The influence of eating habits and food type on the ultrastructural characteristics of the digestive tracts was studied under the scanning and transmission electron microscopes in two crustacean decapods (Hemigrapsus penicillatus De Haan; mud crab, Pinnotheres cyclinus Shen; symbiotic crab). The relative ratio of the length of midgut versus hindgut was 1:1 in the mud crab, but 4:1 in the symbiotic crab. Observation through the scanning electron microscope revealed that the midguts of both species have densely-arranged longitudinal mucosal folds with a smooth surface. In the hindgut of the mud crab, mucosal folds were longitudinally oriented, clusters of two to five spines were observed on the cuticular surface, and the length of the spine in the distal hindgut was longer than that in the proximal portion. In the symbiotic crab, the mucosal folds were irregulary arranged, and numerous rudimentary spinal structures were noted on the cuticular surface. Through observation of a transmission electron microscope, the epithelial cells of the midgut in both species had numerous microvilli, but the length of the microvilli was slightly longer in the mud crab than in the symbiotic crab. The central layer of the basement membrane and the muscular layer of the midgut were more developed in the mud crab than in the symbiotic crab. The thickness of the cuticular layer over the hindgut surface in the mud crab was about 4 times than that of the symbiotic crab.

Sponges are host organisms for various symbiotic microorganisms such as archaea, bacteria, cyano-bacteria and microalgae. Sponges are also sources of a wide variety of useful natural products like cyto-toxins. antifouling agents, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory and antiviral compounds, Symbiotic microorganisms is sponges can be sources of various natural products, because metabolites previously ascribed to sponges have recently been demonstrated to be biosynthesized by symbionts. If a symbiotic microorganisms from which some natural products are derived can be cultured, the microorganism could be used in a mass production of the bioactive comopounds. We summarize recent research on iso-lation and cultivation of sponge-symbiotic microorganisms and the symbiotic relationship.

The excretion of ammonia and glutamine synthetase activities were measured in aposymbiotic Paramecium and symbiotic Paramecium. The uptake of nitrate and ammonia, and specific enzyme activities of nitrate reductase, glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase were investigated in symbiotic Chlorella from Paramecium bursaria and Chlorella ellipsoidea. The ammonia concentration in the culture media of aposymbiotic Paramecium was increased according to the growth of the Paramecium but it was not changed in symbiotic Paramecium. Nitrate, the major nitrogen source, was taken up at a rate of 0.635 nmol/ 106 Chlorella/hr in Chlorella ellipsoidea. Most of ammonia was assimilated to glutamine by glutamine synthetase, of which acitivty was 1,467 $\mu$mol/mg protein/min in Chlorella elliposidea. Contrary to Chlorella ellipsoidea, ammonia and glutamine transported from the Paramecium were the nitrogen source of symbiotic Chlorella and ammonia was taken up at a rate of 3.854 nmo./106 Chlorella/hr into synmbiotic Chlorella. Most of ammonia were assimilated to glutamate by glutamate dehydrogenase in symbiotic Chlorella. The glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH/NADH) activity was 0.851 $\mu$mol/mg protein/min.

Symbiotic evolutionary algorithms are stochastic search algorithms that imitate the biological coevolution process through symbiotic interactions. In the algorithms, the fitness evaluation of an individual requires first selecting symbiotic partners of the individual. The symbiotic partner effects the change of individual's fitness and search direction. In this study we are to analyze how much partnering strategies can influence the performance of the algorithms. For this goal extensive experiments are carried out to compare the performance of partnering strategies. The NKC model and the binary string covering problem are used as the test-bed problems. The experimental results indicate that there does not exist statistically significant difference in their performance.

Resonance doublets including O VI 1032, 1038, NV 1239, 1243 and C IV 1548, 1551 constitute prominent emission lines in symbiotic stars and planetary nebulae. Spectroscopic studies of symbiotic stars and planetary nebulae from UV space telescopes show various line ratios of these doublets deviating from the theoretical ratio of 2:1. Using a Monte Carlo technique, we investigate the collisional de-excitation effect in these emission nebulae. We consider an emission nebula around the hot component of a symbiotic star characterized by the collisional de-excitation probability $p_{coll}\;{\sim}\;10^{-3}\;-\;10^{-4}$ per each resonance scattering, and the line center optical depths for major resonance doublets in the range ${\tau}_0\;{\sim}\;10^2\;-\;10^5$. We find that various line ratios are obtained when the product $p_{coll}{\tau}_0$ is of order unity. Our Monte Carlo calculations show that the flux ratio can be approximately fitted by a linear function of ${\log}{\tau}_0$ when ${\tau}_0p_{coll}\;{\sim}\;1$. It is briefly discussed that this corresponds to the range relevant to the emission nebulae of symbiotic stars.

Some symbiotic characteristics of native Korean Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae were analysed to get some informations desirable for cultivation of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) using its symbiont in Korea. The size of indigenous populations of R. leguminosarum biovar viciae was higher in seven upland soils showing $1.7{\times}10^2{\sim}5.8{\times}10^4cells\;g{\cdot}soil^{-1}$, which appeared to be 10% and 37% higher for cultivated and uncultivated soils of hairy vetch, respectively, than seven paddy soils with $1.7{\times}10^2{\sim}1.7{\times}10^4cells\;g{\cdot}soil^{-1}$. In symbiotic potentials, however, the yields of hairy vetch treated with 10-fold-diluted ($10^{-1}$) inoculum and 1000-fold-diluted ($10^{-3}$) one was 11.2% and 8.8% more, respectively, in paddy than upland. Hairy vetch inoculated with either strain KHR 106 from Sacheon or strain KHR 120 from Yesan among native Korean R. leguminosarum biovar viciae isolates was of similar yield increment of 16% (p < 0.05) in upland soils with native R. leguminosarum biovar viciae of $5.8{\times}10cells\;g{\cdot}soil^{-1}$. In case of coinoculation of the two strains, however, the yields was not significantly increased. In especial, isolate KHR 106, KHR 120, and KHR 122 from Suwon, which has also good symbiotic effectiveness, showed different protein profile patterns each other. As a result, hairy vetch is possibly able to use atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic relationship with diverse native R. leguminosarum biovar viciae in Korean arable lands. For safe and good production of hairy, however, the use of superior strains with high symbiotic effectiveness and competitiveness will be desirable.

간척년도가 다른 두 간척지의 고등식물 근권에 존재하는 arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF)의 포자밀도, 공생강도 및 소포밀도, 그리고 숙주식물인 산조풀, 띠, 비쑥, 갯개미취 및 사데풀의 식물량과 그외의 요소인, 토양의 전기전도도와 Zn 함량 및 식물체속 아연의 함량 등을 조사하여 AMF의 생물학적 특성과 식물의 아연 흡수에 미치는 AMF 공생활성의 영향 등을 연구하였다. 간척지 식물을 토양의 염분함량에 따라 분류하면 염생식물, 임의염생식물, 중성식물의 순으로 AMF 공생활성이 높았고 생활형으로 분류하면 1, 2, 다년 생식물로 감에 따라 AMF 공생활성이 높았다. AMF 공생활성의 계절 변화는 포자밀도가 고등식물의 생육말기부터 봄까지 커짐으로써 가을에 번식함은 알았고, 공생률은 봄, 여름에 높았고 가을에 낮았다. AMF의 공생활성인 포자밀도와 공생강도 사이는 높은 양의 상관이 나타났지만 소포밀도와 포자밀도 또는 소포밀도와 공생강도 사이에는 상관이 없었다. 식물량과 AMF 포자밀도 또는 공생강도 사이에는 높은 양의 상관이 나타났고, 식물량과 소포밀도 사이에는 뚜렷한 상관이 없었다. 이 결과로 간척지의 식물량은 AMF 공생에 의하여 증가되고 포자밀도와 공생강도가 AMF 공생활성의 중요한 척도임을 알았다. 아연 흡수는 AMF 공생활성이 높은 식물이 낮은 식물에 비하여 보다 많은 양을 흡수하였다.

The relationship of Paramecium bursaria with its symbiiotic Chlorella was studied in the view-point of photosynthesis and its product movement. The following results were obtained. In 1/10 dilution of bacterized medium green Paramecium grew and survived better than colorless Paramecium. P. bursaria was competitively related to its symbiotic algae as far as the change of total chlorophyll contents was concerned. Therefore, in continuous darkness total chlorophyll contents of green Paramecia decreased proportionally to the time course. Under the condition, on the other hand, that the bacterized medium was not replenished over 10 days, total chlorophyll contents in P. bursaria increased by over 2 times as much as those in normal condition. By means of Oxygen Diometer it was assured that green Paramecium was able to utilize thoitic the great part of oxygen evolved photosynthetically by its symbiotic algae. Also when was given many starch grains were found in symbiotic chlorella through electron micrography. These data suggested that P. bursaria was photosynthetically given lots of benifit by its symbiotic chlorella.

남해안에 서식하는 왕우럭의 공생성 요각류 3종의 감염률에 대한 계절 변동을 연구하였다. 계절에 따라서 감염률과 출현량의 차이를 보였으며, 겨울철에 높게 출현하였다. 요각류의 출현 양상에 따른 생산력은 성숙한 요각류의 비율이 높아지면서 초가을과 봄에 높게 나타났다. 공생성 요각류 3종의 출현 빈도는 숙주의 개체군이 성장할 수 있는 서식 조건에 따른 적합한 환경이 되어야 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 공생성 요각류의 계절에 따른 감염률, 상대 감염강도, 평균 감염밀도는 수온과 그들의 생활사에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.
