In 2022, research for native prokaryotic species in Korea reported 10 unrecorded bacterial strains affiliated to phyla Actinomycetota, Bacillota, and Pseudomonadota. The strains formed monophyletic clades with the most closely related species (with ≥98.7% sequence similarity) in the 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Among them, four species of the phylum Actinomycetota, two species of the phylum Bacillota, and four species of the phylum Pseudomonadota have not been reported in Korea, suggesting unrecorded species in Korea. Information on strains such as Gram staining reaction, colony and cell morphology, biochemical characteristics, and isolation sources were provided in the species description.

This study measured the suspended fungal concentration in indoor multiple facilities nationwide. The regions were selected as representative cities by region: Seoul, Gyeonggi (Incheon), Gangwon, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Busan. A total of 2028 regional comparisons, including department stores, schools, public toilets, libraries, and banks, subway, sports facilities and comparative analysis were conducted for each multi-use facility industry. Among the nationwide, Among the regions, the average concentration of floating mold in indoor multi-use facilities was the lowest in Busan at 394.67 CFU/m3, followed by Gyeonggi and Incheon 487.90 CFU/m3, Seoul 542.84 CFU/m3, Daejeon 809.30 CFU/m3, Gangwon 1,145.22 CFU/m3, Gwangju was 1,371.10 CFU/m3 in the order. Busan was the lowest, and Gangwon was the highest. The reason that Busan, which has a high average temperature and population density, shows a lower mold concentration than Gangwon, is that floating mold in the indoor air is not affected by the external atmospheric environment, population density, and number of facility users. Although it cannot be said that there is no influence of the atmospheric environment, it was found that the indoor environment has different characteristics from the outdoor environment. The importance of air quality management has been confirmed, and further, it is necessary to subdivide the management standards by region and multi-use facilities, and the management standards need to be converted to maintenance rather than recommendations.

백두산에서는 밀레니엄 대분화 이후로도 수차례의 화산활동이 계속되어 마그마 거동 감시 연구의 필요성이 지속적으로 제기되고 있다. 마그마방의 깊이 및 규모를 파악하기 위해서는 다양한 지구물리학적 접근이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 전기비저항 탐사의 적용성을 검토하고자 한다. 국경으로 인해 공간적 제한이 있는 백두산에서 심부에 위치한 마그마를 탐사하기 위해서는 측선의 길이가 수십 킬로미터 이상이 되는 대규모 전기탐사가 이루어져야 하며, 이를 위해 서는 분산계측 시스템의 도입과 이에 최적화된 탐사 설계가 필수적으로 요구된다. 따라서 자체 개발된 분산계측 시스템을 활용하는 탐사설계안을 제시하고 전산실험을 통해 적용 가능성을 분석하였다. 단일 측선과 비동일선상 송신원 배열을 사용한 탐사설계안을 이용하여 다수의 측선 설치가 필요한 일반적인 3차원 탐사에 준하는 역산 해석 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 이 탐사설계안이 백두산 심부 물리탐사에 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
