Taxonomic accounts are given to four species of Jania, Rhodophyta from Korea; J. adhaerens Lamouroux, J. nipponica (Yendo) Yendo, J. radiata (Yendo) Yendo and J. yenoshimensis (Yendo) Yendo. J. adhaerens is an epiphyte and characterized by massive tufts with decussate-dichotomous branches. J. nipponica growing on the rocks is different from other plants by erect tuft with low-angle dichotomous branches. J. radiata has a small epiphytic thallus (5 mm) and flat, flabellate-dichotomous branches. And J. yenoshimensis grows on the rocks in sublittoral regions and has compressed, fastigate, regular-dichotomous branches. This species is distinguished form others by the formation of slender moniliform branchlets. Among these, J. yenoshimensis is first reported in Korea in this study.

Two new species, Thelopsis ullungdoensis and Phylloblastia gyeongsangbukensis are described from Ullung-Do (Island), South Korea. The closest relatives from Europe and Korea are epiphytic Thelopsis flaveola which differs by their immersed or semi-immersed yellow ascomata, ascospores without halo and their habitat of smooth bark (mainly Fagus) in humid and cold climates. Thelopsis gangwondoensis differs by its bigger semi-immersed ascomata (600-700 ㎛ in diam.), oblong halonate ascospores (8-12 × 6-8 ㎛) and its habitat of smooth bark of deciduous trees. P. gyeongsangbukensis differs from its relatives within the genus in having 5-septate ascospores (22-26 × 6-8 ㎛), semi-immersed, subglobose ascomata with a flattened top (250-400 ㎛) and a thin, matt, uneven gray-brown to gray-green continuous thallus without isidia.

The newly created wetlands in the Geum River Basin have undergone various environmental changes since their establishment in 2012. In this study, we evaluated the influence of environmental characteristics on zooplankton, which are sensitive to environmental changes, and considered appropriate wetland management plans. The thirty-two wetlands were divided into two groups based on the differences in their macrophyte cover. High species diversity and zooplankton density were found in cluster 2, which had abundant macrophyte cover. In contrast, cluster 1, with low plant cover, had lower species diversity and zooplankton density, primarily of pelagic zooplankton. To maintain species diversity and abundance of zooplankton in wetlands, we recommend implementing a management strategy that encourages the development of various plant communities through efficient water conveyance functions.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of adding encapsulated-glucose, glucose, sorbic acid or prefermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLB) on the fermentation quality and residual mono- and disaccharide composition of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam) silages. The additive treatments were as follows: (1) control (no addition), (2) encapsulated-glucose addition at 0.5% for glucose, (3) glucose addition at 1%, (4) sorbic acid addition at 0.1%, (5) FJLB addition at a theoretical application rate of $2.67{\times}10^5$ CFU (colony forming unit) $g^{-1}$, on a fresh weight basis of Italian ryegrass. Although control and encapsulated-glucose treatments had higher contents of butyric acid (33.45, 21.50 g $kg^{-1}$ DM) and ammonia-N/Total nitrogen (114.91, 87.01 g $kg^{-1}$) as compared with the other treated silages, the fermentation in all silages was clearly dominated by lactic acid. This was well indicated by the low pH (4.38-3.59), and high lactic acid/acetic acid (4.39-22.97) and lactic acid content (46.85-121.76 g $kg^{-1}$ DM). Encapsulated-0.5% glucose and glucose addition increased lactic acid/acetic acid, and significantly (p<0.05) decreased ammonia-N/total nitrogen, and the contents of butyric acid and total volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as compared with the control. However, there were higher butyric acid and lower residual mono-and di-saccharides on the two treatments as compared with sorbic acid and FJLB addition, and their utilization efficiency of water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) was lower than that of both sorbic acid and FJLB additions. Sorbic acid addition showed the lowest content of ethanol and ammonia-N/total nitrogen, and the highest content of residual fructose and total mono-and disaccharides as well as the higher lactic acid/acetic acid value. Sorbic acid addition decreased the loss of mono-and disaccharides, and inhibited the activity of clostridial and other undesirable bacteria, and greatly increased the utilization efficiency of fermentable substrates by epiphytic LAB. FJLB addition had the lowest pH value and the highest lactic acid content among all additive treatments, with the most intensive lactic acid fermentation occurring in FJLB treated silage. This resulted in the faster accumulation of lactic acid and faster pH reduction. Sorbic acid and FJLB addition depressed clostridia or other undesirable bacterial fermentation which decreased the WSC loss and saved the fermentable substrate for lactic acid fermentation.

착생식물인 American Ivy의 기근이 흡착 표면에 부착할 때 착생에 따라 일어나는 형태 및 세포수준에서의 분화현상을 전자현미경적으로 연구하였다. 발달 중의 어린 기근은 향축면과 배축면이 구별되지 않는 곤봉상의 형태로 세포소기관들이 비교적 발달하며 색소체가 분포하는 유세포로 구성되어 있다. 이때 유세포 내 여러 액포에는 전자밀도가 높은 물질(EDS)의 축적이 두드러지게 나타나기 시작하였고, 이러한 현상은 기근 표피의 최외층 및 인접한 세포층에서 가장 신속하게 일어났다. 착생하는 기근의 세포는 훨씬 확장되었으나, EDS의 축적으로 인한 액포의 융합으로 세포질은 세포벽 주위로 밀려 극히 일부만 분포하였다. 착생과 거의 동시에 이들 세포층에는 급격한 변화가 일어나 세포질 내 미세구조들이 분해 소실되었고 액포 내 다량의 EDS도 극히 소량만 잔류하거나 거의 사라져 세포는 공동화되었다. 이와 함께, 세포벽 또한 변형되어 점차 불규칙적인 형태의 세포들로 변하였다. 착생이 더욱 진행되면 양면의 표피조직 및 세포들은 모두 불규칙적인 형태로 변화되고, 표면 부위는 일련의 분비물질들이 축적되었다. 흡착이 진행되어 대상 물체표면에 강력히 착생하면서 조직은 더욱 밀착되고 구성 세포들은 찌그러져 기근 조직의 대부분 부위에서 세포사멸이 일어났다. 이와 같이 기근 조직의 기능적 단계에 따라 EDS의 급격한 변화가 나타났는데, 이는 아마 기근이 흡착면에 부착할 때 EDS가 착생과 연관된 기능을 수행하는 것과 관련이 있을 것으로 추정되고 있다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding glucose (G), sorbic acid (S), pre-fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLB) and their combinations on the fermentation qualities and residual mono-and di-saccharides compositions of guineagrass silage. The additives used in this experiment were 1% glucose, 0.1% sorbic acid and FJLB at a theoretical application rate of 9.0${\times}$105 CFU $g^{-1}$ on the fresh weight basis of guineagrass, respectively. There was a total of eight treatments in this experiment: (1) C (without additives), (2) FJLB, (3) S, (4) G, (5) FJLB+S, (6) FJLB+G, (7) S+G, (8) FJLB+S+G. After 30 days of storage, the silos were opened for chemical analyses. Based on the results, all additives were efficient in improving the fermentation quality of guineagrass silage. This was well indicated by significantly (p<0.05) lower pH and BA content and significantly (p<0.05) higher LA content in the treated silages except for the FJLB than in the C. However, there was only a slight increase in LA for the FJLB as compared with the C, which might be due to the low WSC content of the original guineagrass (34.4 g $kg^{-1}$). When the FJLB+S and FJLB+G were added, there were significant (p<0.05) decreases in pH and significant (p<0.05) increases in LA as compared with the FJLB alone. This indicated that the G, S and FJLB were of synergestic effects on the silage fermentation quality. The G combination treatments including the G alone showed large improvements in the fermentation quality as compared with the treatments without the G. This suggested that adding fermentable substrates (G) to plant materials such as guineagrass, which contain low WSC, intermediate population of epiphytic LAB, CP and DM content, is more important and efficient for improving the fermentation quality of silages than adding a number of species of domestic LAB (FJLB) and aerobic bacteria inhibitor (S).

본 연구는 2017년 4월 춘계 제주 연안에서 총 7개의 정점(협재, 이호테우, 함덕, 성산, 표선, 남원, 사계)을 선정하여 해조류에 부착하여 서식하는 유독 착생 와편모류 Ostreopsis의 출현양상을 조사하고 분자계통학적 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구 해역의 표층 수온은 $15.7^{\circ}C-18.3^{\circ}C$의 범위를 보였으며, 염분은 33.4-34.9의 범위로 나타났다. 각 연구 정점에서 채집된 전체 13종의 해조류 가운데 8종에서 Ostreopsis가 출현하였으며, 정점 6에서 출현한 홍조식물 참지누아리(Grateloupia filicina)에서 해조류 단위 무게당 Ostreopsis의 출현밀도($cells\;g^{-1}$)가 $157.5cells\;g^{-1}$로 가장 높은 농도로 출현하였다. Ostreopsis가 출현한 4개의 연구정점에서 분리한 종주들의 LSU rDNA D8/D10 영역의 염기서열은 모두 100% 동일한 것으로 나타났다. LSU rDNA 염기서열 정보를 이용한 분자계통수에서 이들은 모두 Ostreopsis cf. ovata의 잠재종(cryptic species)으로 알려진 Ostreopsis sp. 1의 분기군에 속하는 것으로 나타났다. Ostreopsis sp.1 종주를 이용하여 수온과 염분에 따른 생장 반응을 측정한 결과, $10-30^{\circ}C$의 광범위한 수온과 20-35의 염분 범위에서 뚜렷한 생장을 나타내었고, 수온 $25^{\circ}C$와 염분 30에서 $0.49d^{-1}$의 최고 생장률을 나타내었다. 또한, 수온 $10^{\circ}C$의 저온에서도 염분 35에서 뚜렷한 생장을 보여, 이들은 온대 해역에서 적응하여 정착한 종으로 판단된다.

Chlorophyll (Chi) d was assigned to an antenna pigment of red algae in 1943, but its presence and function in red algae have not been necessarily clear for a long time. In 1996, it was shown that Chi d functioned as a major antenna pigment in a peculiar oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryote, Acaryochloris marina, isolated as a symbiont of a colonial ascidian from coral reefs. This finding evoked the necessity for reexamination of the presence and function of Chi d in red algae. We found Chi d in methanol-extract from several marine red algae, and the relative content was high in one species, Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis. Absorption and fluorescence spectra, HPLC analysis, and NMR and mass spectroscopy characterized Chi d extracted from the red algal thalli, and those were essentially identical to those of Chi d isolated from A. marina. However, micro-spectrophotometric analysis suggested that Chi d was not an actual constituent of the red algae but came from epiphyte(s) attached to surface of red algal thalli.

Seasonal monitoring was implemented to understand the influence of macrophyte bed structure on the composition and trophic interaction of aquatic organisms (algae, zooplankton, macro-invertebrate, and fish) in a shallow wetland (Upo Wetland, South Korea). Distinct division of the plant assemblage (reed zone and mixed plant zone) was observed. The reed zone was composed solely of Phragmites communis, whereas the mixed plant zone comprised a diverse macrophyte assemblage (Salvinia natans, Spirodela polyrhiza, Trapa japonica, Ceratophyllum demersum, and Hydrilla verticillata). Most of the aquatic organisms were more abundant in the mixed plant zone than in the reed zone, and this was positively associated with the seasonal development of macrophyte cover. Stable isotope analysis showed seasonal interactions among aquatic organisms. The majority of aquatic animal (zooplankton, Odonata, and Ephemeroptera) were dependent on epiphytic particulate organic matter (EPOM), and the dependence on EPOM gradually increased toward autumn. Interestingly, Lepomis macrochirus consumed Ephemeroptera and zooplankton in both macrophyte zones, but Micropterus salmoides depended on different food items in the reed zone and the mixed plant zone. Although, M. salmoides in the reed zone showed food utilization similar to L. macrochirus, it consumed Odonata or small L. macrochirus in the mixed plant zone. Based on these results, it appears that differences in the structure of the two macrophyte zones support different assemblages of aquatic organisms, strongly influencing the trophic interactions between the aquatic organisms.

The three biochemical constituents pointed out as the bioactive principles of anticancer activity of Korean mistletoes, Viscum album var. colorantum, epiphyting to different host trees, different region, and different growth environments were compared. The characterizing compounds were lectin, which was glycoprotein reported has anticancer activity, homoflavoyadorinin-B, which was flavonoid glycoside reported as an antioxidant and oleanolic acid, as an anticancerous triterpenoid. We established the analysis methods for three characterizing compounds and determined by HPLC spectrophotometer, respectively. The average content of the lectin in V. album was 1.75 mg/g of dried plants and those of homoflavoyadorinin-B and oleanolic acid were 3.51 and 5.37 mg/g, respectively. The variations of contents of the three characterizing compounds according to epiphytic trees and growth region were observed but not found statistical significance clearly. We came to the conclusion that the contents of bioactive constituents of V. album except homoflavoyadorinin-B are not affected by epiphyting trees or growth environments.
