To isolate ergot strains which are capable of growing and producing alkaloids in submerged culture, strains were isolated from the sclerotia parasitizing the Graminae plants in Korea and the experiments of submerged culture of these strains yielded the following results: 1) The mycelia which were respectively isolated from the sclerotia parasitizing Agropyron semicostatum $N_{EES}$, Arundinella hirta $T_{ANAKA}$ var. ciliata $K_{OIDSUMI}$, Ischaemum anthephoroides $M_{IQ}$. var. eriostachyum $H_{ONDA}$, and Phleum pretense L. grew in Medium D by submerged culture. 2) When the strain of the ergot of Agropyron semicostatum was inoculated into six different nutrient solutions for submerged culture, its mycelium grew well in Media C, D and F, but produced alkaloids only in Medium C, indicating that Medium C is relatively suitable for the strain. 3) The extraction of the alkaloids from the culture broth by ether and T.L.C. analysis of the extract showed that it contained at least two types of alkaloids.

국내 주요 배추재배단지 6곳을 정하여 토양 샘플에서 무름병균을 용균할 수 있는 bacteriophage를 분리하였다. 여름배추를 재배하는 평창과 태백의 토양 샘플에서 국내에서 분리한 15개의 다른 무름병균을 기주로 파지를 분리한 결과 태백의 토양은 다양한 병원균을 기주로 증폭하는 반면 평창의 파지는 두 종류의 균에서만 증폭이 되어 매우 좁은 기주 범위를 가졌다. 무름병균 P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum Pcc3의 균주는 거의 모든 토양 샘플에서 파지를 증폭할 수 있어 앞으로 파지를 이용한 무름병균 예찰 균주로 사용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여 주었다. 국내 무름병균을 용균할 수 있는 파지는 Myoviridae, Podoviridae, Siphoviridae 세 종류로 밝혀 졌으며 국내 거의 전 지역에서 Siphoviridae가 분리되었다.

In this study, we characterized the bacterial strain KJ2C12 in relation with its biocontrol activity against Phytophthora capsici on pepper, and identified this strain using morphological, physiological, biochemical, fatty acid methyl ester, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. Strain KJ2C12 significantly (P=0.05) reduced both final disease severity and areas under the disease progress curves of 5-week-old pepper plants inoculated with P. capsici compared to buffer-treated controls. As for the production of antibiotics, biofilms, biosurfactant, extracellular enzyme, HCN, and swarming activity, strain KJ2C12 produced an extracellular enzyme with protease activity, but no other productions or swarming activity. However, Escherichia coli produced weak biofilm only. Strain KJ2C12 could colonize pepper roots more effectively in a gnotobiotic system using sterile quartz sand compared to E. coli over 4 weeks after treatments. However, no bacterial populations were detected in 10 mM $MgSO_4$ buffer-treated controls. Strain KJ2C12 produced significantly higher microbial activity than the $MgSO_4$-treated control or E. coli over 4 weeks after treatments. Bacterial strain KJ2C12 was identified as Bacillus luciferensis based on morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics as well as FAME and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. In addition, these results suggested that B. luciferensis strain KJ2C12 could reduce Phytophthora blight of pepper by protecting infection courts through enhanced effective root colonization with protease production and an increase of soil microbial activity.

During the fermentation process of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, yeast cells must rapidly respond to a wide variety of external stresses in order to survive the constantly changing environment, including ethanol stress. The accumulation of ethanol can severely inhibit cell growth activity and productivity. Thus, the response to changing ethanol concentrations is one of the most important stress reactions in S. cerevisiae and worthy of thorough investigation. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between ethanol tolerance in S. cerevisiae and a unique protein called alcohol sensitive RING/PHD finger 1 protein (Asr1p). A real-time PCR showed that upon exposure to 8% ethanol, the expression of Asr1 was continuously enhanced, reaching a peak 2 h after stimulation. This result was confirmed by monitoring the fluorescence levels using a strain with a green fluorescent protein tagged to the C-terminal of Asr1p. The fluorescent microscopy also revealed a change in the subcellular localization before and after stimulation. Furthermore, the disruption of the Asr1 gene resulted in hypersensitivity on the medium containing ethanol, when compared with the wild-type strain. Thus, when taken together, the present results suggest that Asr1 is involved in the response to ethanol stress in the yeast S. cerevisiae.

The induction of growth promotion on numerous crops by rhizobacteria is a well documented phenomenon. In case of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), fruit yield is higher in replant soil than that in fresh soil. To investigate what kind of rhizobacterium is involved, microbial community in rhizosphere and on rhizoplane of tomato plants from each soil was analyzed by dilution plating on selective media. Many Gram-negative bacteria and actinomycetes were isolated from tomato in replant soil. One Gram-negative rhizobacterium isolated was identified as Pseudomonas putida based on its biochemical characteristics, fatty acid methyl ester analysis and 16S rDNA sequence. This bacterium designated strain 17 inhibited the growth of Pseudomonas corrugata, and increased growth of tomato seedlings. In addition, its culture filtrate inhibited conidial germination of plant-pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici, F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, and Nectria radicicola. Scanning electron microscopy revealed strain 17 colonized and persisted on the epidermal surfaces of tomato radicles and roots. These results suggest that P. putida strain 17 may serve as a biological control agent to suppress multiple soil-borne diseases for tomato plants. Increased microbial populations that suppress deleterious microorganisms including pathogens could be one of the major factors in increased tomato yield in replant soil.

본 연구에서는 단일반응조에서 포기/비포기 시간에 따른 하수 내 유기물질 및 질소화합물을 변화양상을 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험 결과 C/N비 3 : 1, 포기/비포기 20/40 min 구간에서부터 90% 이상의 안정적인 유기물 및 질소 제거가 이루어짐을 알 수 있었다. 포기/비포기 구간의 비율을 길게 유지하는 것이 탈질에 더욱 효과적이었으며 이는 비포기 구간을 유지하는 동안 반응조 내 미생물의 군집변화에 기인하는 것으로 판단하였다. PCR-DGGE를 한 결과, 유기물 및 질소화합물의 산화에 관여하는 미생물로 Dysgonomonas mossii strain Melo40, Eubacterium sp. oral clone JN088, Uncultured bacterium clone SPESB2_718과 Bacterium enrichment culture clone LE이 관찰되었고 탈질에 관여하는 미생물은 Uncultured Acidobacteria bacterium clone AKYG487, Lactobacillus harbinensis strain FQ003, Erythrobacter litoralis strain Gi-3, Phytobacter diazotrophicus strain Ls8, Mycobacterium sp. enrichment culture clone GE10037biofNNA로 나타났다.

The present study describes the formation of succinic acid by a nonvirulent, highly osmotolerant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain SAP (succinic acid producer), its profile of metabolites, and enzymes of the succinate production pathway. The strain produced succinate along with other metabolites such as lactate, acetate, and ethanol under aerobic as well as anaerobic growth conditions. The yield of succinate was higher in the presence of $MgCO_3$ under $N_2$ atmosphere as compared with that under $CO_2$ atmosphere. Analysis of intracellular metabolites showed the presence of a smaller PEP pool than that of pyruvate. Oxaloacetate, citrate, and $\alpha$-ketoglutarate pools were considerably larger than those of isocitrate and fumarate. In order to understand the synthesis of succinate, the enzymes involved in end-product formation were studied. Levels of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fumarate reductase, pyruvate kinase, and acetate kinase were higher under anaerobic growth conditions. Based on the profiles of the metabolites and enzymes, it was concluded that the synthesis of succinate took place via oxaloacetate, malate, and fumarate in the strain under anaerobic growth conditions. The strain SAP showed potential for the bioconversion of fumarate to succinate under $N_2$ atmosphere in the presence of $MgCO_3$. At an initial fumarate concentration of 10 g/l, 7.1 g/l fumarate was converted to 7 g/l succinate with a molar conversion efficiency of 97.3%. The conversion efficiency and succinate yield were increased in the presence of glucose. Cells grown on fumarate contained an 18-fold higher fumarate reductase activity as compared with the activity obtained when grown on glucose.
