This study is for the consideration of the existence tendency of Kudoa septempunctata in olive flounder. In general, muscle has shown a strong PCR positive reaction in spores containing tissues rather than non-containing tissues. However, blood PCR results showed opposed tendency. In various organs of the tested fish containing spores in muscle tissue, heart had shown positive reaction along with muscle at PCR analysis. Muscle fiber necrosis was observed at the histological observation, and this degeneration was common in both samples. The one sample was the PCR positive muscle containing spore and the other was the PCR positive muscle non-containing spore. Both of muscle tissues indicated a positive reaction at ISH (in-situ hybridization) against K. septempunctata.

In this study, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL), RNApolymeraseC (rpoC1), intergenic spacer (psbA-trnH), and second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) as identification markers for discrimination of P. mirifica in foods were selected. To be primer design, we obtained 719 bp, 520 bp, 348 bp, and 507 bp amplicon using universal primers from selected regions of P. mirifica. The regions of rbcL, rpoC1, and psbA-trnH were not proper for design primers because of high homology about P. mirifica, P. lobata, and B. superba. But, we had designed 4 pairs of oligonucleotide primers from ITS2 gene. Predicted amplicon from P. mirifica were obtained 137 bp and 216 bp using finally designed primers SFI12-miri-6F/SFI12-miri-7R and SFI12-miri-6F/SFI12-miri-8R, respectively. The species-specific primers distinguished P. mirifica from related species were able to apply food materials and processed foods. The developed PCR method would be applicable to food safety management for illegally distributed products in markets and internet shopping malls.

In this study, the experimental method has been investigated using molecular biological way to identify raw materials from seasoned red-pepper sauce which is one of the most popular spices in Korea. 6 kinds of seasoned red-pepper sauces were chosen as a sample containing chilli pepper, garlic, onion as a major ingredient and species specific primers were used for the identification of the raw material of processed food. Selected samples were pre-treated to remove salt (samples were washed with distilled water 3~4 times for desalting), after that, to amplify the extracted genes, whole genome amplification (WGA) kit was performed. Afterwards, PCR products were confirmed through the electrophoresis. As a result, 102, 180, 280 bp of specific PCR products were confirmed for each major ingredients such as chilli pepper, garlic, onion. From this study, the gene extraction method was validated for the identification of ingredients from the spices and it would be applied to distinction of low quality chilli pepper powder including seasoned red-pepper sauce illegally.

이 연구의 목적은 고라니(Hydropotes inermis argyropus)의 위내용물을 대상으로 PCR-DGGE 방법을 이용하여 그 식이습성을 조사하는데 있다. 이 연구를 위해, 강원도 철원과 전라남도 동부지역 등에서 자연사 혹은 로드킬에 의해 죽은 고라니 사체의 위에서 식이물 샘플을 채취하였다. 총 44개체의 위내용물에서 각각 DNA를 추출하였고, 두 가지의 프라이머(rbcLZ1과 rbcL19bR)를 이용하여 ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit(rbcL) gene을 PCR 증폭하였다. 44개의 샘플 중 29 샘플에서 성공적으로 PCR을 수행하였다. 이 29개 partial rbcL gene의 PCR product는 PCR-DGGE에 이용되었다. 식이물에 대한 분석결과 총 6과의 식물이 확인되었다. 강원도 철원의 경우, 5과가 나타난 반면, 전라남도 동부의 경우, 3과만이 확인되었다. 이 연구에서는 종수준의 먹이식물의 구별에는 실패하였 지만, 차후 이 PCR-DGGE 기법은 고라니를 포함한 초식동물의 식이습성을 분석하는데 하나의 가능성 있는 방법이 될 것으로 생각된다.

This research aimed to compare the detection methods of Anisakis simplex in Sea fish by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and macroscopic inspection. We examined 18 Trichiurus lepturus, 11 Scomber japonicus, and 65 Todarodes pacificus collected from the retail markets in the areas of Uljin, Kyuonggi province and Seoul. As the result of examinations, we found that detection rate of Anisakis simplex by macroscopic observation was 89% in Trichiurus lepturus, 90.9% in Scomber japonicus, 32.3% in Todarodes pacificus. The detection rate of Anisakis simplex by PCR-RFLP was 77.7% in Trichiurus lepturus, 81.8% in Scomber japonicus, 26.1% in Todarodes pacificus. We could conclude that PCR-RFLP method of Anisakis simplex was more specific rather than macroscopic observation.

성간별에 이용할 돼지 수정란을 체외수정 방법으로 생산하기 위하여 돼지 난소에서 채취한 난자를 NCSU 23 배지에서 eCG, hCG를 첨가한 상태에서 22시간, 첨가하지 않은 상태에서 22시간 체외성숙을 시킨 후 mTBM을 이용하여 여러가지 정자농도(5, 2.5 , 6.0그리고 10.0 )에 따라 6시간 수정시켰고, NCSU 23 배지에서 배양시켰다. 배양 후 44시간에 수정란의 분할률을 관찰하였고, 144시간에 배반포 형성율을 확인하였다. 성감별 방법

'Angelicae Pubescentis Radix' (APR) is an important oriental medical preparation. In Korea, Aralia continentalis has been recognized as the source plant of APR. Aralia cordata, which is difficult to distinguish from A. continentalis, and Heracleum moellendorffii, which is frequently used in lieu of A. continentalis, are traded in Korean herbal markets. In contrast, in China, Angelica pubescens is recognized as the source plant of APR. In this study, we devised a method not only to discriminate A. contientalis from A. cordata, but also to discriminate both A. contientalis and A. cordata from H. moellendorffii and A. pubescens. Based on the discrepancy in the sequences of specific regions of ITS, we designed a Cont F/ Cont R primer set to amplify a 173 bp PCR band that appears only in A. continentalis. Additionally, we designed an Ara F/ Ara R primer set to amplify a 278 bp PCR band that appears in both A. continentalis and A. cordata. Using these primer sets and the ST R primer to confirm the PCR amplification results, we developed a simple multiplex PCR method for differentiating A. continentalis from A. cordata and to concurrently differentiate both A. continentalis and A. cordata from other APR herbs.
