의 similarity matrix 를 나타내었다. B. cereus group 간의 아주 낮은 similarity 를 나타내어 상당한 차이가 있음을 인식하였다. 따라서 key test 와 지방산 조성등을 종합하여 볼때 B. ceresu group 중의 B. mycoides 로 새로운 biotype 인 것으로 사료되며 지방산 조성 분석으로 동정함이 훨씬 용이하였다.

A study on the isolation of Yersiniae from the feces of wild animals(mammals 376, birds 19 and reptiles 13) in zoo and the biotype and serotype and susceptibility of 12 antibiotics was carried. Out of 408 animals, Yersiniae were isolated from 28 animals(6.9%). Of 28 isolates, 27 isolates(96.4%) were Y. enterocolitica and 1(3.6%) was Y. kristensenii. According to the species, 25(6.6%) of Y. enterocolitica and 1(0.3%) of Y. kristensenii were isolated from 376 mammals, 2(15.4%) of Y. enterocolitica from 13 reptiles but not isolated from 19 birds. According to the eating pattern, 8(5.2%) of Y. enterocolitica were isolated from 155 carnivora, 13(10%) of Y. enterocolitica from 123 herbivora, and 6(4.9%) of Y. enterocolitica and 1(0.8%) of Y. enterocolitica from 123 omnivora. Out of 27 isolates of Y. enterocolitica, all were biotype 1. And predominant serotype was 0:21(40.7%), and 0:5(37.0%), 0:6(11.1%), 0:1(3.7%), 0:9(3.7%) and untypable(3.7%). Yersiniae isolated from zoo animals were resistant to cephalothin(100%), ampicillin(96.4%), carbenicillin(96.4%) and tetracycline(14.3%) and streptomycin(3.6%) and susceptible to chloramphenicol(100%), colistin(100%), gentamicin(100%), kanamycin(100%), nalidixic acid(100%), polymyxin B(100%) and tobramycin(100%). The predominant multiple resistance pattern was Am-Cf-Cb(82.1%), and Am-Cf-Cb-Te(10.7%) and Am-Cf-Cb-Te-Sm(3.7%).

국내외에서 분양 받고 국내식육에서 분리된 총 100균주의 Y. enterocolitica에 대한 병원성여부를 HEp-2세포 침투성 시험법을 기준으로 하고 여러 가지 병원성 확인 방법을 비교하였다. 혈청형만으로 병원성을 판단하기에는 충분하지 않았고 이외의 방법 즉, esculin과 salicin시험, pyrazinamidase 시험, biotype 등의 생화학적 특성에 바탕을 둔 실험 단독으로 병원성을 판단하기에는 완전하지 않았다. D-xylose 발효실험, CRMOX agar 시험과 자동응고반응(Autoagglutination)들은 병원성확인에 보조적인 역할만을 할 수 있었다. HEp-2 세포 침투성 시험법은 시간과 노력이 많이 소요되므로 이 방법을 대치할 수 있는 간단하고 신속, 정확하게 Y. enterocolitica 병원성을 확인할 수 있는 방법은 esculin시험에서 음성반응을 보이는 것만 PCR시험을 행하여 판별하는 것이라고 사려된다.
