Panicle blight and seed rot disease caused mainly by Burkholderia glumae and Burkholderia gladioli is threatening rice cultivation worldwide. The bacteria have been reported as seed-borne pathogens from rice. Accurate detection of both pathogens on the seeds is very important for limiting the disease dissemination. Novel primer pairs targeting specific molecular markers were developed for the robust detection of B. glumae and B. gladioli. The designed primers were specific in detecting the target species with no apparent cross-reactions with other related Burkholderia species at the expected product size. Both primer pairs displayed a high degree of sensitivity for detection of B. glumae and B. gladioli separately in monoplex PCR or simultaneously in duplex PCR from both extracted gDNA and directly preheated bacterial cell suspensions. Limit of detection was as low as 0.1 ng of gDNA of both species and $3.86{\times}10^2cells$ for B. glumae and $5.85{\times}10^2cells$ for B. gladioli. On inoculated rice seeds, the designed primers could separately or simultaneously detect B. glumae and B. gladioli with a detection limit as low as $1.86{\times}10^3cells$ per rice seed for B. glumae and $1.04{\times}10^4cells$ per rice seed of B. gladioli. The novel primers maybe valuable as a more sensitive, specific, and robust tool for the efficient simultaneous detection of B. glumae and B. gladioli on rice seeds, which is important in combating rice panicle blight and seed rot by early detection and confirmation of the dissemination of pathogen-free rice seeds.

Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 are the major serotypes associated with illness, and some V. cholera non-O1 and non-O139 isolates produce cholera toxin. The present study describes a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for the species-specific detection and quantitation of V. cholera using a primer pair based on an outer membrane lipoprotein lolB gene for the amplification of a 195 bp DNA fragment. The qPCR primer set for the accurate diagnosis of V. cholera was developed from publically available genome sequences. This quantitative PCR-based method will potentially simplify and facilitate the diagnosis of this pathogen and guide disease management.

A sensitive reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) method to detect viable Escherichia coli O157:H7 in milk was established. The primer sets were designed based on the nucleotide sequences of the rfbE (per) and wbdN genes in the O157 antigen gene cluster of E. coli O157:H7. RT-PCR using five different primer sets yielded DNA with sizes of 655, 518, 450, and 149-bp, respectively. All five of the E. coli O157:H7 strains were detected by RT-PCR, but 11 other bacterial species were not. The sensitivity of RT-PCR was improved by adding yeast tRNA as a carrier to the crude RNA extract. The RT-PCR amplifying the 149-bp DNA fragment was the most sensitive for detecting E. coli O157:H7 and the most refractory to the bactericidal treatments. Heat treatment at $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min was the least inhibitory of all bactericidal treatments. Treatment with RNase A strongly inhibited the RT-PCR of heated milk but not unheated milk. This study described RT-PCR methods that are specific and sensitive with a detection limit of 10 E. coli O157:H7 cells, and showed that pre-treating milk samples with RNase A improved the specificity to detect viable bacteria by RT-PCR.

Trichoderma is known as pathogen caused serious green mold disease on commercial production. T. pleuroti and T. pleuroticola were common species in various mushroom media. Many strains of T. pleuroti, known as aggressive species causing major economic losses in Korea, showed benomyl resistance. Accurate identification and detection of Trichoderma species associated with oyster mushrooms is very important for disease control. We developed species-specific primers for T. pleuroticola, T. pleuroti, T. harzianum, and T. atroviride based on species-specific fragments isolated from amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis. PCR products corresponding to the predicted fragment of 500bp, 230bp, 180bp, and 410bp were amplified from T. pleuroticola, T. pleuroti, T. harzianum, and T. atroviride, respectively. Multiplex PCR assay using species-specific primers quickly and accurately identified and detected T. pleuroti from mushroom media in which various species co-exist. Our results can be useful for the effective control of mushroom disease.

Analysis of phylogenetic relationship was performed among Phellinus species based on 18S ribosomal subunit sequence data. Twenty-five strains of 19 Phellinus species including P. linteus were examined in this study. Regions of 18S ribosomal subunit were very conserved, but some variable regions between Phellinus species were observed. The species-specific detection primers, modified by 2 or 3 nucleotides in sense primer were designed based on 18S ribosomal DNA(rDNA) sequence data. The 210 by PCR bands were detected with annealing temperature $48^{\circ}C$. The 18S 2F-18S 4R detection primer set distinguished P. linteus from various Phellinus species but some species like P. baumii, P. weirianius, P. rhabarberinus and P. pomaceus also had weak reactivity on this primer set. The 18S 3F-18S 4R primer set distinguished only P. linteus from various Phellinus species, although sensitivity with this primer set was lower than that of 18S 2F-18 4R primer set. These primer sets would be useful for the detection of only P. linteus among unknown Phellinus species rapidly.

The aim of this study was to investigate adulteration of caprine milk products by bovine milk using biomolecular techniques with bovine-specific primers for the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR assays were applied to caprine milk products including infant formula, city milk, and fermented milk. The results indicated that six out of the eight caprine infant formula products tested contained bovine milk components. In addition, two of the three tested caprine city milk products and two caprine fermented milk products were shown to be adulterated with bovine milk. Conventional PCR results corroborated with results obtained by real-time PCR. This study demonstrates that DNA-based species identification procedures would be useful and applicable in routine examinations of the dairy industry to ensure the quality and safety of dairy foods.

This study was undertaken to develop PCR primers for the simultaneous detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, using two species-specific reverse primers in combination with a single conserved forward primer. These primers target the variable and conserved regions of the 16S rDNA. The primer specificity was tested against (i) four F. nucleatum and three A. actinomycetemcomitans strains and (ii) seven representatives of the different species of oral bacteria. The primer sensitivity was determined by testing serial dilutions of the purified genomic DNA of F. nucleatum and A. actinomycetemcomitans. The data indicate that species-specific amplicons could be obtained for all the F. nucleatum and A. actinomycetemcomitans strains tested, which were not found in the seven other species. The multiplex PCR could detect as little as 4 fg of chromosomal DNA of F. nucleatum and A. actinomycetemcomitans simultaneously. These findings suggest that these PCR primers are highly sensitive and are suitable for applications in epidemiological studies, diagnosis, and monitoring F. nucleatum and A. actinomycetemcomitans after the treatment of periodontitis.

한국의 예산과 당진에서 각각 채취된 붕어 (Carassius auratus)와 떡붕어 (Carassius cuvieri)로부터 genomic DNA를 분리 추출하여 반복해서 PCR로 증폭시켰다. 선택된 7개의 RAPD primer를 이용하여 primer 당 total loci, shared loci by each species, polymorphic 및 specific loci를 얻어냈다. 2종의 붕어로부터 primer와 2지역간에 banding patterns의 복잡성이 두드러지게 나타났다. DNA fragment의 분자적 크기는 150bp에서부터 1,600bp까지 커다란 차이를 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 CCY 붕어 종에서는 458개의 loci가 나타났고, CCD 떡붕어 종에서는 358개의 loci가 확인되었다. 또한 CCY 붕어 종에서는 84개의 polymorphic loci (18.3%)가 확인되었고, CCD떡붕어 종에서는 48개의 polymorphic loci (13.4%)가 확인되었다. CCY 붕어 종에서는 154개의 shared loci가 나타났으며, 이는 primer당 평균적으로 22개의 loci로 확인되었다. 또한 CCD떡붕어 종에서는 187개의 shared loci가 확인되었고, 평균해서 primer 당 26.7개의 loci가 나타났다. CCY붕어 종과 CCD 떡붕어 종의 polymorphic loci는 각각 84개와 48개로 확인되었다. 모든 붕어와 떡붕어 시료의 평균적인 BS value를 기초로 해서 CCY 붕어 종의 similarity matrix를 조사해 본 결과 0.434로부터 0.868까지 나타났고, CCD 떡붕어 종의 값은 0.449로부터 0.924까지 확인되었다. CCY 붕어 종내의 평균적인 BS value는 0.641±0.013이고, CCD 떡붕어 종내의 BS value의 평균값은 0.684±0.013을 나타내었다. 결과적으로 CCD 떡붕어 종내의 개체의 BS value 평균값이 CCY 붕어 종내의 평균값보다 높게 나타났다. 2 붕어와 떡붕어간의 평균적인 BS value은 0.484±0.007 (0.307～0.682)를 나타내었다. 7개의 primer를 사용하여 얻어진 dendrogram은 cluster 1 (AURATUS no. 01～AURATUS no. 11), cluster 2 (CUVIERI no. 12～CUVIERI no. 21) 및cluster 3 (CUVIERI no. 22)와 같이 3개의 유전적 클러스터로 나뉘어졌다. CCY 붕어 종내의 8번째 개체 (AURATUS no. 08)와 9번째 개체 (AURATUS no. 09) 사이가 가장 가까운 유전적 관계 (0.064)를 나타내었다. 또한 CCY붕어 종의 11번째(AURATUS no. 11)와 CCD떡붕어 종의 17번째 (CUVIERI no. 17) 사이가 가장 먼 유전적 거리 (0.477)를 나타내었다. 결과적으로 볼 때 한국 및 대서양산 lobster (0.612), 갈치 (0.708), 동자개(0.714)에 비해서 상대적으로 낮은 유전적 거리를 나타내었다.
