A blue mold on tomato fruit caused by Penicillium oxalicum occurred sporadically in a greenhouse at Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services. Infection usually occurred through wounds or cracks on the fruits. Symptoms began with water soaking lesions, then became watery and softened eventually. Colony of the causal fungus was white at the early growing stage, turned green on Czapek yeast extract agar and malt extract agar. Conidia were ellipsoidal in shape and $2-6{\times}2-4{\mu}m$ in size. Stipes were septate, smooth, thin walled, and $90-280{\times}3-4{\mu}m$ in size. Penicilli were mostly biverticillate. Ramuli were 1-3 groups, smooth, and $10-16{\times}2-3{\mu}m$ in size. Rami were 1-2 groups and $6-30{\times}2-4{\mu}m$ in size. Metulae were 2-3(5) verticils, smooth, and $12-20{\times}3-4{\mu}m$ in size. Phialides were 5-7 verticilate, ampulliform to cylindroidal, smooth, and $8-12{\times}2-3{\mu}m$ in size. Optimum temperature for growth was about $25^{\circ}C$. Pathogenicity of the fungus was proved on tomato fruit according to Koch's postulation. On the basis of mycological and pathological characteristics, the fungus was identified as P. oxalicum Currie & Thom. This is the first report of the blue mold on tomato fruit caused by P. oxalicum in Korea.

The isolation of a causal pathogen from pear fruits showing lesions of blue mold was carried out, which were preserved in the packinghouse of Anseong for the export to the United States. When the lesion of pears(Pyrus pyrifolia Niitaka) was checked in packinghouse, their fruit epidermis over decayed parts varied from light tan to dark brown. Also, the decayed flesh was soft and watery, and separated easily from the healthy tissue. Based on the cultural and morphological characteristics, the fungus(IL-12 isolate) was identified as Penicillium aurantiogriseum. This is the first report associated with blue mold of pear caused by P. aurantiogriseum in Korea.

In order to control postharvest spoilage of satsuma mandarin fruits, rhizobacteria were isolated from soil samples. The Pantoea agglomerans strain 59-4 (Pa 59-4) which suppresses the decay of mandarin fruit by green and blue mold, was tested for the control efficacy and its mode of action was investigated. Pa 59-4 inhibited infection by green and blue mold on wounded mandarins, which were artificially inoculated with a spore suspension of Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum with control efficacies of 85-90% and 75-80%, respectively. The biocontrol efficacy was increased by raising the concentration of cells to between $10^8$ and $10^9\;cfu/ml$, and pretreatment with the antagonist prevented subsequent infection by green mold. The population of Pa 59-4 was increased more than 10 fold during the 24 hr incubation at $20^{\circ}C$, indicating that colonization of the wound site might prevent the infection by green mold. Despite poor antifungal activity, the Pa 59-4 isolate completely inhibited the germination and growth of P. digitatum spores at $1{\times}10^8\;cfu/ml$. We argue that the control efficacy was mediated by nutrient competition. Overall, the effective rhizobacterium, Pa 59-4, was shown to be a promising biocontrol agent for the postharvest spoilage of mandarin fruits by green and blue mold.

During 2007 survey of post-harvest diseases of yam performed in May and June, severe tuber loss caused by blue mold was observed in Iksan, Cheonbuk Province. Two species of Penicillium were isolated from the infected tubers. Based on $\beta$-tubulin gene sequence analysis, and cultural and morphological characteristics, the isolates were identified as Penicillium sclerotigenum and P. polonicum. P. sclerotigenum, which is a novel to Korea, is presently described and illustrated.

Kuflu cheese, a popular variety of traditional Turkish mold-ripened cheeses, is characterized by its semi-hard texture and blue-green color. It is important to elucidate the microbiota of Kuflu cheese produced from raw milk to standardize and sustain its sensory properties. This study aimed to examine the bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous mold communities in Kuflu cheese using high-throughput amplicon sequencing based on 16S and ITS2 regions. Lactococcus, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus were the most dominant bacterial genera while Bifidobacterium genus was found to be remarkably high in some Kuflu cheese samples. Penicillium genus dominated the filamentous mold biota while the yeasts with the highest relative abundances were detected as Debaryomyces, Pichia, and Candida. The genera Virgibacillus and Paraliobacillus, which were not previously reported for mold-ripened cheeses, were detected at high relative abundances in some Kuflu cheese samples. None of the genera that include important food pathogens like Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria were detected in the samples. This is the first experiment in which the microbiota of Kuflu cheeses were evaluated with a metagenomic approach. This study provided an opportunity to evaluate Kuflu cheese, which was previously examined for fungal composition, in terms of both pathogenic and beneficial bacteria.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 가장 많이 생산, 소비되는 '캠벨얼리' 포도의 수확 후 저장과정에서 발생하는 썩음병의 종류, 병원균, 그리고 발병률을 조사하였다. 3곳의 국내 주요 포도 재배지역에서 생산되어 포장을 마친 '캠벨얼리'를 2주간 냉장보관하고, 4주간 상온저장 후 발생한 썩음병 발병률을 조사하였다. '캠벨얼리' 저장 중 발생하는 주요 썩음병은 잿빛곰팡이병, 푸른곰팡이병, 만부병, 새 썩음병 1, 새 썩음병 2이었다. 잿빛곰팡이병, 푸른곰팡이병, 만부병의 병징으로부터 분리한 병원균은 각각 Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium sclerotiorum, Colletotrichum acutatum으로 동정되었으며, 새 썩음병 1과 새 썩음병 2에서 분리한 병원균은 아직 정확한 동정 중이다. 국내 주요 포도 재배지역 3곳에서 생산된 포도에서 발생한 각 병의 발병률은 새 썩음병 1과 새 썩음병 2가 높았으며, 만부병이 가장 낮았고, 잿빛곰팡이병과 푸른곰팡이병의 발생도 낮았다. 또한 각 병의 발병은 재배 지역이 다른 포도에서 상당한 발병률의 차이를 보였다.

이 총설의 목적은 도포 숙성 치즈와 곰팡이 숙성 치즈의 제조 공정의 차이를 살펴보고 이들의 관능적 특성 차이에 관하여 비교 분석 하는 것이다. 도포 숙성 치즈와 곰팡이 숙성 치즈의 관능적 특성은 치즈의 품질 평가에서 가장 중요한 요소이다. 도포 숙성 치즈는 부드럽고 잘 부스러지는 질감을 가지고 있다. 그리고 블루 치즈와 비교하여 짠맛과 신맛이 강한 편이다. 반면에 블루 치즈 (곰팡이 숙성 치즈)는 산양유로 만들었을 때 더 부드럽고 크림과 같은 질감이 나며 냄새가 좀 더 강한 편이다. 블루 치즈는 좀더 산도와 짠맛, 쓴맛이 도포 숙성 치즈에 배하여 강한 편이며 좀 더 신선한 맛이 나는 것이 특징이다. 또한 도포 숙성 치즈와 곰팡이 숙성 치즈의 관능적 특성, 예를 들면 냄새, 맛, 질감 등은 치즈의 품질 평가에 아주 중요한 요소로 작용할 것이라 사료된다.

To screen for potential biocontrol agents against postharvest disease of garlics caused by Penicillium hirsutum, a total of 933 isolates (432 fungi and 501 bacteria) were isolated from the rhizoshere or rhizoplane of garlics. Among them, Pantoea agglomerans isolate 59-4 (Pa 59-4) was selected for a potential biocontrol agent by in vivo wounded garlic bulb assay, When the spore suspension (10$\^$5/ spores/$m\ell$) of Penicillium hirsutum was co-inoculated with spore or cell suspension of each fungal or bacterial isolate on wounded garlics, the isolate highly suppressed disease development. Soaking garlic bulbs in the suspension of Pa 59-4 significantly reduced garlic decay from p. hirsutum. However, Pa 59-4 did not inhibit the mycelial growth of P. hirsutum in dual-culture with P. hirsutum on Tryptic soy agar. In order to elucidate mode of action of Pa 59-4 nutrient competition between Pa 59-4 and P. hirsutum was investigated using tissue culture plates with cylinder inserts containing defusing membrane reported by Janisiewicz et al. The results showed that Pa 59-4 effectively suppressed spore germination and mycelial growth of blue mold in the low concentration (0.5％) of garlic juice, but did not suppress those of blue mold in the higher concentration (5％) of garlic juice. This result suggests that the mechanism in biocontrol of garlic blue mold by Pa 59-4 may involve in nutrient competition with P. hirsutum on garlic bulbs.

Grape fruits with blue mold symptoms were collected from house storages in different locations in Korea and were investigated for their association with Penicillium species. A total of 12 isolates of Penicillium were isolated from the collected fruits. Based on morphological and cultural characteristics and ${\beta}-tublin$ gene sequence data analysis, they were identified as P. bialowiezense, P. citrinum, P. echinulatum, P. expansum, P. solitum and unidentified Penicillium species. P. solitum was the predominant followed by P. expansum. P. bialowiezense and P. echinulatum were newly recorded in Korea. ${\beta}-Tubulin$ gene sequences could be used to distinguish each species of Penicillium and the molecular groups were correlated well with the morphological species. The unidentified species was supposed to be a new species, not previously reported in literature.

수확 후 부패는 큰 경제적 손실과 포도의 품질을 낮추는 요인이다. 또한 이는 포도 수출의 중요한 제한 요인 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 칠레로부터 수입한 '레드글러브' 품종의 부패병과 원인 병원균을 동정하였다. 포도 수입항 근처의 저장창고로부터 부패병이 발생한 포도를 수집하였다. 수입포도 '레드글러브' 품종에서 melting decay, 잿빛곰팡이병, 푸른곰팡이병의 3가지 부패병이 관찰되었다. 전형적인 melting deay로부터 분리한 세균은 16S rDNA의 염기서열과 지방산 프로필을 기초로 Gluconobacter cerinus로 동정하였다. 건전한 포도에 접종에 의해 분리균은 melting decay의 특징인 포도 알 표피의 열과와 괴저를 유도하였다. 잿빛곰팡이병과 푸른곰팡이병 병징을 보이는 포도로부터 Botrytis cinerea와 Penicillium expansum을 분리하였다. 이 2가지 균류는 형태적 특징과 beta-tubulin 유전자의 염기서열을 기초로 동정하였다. 이들은 한국에서 가장 많이 생산되는 '캠벨얼리' 품종에서 강한 병원성을 보여 주었다.
