The biodegradation of high concentration of benzoate by enrichment culture with Pseudomonas sp. was investigated. During 50 days continuous culture, average of removal rate of benzoate and COD were 90% and 83%, respectively. And the enzymatic activity of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase was determined in the continuous culture but not Catechol 1,2-dioxygenase. On the other hand, Pseudomonas sp in the culture was investigated with SEM and the result was revealed that the cell shape was more demage according concentration of benzoate.

This study was conducted to investigate the species of native parasitoids attacking Phyllocnistis citrella and their parasitism in citrus orchards in Jeju, Korea. During the survey period from 2013 to 2014, seven parasitoids belonging to Chalcidoidea were found: majority of the parasitoids were Sympiesis striatipes with 73% and Quadrastichus sp. with 22% in Eulophidae. The others were Neochrysocharis sp., Pnigalio sp., Holcopelte sp., Ageniaspis sp. (Encyrtidae) and Trichomalopsis sp. (Pteromalidae). Average parasitism rate reached 10.7% in orchards with spraying insecticide, and 32.2% in environmental-friendly managed orchards.

Penicillium sp. PS-113 $5.0{\times}105cfu/ml$ 단독처리와 Penicillium sp. PS-113 $5.0{\times}105cfu/ml$ + Lactobacillus sp. $6{\times}106cfu/ml$의 동시 처리구도 오이의 평균 무게와 길이에 있어 무처리구보다 약간씩 더 높았다. Penicillium sp. PS-113 $5.0{\times}105cfu/ml$ + Lactobacillus sp. $6{\times}106cfu/ml$의 동시처리구는 무처리에 비하여 오이의 수가 2개 적었으나 오이 전체 생산량은 무처리구에 비하여 Penicillium sp. PS-113 $5.0{\times}105cfu/ml$ 단독 처리구에서 53.7%, Penicillium sp. PS-113 $5.0{\times}104cfu/ml$ + Lactobacillus sp. $6{\times}106cfu/ml$ 동시 처리구에서 48.5% 증가되었다. 따라서 인산가용화균의 처리가 오이의 생산성을 증대시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Moderately halophilic bacteria were collected from solar salt with Larsen medium containing $10\%$ NaCl. A total of 56 strains were isolated and tested for the presence of plasmid DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis. Twelve isolates ($21\%$) carried at least one kind of plasmid. Six different isolates among them were selected to study the molecular weight of plasmids and the morphological and physiological characters. Vibrio sp. 14, Alcaligenes sp. 63, Pseudomonas sp. 11, Flavobacterium sp. 38, Bacillus sp. 16, and Alcaligenes sp. 52 carried at least one plasmid of about 7.2 kbp, 6.4 kbp, 6.85 kbp, 8.5 kbp, 8.75 kbp, and 6.8 kbp respectively.

$H_2$ production by Chromatium sp., a large purple sulfur bacterium blooming in lake Kaiike, under various environmental conditions was examined. Chromatium sp. produced $H_2$ only in the presence of light and $H_2$. Maximum $H_2$ production ($0.01\;{\mu}mol/hr/(mg\;dry\;cell\;weight)$) was obtained in the solution of 20 mg $H_2S-S/l$ under low light intensity (1000 lux) at $30^{\circ}C$. $H_2$ production was severely inhibited by the presence of $N_2\;or\;NH_4^+$. The rate observed for Chromatium sp. was relatively low compared to that of other phototrophic bacteria. Chromatium sp. is probably a most potent Ha producing species in lake Kaiike, since the bacterium readily produced $H_2$ photoautotrophically even at low light intensities by the application of suboptimal $H_2$ concentrations. Based on the photoautotrophic characteristics of bacterial $H_2$ production, it is suggested that Chromatium sp. can be an economic and practical species for biological $H_2$ production system, particularly in temperate region.

Recently, United States Geological Survey (USGS) distributed Landsat 8 Collection 2 Level 2 Science Product (L2SP). This paper aims to derive land surface temperature from L2SP and to validate it. Validation is made by comparing the land surface temperature with the one calculated from Landsat 8 Collection 1 Level 1 Terrain Precision (L1TP) and the one from Automated Synoptic Observing System (ASOS). L2SP is calculated from Landsat 8 Collection 2 Level 1 data and it provides land surface temperature to users without processing surface reflectance data. Landsat 8 data from 2018 to 2020 is collected and ground sensor data from eight sites of ASOS are used to evaluate L2SP land surface temperature data. To compare ground sensor data with remotely sensed data, 3×3 grid area data near ASOS station is used. As a result of analysis with ASOS data, L2SP and L1TP land surface temperature shows Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.971 and 0.964, respectively. RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of two results with ASOS data is 4.029℃, 5.247℃ respectively. This result suggests that L2SP data is more adequate to acquire land surface temperature than L1TP. If seasonal difference and geometric features such as slope are considered, the result would improve.

The author isolated high cellulolytic fungi from natural sources and determined optimal condition of protoplast formation and fusion as fundamental step for improvement of the isolated it's cellulolytic ability. Three different cellulolytic fungi, such as Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp. and Trichoderma sp., were isolated from soil. Their cellulolytic activities were compared with that of Aspergillus niger which was useful industrially and had cellulase activity. It was Aspergillus sp. that showed the highest activity of all these four fungi. And then it was followed by Penicillium sp., Trichoderma sp., and Aspergillus niger in order. An auxotrophic mutant of Aspergillus sp. was obtained by UV mutagenesis method. Having try to produce protoplast from mycelia, the author found that ${\beta}-glucuronidase$, at pH 6.0, was effective cell-wall lytic enzyme. And the optimal concentration of this enzyme was 5,000 unit/ml. Regeneration rates of wild type, met. auxotroph and arg. auxotroph, in presence of osmotic stabilizer, were 7. 0%, 7. 5% and 5.2%, respectively. PEG with M.W. 6,000 was effective stimulator for protoplast fusion in the concentration of 30% (W IV). In such a condition, we obtained 1.2% cell fusion rate.

A storage protein(SP-2) was confirmed in haemolymph during larval-pupal-adult development of tobacco burdworm(Helicoverpa assulta Guenee), and its biochemical characteristics were investigated. The titer of SP-2 showed a peak at mature larva, decreased gradually through the late pupal stage, and became undetectable at adult period. As the results from electrophoretic mnysis, SP-2 was confirmed to be glycolipoprotein(M.W. 332kDa) relatively stable to heat( $\leq$ 68$^{\circ}C$ ). This storage protein was determined to be a tetramer composed of a single subunit with MW of 83kDa, and the isoelectric point was 5.7. The amino acid composition of the SP-2 was characterized. It has relatively high content of methionine and histidine, whereas the contents of tyrosine and phenylalanine were relatively low.

Pseudomonas sp. P20 isolated from the polluted environment is capable of degrading biphenyl and 4-chlorobiphenyl. The pcbABCD genes responsible for degradation of biphenyl and 4-chlorobiphenyl were cloned using pBluescript SK(+) from the chromosomal DNA of Pseudomonas sp. P20 to construct pCK1 and pCK102, harbouring pcbABCD and pcbCD, respectively. The 2, 3-DHBP dioxygenase gene, pcbC, was cloned again from pCK102 by using pKT230 which is known as a shuttle vector and pKK1 hybrid plasmid was constructed. The E. coli KK1 transformant obtained by transforming the pKK1 into E. coli XL1-Blue showed 2, 3-DHBP dioxygenase activity. The specific 2, 3-DHBP dioxygenase activity of E. coli KK1 was similar to that of the E. coli CK102, but much higher than those of the natural isolates, Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 and Pseudomonas sp. P20.
