The effect of in-situ chemical oxidation on the indigenous soil microorganisms (total microbes and PAH-degrading microbes) and contaminant removal were investigated. Field soil contaminated with diesel in gas station was collected and the soil was treated from 0 to 900 minutes by in-situ ozonation as chemical remediation. The treated soil samples were incubated with supplying oxygen during the 9 weeks to understand the characteristics of microbes regrowth, damaged by ozone. The sharp decrease of aromatic fraction and TPH was observed within 60 minutes of ozone application and aromatic fraction and TPH then slowly decreased. The phenanthren-degrading bacteria were the most sensitive to ozonation, because 1 hour of ozonation reduced the microbes from 10$^{6}$ CFU/g-soil to below detection limits.

In order to investigate the role of bacterial chemotaxis in root colonization, the chemotaxis potential of bacteria isolated from spinach roots was compared with that of bacteria from nonhizosphere soil, with reference to the plant age (1,000 isolates), soil moisture conditons (1,400 isolates), and part of the root (200 isolates). The % CT (% occurrence of chemotaxis (+) isolates among total bacterial isoltes) of the root isolates significantlyfluctuated during the plant growth period, reaching a maximum after 10-15 days of growth. At this time period, the maximum % CT for the root isolates was around 70-80% CT under a soil moisture 50% WFP (% volume of water-filled pores in total soil pores), and then gradually reduced with an increasing % WFP. The results of the chemotaxis potential of each of the 100 islates from the spinach roots and nonrhizosphere soil under various % WFP demonstrated that the % CT of the root isolates were significantly higher than those of solates from the nonrhizosphere soil under a wide range of soil moisture content (35-80% WFP). Furthermore, the % CT value (80%) from the upper root was significantly higher than tht (55%) from the lower root. Compared with the % CT values of the roots, the values from the nonrhizosphere soil did not significantly vary relative to the plant age of % WFP. These results indicate that chemotaxis would appear to be a major factor in bacterial root colonization.

형광현미경을 이용한 기존의 직접생균수측정(DVC)법을 변형하여 산림토양의 각 층위에 분포하는 난배양성 토양세균의 정량적 평가를 시도하였다. 기존의 방법에서 사용된 DNA합성저해제(nalidixic acid; 100${\mu}g$/ml, pipemidic acid; 50 ${\mu}g$/ml, piromidic acid; 50 ${\mu}g$/ml)보다 5배 높은 농도를 사용한 결과 토양세균 군집의 세포분열이 배양24시간까지 분히 억제되어 기존의 DVC법보다 10배 이상 높은 계수치를 얻었다. 토양시료를 제균수로 원심 세척한 경우 DVC는 전균수(TDC)의 약 I% 미만을 나타내어 첨가된 기질의 이용능을 정확히 판정할 수 있었다. 형광현미경을 이용하여 DVC법에 의해 검출된 생균수는 전균수의 18-44%를 나타내었고, 평판법(PC)에 의해 계수된 생균수는 전균수의 1% 미만을 나타내어 DVC법이 평판법에 비해 100-2000배 이상 높은 계수치를 나타내었다. 이는 평판법으로는 배양할 수 없는 난배양성(VBNC)세균이 토양 내에 다수 존재해 있음으로 판단되었고, DVC법에 의해 난배양성 토양세균을 정량적으로 검출할 수 있는 가능성이 확인되었다. 영양기질로써 통상농도의 NB배지와 NB를 $10^{-2}$로 희석한 DNB배지를 사용하여 DVC법과 평판법에 의한 계수 결과를 비교한 결과 모든 시료에서 DNB배지에서의 생균수는 NB배지보다 5～10배 이상 높은 값을 나타내어 산림토양의 각 층위에 저영양세균(oligotrophic bacteria)이 다수 분포해 있음으로 추정되었다.

BACKGROUND: Marine algae is a productive organism that is consumed as a nutritious food. However, large amounts of unused portions of the algae are incinerated as trash or dumped in the sea, causing pollution. Recycling algae is important for saving resources and conserving the environment. In this study, the fucoidan which is a major carbohydrate of marine algae was tested as a source of fertilizer for farming. METHODS AND RESULTS: The growth rate of the melon was examined after treating fucoidan and the melon growth factors, weight and length of stem were measured. To discover the mechanism of melon growth promotion of fucoidan, bacteria that decomposed fucoidan were isolated from soil and abalone. Bacillus wiedmannii and Stenotrophomonas pavanii were isolated from terrestrial soil and Pseudomonas sp. was isolated from abalone. Among these three bacteria, Pseudomonas sp. had the highest and most specific fucoidan-decomposing activity. When Pseudomonas sp. was treated with fucoidan on melon-growing soil, the growth of melon was relatively improved compared to the treatment with fucoidan alone. CONCLUSION: We found that fucoidan, the main carbohydrate of marine algae, promoted melon growth. Fucoidan-decomposing microorganisms were isolated from terrestrial soil and marine organism, and we found that these bacteria stimulated the effect of melon growth promotion of marine algae. This is the first report that confirms the fertilizer effect of marine algae and shows the use of bacteria with marine algae.

Because of high population diversity in soil microbial communities, it is difficult to accurately assess the capability of biodegradation of toxicant by microbes in soil and sediment. Identifying biodegradative microorganisms is an important step in designing and analyzing soil bioremediation. To remove non-important noise information, it is necessary to selectively enrich genomes of biodegradative microorganisms fromnon-biodegradative populations. For this purpose, a stable isotope probing (SIP) technique was applied in selectively harvesting the genomes of biphenyl-utilizing bacteria from soil microbial communities. Since many biphenyl-using microorganisms are responsible for aerobic PCB degradation In soil and sediments, biphenyl-utilizing bacteria were chosen as the target organisms. In soil microcosms, 13C-biphenyl was added as a selective carbon source for biphenyl users, According to $13C-CO_2$ analysis by GC-MS, 13C-biphenyl mineralization was detected after a 7-day of incubation. The heavy portion of DNA(13C-DNA) was separated from the light portion of DNA (12C-DNA) using equilibrium density gradient ultracentrifuge. Bacterial community structure in the 13C-DNAsample was analyzed by t-RFLP (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism) method. The t-RFLP result demonstates that the use of SIP efficiently and selectively enriched the genomes of biphenyl degrading bacteria from non-degradative microbes. Furthermore, the bacterial diversity of biphenyl degrading populations was small enough for environmental genomes tools (metagenomics and DNA microarrays) to be used to detect functional (biphenyl degradation) genes from soil microbial communities, which may provide a significant progress in assessing microbial capability of PCB bioremediation in soil and groundwater.

여천공단의 대기오염이 산림생태계에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 공단의 남단에 위치한 남해화학주변과 그 지역에서 2km, 4km, 6km, 8km 및 10km 떨어진 지점을 선정하여 산림토양의 화학적 특성, 탈질균 및 황산환원균 동태와 지의류 출현도를 비교하였다. 여천공단 주변지역의 토양은 적황색 산림토양군(R Y)에 속하는 토양이었으나 같은 산림토양군에 속하는 토양에 비해 pH가 매우 낮았다. 산림토양의 pH가 낮음으로 인해 C/N비가 15~25의 범주에 있음에도 불구하고 유기물의 분해 등 무기화에 관여하는 미생물의 활력이 낮아서 유기물함량이나 전질소함량은 상대적으로 높았다. 공단 인접지역에서 4km 지점에 이르는 곳까지의 토양 화학특성이 6km 이후 지역에 비해 대기오염 피해도가 심하게 나타났으나 탈질균 및 황산환원균의 분포량 차이에 따른 피해도 구분은 어려웠다. 한편, 지의류는 산림토양에 반영된 대기오염도의 차이에 비해 확연한 결과를 나타냈으며, 특히 엽상지의류는 바위에 붙어 사는 지의류에 비해서 더 민감한 반응을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

Pseudomonas fluorescens pc78 is an effective biocontrol agent for soil-borne fungal diseases. We previously constructed a P43-gfp tagged biocontrol bacteria P. fluorescens pc78-48 to investigate bacterial traits in natural ecosystem and the environmental risk of genetically modified biocontrol bacteria in tomato rhizosphere. Fluctuation of culturable bacteria profile, microbial community structure, and potential horizontal gene transfer was investigated over time after the bacteria treatment to the tomato rhizosphere. Tagged gene transfer to other organisms such as tomato plants and bacteria cultured on various media was examined by polymerase chain reaction, using gene specific primers. Transfer of chromosomally integrated P43-gfp from pc78 to other organisms was not apparent. Population and colony types of culturable bacteria were not significantly affected by the introduction of P. fluorescens pc78 or pc78-48 into tomato rhizosphere. Additionally, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles were investigated to estimate the influence on the microbial community structure in tomato rhizosphere between non-treated and pc78-48-treated samples. Interestingly, rhizosphere soil treated with strain pc78-48 exhibited a significantly different bacterial community structure compared to that of non-treated rhizosphere soil. Our results suggest that biocontrol bacteria treatment influences microbial community in tomato rhizosphere, while the chromosomally modified biocontrol bacteria may not pose any specific environmental risk in terms of gene transfer.

A culture-independent and -dependent survey of the bacterial community structure in the rhizosphere and soil samples from hot pepper plants was conducted using 16S rDNA clone library and FAME analyses. Out of the 78 clones sequenced, 56% belonged to Proteobacteria, 4% to high G+C Gram- positive group, 3% to Cytophyga-Flexibacter-Bacreroides, and 32% could not be grouped with any known taxonomic division. Among the 127 FAME isolates identified, 66% belonged to low G+C Gram-positive bacteria (Baciilus spp.) and 26% to high G+C Gram-positive bacteria. In a cluster analysis, the results for both methods were found to be strikingly dissimilar. The current study is the first comparative study of FAME and 165 rDNA clonal analyses performed on the same set of soil, rhizosphere soil, and root samples.

Ethylene is a key gaseous hormone that controls various physiological processes in plants including growth, senescence, fruit ripening, and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. In spite of some of these positive effects, the gas usually inhibits plant growth. While chemical fertilizers help plants grow better by providing soil-limited nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphate, overusage often results in growth inhibition by soil contamination and subsequent stress responses in plants. Therefore, controlling ethylene production in plants becomes one of the attractive challenges to increase crop yields. Some soil bacteria among plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) can stimulate plant growth even under stressful conditions by reducing ethylene levels in plants, hence the term "stress controllers" for these bacteria. Thus, manipulation of relevant genes or gene products might not only help clear polluted soil of contaminants but contribute to elevating the crop productivity. In this article, the beneficial soil bacteria and the mechanisms of reduced ethylene production in plants by stress controllers are discussed.
