활주운동은 편모의 작용없이 고체의 표면을 미끄러지듯이 이동하는 박테리아의 운동방식으로 분류학상 다양한 종의 박테리아에서 발견된다. 지금까지 밝혀진 바에 의하면 활주 운동은 type IV pili(Tfp)를 필요로 하는 경우와 이를 필요로 하지 않는 두 가지로 크게 구분될 수 있는데, Tfp를 필요로 하는 경우에는 T룰의 확장과 수축에 의해 이루어지는 twitching motility와 운동기작이 흡사할 것으로 추정된다 Tfp를 필요로 하지 않는 활주운동에 대해서는 여러 다양한 모델이 제시되었는데, 이중 한 모델은 활주박테리아가 점액을 분출함으로서 추진력을 얻어 앞으로 진행한다는 설명이며, 다른 모델들은 외벽에 세포 전체를 감싸는 운동기구가 존재한다는 것이다. 이와 같이 활주운동은 일반적으로 잘 알려진 편모에 의한 운동과는 전혀 다른 운동방식에 의해 이루어지는데, 그 작용 기작이 매우 흥미로운 반면에 많은 부분들이 풀어야 될 숙제로 남아있어 앞으로의 연구결과들이 기대된다.

A novel gene (agiA) required for adventurous gliding motility in Myxococcus xanthus has been identified. Null mutations in this gene caused defects in the gliding movement of isolated cells, suggesting that it belongs to one of the A-motility genes. The isolated agiA mutant cells neither glided nor produced slime trails on agar surface. However, agiA was different from other known A-motility genes in that the agiA mutant created in the $S^-$ mutant background glided in the swarm of cells, since other known A-motility mutants created in the $S^-$ mutant background do not move in the swarm of cells. The agiA mutant was also defective in fruiting body development. Sequence analysis predicted that agiA encodes a 787-amino-acid protein with eight tripeptide repeat motifs.

섬유소 자화세균의 분리 및 이용과정에서 혼합배양하므로써 균체증식이 향상 되었는데, 이러한 혼합배양에 따른 여러 가지 영향과 보조균을 동정한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) Cellulomona flavigena의 단독배양에서는 O.D.가 0.26이였으나, 보조균과 혼합배양하므로써 O.D.가 0.37로 증가하였다. 2) 보조균은 gliding motility가 있었으며, microcyst가 확인되었는데 이것은 Sporocytophga 속과 일치하였다. 3) 혼합배양에서 생육최적 pH는 7.2 부근이 좋았으며, 최적온도는 3$0^{\circ}C$ 부근이었다. 4) 혼합배양에 있어서 두 균의 분포도는 10 : 1 정도로 Cellulomonas flavigena가 주로 분포되어 있었다. 5) Cellulomonas flavigena의 growth factor로서 thiamine과 biotin을 요구하였으며, Sporocytophaga sp.는 vitamin 요구성이 없었다. 6) Cellulomonas flavigena의 단독배양액에서는 추적할 만한 glucose 량이 없었으나, 혼합배양에서는 glucose가 확인되었다. 7) Cellulomonas flavigena의 균체중 필수아미노산으로 valine, leucine, arginime이 비교적 많은 편이였다

Low molecular weight carbohydrates, phycobilin pigments and cell structure using light and transmission electron microscopy were used to describe a new genus of unicellular red algae, Erythrolobus coxiae (Porphyridiales, Porphyrideophyceae, Rhodophyta). The nucleus of Erythrolobus is located at the cell periphery and the pyrenoid, enclosed by a cytoplasmic starch sheath, is in the cell center. The pyrenoid matrix contains branched tubular thylakoids and four or more chloroplast lobes extend from the pyrenoid along the cell periphery. A peripheral encircling thylakoid is absent. The Golgi apparatus faces outward at the cell periphery and is always associated with a mitochondrion. Porphyridium and Flintiella, the other members of the Porphyrideophyceae, also lack a peripheral encircling thylakoid and have an ER-mitochondria-Golgi association. The low molecular weight carbohydrates digeneaside and floridoside are present, unlike both Porphyridium and Flintiella, which have only floridoside. The phycobilin pigments B-phycoerythrin, R-phycocyanin and allophycocyanin are present, similar to Porphyridium purpureum. The cells have a slow gliding motility without changing shape and do not require substrate contact. The ultrastructural features are unique to members of the Porphyrideophyceae and recent molecular analyses clearly establish the validity of this new red algal class and the genus Erythrolobus.

Porphyra pulchella sp. nov. Ackland, West, Scott and Zuccarello was obtained at Mimosa Rock National Park, New South Wales; Westgate Bridge, Victoria, Australia; and Waihau Bay, North Island, New Zealand. It occurs mainly in mangrove habitats and is very small (± 1 mm) in field collections. In laboratory culture at 21 ± 2°C tiny blades (0.5-3.0 mm) reproduced exclusively by archeospores liberated from vegetative cells of the upper sector of the blades. The archeospores displayed amoeboid and gliding motility once discharged. At 14 ± 2°C the blades grew to 25 mm and produced longitudinal spermatangial streaks mixed with ‘phyllosporangial’ streaks. The discharged ‘phyllospores’ showed amoeboid motility and germinated forming asexual blades. A conchocelis phase with typical bangiophycidean pit connections was observed in blade cultures after 8-10 weeks at 14 ± 2°C. Conchocelis filaments produced conchosporangia and these released amoeboid conchospores that developed into archeosporangiate blades. Molecular data indicate that all 3 isolates are genetically identical.

Flavobacterium johnsoniae was isolated from farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss in Korea, and its biochemical and molecular characterization was determined. Yellow-pigmented bacterial colonies were isolated from 18 of 64 fish samples (28.1%) on trypticase soy agar plates, and their biochemical profiles were characterized by API 20E and API 20NE test kits. F. johnsoniae was identified by biochemical phenotyping of factors including rapid gliding motility, Gram-negative condition, oxidase- and catalase-positive status, Congo red absorption, nitrate reduction, ${\beta}$-galactosidase production, acid production from glucose, and gelatin and casein hydrolysis. PCR and subsequent sequencing of 16S rRNA confirmed that the yellow-pigmented colonies were most similar to F. johnsoniae. The alignment analysis of 16S rRNA sequences also showed that all 18 rainbow trout isolates had highly similar homologies (97-99% identity). One isolate was selected and named FjRt09. This isolate showed 98% homology with previously reported F. johnsoniae isolates, and in phylogenetic analysis was more closely grouped with F. johnsoniae than with F. psychrophilum, F. columnare, or F. branchiophilum. This is the first report on the occurrence and biochemical characterization of F. johnsoniae isolated from rainbow trout in Korea.
