The Burkholderia cepacia complex isolates causing bacterial fruit rot of apricot were characterized by speciesspecific PCR tests, recA-HaeIII restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assays, rep-PCR genomic fingerprinting, recA gene sequencing, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis. Results indicated that the isolates Bca 0901 and Bca 0902 gave positive amplifications with primers specific for B. vietnamiensis while the two bacterial isolates showed different recA-RFLP and rep-PCR profiles from those of B. vietnamiensis strains. In addition, the two bacterial isolates had a higher proteolytic activity compared with that of the non-pathogenic B. vietnamiensis strains while no cblA and esmR marker genes were detected for the two bacterial isolates and B. vietnamiensis strains. The two bacterial isolates were identified as Burkholderia seminalis based on recA gene sequence analysis and MLST analysis. Overall, this is the first characterization of B. seminalis that cause bacterial fruit rot of apricot.

The genus Burkholderia consists of extremely versatile bacteria that occupy diverse niches and are commonly encountered in the rhizosphere of crop plants. In this study, we characterized three plant growth promoting strains assigned as Burkholderia sp. using biochemical and molecular characterization. The Burkholderia spp. strains CBMB40, CBPB-HIM, and CBPB-HOD were characterized using biochemical tests, BIOLOG carbon substrate utilization, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, analysis of recA gene sequences, and DNA-DNA hybridization. The results from these studies indicated that the strains CBMB40, CBPB-HIM, and CBPB-HOD can be assigned under Burkholderia vietnamiensis, Burkholderia ubonensis, and Burkholderia pyrrocinia, respectively.

본 연구는 왕겨에서 tricin 4'-O-(threo-${\beta}$-guaiacylglyceryl) ether(TTGE)를 생성시키는 균주를 분리와 동정하기 위하여 실시하였다. 발아 벼 추출물을 MYP, PDA, YM 및 LB 배지에 배양하고 각 배지에서 분리한 균을 왕겨에 접종해 TTGE 생성량을 측정한 결과 PDA 배지에서 자란 균에 의한 TTGE의 생성량($339.30{\mu}g/g$)이 가장 많았다. 분리한 균을 동정한 결과 Burkholderia vietnamiensis로 확인하였으며, 형태학적 및 생물학적 특성을 살펴본 결과 catalase 활성을 갖는 short rod 형태의 Gram 세균인 것으로 확인해 기존 Burkholderia 속의 특성과 일치하였다. 또한 분리한 세균을 살균한 왕겨에 접종하여 배양시킨 결과 배양기간에 따라 TTGE의 함량은 증가하였으며, 72시간 동안 배양에서 $435.86{\mu}g/g$로 가장 많은 증가를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 폐기되는 왕겨를 활용함으로써 왕겨의 함유된 TTGE의 함량을 증대시켜 기능소재로 사용할 수 있는 기초 자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the dynamics of living cells (LC) and dead cells (DC) in a laboratory-scale biofilm membrane bioreactor for waste gas treatment was examined. Toluene was used as a model pollutant. The bacterial cells were enumerated as fluoromicroscopic counts during a 140 operating day period using BacLight nucleic acid staining in combination with epifluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CSLM). Overall, five different phases could be distinguished during the biofilm development: (A) cell attachment, (B) pollutant limitation, (C) biofilm establishment and colonization, (D) colonized biofilm, and (E) biofilm erosion. The bioreactor was operated under different conditions by applying different pollutant concentrations. An optimum toluene removal of 89% was observed at a loading rate of 14.4 kg $m^{-3}d^{-1}$. A direct correlation between the biodegradation rate of the reactor and the dynamics of biofilm development could be demonstrated. This study shows the first description of biofilm development during gaseous toluene degradation in MBR.

Among different types of spoilage, microbial contamination can cause feed decomposition, which results in decreases in feed intake and productivity, infection, and breeding disorder. During the storage time, various microbes have a chance to inoculate with depreciation of feed and to infect the animals. We investigated bacteria that inhabit diverse feed ingredients and complete feed which have been stored for a few months. We isolated and identified 30 genera and 62 species of bacteria. Among these 62 species, 21 species were of non-pathogenic bacteria, 18 species were of pathogenic bacteria, 9 species were of opportunistic pathogens, and 14 species were of unknown bacteria. Pantoea allii and 24 species showed proteolytic enzyme activity. We also confirmed that 6 species including Pseudomonas psychrotolerans showed ${\alpha}$-amylase activity, and 29 species including Burkholderia vietnamiensis showed cellulase activity. Microbacterium testaceum and 3 species showed resistance to Ampicillin, Kanamycin, Streptomycin, Gentamicin, Carbenicillin, and Erythromycin ($50{\mu}g/mL$). Using mealworm larvae (Tenebrio molitor L.) as a model for pathogenicity, we confirmed that 8 species including Staphylococcus xylosus had pathogenicity for mealworm larvae. Especially, Enterobacter hormaechei, Staphylococcus xylosus, and Staphylococcus hominis were reported as being pathogenic for humans. This research suggests that hygienic management of animal feed is essential because beneficial and harmful bacteria can inhabit animal feed differently during storage and distribution.
