본 연구에서는 차세대 염기서열분석(pyrosequencing) 기술을 이용해 조릿대(Sasa borealis) 대나무림의 낙엽층과 근권 토양 내 주요 군집인 방선균군집의 계통학적 특성을 분석하여 방선균 유전자원 다양성 확보를 위한 기반 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. 낙엽층 시료 내 세균군집은 2,588 OTUs, 다양성 지수 7.55로 나타났으며, 근권토양 시료의 경우 2,868 OTUs, 다양성 지수 8.15로 다양한 세균군집이 균등하게 분포하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 대나무림 토양시료 내 세균군집은 총 35개의 문으로 구성되었으며, Proteobacteria (51-60%), Bacteroidetes (16-20%), Acidobacteria (4-16%) 그리고 Actinobacteria (4-14%) 계통군이 주요 세균군집으로 확인되었다. 특히, Actinobacteria은 총 6목 35과 121속의 다양한 방선균이 분포하였으며, 전체 방선균군집의 83%가 Actinomycetales 목으로 확인되었다. 이들 Actinomycetales 목은 28개 과로 구성되었으며, Micromonosporaceae, Pseudonocardiaceae 그리고 Streptomycetaceae는 조릿대 대나무림의 낙엽층과 근권토양에서 풍부도가 가장 높고 변이가 적은 대표 방선균군집으로 확인되었다.

The diversity of culturable non-actinobacterial (NA) bacteria associated with four species of South China Sea gorgonians was investigated using culture-dependent methods followed by analysis of the bacterial 16S rDNA sequence. A total of 76 bacterial isolates were recovered and identified, which belonged to 21 species of 7 genera, and Bacillus was the most diverse genus. Fifty-one percent of the 76 isolates displayed antibacterial activities, and most of them belonged to the Bacillus genus. From the culture broth of gorgonian-associated Bacillus methylotrophicus SCSGAB0092 isolated from gorgonian Melitodes squamata, 11 antimicrobial lipopeptides including seven surfactins and four iturins were obtained. These results imply that Bacillus strains associated with gorgonians play roles in coral defense mechanisms through producing antimicrobial substances. This study, for the first time, compares the diversity of culturable NA bacterial communities among four species of South China Sea gorgonians and investigates the secondary metabolites of gorgonian-associated B. methylotrophicus SCSGAB0092.

Spore forming actinobacteria (sporoactinobacteria) isolated from soils with an acidic pH in Pinus thunbergii forests and coal mine waste were subjected to taxonomic characterization. For the isolation of acidophilic actinobacteria, acidified starch casein agar (pH adjusted to 4-5) was used. The numbers of actinobacteria growing in acidic media were between $3.2{\times}10^4$ and $8.0{\times}10^6$ CFU/g soil. Forty three acidophilic actinobacterial strains were isolated and their 16S rDNA sequences were determined. The isolates were divided into eight distinctive phylogenetic clusters within the variation encompassed by the family Streptomycetaceae. Four clusters among them were assigned to the genus Streptacidiphilus, whereas the remaining four were assigned to Streptomyces. The clusters belonging to either Streptomyces or Streptacidiphilus did not form a monophyletic clade. The growth pH profiles indicated that the representative isolates grew best between pH 5 and 6. It is evident from this study that acidity has played a critical role in the differentiation of the family Streptomycetaceae, and also that different mechanisms might have resulted in the evolution of two groups, Streptacidiphilus (strict acidophiles) and neutrotolerant acidophilic Streptomyces. The effect of geographic separation was clearly seen among the Streptacidiphilus isolates, which may be a key factor in speciation of the genus.

To discover and characterize indigenous species in Korea, a total of 31 bacterial strains that belong to the phylum Actinobacteria were isolated from various niches in Korea. Each strain showed the high sequence similarity (>99.1%) with the closest bacterial species, forming a robust phylogenetic clade. These strains have not been previously recorded in Korea. According to the recently updated taxonomy of the phylum Actinobacteria based upon 16S rRNA trees, we report 25 genera of 13 families within 5 orders of the class Actinobacteria as actinobacterial species found in Korea. Cellular morphology, Gram staining, basic biochemical characteristics are described in the species description.
