The aerobic heterotrophic bacteria in the histosphere associated with grasses (Gramineae, Caryphyllaceae, Crucifereae) and rice cultivars in saline and reclaimed saline paddy soils were varied with species and rice cultivars. The fraction of aerobic heterotrophic $N_2$-fixing bacteria to the total aerobic heterotrophic bacteria were averaged to eighteen percent in the histosphere of grasses and rice. Acetylene reducing activity of these bacteria were ranged from 1 to 24 n mole/tube/hr. Most of the bacteria strains were predominated of hydrogen utilizing bacteria. The majority of these bacteria were closed to Pseudomonas, Azospirillum, Klebsiella and Agrobacter.

Tetracycline is one of the mostly used antibiotics around the world. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fate of two different types of tetracycline resistant bacteria in biological wastewater treatment plants. Tetracycline resistant enterics and heterotrophic bacteria were monitored under two different lab-scale experimental conditions. Tetracycline resistant enteric bacteria showed the lower percentages of total enteric bacteria and net specific growth rate in the monitored activated sludge system as compared to tetracycline resistant heterotrophic bacteria. Therefore, total enterics, potentially E.coli, might not be the best indicator microorganism for evaluating the antibiotic resistant bacteria in biological wastewater treatment plant.

In order to understand the role of heterotrophic protists in the coastal waters off Inchon, abiotic and biotic factors were measured from January 1992 to February 1993. Microbial carbon biomass (mean212.9$^{\pm}$119.1 $^{\mu}$gC/1) was composed of 4.2% bacteria, 0.3% cyanobacteria, 12.l% autotrophic nanoflagellates, 6.6% heterotrophic nanoflagellates, 5.8 heterotrophic ciliates and 71.0% diatom and Mesodinium spp. The carbon biomass of heterotrophic protists (heterotrophic nanoflagellates and ciliates) was highest in October 1992 (mean 37.8$^{\pm}$22.5 $^{\mu}$gC/1), and was low in August 1992 (mean 21.2$^{\pm}$10.8 $^{\mu}$gC/1) and in February 1993 (mean 19.5$^{\pm}$6.4 $^{\mu}$gC/1). However, the contribution of heterotrophic protists to total microbial carbon biomass was higher in January 1992 and February 1993 (about 21%) when the phytoplankton was dominated by nanoplankton than in August and October (about 9%) when large diatoms occurred in large numbers. This study suggests that in Kyeonggi Bay heterotrophic protists might play a more important role as prey for zooplankton and as consumers of bacteria & small phytoplankton in less productive seasons (especially winter) than in productive seasons (autumn), and that the classic trophic pathway from diatoms through copepods to fish might be dominant nearly every season.

From July 1985 to December 1986, 28 variables of phycal-chemical factors, bacteria and heterotrophic activity were investigated 17 times at 3 stations in the estuary of Naktong River and the influences of environmental factors to bacterial population and heterotrophic activity were analyzed through multiple regression. The results of multiple regression were as follows. At station 1, total bacteria and heterotrophic bacteria(Z-25) could explain 57% of the variation of maximum uptake velocity for glucose and 54% of turnover time for glucose was explained by total coliform bacteria and MBOD, Sixty four percent of the variation of Kt+SN was accounted for salinity, MBOD-N and inorganic phosphate. Turnover rate for acetate was also accounted for the change of MBOD-P by 56%. At station 2 maximum uptake velocity for glucose depends on MBOD-N by 81%; turnover time on bacteria by 50%; Kt+Sn on avilable nutrient by 61%. More than 50% of maximum uptake velocity and turnover time for glucose were influenced by bacteria and that of Kt+Sn by the change of nutrient in the surface water of station 3. In the bottom water of station 3, the change of maximumuptake velocity, turnover time and Kt+Sn for glucose was controlled by total bacteria and available nutrient, bacteria, the change of nutrient salts respectively. On the whole, more than 50% of maximum uptake velocity and turnover time for glucose could be due to the change in the number of bacetria and the value of Kt+Sn was affected by the change of nutrient salts. Turnover rate for acetate was controlled by available phosphate at station 1 and by bacteria at station 2 and 3, which showed a distinct difference between the environmental factors which govern the rate of glucose and acetate uptake in the Naktong esturine ecosystem. And bacterial communities were controlled by available nutrients at station 1, by nutrient salts and salinity at station 2 and in the surface water of station 3 and by salinity in the bottom water of station 3.

This study was undertaken to determine the effect of reservoirs on water quality and the distribution of pathogenic and indicator bacteria in a drinking water distribution system (total length 14km). Raw water, disinfected water, and water samples from the distribution system were subjected to physicochemical and microbiological analyses. Most factors encountered at each season included residual chloride, nitrate, turbidity, and phosphorus for heterotrophic bacterial distribution, and hardness, heterotrophic bacteria, sampling site, and DOC (dissolved organic carbon) for bacteria on selective media. No Salmonella or Shigella spp. were detected, but many colonies of opportunistic pathogens were found. Comparing tap water samples taken at similar distances from the water treatment plant, samples that had passed through a reservoir had a higher concentration of heterotrophic bacteria, and a higher rate of colony formation with 10 times as many bacteria on selective media. Based on the results with m-Endo agar, the water in reservoirs appeared safe; however, coliforms and opportunistic pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa were identified on other selective media. This study illustrates that storage reservoirs in the drinking water distribution system have low microbiological water quality by opportunistic pathogens, and therefore, water quality must be controlled.

Heterotrophic activity, total bacteria and salinity were determined seasonally in the estuary of Naktong River over half tidal cycle. Heterotrophic activity was determined by the uptake of [U- $^{14}$ C]glucose. Heterotrophic activity fluctuated with the tides and was decreased as salinity increased. Teh great activity occurred near low ebb tide at all seasons except summer. The main environmental factor affecting hetreotrophic activity was the salinity rather than water temperature in the estuary of Naktong River. In order to estimate the effect of salt, salt was added to estuarine water. Vmax for glucose of salt-added water was 17% and 77% of original estuarine water at station 1 and 2 respectively and slight increase was observed at station 3. Respiration rate and Kt+Sn for glucose of salt-added sample increased at all 3 stations. The increase of the Kt value implies the reduced affinity of bacterial population for glucose. The effects of salinity on the heterotrophic activity were more extensive in the upper region of estuary than at the mouth.

This study investigated tile effect of ozonation on indigenous microorganisms distributed in different size fractions of soil aggregates. Soil was ozonated from 0 to 300 minutes. The treated soils were fractionated into 3 groups (small, <53 $\mu$m; medium, 53-500 $\mu$m; and large, 2000-500 $\mu$m) and total heterotrophic bacteria in the soils were enumerated. Cell number decreased rapidly within 120 minute ozonation and showed slow decrease upon longer ozonation. Abundance of total heterotrophic bacteria in each fraction was in the following order regardless of ozonation time: small>medium>large fractions. Difference in microbial abundance among the fractions was smaller as ozonation time increased.

The study of microbial communities in sediments is impaired by the lack of reliable extraction methods. This study reports on the efficiency of recovery of a method for extracting bacteria, protists and diatoms from sandy sediments using a modified decant/fix method. The best extractions were achieved after fixation with a microtubule stabilising fixative and subsequent sonication for 80 seconds. We estimate that the efficiencies of recovery of bacteria and mixed heterotrophic flagellates were $96.4{\pm}3.5\%$ and $96.9{\pm}4.6\%$, respectively. Diatoms were recovered with an efficiency of 38-83% and varied considerably from species to species. This study suggests that the decant/fix method is effective in extracting small cells such as bacteria and heterotrophic flagellates, and that the efficiency of recovery of the method varies due to cell length and different types of organisms. When microbial carbon biomass had been underestimated by up to 32%, with much of that relating to larger cells such as microalgae and ciliates. We note that the corrected abundances may be still a subset of the total numbers present.

제주도를 중심으로 한 남해해역 ($123^{\circ}$/30'E-$128^{\circ}$/30'E, $32^{\circ}00N-34^{\circ}$ 30'N)을 대상으로 퇴적토 시료를 1988년 7월 31일부터 8월 10일, 1989년 3월 9일 부텨 3월 13일에 걸쳐 2회 채취하였다. 퇴적토시료는 숙성된 해수와 증류수를 각각 넣은 ZoBell 2216 E 평판배지를 사용하여 해양 세균과 담수 새균을 계수하였고 종속영양 세균분포와 세포외 효소활성을 측정 분석하였다. 종석영양세균의 분포는 하계의 경우 해양 세균과 담수 세균 각각 $0.3{\times}10^{6}~15{\times}10^{6}/cm^{3}$ sediment, $0.3{\times}10^{7}~30{\times}10^{7}/cm^{3}$ sediment, $0.01{\times}10^{6}~19{\times}10^{6}/cm^{3}$ sediment로 나타났다. 1989 년 춘계, sediment 표층 종속영양 세균의 절대값은 정점에 따라 1988 년 하계에 비해 최고 100배 이상으로 상승하였고, 대부분의 정점에서 많은 세균수를 관찰할 수 있었다. 한편 총세균에 대한 담수세균의 비율은 하계보다 춘계에 항승하는 결과를 나타냇다. 퇴적토 함수율은 하계보다 춘계에 낮게 나타났으나 유기물량을 나타내는 회분량은 높음을 알 수 있었다. 즉 춘계에는 하계에 비해 입자가 큰 최적토가 많이 분포되어 있으나 유기물의 유입이 많음을 시사한다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합해 볼때 남해해열 퇴적토 세균군집은 계절에 따라 매우 높은 분포를 보이고 이 요인으로는 육수의 유입으로 인한 영향을 들 수 있다. 또한 춘계에 해수의 혼합으로 무기영양물질 공급이 일어나고 이어 증식한 프랑크톤이 침강하여 퇴적토에 유입되므로써 세포외 효소 활성력이 높은 세균에 의해 고분자물질이 분해되고 이로 인한 영양물질 공급이 세균상승의 원인 중 하나일 것으로 사료된다.

Annual distribution of hiterotrophic marine bacteria and seasonal characteristics were investigated in the intertidal waters and sediments in the vicinity of Kunsan of Yellow Sea, Korea. Annual distribution of heterotrophic marine bacteria ranged from $ 7.5*10^{2}$ to $1.1*10^{5}$ c.f.u./ml in water and from $1.6*10 ^{4}$ to $4.8*10^{6}$ c.f.u.per g dry sediments. As for the morphological distribution measured by epifluorescence microscopy, rod-form bacteria were distributed more than 74% of total observed bacteria during surveying periods. Average biovolume of sampled bacteria ranged from $3.19\;+-\;0.59*10^{-2}$ to $6.19\;+-\;0.76*10^{-2}$ $\mu$$m^{3}$ for coccus-form bacteria. Isolated bacteria showed various utilization of carbon sources such as glucose, maltose, lactose, xylose and arabinose, and showed tolerance at various range of salinity. It was isolated 82 genus in seawater and 114 genus in sediments. Dominant genera were Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Flavobacterium and Acinetobacter in seawater, and Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Vibrio, and Mycobacterium in sediments.
