Four bacterial strains able to degrade dichlorobenzene as the sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from soil by selective enrichment culture, and among them, one isolation was the best in the cell growth and identified as Pseudomonas sp. DCB3 by its morphology and physiological properties. Cell growth dramatically increased in a minimal medium containing 500ppm of dichlorobenzene was not detected any more at 72 hours after cultivation. The optimal temperature and initial pH for the growth of the isolated strain were 30$\circ$C and 7.0, respectively. Cell growth was increased by supplementing $(NH_2)_2CO$ and 50 ppm yeast extract as additional nutrients. Therefore, it was suggested that Pseudomonas sp. DCB3 could be effectively used for the biological treatment of wastewater containing dichlorobenzene.

This study was conducted to investigate the infectious arthritis on pigs slaughter in eastern Kangweon. During the period of between Feb. and Nov. 1992, 459 pigs were sampled at six abattoirs. Bacterial isolation and identification were perfomed from the arthritic lesions. In addition, drug susceptibility for the major isolated microoganisms were examined. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. From arthritic lesions bacteria were most frequently isolated, isolation rate being 21.1%. 2. The bacteria isolated from arthritic lesion, Staphylococcus spp. (33.9%), Coli form(39.3%) were most frequently isolated, while the genera of Mycoplasma were detected less frequently. 3. Antimicrobial drug susceptibility of the major organisms showed that all the isolated bacteria were susceptible to SXT(91.0%), cephalothin(82.5%), but resisted to penicillin and streptomycin.

A Gram (-), rod-shaped bacterium $2.3{\sim}2.8{\times}0.45{\mu}m$ in size which exhibited growth-inhibiting effects against a cyanobacterium (Anabaena cylindrica) was isolated from Daechung Dam Reservoir. This isolate was identified as Moraxella sp. and designated Moracella sp. CK-1. Hollow zones formed around bacterial colonies on the cyanobacterial lawn. In a mixed-culture of A. cylindrica and the isolate, each microorganism grew inverse-proportionally, and the cyanobacterial vegetative cells completely disappeared within 24 hours. On treatment with Moraxella sp. CK-1, cell walls of A. cylindrica disappeared, but sheathes remained in a more electron dense form. The unit membrane such as thylakoidal membrane was stable to bacterial lysing activity. This bacterium showed a broad action spectrum against cyanobacteria. The growth-inhibiting activity of Moracella sp. CK-1 against A. cylindrica is believed to be performed through the excretion of active substances.

Antagonistic effect of bacterial strains isolated from phylloplane of strawberry plants grown In greenhouse was tested on Botrytis cinerea Among the promising bacterial strains, Bacillus sp. S1-0210 showed highest inhibition of mycelial growth of B. cinerea and a broad spectrum of antifungal activities against many plant pathogenic fungi in vitro. Bacillus sp. S1-0210 was identified as Bacillus subtilis based on the analysis of 185 rDNA as well as its biochemical characteristics. Application of wettable powder formulation of B. subtiiis S1-0210 significantly reduced the incidence of gray mold on trawberry fruits during storage. Results showed that treatment of B. subtilis S1-0210 decreased the incidence of gray mold by 4.8％ whereas the incidence in control was 77.9％, indicating that the formulation of B. subtilis S1-0210 will be practically applied on strawberry fruits as a biocontrol agent of gray mold during storage.

Seventeen lactic acid bacterial strains (LAB) were isolated using MRS agar medium from Jeotgal, a Korean fermented food, purchased at the Jukdo market of Pohang. To identify the strains isolated, they were tested by examining their cell morphologies, gram-staining, catalase activity, arginine hydrolase activity, D-L lactate form and carbohydrate fermentation. According to the phenotypic characteristics, three strains were tentatively identified as Lactobacillus spp., ten were Enterococcus spp. (or Streptococcus spp., or Pediococcus spp.) and the rest were Leuconostoc spp. (or Weissella spp.). Five strains among 17 were chosen by preliminary bacteriocin activity test. Four bacterial strains which inhibited both indicator microorganisms were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. The results are as follows; Leuconostoc mesenteroides (HK 4), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (HK 5), Leuconostoc mesenteroides(HK 11), Streptococcus salivarius(HK 8). In order to check LAB which are showing a high survival rate in gut, we investigated three strains inhibiting both indicator microorganisms in artificial gastric acid and bile juice -all except HK8. The three strains mentioned above grew in extreme low acid conditions.

For the purpose of acquiring microbial agents that can be utilized to billogically control the major airborne disease to apple trees, such as canker(Valsa ceratosperma), the effective microorgaisms were isolated, tested for antagonistic activity to the pathogen causing major disease to apple trees and identifed. Screening of more than 3, 000 species of microorganisms collected in nature for them antagonistic action to the pathogen, Valsa ceratosperma causing disease to apple tree resulted in selection of effective species. Out of the 11 species, one species designated as CAP141 demonstrated outstanding activity. The bacterial strain, CAP141 exerted antagonistic efficiency of 65% on Valsa ceratosperma. The CAP141 was identified as a bacterial strain to Bacillus subtilis based on morphology, culture conditions, and physio-biochemical characteristics.

In order to screen the antagonistic bacteria which inhibit the growth of the apple pathogen, Penicillum expansum, we isolated an effective bacterial strain and investigated into the antifungal activity of the antagonist and it's identification. The eleven strains of bacteria which strongly inhibited P. expansum were isolated from the nature, and the best antagonistic bacterial strain designated as CH142, was selected. The antagonistic strain CH142 was identified to be the genus Bacillus subtilis based on morphological and biochemical characterization. The CH142 showed 55.9% of antifungal activity against the growth of P. expansum. By the treatment of the culture broth and the heat treated culture filtrate of it, the B. subtilis CH142 showed 90% and 15% of antifungal activity, respectively.

In other to produce vinegar using Schizandra chinensis Ballon(omija), acetic acid bacteria(AAB) were selected from several conventional vinegars, and total 30 acetic acid bacterial strains were isolated. Among the isolated strains, a strain was selected from medium containing omija juice which showed the highest productivity of acetic acid. The strain was identified as Acetobacter sp. C5-1b. Optimum conditions for acetic acid production of Acetabacter sp. C5-1b were involved with 30t: of fermentation temperature and shaking culture. The acidity of culture medium was reached to 5.3% after 8 days shaking cultivation at 30℃.
