'JaGuiNaMu' is one of the Korean crude drugs used mainly to cure neuralgia, bone fracture, jaundice, and headache. With regard to the botanical origin of 'JaGuiNaMu', it has been considered to be Albizzia species of Leguminosae, but there was no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of 'JaGuiNaMu', the anatomical characteristics of the branch of Albizzia species growing wild in Korea, A. julibrissin and A. coreana were studied. As a result, it was clarified that 'JaGuiNaMu' was the branch of Albizzia julibrissin.

The isolated strain, Rhodococcus sp. EL-GT was able to degrade high phenol concentrations up to 10 mM within 24 hours in the medium consisting of 5.3 mM $KH_2PO_4$. 95 mM $Na_2HPO_4$, 18mM $NH_4NO_3$, 1 mM $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$,\;50{\mu}M CaCl_2$,\;0.5 {\mu}M FeCl_3$, initial pH 8.0, temperature $30^{\circ}C$ in rotary shaker at 200 rpm. This strain was good cell growth and phenol degradation in the alkaline pH range range, and the highest in the pH range of 7 to 9. The microorganism was able to grow at the various chlorinated phenols, benzene, toluene, and bunker-C oil. As Rhodococcus sp. EL-GT was good capable of attachment on the acryl media, it would be used as microorganism to consist of biofilm in wastewater treatment.
