There were few data for the distribution of the indicator organisms in the commercial plant foods, and for the normal flora and for the foodborne agents within the country. First of all it must be investigated the distribution of the indicator organisms. And also it is very important to prepare the sanitation criteria for the plant foods through the microbiological e×amination and the investigation of tendency to change of the indicator organisms according to the storage temperature and period. The average number of total viable counts for grains was 2.9 × 10^5/g, psychrophilic bacteria 2.9 × 10^6/g, heterotrophic bacteria 3.1 × 10³/g, heat-resistant bacteria 2.1 × 10³/g Pseudomonas aeruginosa 23/g. That for beans was 6.3 × 10²/g, psychrophile 34/g, heterotroph 1.7 × 10²/g. That for sesames was 1.4 × 10^5/g, coliform 350/g, psychrophile 7.4 × 10⁴/g, heterotroph 5.8 × 10⁴/g, Pseud. aeruginosa 2.3 × 10³/g. heat-resistant bacteria 150/g. That for potatoes was 2.0 × 10^7/g, coliform 5.0 × 10⁴/g, psychrophile 1.8 × 10^7/g, heterotroph 1.4 × 10^7/g, heatresistant bacteria 3.3 × 10¹/g, Staphylococcus 2.7 × 10^5/g, fecal streptococcus 4.5 × 10³/g, Pseud. aeruginosa 7.0 × 10³/g. That for mushrooms was 1.2 × 10^8/g, psychrophile 9.4 × 10^7/g, heterotroph 1.0 × 10^9/g, heat-resistant bacteria 1.6 × 10^5/g, Pseud. aeruginosa 1.3 × 10³/g. That for vegetables was 5.9 × 10^(11)/g, coliform 1.8 × 10^6/g, psychrophile 1.1 × 10²/g, heterotroph 8.4 × 10^(11)/g, heatresistant bacteria 7.6 × 10^6/g, Staphylococcus 1.1 × 10^7/g, fecal streptococcus l.1 × 10⁴/g, Pseud. aeruginosa 5.2 × 10⁴/g. That for nuts 3.9 × 10⁴/g, coliform 3.9 × 10³/g, psychrophile 4.0 × 10^8/g, heterotroph 3.2 × 10^8/g, heat-resistant bacteria 400/g. In commercial grains and beans, SPC, psychrophile, heterotroph and heat-resistant bacteria stored at 10℃, 20℃, 30℃ were constant. Staphylococcus, coliform, Pseud. aeruginosa were decreased a little in grains, but were not detected in beans. In mushrooms, all indicator organisms were increased as time goes on and were increased rapidly at 20. In sesames, coliform was not detected at all temperature. psychrophile was increased for 7 days, the otners were constant. In potatoes, SPC, psychrophile, heat-resistant bacteria, heterotroph had a tendency to increase and the others were constant. In vegetables, indicator organisms were had a tendency to increase, psychrophile, heterotroph were rapidly increased after 7 days. In nuts, SPC, coliform, psychrophile, heterotroph, heat-resistant bacteria, Pseud. aeruginosa were constant, staphylococcus and fecal streptococcus were not detected.

This study analyzed the status of climate-change indicator plants native to the main islands of the Korean peninsula, while elucidating their distribution characteristics. Information on flora from over 129 island locations, comprising more than 100 species of native plants, was collected, compiled into a database, and utilized as raw data. The distribution of 193 climate-change indicator plants was confirmed. The distribution area of broadleaf evergreen trees and ferns, including Mallotus japonicus and Cyrtomium falcatum, was relatively wide. In contrast, the distribution of common northern plants such as Corydalis turtschaninovii and Malus baccata was limited. If global warming persists, northern plant distribution is expected to decrease rapidly in the Korean Peninsula island region, while the northern limit line of the southern plants is expected to migrate further northward. During this process, it is likely that the plant congregation structure and species diversity within the island region will change dynamically. In this study, comparative analyses between species and regions were conducted by assessing the relative frequency of their occurrence, and six types of botanical geographic distribution patterns were noted.
