  • Gul (oyster) jeotgals (GJs) were prepared using different types of salt (23%, w/v): purified salt, solar salt aged for 3 years, and bamboo salt crystalized 3 times. One set of GJs was fermented with Bacillus subtilis JS2 ($10^6CFU/g$), while the other GJ set was fermented without starter. During fermentation for 24 weeks at $15^{\circ}C$, the starter GJs showed 10-fold higher bacilli counts than the no-starter GJs, where the maximum bacilli count was $8{\times}10^3CFU/g$. All 28 bacilli strains isolated from the 6-week GJs were identified as B. subtilis by using a RAPD-PCR, indicating that some of the B. subtilis JS2 cells remained viable. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts were present at low levels, $10^1-10^2CFU/g$. LAB with protease activities isolated from 10-week samples were identified as Enterococcus species. The isolates obtained at 16 weeks were all Staphylococcus species. The GJs with bamboo salt showed higher pH and lower titratable acidity (TA) values than the other GJs due to the strong alkalinity of bamboo salt. The amino-type nitrogen in the GJs increased slowly during the fermentation. At 24 weeks, the GJs with purified salt showed the highest amino-type nitrogen (412-430 mg%), followed by the GJs with solar salt (397-406 mg%) and GJs with bamboo salt (264-276 mg%). Meanwhile, the GJs with bamboo salt showed the highest ammonia-type N (63.67 mg%), followed by the GJs with purified salt (49 mg%) and solar salt (48 mg%).

  • Biomass and soil properties of plant communites was investigated in the limestone ares, Tanyang, Ch'ungbuk Province in Korea. Plants was classified in calcicoles and calcifuges within plant communities occurring in the limestone area. Biomass of plant populatins in the limestone area was measured that Stellaria aquatica was the lowest(0.58g/plant), Chrysanthemum boreale was the highest(8.87g/plant) and that Pennisetum alopecuroides, Miscanthus sinensis was 6.67g/plant, 5.76g/plant, respectively. Diameter of breast height among the tree layer communities was investigated that Pinus densiflora was the widest(20cm), Juniperus rigida was the narrowest(6cm) and that Quercus aliena, Populus ${\times}$ tomentiglandulosa was 10cm, 12cm, respectively. The high of density in the tree layer was found out Populus ${\times}$ tomentiglandulosa, Juniperus rigida, Quercus aliena, Pinus densiflora in this order. Dominant species in the study area were Pinus densiflora, Quercus aliena, Juniperus rigida, Quercus dentata in the tree layer, Lespedeza bicolor, Buxus microphylla, Rhus chinensis in the shrub layer, Humulus Japonicus, Erigeron canadensis, Xanthium strumarium, Oenothera odorata Persicaria hypropiper on the riverside, Pennisetum alopecuroides, Vicia amoena, Chrysanthemum boreale on the roadside. Soil properties of the limestone area was investigated around the protrusion of rock in the upper region, around the cave and underlayer accumulated by corrosion in the study area. Lime-chlorosis was observed in the upper region, underlayer and around the cave. It was observed that biota of kum-gul and dungbong-gul was Rhinolophus ferrumequinum korai, Epanerchodus kimi, Antrokoreana gracilipes, Diestrammena japonical. Dominant species were Humulus japonicus, Stellaria aquatica, Hydrocotyle maritima, Phragmites communis, Miscanthus sinensis around the inlet of a kum-gul. It was classified that plants in the study area was 34 order, 53 family, 135 species in all. Calcicoles were 11 order, 16 family, 18 species and calcufuges were 6 order, 8 family, 11 species of them all.

Reexamination of plant names in the literature published during the Japanese Imperialism Period with special reference to Hwangjeong and Wiyu (일제 강점기 문헌에 나오는 식물명의 재검토: 황정(黃精)과 위유(萎蕤)를 중심으로)

  • The plant names Hwangjeong and Wiyu were written in Chinese characters in Hyang-yak-jib-seong-bang during the early Chosen dynasty. However, soon after, Hwangjeong and Wiyu were written in Korean characters as Jukdae and Dung-gul-re, respectively. However, since under the Japanese imperialist period in Korea, the taxonomic identities of these two Korean names have been incorrectly understood, with scientific names incorrectly assigned as well to these two names thus far. The results of the present study prove that Hwangjeong is Polygonatum sibiricum and that its Korean name should be Jukdae, its initial Korean name, and not Cheung-cheung-gal-go-ri-dung-gul-re, as used recently. Meanwhile, during the Japanese imperialist period, Wiyu was termed P. officinale or P. japonicum with the Korean name of Dung-gul-re. However, the correct scientific names were shown to be synonyms of P. odoratum.

  • The water quality of Gul-po Stream, the subject of this study, has been deteriorating because of the inflow of domestic sewage and the industrial wastewater due to industrialization and the problems relating to the structure of river including slow flow rate and the covering of river. In particular, the domestic sewage from small-medium sized factories by the river and large-scale industrial complex by the upper and middle streams of the river, and the domestic sewage from increasing population due to the regional development are the main pollution sources. Thus, this study aims to survey the water quality and the sediment affecting Gul-po Stream; monitor the state of pollution in water body; assess the yield of sediment and investigate the water quality of river and the problems arising from sediment; and then suggest reasonable ways to improve the situation. The findings from surveying pollution load shows the discharge increases up to average 72.8 times from the upper stream to the downstream of Gul-po Stream, and pollution load increases up to: SS 111 times, BOD 150 times, COD 145 times, the nutrient T-N 222 times and T-P 312 times on an average basis. As for the pollution concentration range, ignition loss is 1.29~12.43%; COD is 4,015~37,547 kg/day; T-N and T-P 94.8~352.5 kg/day and 81.8~372.3 kg/day, respectively. As for the releasing rate of sediment, T-N is -14.46~$156.61mg/m^2/day$; T-P is -11.53~$26.10mg/m^2/day$, indicating the likelihood of internal contamination due to the elution of sediment. This study is expected to be used as basic data to manage Gul-po Stream basin.
