With the soil samples collected from 33 locations in Kwangju area, the physiochemical properties of soil and soil microorganisms have been studied and the results of'the analysis were as follows ;1 . Tlle temperatilre, pH, moisture and organic matter of sampling s'tes were measured in the range of 21.O~28.O℃, 4.0"6.6, 2.1"24.0% and 2.8~22.0% respectively.and that showed wide range distribution in moisture and organio mattrr particulary.and averase was 24.℃ of temperature, 4.9 of pH, 11.9% of moisture and 8.9% of'organic matter.2. The general bacterial number, cellulolytic bacterial number, general fungal number and cellulolytic fungal number were measured in tile range of 23×10[-995] 1548x10[-995] , 8.0×10[-995] ~412.0×10[-995] , 0.3×10[-994] ~56.4×10[-994] and 0.Ix10[-994] ~17.2x10[-994] , respectivelyand average was 378.4×10[-995] of general bacteria, 102.5×10[-995] of cellulolytic bacteria.13.OX10[-994] of general fungi and 4.3×10[-994] of cellulolytic fungi.tic fungi.
