1990년부터 1996년에 걸쳐 전국 35개 골프장에서 한지형잔디인 creeping bentgrass, Kentucky bluegrass 그리고 난지형잔디인 zoysiagyass의 잎마름 증상으로부터 Pythium spp. 125균주를 분리 하였고, 이를 동정한 결과 P. aphanidermatum, p. arrhenomanes, P. catenulatum, p. gramlnicola, p. myriotylum, P. oligandrum, P. periplocum, P. rostratum, P. torulosum, P. ultimum Trow var. ultimum 그리고 P. vanterpoolii로 모두 11개 종으로 동정되었다. 본 실험에서 사용한 semi-solid 상태의 'sucrose-asparagine bentgrass leaf culture' 방법을 이용할 경우 Pythium spp.의 동정에 필요한 포자낭, 장란기, 장정기 그리고 난포자의 형태적 특징의 관찰이 용이하였다. 동정된 Pythium spp.는 국내에서는 잔디류에 대하여 처음 보고되는 것이고, 이 중에서 P. arrhenomunes, P. cutenulatum, P. graminioota, P. oligandrum, P. periplocum, P. rostratum, P. torulosum 그리고 P. vanterpoolii는 국내에서 처음 보고되는 미기록종이다. P. myriotylum, P. rostratum, P. torulosum, P. vanterpoolii의 경우는 PCA 배지상에서 특이한 균사생장형을 나타내므로 이를 균 동정에 이용할 수 있었다.

Eleven species of Pythium were isolated from leaf blight symptoms on creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustirs Huds.), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratenisis L.) and zoysiagrasses (Zoysia japonica Steud., and Z. matrella (L.) Merr.) planted on golf courses in Korea. Mycelial growth on potato carrot agar medium under various temperature conditions indicated that Pythium species obtained in this study could be divided into four groups based on their responses to temperature conditions. P. vanterpoolii was found to favor low temperature conditions with the optimum temperature of $25^{\circ}$, whereas P. aphanidermatum and P. myriotylum favored relatively high temperature conditions with the optimum temperature of $35^{\circ}$. Other species including P. arrhenomanes, P. catenulatum, P. graminicola, P. oligandrum, P. rostratum, P. torulosum, and P. ultimum were the intermediate group with the optimum temperature of 25~$35^{\circ}$. P. periplocum was similar to the intermediate group but the minimum temperature for its mycelial growth was $15^{\circ}$, which was approximately $5^{\circ}$ above that for the intermediate Pythium spp.group. In the pathogenicity tests conducted in the lab using potted plants, P. aphanidermatum, P.a arrhenomanes, P. catenulatum, P. graminicola, P. myriotylum, P. periplocum, P. rostratum, P. torulosum, P. ultimum, and P. vanterpoolii were found to be pathogenic to creeping bentgrass and Kentucky bluegrass. P. aphanidermatum, P. catenulatum, and P. graminicola were frequently isolated from leaf blight symptoms of creeping bentgrass and Kentucky bluegrass in golf courses during the warm and humid periods in July-August. On the other hand, P. vanterpoolii and P. torulosum were frequently isolated during the cool and humid periods in March-May, suggesting both species might be the major causes of leaf blight occurring in the spring time. Zoysiagrass was susceptible to P. arrhenomanes and the heterothallic Pythium sp. (Ht-F), showing stem and crown rot of turf-grasses at poorly drained areas under coool and humid or rainy conditions. P. oligandrum and the heterothallic Pythium sp. (Ht-L) isolated from creeping bentgrass were avirulent to all species of turfgrasses tested in this study.

Mechanol extracts of three cold-tolerant eucalyptus trees-Eucalyptus darlympleana, E. gunnii and E. unigera were screened for antimicrobial activity against twenty two phyto-pathogenic fungi and six food-borne bacterial pathogens. E. unigera showed the antagonistic activity against all the tested pathogens. Among the tested fungal pathogens, Pythium species were highly sensitive to the leaf extracts. Especially, P. vanterpoolii, a causal agent of leaf blight in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris), was completely inhibited by the extracts. The eucalyptus extracts were also effective in inhibiting the fungal growth of Botrytis cinerea and Phomopsis sp. isolated from the lesions of kiwifruit soft rot during post-harvest storage. Escherichia coli O-157 was less sensitive to the inhibition than the other bacterial pathogens tested. It was likely that Gram positive bacteria-Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus mutans were more sensitive to the eucalyptus extracts than Gram negative bacteria-Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Our findings suggest that the cold-tolerant eucalyptus species have antimicrobial properties that can serve the development of novel fungitoxic agents or food preservatives.
