The biological efficiencies of promising Pleurotus spp. were evaluated. Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus tuberregium,and Pleurotus sajor-cajuwere investigated at temperatures of 22oC, 20oC, and 18oC to determine their ability to adapt to temperatures that are likely to be found in subtropical regions. The experiment was conducted using a substrate comprising Popular sawdust 60% + cotton seed 20% + beet pulp 20% under a relative humidity of 65%. The results indicated that there were significant differences in terms of biological efficiency between the species: P. tuber regium 128.84% at 22oC, P. ostreatus 108.41% at 22oC, and P. sajor-caju is 80% at 20oC. The common temperatures at which all species showed the highest biological efficiencies were 22oC and 20oC. Therefore, the production of the evaluated species was equal to or surpassed biological efficiencies reported in tropical environments, thereby demonstrating a potential opportunity to adapt to tropical environments without compromising quality standards.

환경친화적 생물적방제를 위해 수출딸기온실에서 해충인 점박이응애 밀도 감소 효율을 화학적방제와 생물적방제로 나누어 동일한 크기의 동일한 온실에서 각각 비교하였다. 생물적방제 온실은 점박이응애의 천적인 칠레이리응 애만을 이용하였고, 화학적방제 온실은 일반 화학합성 농약을 이용하여 점박이응애의 밀도를 조절하였다. 화학적방제 온실에 비해 생물적방제 온실에서 점박이응애 모든 태의 밀도가 낮게 관찰되었으며, 생물적방제를 위한 비용이 화학적방제에 비해 낮았다. 이러한 결과는 수출딸기의 주요해충인 점박이응애의 방제에 칠레이리응애를 이용한 생물적방제가 가능한 것을 나타내고 있다.

In this study, we made population with high biological efficiency to investigate the complex genetic architecture of yield-related traits in A. bisporus. MB013 that crossed with bisp 15-p2 and bisp 34-p2 had high biological efficiency. 170 homokaryons was isolated with CAPS marker (PIN primer/HaeⅢ) from 1000 ISSs. And 100 BC1F1 hybrids obtained by crossing the homokaryons of MB013 with bisp15-p1. Parental line bisp 15-p2 and bisp 34-p2 and 100 homokaryons of MB013 will analyze genome sequencing. Also 100 BC1F1 hybrids will evaluate yield-related traits.

Recently, the production of taste and odor (T&O) compounds is a common problem in water industry. Geosmin is one of the T&O components in drinking water. However, geosmin is hardly eliminated through the conventional water treatment systems. Among various advanced processes capable of removing geosmin, adsorption process using granular activated carbon (GAC) is the most commonly used process. As time passes, however GAC process changes into biological activated carbon (BAC) process. There is little information on the BAC process in the literature. In this study, we isolated and identified microorganisms existing within various BAC processes. The microbial concentrations of BAC processes examined were 3.5×105 colony forming units (CFU/g), 2.2×106 CFU/g and 7.0×105 CFU/g in the Seongnam plant, Goyang plant and Goryeong pilot plant, respectively. The dominant bacterial species were found to be Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Novosphingobium rosa and Afipia broomeae in each plants. Removal efficiencies of 3 μg/L geosmin by the dominant species were 36.1%, 36.5% and 34.3% in mineral salts medium(MSM) where geosmin was a sole carbon source.
