환경시료에서 마이크로시스틴 분해능을 나타낸 균주 1종을 분리하였고 16S rRNA gene sequence 분석 결과, Microbacterium sp.로 동정되어 Microbacterium sp. MA21로 명명하였다. R2A배지를 기본 배지로 하여 50 μg L-1 microcystin-LR을 첨가하여 30􀆆C, 12시간 동안 배양한 후 PPIA를 통해 microcystin이 80% 이상 분해되는 것을 확인하였다. Microcystin-LR의 분해를 HPLC 분석을 통해 재확인하였고, microcystin 분해산물로 추정되는 두 개의 peak를 확인하였다. 16S rRNA 염기서열을 이용한 계통분류 분석 결과, 본 연구에서 분리한 Microbacterium sp. MA21은 Alphaproteobacteria의 Sphingomonas 속에 속하지 않는 것은 물론 Actinobacteria에는 속하지만 기존에 보고되지 않은, 새로운 genus로 확인되었다.

In vitro high-frequency plant regeneration of Muscari comosum var. plumosum through somatic embryogenesis was obtained via two developmental pathways: direct embryos and multiple shoots regenerated from embryogenic callus. Flower bud with pedicel, receptacle, petal and ovary wall, floral stalk and leaf as explants were cultured in MS medium supplemented with various plant growth regulators. Embryos formed directly from pedicel, receptacle and floral stalk. Depending on explant sources, the optimal medium was MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L IBA and 0.3 mg/L BA, 3.0 mg/L IBA and 3.0 mg/L BA, and MS-free medium for pedicel, receptacle, and floral stalk, respectively. Multiple shoots regenerated from embryogenic cal]i which was initiated from petal, ovary and leaf were observed in MS medium with different concentrations and combinations of hormone. The most suitable medium for each type of explant was 3.0 mg/L IBA and 3.0 mg/L BA(petal and ovary) and 5.0 mg/L IBA and 5.0 mg/L BA (leaf) Furthermore, the combination of 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D and 1.0 mg/L BA was also good for all sources of explants not only for direct embryo formation, but also, for embryogenic callus induction.
