In an investigation of indigenous prokaryotic species in Korea, a total of 35 bacterial strains assigned to the phylum Firmicutes were isolated from diverse habitats including natural and artificial environments. Based on their high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (>98.7%) and formation of robust phylogenetic clades with species of validly published names, the isolates were identified as 35 species belonging to the orders Bacillales (the family Bacillaceae, Paenibacillaceae, Planococcaceae, and Staphylococcaceae) and Lactobacillales (Aerococcaceae, Enterococcaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Leuconostocaceae, and Streptococcaceae). Since these 35 species in Korean environments has not been reported in any official report, we identified them as unrecorded bacterial species and investigated them taxonomically. The newly found unrecorded species belong to 20 species in the order Bacillales and 15 species in the order Lactobacillales. The morphological, cultural, physiological, and biochemical properties of the isolates were examined and the descriptive information of the 35 previously unrecorded species is provided here.

In March 2021, marine sediment from East Sea samples were suspended in a 2% NaCl solution, and serial dilution was performed in fresh marine and Reasoner's 2A agar. Isolated bacterial strains were identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, and showed at least 98.7% sequence similarity with previously reported bacterial species. Finally, seven bacterial strains which were validly published but not reported in Korea, were obtained. These isolates were allocated to the orders Bacillales and Flavobacteriales. The three Flavobacteriales strains are classified into the family Flavobacteriaceae. The other four Bacillales belong to the families Bacillaceae and Paenibacillaceae. The seven unrecorded bacterial strains in this study are classified into seven different genera, which are assigned to Mesobacillus, Paenibacillus, Gramella, Gillisia, Arenibacter, Fictibacillus, and Brevibacillus. During the investigation, the possibility of excavation of various unrecorded species in domestic marine sediment was confirmed. Gram-staining, cell morphology, physiological and basic biochemical characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis were performed in this study and provided in the description of each strain.

A total of 38 bacterial strains within the classes Bacilli and Deinococci were isolated from various sources in Korea. Samples were collected from animal intestine, urine, soil, tidal flat mud, and kimchi. In the sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequences, the 38 isolates were assigned to the classes Bacilli and Deinococci with sequence similarities more than 98.7%. Twenty-four strains and 13 strains were classified the order Bacillales and Lactobacillales in the class Bacilli, respectively. In the order Bacillales, there were nine species in the genus Bacillus, seven species in the genus Paenibacillus, and the remaining eight species in the genera Domibacillus, Halobacillus, Virgibacillus, Lysinibacillus, Paenisporosarcina, Planococcus, Savagea, and Staphylococcus. In the order Lactobacillales, there were four species in the genus Lactobacillus, three species in the genus Leuconostoc, three species in the genus Lactococcus, and the remaining three species in the genera Aerococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus. One species was related to the genus Deinococcus of the order Deinococcales. Most of the isolated strains were Gram-stain-positive, but some were Gram-stain-variable or Gram-stain-negative. Cells were rod or cocci-shaped. Based on the results of 16S rRNA analysis, we report 38 strains as previously unrecorded species to Korea, and the basic characteristics of strains are described herein.

To clarify the pioneer group in the development of biofilms in high chlorine residual water, a semi-pilot model system was operated and 16S rDNA V3 targeted PCR-DGGE was submitted. Biofilm formation occurred rapidly in the model of a drinking water distribution system. It reached $10^3\;CFU/cm^2$ or more on the surface of stainless steel, PVC, and galvanized iron in chlorinated (1.0 mg/l) water within a week. Within a week, uncultured Proteobacteria- and Bacillales group-like sequences were detected and Sphingomonas-like sequences were identified from all season and all pipe materials tested. Hence Sphingomonas species were regarded as the potential pioneer group in the development of biofilm in drinking water and this results would be useful for the prevention of biofilm formation and safety of drinking tap water.

토양 내 미생물 군집의 변화가 비소 용출에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 비소 오염 토양(F1, G7, G10)을 대상으로 실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 혐기적 조건에서 비소 오염 토양을 ① BAC: 멸균토양 + Bacillus fungorum, ② IND: 토착균 토양, ③ MIX: 토착균 토양 + B. fungorum으로 나누어 혐기적 조건에서 유산염을 탄소원으로 하여 7주간 배양하였다. 실험 결과, 토착균 군집이 존재하는 IND와 MIX에서 BAC에 비하여 높은 함량의 비소가 용출되었으며, pH가 높은 G10 토양에서 F1과 G7 토양에 비해 비소 용출량이 월등히 높았다. G10 토양의 경우, 다른 토양과 달리 용출된 비소 중 As(III) 함량의 비율이 낮았다. 이러한 결과는 토양에 따라 상이하게 나타나는 미생물 군집의 차이에 기인할 수도 있다. IND와 MIX는 7주차에 이르러 미생물의 다양성이 크게 감소하였으며 실험 조건에 적응한 Eubacteriales 및 Bacillales 등의 우점목이 번성하였다. F1 토양의 7주차 MIX에서는 Bacteroidales, G7 토양의 7주차 IND와 MIX에서는 Rummelibaciilus가 번성하였다. G10 토양의 IND와 MIX에서는 Enterobacterales가 우점목 중 하나를 차지하였다. 현재로서는 미생물 군집의 변화가 비소의 지구화학적 거동에 어떠한 메커니즘으로 영향을 미치는지에 관한 정보가 부족하나, 이러한 결과는 토양 내 마이크로바이옴이 비소의 용출을 조절하는 요인 중 하나로 기능할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

본 연구는 옥수수 사일리지에서 첨가제 처리와 저장기간을 달리 하였을 때 사일리지의 품질 변화 및 미생물 군집 변화를 검토함으로써 품질 향상 방안을 찾기 위해 수행되었다. 각 미생물 미접종 시험구(CON)와 미생물 접종 시험구(ADD) 내에서 저장기간에 따른 옥수수 사일리지의 영양소 함량의 변화는 없었다(p>0.05). 그러나 각 시험구 내에서 저장기간에 따른 건물(DM)의 감소(CON, 35.9~33.2%; ADD, 34.5~32.7%; p<0.05)와 젖산 함량의 증가(CON, 6.03~6.71%; ADD, 6.02~9.00%; p<0.05) 및 Lactobacillales의 상대적 비율의 증가(CON, 34.3~79.5%; ADD, 84.8~93.3%)는 발효 120일까지 지속적인 발효가 진행되었음을 나타낸다. 옥수수 사일리지의 발효 전에는 Enterobacterales (33.0%), Flavobacteriales (14.4%), Sphingobacteriales (12.7%), Burkholderiales (9.28%), Pseudomonadales (6.18%)등이 우점하였으나, 발효 후 Lactobacillales (69.4%), Bacillales (11.5%), Eubacteriales (7.59%)의 우점으로 인해 미생물의 다양성이 급격히 감소하였다. 결과적으로 옥수수 사일리지는 모든 저장기간에서 첨가제 유무에 관계 없이 양호한 발효 품질을 유지하였으나, 장기간 저장에도 발효가 지속되는 점과 호기적 안정성을 고려한다면 미생물 첨가제를 이용하는 것이 유리할 것으로 사료된다.

To investigate whether Serratia marcescens (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae) isolated from Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae) acts as an opportunistic bacterium in peroral infection, the primary entomopathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) and Paenibacillus popilliae (Eubacteriales: Bacillaceae) were added to sawdust to perform a bioassay experiment. We found that peroral infection caused by S. marcescens could be fatal beyond a concentration of $4{\times}10^8pfu/mL$ in $2^{nd}$ stage P. b. seulensis larvae and at $6{\times}10^8pfu/mL$ in $3^{rd}$ stage P. b. seulensis larvae. In particular, mortality resulting from a combination of P. popilliae and S. marcescens was markedly increased in $2^{nd}$ stage P. b. seulensis larvae. Therefore, we confirmed that mortality was increased when S. marcescens was infected together with other entomopathogenic bacteria, and that peroral infection itself can be fatal beyond certain concentrations.

To investigate the indigenous prokaryotic species diversity in Korea, various environmental samples from diverse ecosystems were examined taxonomically. The isolated bacterial strains were identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, and those exhibiting at least 98.7% sequence similarity with known bacterial species but never reported in Korea were selected as unrecorded species. As an outcome of this study, 10 unrecorded bacterial species belonging to the phylum Firmicutes were discovered from various sources such as soil, tidal flat, fresh water, sea water, kimchi and gut of Fulvia mutica. The unrecorded species were assigned to 7 different genera of 5 families, namely Bacillus and Ornithinibacillus of Bacillaceae, Exiguobacterium of Exiguobacteriaceae, Brevibacillus and Paenibacillus of Paenibacillaceae, Staphylococcus of Staphylococcaceae, and Lactococcus of Streptococcaceae. The selected isolates were subjected to further taxonomic characterization including the analysis of Gram reaction, cellular and colonial morphology, biochemical activities, and phylogenetic trees. The descriptive information on the 10 unrecorded species are provided.
