This study examined the growth pattern and environmental factors affecting the growth of the halophyte, Suaeda japonica, which is prevalent on tidal flats in the west coast of Korea in order to calculate annual carbon production. Quantitative sampling was conducted every month for three years from 2018 to 2020 on salt marshes located on the southern coast of Ganghwa Island. In terms of annual density affected by the germination rate at first period, especially when air temperature for winter time was constantly below 0℃ for long periods of time, germination decreased and precipitation in summer also exerted an influence. In terms of annual growth with regard to length, the part below the ground grew rapidly in the beginning after budding, while the part above ground grew at a relatively steady rate at all times. With regard to biomass, the part below the ground also increased from April in a manner similar to length growth, but decreased drastically from September with leaves falling off and water loss occurring. The part above ground showed a rapid increase from the beginning of the rainy season. Size-frequency distribution revealed broader patterns after the rainy season as individual growth varied, but from September, it stopped at all year. High growth rates were recorded in the initial phase of growth after budding and growth was rapid, but growth declined in summer when biomass increased. The annual mean production based on growth rate was calculated at 352 gDWt/m²/yr, and the highest production was 519 gDWt/m²/yr in 2018, but it has decreased since 2019. Annual carbon production was at calculated 143.41 gC/m²/yr for Suaeda japonica in the vicinity of the southern coast of Ganghwa Island.

적기의 조상중간벌채시기 및 잔조에서의 적엽정도가 재발아와 선단고사, 수량 및 아고병등의 발생에 미치는 영향을 조사한바, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 조상의 중간벌채시기가 늦어지는데 따라서 재발아 조수가 감소하는 것이며 또 잔조에 잔엽을 많이 할수록 재발아조수가 적어질뿐만아니라 재발아엽수도 적어지는데 잔엽은 잔조의 상부에 하여야만 재발아억제의 효과가 있는 것이니 실용적으로는 3∼5 엽정도의 잔엽이 유리할 것 같다. 3∼5엽정도 잔엽을 하고 9월 20일 이후벌채를 하면 재발아조수가 격감한다. 2. 벌채후의 잔조에서 전적엽을 하면 지조의 선단고사비율이 매우 높고 상반부적엽구도 그외의 다른구들보다 약간 많은 것 같으며 벌채시기에 따라서는 전적엽구를 제외한 다른구에서는 별로 차가 없는 것 같지만 전적엽구만은 9월 15일 벌채구가 특히 높으니 이것은 전적엽으로 인한 지조의 불윤실과 이때의 온도조건이 아지병균의 기생에 호적하였다는 것이 그 원인인 것 같다. 3. 수량과의 관계를 보면 추잠기는 벌채시기에 따라서는 별로 차가 없지만 잔조에시의 적엽양이 많아질수록 전수량이 많아진다. 춘잠기수량은 무적엽구와 전적엽구는 벌채시기의 여하에 불구하고 가장 적으며 무적엽구를 제외한 그 외의 각구에서는 9월 15일과 9월 20일 벌채구가 수량이 발은 반면에 이보다 이르거나 늦은 경우에는 수량이 적어진다. 또 적엽각구는 9월 15일과 9월 20일 벌채구를 제외하고는 대체로 무적엽구보다 적으니 추기에 있어서의 적엽이 익춘기의 수량에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있다. 춘추합계수량에 있어서는 무적엽구와 전적엽구보다 그 외의 각구가 수량이 많으며 그 중에서도 9월 15일과 9월 20일 벌채구가 특히 많고 잔엽정도에 따르는 차는 별로 없는 것 같다. 이것을 종합해 볼때에 연간수량이 가장 많은 것은 9월 15일∼20일경에 중간벌채수확을 한후 그잔조에 3∼5 엽잔엽을 하는 방법이며 9월 5일∼10일 벌채구도 무적엽구나 그 이후의 벌채구와 별로 차가 없다. 4. 잔조에 발생하는 병은 아고병 가장 심하고 맛사리아병과 동고병도 약간 발생하였으며 아고병은 전적엽구에 가장 심하게 발생하였고 시기적으로는 9월 15일구에서 지수 92.9, 9월 20 일구에서는 지수 100으로 가장 심하게 발생하였으며 상반부적엽구에서도 상당히 발생하였고 무적엽구는 거의 발생하지 않았다. 5. 재발아비율 및 평균재발아엽수와 익춘잠기 수량과의 사이에는 각각 상관계수 r=-0.42, r=-0.27로서 부외 상관을 가지고 있으나 깊은 상관관계는 없으며 선단고사비율 및 아고병발생비율과 익춘잠기수량과의 사이에는 거의 상관이 없다. 아고병발생비율과 선단고사비율과의 사이에는 상관계수 r=＋0.8로서 깊은 정의 상관이 있다.

Optimum conditions for vacuum-drying ad cultivation of yeast cells for the production of active dry yeast were examined. At lower temperature, more drying time was required to dry the yeast pellet to reach the desirable water content(8%). Optimum temperature of vaccum oven and time for drying was 63$^{\circ}C$ and 90 min, respectively. Optimum medium composition for flask culture using cane molasses as the substrate were 0.25% sugar, 0.013% $K_2$HPO$_4$, 0.1% $K_2$HPO$_4$. and 0.125% (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$. Culture temperature $25^{\circ}C$ gave the highest survival rate of dired yeast. After finishing fed-batch culture and the culture was left in the fermentor without adding any sugar or nutrient, survival of the dried yeast harvested from the fermentor increased to 86.0% after 36 hr. It was also observed that the yeast cells with higher budding rates showed lower survival rate.

Two scleractinian species are newly recorded in Korea: Leptoseris mycetoseroides Wells, 1954 and Phyllangia hayamaensis (Eguchi, 1968). The two genera Leptoseris Milne Edwards and Haime, 1849 and Phyllangia Milne Edwards and Haime, 1848 are also newly recorded in Korea. The specimens were collected from the subtidal zones of Jeju-do Island, Korea by SCUBA diving from 1991 to 2007. Leptoseris mycetoseroides is characterized by its platelike growth form, intratentacular budding, irregularly developed collines, single styliform columella, and even septa and septocostae. Phyllangia hayamaensis is distinguished by its encrusting and plocoid growth form of corallites basally united with common coenosteum, trabecular columella, and irregular septal arrangements and paliform lobes.

The present study was carried out to elucidate whether an environmental strain of Cryptococcus neoformans (environmental C. neoformans) isolated from an environmental source in a park of Busan has an acute pathophysiological effect in rats. On the second day after peritoneal inoculation of environmental C. neoformans, adverse effects occurred from the viewpoint of hematology and biochemistry. Eosinophil damages and crystal formations were found in the blood. Disturbances in cytokines production were observed in the cerebral and pulmonary tissues. Fungal budding existed in the brain, lung, liver and kidney. Tissue injury findings such as inflammation, leukocyte infiltration, bleeding, or degeneration were found in the brain, lung, liver and kidney. The present data suggest that the environmental C. neoformans can cause systematically harmful effects even for short periods of infection (two days of cryptococcal infection) and the adverse effects are summarized as immune derangements and biochemical and/or histological dysfunction and injury on major organ such as the brain, lung, liver and kidney in the immunocompetent hosts. Further studies should be focused on comparing the differences between environmental and clinical strains of C. neoformans.

Powdery mildew symptoms were frequently on plants of goat's-beard (Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus) found cultivated in the island Ulleungdo in June 2008. The symptoms appeared as powdery mycelial colonies and dark brown cleistothecia on leaves, petioles, stems and budding flowers of the plant. Incidence of the disease was as high as 50-80% in the goat's-beard fields. Specimens of the diseased plants were collected and examined for morphological characteristics of the causal fungus. On the basis of morphological characteristics of the conidial stage and the teleomorph, the fungus was identified as Podosphaera ferruginea. This is the first report of goat's-beard powdery mildew caused by Podosphaera ferruginea in Korea.

A new structure learning approach for Bayesian networks based on asexual reproduction optimization (ARO) is proposed in this paper. ARO can be considered an evolutionary-based algorithm that mathematically models the budding mechanism of asexual reproduction. In ARO, a parent produces a bud through a reproduction operator; thereafter, the parent and its bud compete to survive according to a performance index obtained from the underlying objective function of the optimization problem: This leads to the fitter individual. The convergence measure of ARO is analyzed. The proposed method is applied to real-world and benchmark applications, while its effectiveness is demonstrated through computer simulations. Results of simulations show that ARO outperforms genetic algorithm (GA) because ARO results in a good structure and fast convergence rate in comparison with GA.

Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb extracellular materials via the inward budding of vesicles formed from the plasma membrane. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a highly selective process where receptors with specific binding sites for extracellular molecules internalize via vesicles. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest single family of plasma-membrane receptors with more than 1000 family members. But the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of GPCRs are believed to be highly conserved. For example, receptor phosphorylation in collaboration with ${\beta}$-arrestins plays major roles in desensitization and endocytosis of most GPCRs. Nevertheless, a number of subsequent studies showed that GPCR regulation, such as that by endocytosis, occurs through various pathways with a multitude of cellular components and processes. This review focused on i) functional interactions between homologous and heterologous pathways, ii) methodologies applied for determining receptor endocytosis, iii) experimental tools to determine specific endocytic routes, iv) roles of small guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins in GPCR endocytosis, and v) role of post-translational modification of the receptors in endocytosis.

The yeast Candida albicans has a distinguishing feature, dimorphism, which is the ability to switch between two morphological forms: a budding yeast form and a multicellular invasive filamentous form. This ability has been postulated to contribute to the virulence of this organism. Previously, we reported that the yeast-to-hypha transition in this organism is suppressed by farnesoic acid, a morphogenic autoregulatory substance that accumulates in the medium as the cells proliferate. In this study, using a differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) technique, we have identified several genes induced in C. albicans by farnesoic acid treatment. These observations indicate that farnesoic acid can alter the expressivity of multiple genes, including the DNA replication machinery and cell-cycle-control proteins.
