자가사리 정자는 체외수정을 하는 일반적인 수중형의 형태를 하고 있으나 미토콘드리아의 많은 수, 핵 돌기 및 두 개의 편모를 가지는 구조적 차이를 보여주었다. 핵의 기부에는 두 개의 깊이 함입된 핵와에 각각 말단부중심립을 포함하고 두 개의 중심립은 축사를 형성할 기저체로서의 기능을 하며 서로 평행하게 배열되어 있었다. 부수체는 중심립에서부터 핵막 사이의 공간에 있으며 이들 사이의 공간적 관계를 안정화시키는 역할을 하는 것으로 여겨진다. 미토콘드리아는 중편세포질에서 2층 또는 3층으로 배열되어 있으며 그 수는 40개 정도가 있었다. 정자는 두 개의 편모를 가지며 각 편모에 2개씩 즉 4개의 axonemal fins가 나있고 이들은 축사의 이중미세소관 3번과 8번 양쪽의 원형질막이 돌출되어 나타났다. 세포질관을 덮고있는 외벽은 원형질막과 소포체 수조로 구성 되며 이들 사이에 수많은 결합구조가 발달되어 있었다. 이와같이 자가사리의 정자는 구형의 핵, 깊은 핵와, 미토콘드리아의 배열 및 편모의 구성에 있어서 메기과와 동자개과의 정자와 유사하나 이들 두 과와는 핵 돌기, 핵와, 축사 및 axonemal fins의 수에 있어서는 차이를 보여주었다. 정자의 중편과 꼬리의 구성에서 메기목 4과 중 퉁가리과와 동자개과의 계통적 유연관계가 가장 밀접한 것으로 나타났다.

게임 봇은 게임에서 사용되는 재화 또는 아이템 등을 대량으로 유통시키며 게임 재화 및 아이템의 가치를 하락시키는 한편 아이템을 획득하기 위해 봇끼리 몰려다니면서 몬스터를 사냥하고 아이템을 채집하므로 일반 유저들이 정상적으로 콘텐츠를 즐기는 활동을 방해해 왔다. 그러나 봇의 증가가 구체적으로 어떤 유형의 유저에게 영향을 미치는지, 그리고 어떤 활동 유형을 감소시키는지에 대한 연구는 알려진 바가 없었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 게임 유저들의 접속 데이터를 토대로 유형을 분류하고 봇의 증가에 따른 유저 이탈과의 상관관계를 분석함으로써 유저들의 게임 이용을 유도하는 실무적인 시사점을 제공한다.

This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the antibiotic effects of leaves, stems, and roots in yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius). Antibacterial activity of leaf extract by disk diffusion method with Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli respectively showed 13.3 and 13.75mm diameters of clear zone. There was no significant difference between the stems and leaves. The minimum inhibitory concentration of leaves’ heating and agitation extraction showed a restrain of strain at 1mg/ml, but the stems and root extract did not appear. Yacon is a functional antibacterial material, and methanol extraction is more effective than water. This research was to investigate the growth stage of collection has the most effective antibacterial effects. It has collected yacon's leaves from June to October, which is an appropriate time for collection right before reaping. Yacon leaf has antibacterial effects on Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecium, and Salmonella enteritifis. There were no significant differences by the growth stage of collection. Leaves collected in July are high in phenol which helps in sulfating activity works well considering the high scavenging capability of DPPH. Leaves collected in September are high in total flavonoid.

Background : Recently, ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer.) berry has been used as a health-promoting supplements. Also, Mulberries (Morus alba L.) fruit have been used in traditional herbal medicine to treat and prevent diabetes. In this study, we measured the cytotoxicity after fermentation of the extracts in Panax Ginseng Berry and Mulberry Fruit. Methods and Results : The extracts were prepared by decoction for 3 hours in distilled water (100 g/L). The dried extract was then dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in preparation for use. Cell viability was examined by an MTT assay. RAW 264.7 cells were seeded at 1 × 104/mL densities in 96-well plates. Each grouping had a non-treated group as the control. The extracts were added to each well and incubated for 24 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2. The MTT solutions (5 mg/mL) were added to each well, and the cells were cultured for another 2 hours. The supernatant was then discarded, and 100 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide was added to each well. The optical density was read at 540 nm. Conclusion : Probiotics and prebiotics modulate the composition of human and domestic animal gut microbiota. The beneficial effects may result from suppression of harmful microorganisms or stimulation of organisms which contribute in a positive way to the nutrition and health of human and domestic animal. Recently, fermentation using microorganisms for the production of more effective compounds has been extensively studied. In particular, the novel pharmacological effects of a new compound generated by fermentation have been reported. Some previous studies have demonstrated that Fermented herbal medicine extract showed better bioactivity than normal herbal Plants extract when used at the same concentration.

Background : This study was carried out to understand the effect of seedling weight (SW) on growth and flowering in Panax ginseng. Methods and Results : The testing materials were Chunpoong (CP), Yunpoong (YP) and Jakyeongjong (JK). The increase of seedling (1yr) weight led to an increase in ratio of flowering plant and in number of flower per plant. The seed setting rate of two year-old plant (CP, YP, JK) increased with increase of SW at the planting time (PT) and number of flower per plant of three year-old plant (CP, YP) increased also. In the two year-old plant (JK), the ratio of three leaves per plant was 8.8, 19.6, 31.0, 42.0, 44.7 and 58.2%, respectively, in the SW of >0.6, 0.6~0.8, 0.8~1.0, 1.02~1.2, 1.2~1.4 and 1.4g<. The growth of ginseng plant was good with increase of SW at the PT. Conclusion : There was a highly positive correlation between seedling weight and flowering characteristics.

The species composition and variation of marine plants at Saguenjin in the east coast of Korea were investigated monthly from October 2008 to December 2009. As a result, 92 species of marine plants identified, 91 species were seaweeds (7 green algae, 22 brown algae, 62 red algae) and 1 were sea grass. Dominant species in importance value were melobesioidean algae, Ulva pertusa and Phyllospadix iwatensis. The vertical distribution of algae were characterized by melobesioidean algae, U. pertusa at 3 m depth, melobesioidean algae, P. iwatensis and U. pertusa at 5 m depth and melobesioidean algae, Chondrus ocellatus and Prionitis cornea at 10 m depth.
