본 연구에서는 PCR-DGGE 기법을 이용하여 DO 농도에 따른 동시 질산화.탈질 반응조 내 미생물 군집 변화 양상을 규명하고자 하였다. DO 농도의 변화에 따른 eubacteria의 군집 변화 해석 실험에서, DO 농도를 2와 1 mg/L로 운전한 반응조 내의 band profile은 거의 유사하게 관찰되었으며 5종의 우점화 미생물(Uncultured Bacterium 3종, Bacillus sp. 1종, Uncultured Bacteroidetes sp. 1종)을 포함한 16종의 미생물을 동정할 수 있었다. 그리고 DO 농도 0.5 mg/L로 운전한 반응조 내의 DGGE 결과 7종의 우점화 미생물(Uncultured Bacterium 5종, Zoogloea sp. 2종)을 포함한 12종의 미생물을 동정할 수 있었으며, DO 농도 0.1 mg/L로 운전한 반응조의 경우 3종의 우점화 미생물(Uncultured Bacterium 1종, Zoogloea sp. 2종)을 포함한 11종의 미생물을 동정할 수 있었다. 반응조 내 DO 농도의 변화에 따른 $\beta$-AOB($\beta$-Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria)의 군집 변화 해석 실험 결과, 하나의 band를 관찰할 수 있었다. 이 band는 Uncultured Nitrosomonas sp. done DNB Y20와 97%의 유사도를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며 2, 1, 그리고 0.5 mg/L의 DO 농도에서 추출한 sample에서는 선명하게 관측되었으나, 0.1 mg/L DO 농도에서 추출한 sample에서는 선명도가 현저히 감소하였다. 이는 NH$_4{^+}$-N의 질산화 양상과 상관관계가 있음을 보였다. 반응조 내 DO 농도에 따른 탈질 bacteria의 군집 변화 해석실험 결과, 다섯 개의 band(nirS를 함유하는 Uncultured organism 미생물 3종, nirK를 함유하는 Uncultured bacterium 미생물 2종)가 관측되었으며 관측된 band 중 한 band는 DO 농도가 낮아질수록 선명도가 현저히 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 band에 해당하는 미생물은 86%의 유사도를 가진 Uncultured organism clone eS1 cd1 nirS gene, partial cds로, 본 연구의 탈질 반응에 직접적으로 관여 하는 미생물로 사료된다.

In this study, we isolated two novel chitinase producing bacterial strains from yellow loess samples collected from Jullanamdo province. The chitinase producing bacteria were isolated based on the zone size of clearance in the chitin agar plates. Both of them were gram positive, rod ($2{\sim}3{\times}0.3{\sim}0.4{\mu}m$), spore-forming, and motility positive. They were facultative anaerobic, catalase positive and hydrolyzed starch, gelatin, and casein. From the 16s rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolates were labeled as Bacillus licheniformis KYLS-CU01 and B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02. The isolates showed higher extracellular chitinase activities than B. licheniformis ATCC 14580 as a control. The optimum temperature and pH for chitinase production were $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the culture medium for efficient production of the chitinase. Under this optimal condition, 1.5 times higher chitinase activity of B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02 was obtained. Extracellular chitinases of the two isolates were purified through ammonium sulfate precipitation and anion-exchange DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The specific activities of purified chitinase from B. licheniformis KYLS-CU01 and B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02 were 7.65 and 5.21 U/mg protein, respectively. The molecular weights of the two purified chitinases were 59 kDa. Further, the purified chitinase of B. licheniformis KYLS-CU01 showed high antifungal activity against Fusarium sp.. In conclusion, these two bacterial isolates can be used as a biopesticide to control pathogenic fungi.

An extracellular agarase was purified from Bacillus sp. BI-3, a thermophilic agar-degrading bacterium isolated from a hot spring in Indonesia. The purified agarase revealed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, with an apparent molecular mass of 58 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature of the agarase were 6.4 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. The activity of the agarase was stable at high temperatures, and more than 50% activity was retained at $80^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. Furthermore, the enzyme was stable in the pH range of 5.8-8.0, and more than 60% of the residual activity was retained. Significant activation of the agarase was observed in the presence of $K^+$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Sr^{2+}$; on the other hand, $Ba^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, and EDTA inhibited or inactivated the enzyme activity. The components of the hydrolytic product analyzed by thin-layer chromatography showed that the agarase mainly produced neoagarobiose. This study is the first to present evidence of agarolytic activity in aerobic thermophilic bacteria.

In order to obtain promising rice growth-promoting microbial strains that can be used as substitutes for chemical fertilizers, 172 bacterial strains were isolated from rice roots grown in Korean and Russian soils. Out of them, the strains KR076, KR083, KR181 and RRj228 showed plant growth-promoting activities on maize seedlings. Bacillus megaterium KR076 and Bacillus sp. KR083 showed both nitrogen-fixing and plant growth-promoting activities, while Rhizobium sp. KR181 and Pseudomonas sp. RRj228 appeared to support only plant growth-promotion, but not $N_2$ fixation. Especially, RRj228 showed high growth promoting activity at low concentrations. Inoculation studies with KR083 and RRj228 revealed a high affinity to the Japonica rice variety such as Junambyeo than the Korean Tongil type variety such as Arumbyeo. Both KR083 and RRj228 strains showed rhizoplane and/or endophytic colonization in Japonica and Tongil types rice when soaked with the bacterial suspension of $1.1{\times}10^5cfu\;ml^{-1}$ for six and twelve hours. However, the total bacterial cell numbers were higher in the roots of Japonica variety than in the Tongil type. In inoculation trials with Daesanbyeo rice variety, the seedlings inoculated with KR181 and RRj228 at the rate of $2.0{\times}10^6cfu\;ml^{-1}$ showed yield increment of 35% and 33% (p < 0.01), respectively, so that they contributed to the replacement of chemical fertilizer at half doses of N, $P_2O_5$, and $K_2O$ in pots. In Junambyeo rice seedlings, the strain RRj228, when inoculated with a cell suspension of $1.8{\times}10^6cfu\;ml^{-1}$, promoted 3.4% higher yield at 70% dose than at a full dose level of N $110kg\;ha^{-1}$ in field. These results suggest that the rhizobacteria KR181 and RRj228 are prospective strains for enhancing rice performance.

Three zymographic techniques using casein, fibrin, and gelatin as substrates in SDS-PAGE were compared based on three aspects: (1) The proteolytic pattern of extracellular enzymes from the three bacterial strains, Bacillus sp. DJ-1, DJ-2, and DJ-3. (2) The enzymatic sensitivity of their activity on zymogram gels. (3) The stability of stained zymogram gels with Coomassie brilliant blue in the destaining solution. There was no significant difference on the pattern of extracellular enzymes from the three strains. The bands in the fibrin gel were clearer and more distinct from the extensive destaining process. It was also shown that the gelatin gel revealed the highest enzymatic sensitivity among the three gels, based on the densitometric analysis. In the casein gel, a trace that could be mistaken as a proteolytic band appeared around 40-50 kDa.

Podosphaera fusca에 의한 멜론 흰가루병은 우리나라에서 멜론의 심각한 식물병 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 선발한 길항세균의 다양한 식물병원균에 대한 균사 생육 억제 및 메론 흰가루병 방제에 대한 효과를 평가하였다. 16S rDNA 및 gyrA 유전자의 염기서열을 바탕으로 선발한 길항세균 Bacillus sp. M09, M70 및 M99-1을 동정한 결과 B. velezensis로 동정되었다. B. velezensis M09, M70 및 M99-1는 다양한 식물병원균에 47~69%의 균사생육 억제 효과를 보였을뿐만 아니라 흰가루병균의 발생을 현저히 감소시켰다. 본 연구에서 선발한 3균주는 멜론 흰가루병뿐만 아니라 다양한 식물병에 대한 잠재적인 생물방제제로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

The bacterial diversity inherent to the biofilm community structure of a modified rotating biological contactor wastewater treatment process, referred to as the Rotating Activated Bacillus Contactor (RABC) process, was characterized in this study, via both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. On the basis of culture-dependent methods, Bacillus sp. were found to exist in large numbers on the biofilm (6.5% of the heterotrophic bacteria) and the microbial composition of the biofilms was quite simple. Only three phyla were identified-namely, the Proteobacteria, the Actinobacteria (High G+C Gram-positive bacteria), and the Firmicutes (Low G+C Gram-positive bacteria). The culture-independent partial 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed a considerably more diverse microbial composition within the biofilms. A total of eight phyla were recovered in this case, three of which were major groups: the Firmicutes (43.9%), the Proteobacteria (28.6%), and the Bacteroidetes (17.6%). The remaining five phyla were minor groups: the Planctomycetes (4.4%), the Chlorobi (2.2%), the Actinobacteria (1.1%), the Nitrospirae (1.1%), and the Verrucomicrobia (1.1%). The two most abundant genera detected were the endospore-forming bacteria (31.8%), Clostridium and Bacillus, both of which are members of the Firmicutes phylum. This finding indicates that these endospore-forming bacteria successfully colonized and dominated the RABC process biofilms. Many of the colonies or clones recovered from the biofilms evidenced significantly high homology in the 16S rDNA sequences of bacteria stored in databases associated with advanced wastewater treatment capabilities, including nitrification and denitrification, phosphorus accumulation, the removal of volatile odors, and the removal of chlorohydrocarbons or heavy metals. The microbial community structures observed in the biofilms were found to correlate nicely with the enhanced performance of advanced wastewater treatment protocols.

The experiment was carried out to analyze the inhibition effect of plant pathogenic fungi and growth promotion activity induced by the bacterial strains isolated from peatmoss. Among the isolated bacterial strains, B10-2, B10-4, B10-5 and B10-6 which showed more than 30% inhibition rate against Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani in vitro, were further analyzed in the greenhouse for the growth promotion activity on lettuce (Lactuca sativa), pak-choi (Brassica compestris L. ssp. chinensis) and Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis). The results showed the treatment of B10-4 on lettuce showed the highest growth promotion activity with the leaf area ($169.17cm^2$), fresh weight (leaf: 40.29 g, root: 8.80 g)and dry weight (leaf: 11.24 g, root: 4.17 g), which was about two folds as compared to control. On pak-choi, the growth promotion rate was the highest with the leaf area of $112.87cm^2$, leaf fresh weight of 60.70 g, root fresh weight of 3.37 g, leaf dry weight of 14.34 g, and root dry weight of 1.90 g. As a result of treatment of B10-13 on chinese cabbage, the growth promotion rate was the highest with the leaf area ($293.56cm^2$), fresh weight (leaf: 113.67 g, root: 2.40 g) and dry weight (leaf: 6.03 g, root: 0.53 g). The production of Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and Indole-3-Butylic Acid (IBA) were also analyzed in these bacterial isolates. The IAA and IBA analyses were carried out in all bacterial isolates each day within the 5 days of incubation period. The highest production of IAA was observed with $112.57{\mu}g/mg$ protein in B10-4 after 3 days of incubation and IBA production was the highest in B10-2 with $58.71{\mu}g/mg$ protein after 2 days of incubation. Also, phosphate solubilizing activity was expressed significantly in B10-13 in comparison to that of other bacterial isolates. Bacterial identification showed that B10-2 was Bacillaceae bacterium and B10-5 was Bacillus cereus, B10-4 and B10-6 were Bacillus sp. and B-13 was Staphylococcus sp. by ITS sequence.
