  • The wetland is very important ecologically as a habitat of diverse organisms. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the morphogenetic environment of Jilmoe Bog found in the Odae Mountain National Park Jilmoe Bog is located in the high etchplain(1,060m) where Daebo Granite which had intruded in Jura epoch of Mesozoic era has weathered deeply and has uplifted in the Tertiary. The annual mean temperature of study area is $5.3^{\circ}C$, the annual precipitation is 2,888mm. The minimun temperature of the coldest month(january) is below $-30^{\circ}C$ and the depth of frozen soil is over 1.6m. Jilmoe bog consists of a large bog and a small bog. The length of the large bog is 63m and its width is 42m. The basal surface of Jilmoe bog is uneven. Jilmoe bog is a string bog fanned due to frost actions. In String bog, its surface is wavy with stepped dry hills and net-like troughs crossing hill slope. It seems that string bog is related to the permofrost or seasonal permofrost of cold conifer forest(taiga) zone(where the depth of frozen soil is very deep in the least in winters). String bog is a kind of thermokarst that frozen soil thaws differentially locally in declining permofrost and ground surface becomes irregular. There is turf-banked terracette of width $30{\sim}40cm$ in the headwall of small cirque-type nivation hollow formed at footslope of Maebong mountain around Jilmoe bog. This turf-banked terracette is formed by the frost growth of soil water below grass mat in periglacial climate environment. Where water is plentiful such as a nivation follow${\sim}$valley corridor and a headwall of valley, turf patterned grounds of width $30{\sim}50cm$ are found. This turf patterned ground is 'unclassified patterned ground', earth hummock. In conclusion, Jilmoe bog is a string bog of thermokarst that the relief of ground surface is irregular according to locally differentially thawing of permofrost(frozen soil). Jilmoe bog is high moor, its surroundings belongs to periglacial environment that turf-banked terracette and turf patterned ground are fanned actively.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether wetland has antimicrobial activity on pathogenic bacteria in the toilet bowl. Research design, data and methodology: Air-dried mud obtained from "Jilmoe Bog" wetland was packed and dissolved in the autoclaved saline. Antimicrobial susceptibility was assessed against three Gram-negative bacteria using disk diffusion method and broth dilution method. Identification of specific bacterium presented in wetland supernatant was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Results: Incubation of three Gram-negative bacteria with wetland supernatant inhibited bacterial growth of the bacteria, otherwise increased prevalence of specific bacterium. It was confirmed that Pseudomonas putida was presented in wetland supernatant. Conclusions: The results presented in this study might provide the possibility to utilize wetland supernatant as a bioremediation of toilet bowl bacteria.
