Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disease of endocrine–metabolic disorder, and its etiology remains largely
unknown. The gut microbiota is possibly involved in PCOS, while the association remains unclear. The comprehensive analysis
combining gut microbiota with PCOS typical symptoms was performed to analyze the role of gut microbiota in PCOS in
this study. The clinical patients and letrozole-induced animal models were determined on PCOS indexes and gut microbiota,
and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was conducted. Results indicated that the animal models displayed typical PCOS
symptoms, including disordered estrous cycles, elevated testosterone levels, and ovarian morphological change; meanwhile,
the symptoms were improved after FMT. Furthermore, the microbial diversity exhibited disordered, and the abundance of
the genus Ruminococcus and Lactobacillus showed a consistent trend in PCOS rats and patients. The microbiota diversity
and several key genera were restored subjected to FMT, and correlation analysis also supported relevant conclusions. Moreover,
LEfSe analysis showed that Gemmiger, Flexispira, and Eubacterium were overrepresented in PCOS groups. Overall,
the results indicate the involvement of gut microbiota in PCOS and its possible alleviation of endocrinal and reproductive
dysfunctions through several special bacteria taxa, which can function as the biomarker or potential target for diagnosis and
treatment. These results can provide the new insights for treatment and prevention strategies of PCOS.

Abstract

The global public health burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is intensified by Gram-negative bacteria,
which have an additional membrane, the outer membrane (OM), outside of the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall. Bacterial twocomponent
systems (TCSs) aid in maintaining envelope integrity through a phosphorylation cascade by controlling gene
expression through sensor kinases and response regulators. In Escherichia coli, the major TCSs defending cells from envelope
stress and adaptation are Rcs and Cpx, which are aided by OM lipoproteins RcsF and NlpE as sensors, respectively. In
this review, we focus on these two OM sensors. β-Barrel assembly machinery (BAM) inserts transmembrane OM proteins
(OMPs) into the OM. BAM co-assembles RcsF, the Rcs sensor, with OMPs, forming the RcsF-OMP complex. Researchers
have presented two models for stress sensing in the Rcs pathway. The first model suggests that LPS perturbation stress
disassembles the RcsF-OMP complex, freeing RcsF to activate Rcs. The second model proposes that BAM cannot assemble
RcsF into OMPs when the OM or PG is under specific stresses, and thus, the unassembled RcsF activates Rcs. These two
models may not be mutually exclusive. Here, we evaluate these two models critically in order to elucidate the stress sensing
mechanism. NlpE, the Cpx sensor, has an N-terminal (NTD) and a C-terminal domain (CTD). A defect in lipoprotein trafficking
results
in NlpE retention in the inner membrane, provoking the Cpx response. Signaling requires the NlpE NTD, but
not the NlpE CTD; however, OM-anchored NlpE senses adherence to a hydrophobic surface, with the NlpE CTD playing
a key role in this function.

Indoor fungi obtain carbon sources from natural sources and even recalcitrant biodegradable materials, such as plastics
and synthetic dye. Their vigorous activity may have negative consequences, such as structural damage to building materials
or the destruction of precious cultural materials. The animal specimen room of the Seoul National University stocked
36,000 animal resources that had been well-maintained for over 80 years. Due to abandonment without the management of
temperature and humidity during the rainy summer season, many stuffed animal specimens had been heavily colonized by
fungi. To investigate the fungal species responsible for the destruction of the historical specimens, we isolated fungi from
the stuffed animal specimens and identified them at the species level based on morphology and molecular analysis of the
β-tubulin (BenA) gene. A total of 365 strains were isolated and identified as 26 species in Aspergillus (10 spp.), Penicillium
(14 spp.), and Talaromyces (2 spp.). Penicillium brocae and Aspergillus sydowii were isolated from most sections of the animal
specimens and have damaged the feathers and beaks of valuable specimens. Our findings indicate that within a week of
mismanagement, it takes only a few fungal species to wipe out the decades of history of animal diversity. The important lesson
here is to prevent this catastrophe from occurring again through a continued interest, not to put all previous efforts to waste.

Abstract

Oligopeptides with functional activities are of current interest
in the nutraceutical and medical sectors. The development of
the biosynthetic process of oligopeptides through a nonribosomal
peptide synthetase (NRPS) system has become more
challenging. To develop a production platform for nonribosomal
peptides (NRPs), reprogramming of transcriptional
regulation of the acv gene encoded ACV synthetase (ACVS)
was implemented in Aspergillus oryzae using the CRISPRCas9
system. Awakening silent acv expression was successfully
achieved by promoter substitution. Among the three exchanged
promoters, AoPgpdA, AoPtef1, and PtPtoxA, the
replacement of the native promoter with AoPgpdA led to the
highest ACV production in A. oryzae. However, the ACV production
of the AoPGpdA strain was also dependent on the
medium composition, in which urea was the best nitrogen
source, and a C:N ratio of 20:1 was optimal for tripeptide production.
In addition to cell growth, magnesium ions are an
essential element for ACV production and might participate
in ACVS activity. It was also found that ACV was the growthassociated
product of the engineered strain that might be a
result
of constitutive transcriptional control by the AoPgpdA
promoter. This study offers a potential strategy for nonribosomal
ACV production using the fungal system, which is applicable
for redesigning bioactive oligopeptides with industrial
relevance.

Enterovirus A71 (EV71), the main etiological agent of handfoot-
mouth disease (HFMD), circulates in many areas of the
world and has caused large epidemics since 1997, especially
in the Asia-Pacific region. In this study, we determined the
full-genome sequence of CMC718, a newly isolated EV71
strain in Korea. The CMC718 genome was 7,415 nucleotides
in length and was confirmed by whole-genome phylogenetic
analysis to belong to the B5 genotype. In particular, CMC718
demonstrated maximum identity with strain M988 of the B5
genotype and numerous amino acid variants were detected
in the 3D domain of the viral protein P3, which is consistent
with the mutation pattern of a B5 strain isolated in 2012–2013.
Comparison of the CMC718 sequence with other EV71 reference
strains confirmed the relationship and genetic variation
of CMC718. Our study was a full-genome sequence analysis
of the first EV71 strain of the B5 genotype isolated in
South Korea. This information will be a valuable reference
for the development of methods for the detection of recombinant
viruses, the tracking of infections, and the diagnosis
of EV71.

The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) belongs to the Alphavirus
genus of Togaviridae family and contains a positive-sense
single stranded RNA genome. Infection by this virus mainly
causes sudden high fever, rashes, headache, and severe joint
pain that can last for several months or years. CHIKV, a mosquito-
borne arbovirus, is considered a re-emerging pathogen
that has become one of the most pressing global health
concerns due to a rapid increase in epidemics. Because handling
of CHIKV is restricted to Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) facilities,
the evaluation of prophylactic vaccines or antivirals
has been substantially hampered. In this study, we first identified
the whole structural polyprotein sequence of a CHIKV
strain isolated in South Korea (KNIH/2009/77). Phylogenetic
analysis showed that this sequence clustered within the East/
Central/South African CHIKV genotype. Using this sequence
information, we constructed a CHIKV-pseudotyped lentivirus
expressing the structural polyprotein of the Korean
CHIKV isolate (CHIKVpseudo) and dual reporter genes of
green fluorescence protein and luciferase. We then developed
a pseudovirus-based neutralization assay (PBNA) using
CHIKVpseudo. Results from this assay compared to those
from the conventional plaque reduction neutralization test
showed that our PBNA was a reliable and rapid method to
evaluate the efficacy of neutralizing antibodies. More importantly,
the neutralizing activities of human sera from CHIKVinfected
individuals were quantitated by PBNA using CHIKVpseudo.
Taken together, these results suggest that our PBNA
for CHIKV may serve as a useful and safe method for testing
the neutralizing activity of antibodies against CHIKV
in BSL-2 facilities.

A strictly aerobic, motile, endospore-forming, rod-shaped
bacterium, designated HS21T, was isolated from rhizospheric
soil of the Korean fir tree (Abies koreana) from Halla mountain
on Jeju island, Korea. Growth of strain HS21T was observed
at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum: pH 7.0), 0–2% (w/v) NaCl
and 4–30°C (optimum: 25°C). A comparative analysis of 16S
rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HS21T was most
closely related to Cohnella luojiensis HY-22RT (97.6%), followed
by C. lupini RLAHU4BT (97.4%) and C. collisoli NKM-
5T (97.2%). The genome of strain HS21T comprised a circular
chromosome of 7,059,027 bp with 44.8% G + C content. The
DNA-DNA relatedness values between strain HS21T and C.
luojiensis HY-22RT and C. lupini RLAHU4BT were 18.1% and
13.8%, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids (> 5%) of
the isolate were anteiso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, C16:0, and iso-C15:0. The
polar lipids present were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylethanolamine, lysylphosphatidylglycerol,
and three unidentified aminophospholipids. Based
on its phenotypic, phylogenetic, genomic, and chemotaxonomic
properties, strain HS21T represents a novel species of
the genus Cohnella, for which the name Cohnella abietis sp.
nov. is proposed. The type strain is HS21T (= KCTC 43028T
= CCTCC AB 2019010T).

Abstract

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a
tick-borne emerging infectious disease caused by the SFTS
virus (SFTSV) and is a threat to public health due to its high
fatality rate. However, details on tick-to-human transmission
of SFTSV are limited. In this study, we determined the wholegenome
sequence of a South Korean SFTSV strain (CUKJJ01),
compared it to those of other recent human SFTSV
isolates, and identified the genetic variations and relationships
among the SFTSV strains. The genome of CUK-JJ01
was consistent with the genome of other members of the genus
Phlebovirus, including the large (L), medium (M), and
small (S) segments of 6368, 3378, and 1744 nucleotides, respectively.
Based on amino acid sequences of the M and S
segments, which are used to distinguish the six SFTSV genotypes,
CUK-JJ01 was classified as genotype B. Segment analysis
revealed that the L, M, and S segments were 97.49%,
97.18%, and 97.94% similar to those of KAJNH2/2013/
Korea, ZJZHSH-FDE/2012/China, and KADGH/2013/Korea,
respectively. Currently, only few studies on SFTSV have been
conducted in Korean population and most were limited to
serological analysis. Although the present study has limitations
in terms of number of sample analyzed, the findings
may serve as basis to understand the transmission and spread
of SFTSV, as well as for the development of diagnostic and
detection methods for viral recombinants by comparing
the whole genome sequence of SFTSV isolates from South
Korea and that of foreign isolates.

Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-endospore-forming,
motile by means of peritrichous flagella, facultatively anaerobic
bacterium designated TI45-13arT was isolated from Nuruk,
a Korean traditional Makgeolli fermentation starter. It grew
at 4–35°C (optimum, 28–30°C), pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum, pH
7.0) and NaCl concentrations up to 5% (w/v). Phylogenetic
trees generated using 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that
strain TI45-13arT belonged to the genus Paenibacillus and
showed the highest sequence similarities with Paenibacillus
kyungheensis DCY88T (98.5%), Paenibacillus hordei RH-N24T
(98.4%) and Paenibacillus nicotianae YIM h-19T (98.1%). The
major fatty acid was anteiso-C15:0. The DNA G+C content
was 39.0 mol%, and MK-7 was the predominant isoprenoid
quinone. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified
glycolipids, and one unidentified aminoglycolipid. The
cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid.
On the basis of polyphasic taxonomy study, it was suggested
that strain TI45-13arT represents a novel species within the genus
Paenibacillus for which the name Paenibacillus nuruki
sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain was TI45-13arT (= KACC
18728T = NBRC 112013T).

This study assessed the taxonomic hierarchy of the phylum
Firmicutes as well as elucidated the isolation and classification
states of novel Firmicutes species isolated from Korean
territory. The hierarchical classification system of the phylum
Firmicutes has been developed since 1872 when the genus
Bacillus was first reported and has been generally adopted
since 2001. However, this taxonomic hierarchy is still being
modified. Until Feb. 2017, the phylum Firmicutes consisted
of seven classes (Bacilli, Clostridia, Erysipelotrichia, Limnochordia,
Negativicutes, Thermolithobacteria, and Tissierellia),
13 orders, 45 families, and 421 genera. Firmicutes species isolated
from various environments in Korea have been reported
from 2000, and 187 species have been approved as of Feb.
2017. All Firmicutes species were affiliated with three classes
(Bacilli, Clostridia, and Erysipelotrichia), four orders (Bacillales,
Lactobacillales, Clostridiales, and Erysipelotrichales), 17
families, and 54 genera. A total of 173 species belong to the
class Bacilli, of which 151 species were affiliated with the order
Bacillales and the remaining 22 species with the order
Lactobacillales. Twelve species belonging to the class Clostridia
were affiliated within only one order, Clostridiales. The
most abundant family was Bacillaceae (67 species), followed
by the family Paenibacillaceae (56 species). Thirteen novel
genera were created using isolates from the Korean environment.
A number of Firmicutes species were isolated from
natural environments in Korean territory. In addition, a considerable
number of species were isolated from artificial resources
such as fermented foods. Most Firmicutes species,
belonging to the families Bacillaceae, Planococcaceae, and Staphylococcaceae, isolated from Korean fermented foods and
solar salterns were halophilic or halotolerant. Firmicutes species
were isolated from the whole territory of Korea, especially
large numbers from Provinces Gyeonggi, Chungnam,
and Daejeon.

Abstract

-
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a causative agent of chickenpox
in primary infection and shingles after its reactivation
from latency. Complete or almost-complete genomic DNA
sequences for various VZV strains have been reported. Recently,
clinical VZV strains were isolated from Korean patients
whose genome was sequenced using high-throughput
sequencing technology. In this study, we analyzed single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) of VZV strains to genetically
characterize Korean clinical isolates. Phylogenetic analyses
revealed that three Korean strains, YC01, YC02, and YC03,
were linked to clade 2. Comprehensive SNP analysis identified
86 sites specific for the 5 VZV clades. VZV strains isolated
from Korea did not form a phylogenetic cluster. Rather,
YC02 and YC03 clustered strongly with Chinese strain 84-7
within clade 2, more specifically cluster 2a. Signature sequences
for the cluster 2a were identified and found to play an
important role in the separation of cluster 2a strains from
other clade 2 strains, as shown in substitution studies. Further
genetic analysis with additional strains isolated from Japan,
China, and other Asian countries would provide a novel insight
into the significance of two distinct subclades within
clade 2.

Abstract

A novel halophilic bacterium, strain K7T, was isolated from
kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food. The strain is
Gram-positive, motile, and produces terminal endospores.
The isolate is facultative aerobic and grows at salinities of
0.0–25.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 10–15% NaCl), pH 5.5–8.5
(optimum pH 7.0–7.5), and 15–42°C (optimum 37°C). The
predominant isoprenoid quinone in the strain is menaquinone-
7 and the peptidoglycan of the strain is meso-diaminopimelic
acid. The major fatty acids of the strain are anteisio-
C15:0, iso-C15:0, and, C16:0 (other components were < 10.0%),
while the major polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylcholine, and three unidentified
lipids. A phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence
similarity showed that the isolated strain was a cluster of the
genus Gracilibacillus. High levels of gene sequence similarity
were observed between strain K7T and Gracilibacillus orientalis
XH-63T (96.5%), and between the present strain and
Gracilibacillus xinjiangensis (96.5%). The DNA G+C content
of this strain is 37.7 mol%. Based on these findings, strain
K7T is proposed as a novel species: Gracilibacillus kimchii sp.
nov. The type strain is K7T (KACC 18669T; JCM 31344T).

Abstract

-
Sanghuang is a medicinal mushroom that has gained particular
attention in Korea. It has been extensively studied for
the past few decades as a natural immune booster and cancer
suppressor. Although the scientific name, Phellinus linteus,
has been commonly used to refer to the sanghuang mushroom,
the species identity of sanghuang has been called into question
due to the ambiguity of its circumscription and the inadequacy
of morphological distinctions within allied species. Because
the species concept of sanghuang has been elucidated by recent
molecular phylogenetic studies, it has become necessary
to clarify the taxonomic positions of sanghuang strains extensively
utilized in Korea. We conducted a phylogenetic analysis
of 74 strains belonging to the P. linteus-baumii complex based
on ITS nrDNA sequences. Parental stains of sanghuang varieties
formally registered in the Korea Seed & Variety Service,
including ASI 26046 (Corea sanghuang), 26114 (Boolro), and
26115 (HK 1-ho) were grouped with Sanghuangporus sanghuang
instead of P. linteus in the inferred phylogeny.

A Gram-stain-positive, polar flagella-containing, rod-shaped,
obligate aerobic, endospore-forming bacterium, strain
TK1655T, was isolated from the traditional Korean food
gochujang. The 16S rRNA sequence of strain TK1655T was
a member of the genus Oceanobacillus similar to that of the
type strain of Oceanobacillus oncorhynchi subsp. incaldanensis
DSM 16557T (97.2%), O. oncorhynchi subsp. oncorhynchi JCM
12661T (97.1%), O. locisalsi KCTC 13253T (97.0%), and O.
sojae JCM 15792T (96.9%). Strain TK1655T was oxidase and
catalase positive. Colonies were circular, smooth, low convex,
cream in colour, and measured about 0.5–1.0 mm in diameter.
The range for growth was 20–40°C (optimal, 30°C), pH 6.0–
10.0 (optimal, 7.0), and 2–16% (w/v) NaCl (optimal, 2%).
Additionally, the cells contained meso-DAP, and the predominant
isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The complex polar
lipids were consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol
(PG), phosphatidylcholine (PC). The major
cellular fatty acid components were iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0,
iso-C16:0, and anteiso-C17:0, and the DNA G+C content was
40.5%. DNA-DNA relatedness of our novel strain and reference
strain O. locisalsi KCTC 13253T, O. oncorhynchi subsp.
incaldanensis DSM 16557T, O. oncorhynchi subsp. oncorhynchi
JCM 12661T was 45.7, 43.8, and 41.9%. From the
results
of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic
analyses of strain TK1655T, we propose the novel species
Oceanobacillus gochujangensis sp. nov. The type strain is
TK1655T (=KCCM 101304T =KCTC 33014T =CIP 110582T
=NBRC 109637T).

Human astroviruses are recognized as an important cause of infantile gastroenteritis around the world. In South Korea, sporadic cases of HAstV infection have been reported since 2002. However, hitherto, there have been no studies reporting the whole genome sequence of an HAstV isolate from South Korea. Hence, we sequenced and analyzed the entire genome of an HAstV-1 strain (lhar) that was isolated in Seoul, South Korea. The whole-genome sequence analysis revealed 3 open reading frames comprising the whole genome: ORF1a (2,763 bp), ORF1b (1,548 bp), and ORF2 (2,364 bp). The lhar strain showed amino acid identities with 8 other reference strains of 87.6–98.7%, 94.2–98.8%, and 62.6–99.0% in the ORF1a, ORF1b, and ORF2 regions, respectively. The amino acid sequence of the capsid region encoded by ORF2 was compared with a total of 19 HAstV-1 strains and 8 HAstVs reference strains isolated in various countries. This revealed 1 amino acid substitution, at aa412 (Pro → Arg) in ORF2. This study, the first to report the fulllength sequence of an HAstV isolated in South Korea, is meaningful in that it can be used as a full-length HAstV sequence standard for future comparison studies. It may also prove useful to the field of public health field by facilitating the diagnosis and the prediction of new emerging variants.

Fumarate reducing bacteria, able to convert fumarate to succinate, are possible to use for the methane reduction in rumen because they can compete for H2 with methanogens. In this, we isolated fumarate reducing bacteria from a rumen of Korean native goat and characterized their molecular properties [fumarate reductase A gene (frdA)], fumarate reductase activities, and productions of volatile fatty acids and gas. Eight fumarate reducing bacteria belonging to Firmicutes were isolated from rumen fluid samples of slaughtered Korean black goats and characterized their phylogenetic positions based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. PCR based analyses
showed that only one strain, closely related to Mitsuokella jalaludinii, harbored frdA. The growths of M. jalaludinii and Veillonella parvula strains were tested for different media. Interestingly, M. jalaludinii grew very well in the presence of hydrogen alone, while V. parvula grew well in response of fumarate and fumarate plus hydrogen. M. jalaludinii produced higher levels of lactate (P≤0.05) than did V. parvula. Additionally, M. jalaludinii produced acetate, but not butyrate, whereas V. parvula produced butyrate, not acetate. The fumarate reductase activities of M. jalaludinii and V. parvula were 16.8 ± 0.34 and 16.9 ± 1.21 mmol NADH oxidized/min/mg of cellular N, respectively. In conclusion, this showed that M. jalaludinii can be used as an efficient methane reducing agent in rumen.

Group C rotaviruses are an important cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans and animals. Fecal samples were collected from a porcine herd in July, 2009. Group C rotavirus RNA was detected using RT-PCR for the VP6 gene. The identified strain was further characterized by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the partial VP4, and complete VP6 and VP7 gene sequences. The partial VP4 and complete VP6 gene sequences of the CUK-5 strain were most closely related to those of the CUK-6 strain of group C rotaviruses. Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 gene of the 2 strains (CUK-5 and CUK-6) and reference strains of group G rotavirus by the neighbor-joining method also confirmed that CUK-5 and CUK-6 belonged to type G5 and G1 strains, respectively. This study provides useful data for the prediction of newly appearing variants of porcine group C rotaviruses in neighboring countries through comparisons with GCRVs and fundamental research for vaccine development.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of Korean propolis against clinical isolates of mutans streptococci (MS) from Koreans. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and time-kill curves against mutans streptococci. The MIC90 values of propolis for MS were 35 μg/ml. Propolis had a bacteriostatic effect on Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175T and bactericidal effects on Streptococcus sobrinus ATCC 33478T at > 2×MIC (70 μg/ml). These results suggest that the propolis can be used in the development of oral hygiene products for the prevention of dental caries.

Abstract

Molecular phylogenetic studies of the HIV-1 isolated from Koreans have suggested the presence of the so- called “Korean clade”, which can be defined as a cluster free of foreign isolates. The Korean clade accounts for more than 60% of Korean isolates and exerts characteristic amino acid sequences. Thus, it is merited to estimate when this Korean clade first emerged in order to understand the evolutionary pattern of the Korean clade. We analyzed and reconstructed the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) sequences from nef (n=229) and vif (n=179) Korean clade sequences. Linear regression analyses of sequence divergence estimates were plotted against sampling years to infer the year in which there was zero divergence from the MRCA sequences. MRCA sequences suggested the Korean clade was first emerged around 1984, before the first detection of HIV-1 in Korea in 1985. Further studies on synonymous and nonsynonymous substitution rates suggested positive selection event for the Korean clade, while other subtype B had undergone negative to neutral evolution.

Abstract

Full-length cDNAs of two different strains of Potato virus X (PVX-Kr and PVX-Mo) have been directly amplified by long template reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using the 5’-end primer containing a SP6 or T7 RNA promoter sequence and the virus-specific 3’-end primer, and then constructed in plasmid vectors. Capped in vitro transcripts from cloned full-length cDNAs as well as those RTPCR amplicons proved to be infectious systemically on tobacco plants. Symptom expression on tobacco plants from PVX-Mo transcripts was faster and severer than that from PVX-Kr. In replication stability test of transcripts derived from PVX clones, progeny viruses showed stable replication according to sequencing through passages. This highly infectious transcript system from the full-length cDNA clones for PVX can be useful for recombinant molecules for functional analysis of viral proteins in plant-virus interaction study as well as for expression of foreign protein in planta.

Seroepidemological investigation of antibodies to Legionella species in 500 healthy individuals from a single geographical location in Korea was conducted by indirect fluorescent antibody assay (IFA). Considering an antibody titer of ≥1:128 as positive reaction, 15.2% of total sera were positive. In males and females older than 40 years old, levels of IgM and IgG were 1.2% and 14%, respectively. The sera with antibody titers of ≥1:128 to Legionella species accounted for 85 sera, and 9 sera of these were reacted to more than one Legionella species. Reactivity to L. bozemanii, L. micdadei, L. longbeachae, L. pneumophila sg 6, and L. gormanii were 32.9%, 20%, 15%, 10.6%, and 8%, respectively. However, L. pneumophila sg 1, sg 2, and sg 3 did
not react to any sera. Serological analysis revealed that the level of antibody in response to L. bozemanii was more prevalent than L. pneumophila. Our results suggest that the antibodies of non-L. pneumophila species, such as L. bozemanii, may be highly prevalent in healthy population within Korea. Although conclusions
based on the findings of this study must be cautiously considered given that the population sampled were sourced from a single province, we have added to the knowledge base of serodiagnosis of infections due to non-L. pneumophila species in Korea.

Nucleotide and amino acid substitution pattern in vif gene of the Korean clade of HIV-1 isolated from Koreans were analyzed using consensus sequences. At nucleotide level, transition/transversion substitution ratio was 1.88, and nonsynonymous/synonymous substitution ratio was 2.67, suggesting a divergent
<br>evolution in the Korean clade. At amino acid level, there were 17 substitutions and G→E substitution at position 37 may be responsible for change in predicted secondary structure.

Phylogenetic studies of nef, pol, and env gene sequences of HIV-1 isolated from Koreans suggested the presence of a Korean clade in which Korean sequences are clustered to the exclusion of foreign sequences. We attempted to identify and characterize the Korean clade using all vif gene sequences isolated from Koreans registered in the NCBI GenBank database (n = 233). Most (77%) of the Korean isolates belonged to the Korean clade as a large subcluster in subtype B, designated the Korean clade subtype B (KCB). KCB sequences were relatively homogenous compared to Korean subtype B sequences that did not belong to the KCB (non-Korean clade subtype B; NKCB). Comparison of amino acid frequencies of KCB and NKCB sequences revealed several positions where the amino acid frequencies were significantly different. These amino acid residues were critical in separating KCB from NKCB or from foreign sequences, since substitution of these amino acids in KCB with the NKCB amino acids relocated the KCB sequences to NKCB, and vice versa. Further analyses of KCB will help us to understand the origin and evolutionary history of KCB.

Cyanobacteria are the dominant phototrophic bacteria in water environments. Here, the diversity of cyanobacteria in seven Korean reservoir waters where different levels of algal blooms were observed during the summer of 2002, was examined by T-RFLP analysis. The number of T-RF bands in the HaeIII T-RFLP profiles analyzed from those water samples ranged from 20 to 44. Of these, cyanobacteria accounted for 6.1 to 27.2% of the total bacteria. The water samples could be clustered into 2 groups according to the Dice coefficient of the T-RF profiles. The eutrophic Dunpo and oligotrophic Chungju reservoirs were selected, and several representative clones from both reservoir waters analyzed for the nucleotide sequences of their 16S rDNA. The major clones were found to belong to the Microcystis and Anabaena species in the waters from the Dunpo and Chungju reservoirs, respectively, which was in agreement with the T-RFLP result. That is, the Microcystis and Anabaena species were dominant in the eutrophic and polluted Dunpo and oligotrophic Chungju reservoir waters, respectively. These results indicated that there is a correlation between prevalence of cyanobacterial species and levels of pollution in reservoir waters.

Biodiversity of yeasts in various natural environments including soils, swamps and plants was investigated. By molecular identification methods based on the partial sequences of 26S rDNA, 69 isolates were assigned to 44 taxa including 27 known species. The remaining 17 taxa could potentially form new species. All of them were classified into Ascomycota, Hymenomycetes, Urediniomycetes and Ustilaginomycetes. Ascomycetous and ustilaginomycetous yeasts were generally isolated from flower samples, and hymenomycetous and urediniomycetous yeasts were generally isolated from soil samples. Distribution of yeast groups exhibited geographical variation. Yeast biodiversity of root soil also varied according to the associated plant species.
