Ethanol treatment method was attempted for the selective isolation of ethanol-tolerant fungi from two sites of rice paddy fields around Seoul area. The vertical and seasonal fluctuation of the fungal population were also investigated. The ethanol-tolerant fungi were Talaromyces stipitatus, T. flavus var. flavus, T. helicus var. major, Eupenicillium javanicum, Emericellopsis terricolor, Pseudourotium zonatum, Aspergillus flavus, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Penicillium frequentans, P. janthinellum, and P. verruculosum. The most dominant species isolated by this method was T. stipitatus. It was found that the numbers of fungal species and colony forming units(CFUs) of ethanol-tolerant fungi were higher in Ascomycota than in Deuteromycota. A particular tendency appeared the highest CFUs in autumn, but lower in spring and winter. T. stipitatus was the dominant species of ethanol tolerant microfungi. This result would suggest that membrane lipid composition of ethanol-tolerant fungi isolated from the soils may play on important role in the ethanol tolerance.

Fungal endophytes are microfungi that live in plants without causing apparent symptoms of infection. This study was conducted to identify endophytic fungi isolated from leaves of coniferous trees in Bohyeon Mountain of Korea. We collected leaves of two species of coniferous trees, Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis, from 11 sites in the study area. A total 58 isolates were obtained and identified using molecular and morphological characteristics. Four species of endophytic fungi were isolated from P. densiflora: Lophodermium conigenum, Leotiomycetes sp., Septoria pini-thunbergii, and Polyporales sp., while two fungal species were isolated from P. koraiensis: Eurotiomycetes sp. and Rhytismataceae sp. The most frequently isolated species were L. conigenum and S. pini-thunbergii.

Two fungal strains (KNU-JJ-1827 and KNU-JJ-1829) belonging to the class Dothideomycetes were discovered from Jeju Island, Korea during this investigation of soil microfungi. Strain KNU-JJ-1827 showed fewer conidial septations, larger conidiogenous cells, and smaller conidia compared to the previously identified closest species of Didymocyrtis. Strain KNU-JJ-1829 revealed the similar characteristics of the nearest certain species of the genus Parathyridaria with the production of conidiogenous cells and conidia, because no asexual morphs were detected from the closest type strain Parathyridaria rosae. The novelty of the strains was also confirmed by analyzing molecular data using internal transcribed spacer regions and 28S rDNA. The molecular phylogeny also strongly support the detailed description and illustration for each proposed species as Didymocyrtis septata sp. nov. (KNU-JJ-1827) and Parathyridaria ellipsoidea sp. nov. (KNU-JJ-1829) isolated from soil in Korea.

Two fungal strains belonging to Ascomycota were discovered in Gyeonggi-do, Korea, during this investigation of soil microfungi and microbiota of insects. The strain KNUF-20-047 produced milky white on the back and a milky creamy center to white toward the margin on the front side of colonies. Conversely, the closest Xenoacremonium falcatus displayed a pale luteous to luteous center, white toward margins on the front side, and pale luteous or luteous pigment on the back side, whereas X. recifei produced white colonies. The conidiophores of KNUF-20-047 were slightly larger than those of X. falcatus, and the conidia were distinct from X. recifei. Strain KNUF-20-NI-005 produced light brown to subhyaline conidiophores up to 56.0 lm tall, whereas Rhinocladiella anceps displayed golden to dark brown conidiophores up to 350 lm. Strain KNUF-20-NI-005 also produced larger conidia than R. anceps but smaller than R. coryli and R. fasciculata. Moreover, the molecular phylogeny strongly supports the detailed description and illustration of each proposed species to be designated as Xenoacremonium minutisporum sp. nov. and Rhinocladiella terrigenum sp. nov. in Korea.

Tricholoma matsutake has been the most valuable ectomycorrhizal fungi in Asia because of its unique flavor and taste. However, due to the difficulty of artificial cultivation, the cultivation of T. matsutake has relied on natural growth in forests. To cultivate the T. matsutake artificially, microorganisms in fairy rings were introduced. In this study, we isolated 30 fungal species of microfungi from the soil of fairy rings. Among them, one single fungal strain showed a promoting effect on the growth of T. matsutake. The growth effect was confirmed by measuring the growth area of T. matsutake and enzyme activities including a-amylase, cellulase, and b-glucosidase. In comparison with control, microfungal metabolite increased the growth area of T. matsutake by 213% and the enzyme activity of T. matsutake by 110-200%. The isolated fungal strain was identified as Penicillium citreonigrum by BLAST on the NCBI database. The Discovery of this microfungal strain is expected to contribute to artificial cultivation of T. matsutake.

The fungal strain belonging to the genus Monochaetia of the family Sporocadaceae was isolated from hairy long-horned toad beetle (Moechotypa diphysis) during the screening of microfungi associated with insects from Gangwon Province, Korea. The strain KNUF-6L2F produced white, light brown to dirty black surface, and olivaceous green colonies with the higher growth, while the closest strain M. ilicis KUMCC 15-0520^T were light brown to brown, and M. schimae SAUCC 212201^T light brown to brown toward center. The strain KNUF-6L2F produced shorter (5.7-14.0 ㎛) apical appendages than M. ilicis (6.0-24.0 ㎛), but similar to M. schimae (7.0-12.5 ㎛). Three median cells of KNUF-6L2F were light brown to olivaceous green, whereas brown and olivaceous cells were observed from M. ilicis and M. schimae, respectively. And the strain KNUF-6L2F produced larger conidiogenous cells than M. ilicis and M. schimae. Additionally, phylogenetic analyses based on molecular datasets of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1α), and β-tubulin (TUB2) genes corroborated the strain's originality. Thus, the strain is different from other known Monochaetia species, according to molecular phylogeny and morophology, hence we suggested the new species Monochaetia mediana sp. nov. and provided a descriptive illustration.

A,B지역(地域) 죽림(竹林)에서 $D^2H$, $w_s,\;w_b$, 및 $w_l$ 상대생장식(相對生長式)을 유도(誘導)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. A지역(地域) $logw_s=0.5262\;logD^2H+1.9546$ $logw_b=0.6288\;logD^2H+1.5723$ $logw_l=0.5181\;logD^2H+1.8732$ B지역(地域) $logw_s=0.5433\;logD^2H+1.8610$ $logw_b=0.1630\;logD^2H+2.3475$ $logw_l=0.4509\;logD^2H+2.0041$ 상기(上記)한 식(式)을 적용(適用)하여 10a당 현존량(現存量)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果) A지역(地域) $w_s=1128.83kg,\;w_b=689.05kg,\;w_l=926.69kg$ 으로 $w_e=2744.57kg$이었고, B지역(地域) $w_s=1206.66kg,\;w_b=679.92kg,\;w_l=1112.51kg$으로 $w_t=2999kg$이였다. 따라서 A,B양지역간(兩地域間)에 있어서 $D^2H,\;w_s,\;w_b$, 및 $w_l$의 현존량(現存量)을 비교한 결과(結果)(t-test), $D^2H,\;w_s,\;w_b,\;w_l$에서는 유의차(有意差)가 인정되었으나 $w_b$는 유의차(有意差)가 없었다. 토양생(土壤生) 미세균류(微細菌類)를 조사(調査)한 결과(結果) 158균주(菌株)를 분리(分離)하고 55종(種)을 동정(同定)하였다. 그 중 A지역(地域) 50종(種), B지역(地域) 55종(種)으로 양지역(兩地域)의 우점종(優占種)들은 다음과 같다. Trichoderma viride, Penicillium janthinellum, P. commune, Aspergillus oryzae, A. niger, A. gigantus, A. fumigatus, Mortierella ramaniana, var. anguliFPora, Mucor hiemalis와 Zygorhynchus moelleri. 이상(以上)의 결과(結果)에 의(依)하면 토성(土性)이 좋고 토양양료(土壤養料) 및 토양생(土壤生) 미세균류(微細菌類)의 증가(增加) 그리고 생육기간(生育期間)의 온도(溫度)가 왕대나무의 생장(生長)이나 임상식물(林床植物)의 종(種)과 양(量)을 증가(增加)시킨 것으로 나타났고 왕대나무의 현존량(現存量)과 환경요인(環境要因)과의 상관관계(相關關係)는 이들의 모든 요인(要因)이 상호연관(相互連關)을 갖고 복잡(複雜)하게 작용(作用)한 것으로 보며 더욱 죽림밀도(竹林密度)가 중용(重要)한 인자(因子)로 작용(作用)한 것같다.
