Abstract:
To know the value of the solubilization method using tissue solubilizer Soluene-350 in diagnosis of drowning, mice (ICR) were drowned artificially with the fresh water of Chungju district. Chlorophyta (or green algae), such as Oocystis and Eudorina, as well as diatoms, such as Diatoma, Synedra and Cyclotella were detected with other algae including Microcystis, Oscillatoria, Trachlomonas, Altenaria and Cephalodella in the water of Daeje-ji(Dae-je pond). This method is useful in detection of green algae and other kinds of algae for diagnosis of drowning in submerged bodies among legal autopsy cases.
