Abstract
Water samples were taken at 6 stations from the mouth of Keum River to Kogunsan Archipelago of West Sea during December, 1991 to August, 1992, to determine the distribution of heterotrophic bacteria, their biovolumes and heterotrophic activities. Heterotrophic marine bacteria ranged from $1.0\;{\times}\;10^3to\;5\;{\times}\;10^5c.f.u.$ /ml. As for morphological distribution measured by epifluorescence microscopy, rod-shaped bacteria were between 45% and 72% of all cells during investigation period. Average biovolume of sampled bacteria ranged from $(7.69\;{\pm}\;0.18)\;{\times}10^{-2}to\;(8.18\;{\pm}\;0.38)\;{\times}\;10^{-2}\;{\mu}m^3$ for coccoid bacteria, and from $(6.09\;{\pm}\;0.29)\;{\times}10^{-2}to\;(7.72\;{\pm}\;0.41)\;{\times}\;10^{-2}\;{\mu}m^3$ for rod-shaped ones. The activities of extracellular enzymes ranged from 0.01 to 2.6 ${\mu}M$ /l /hr for glucosidase, from 0.01 to 2.6 ${\mu}M$ /l /hr for amylase, from 0.01 to 8.86 ${\mu}M$ /I /hr phosphatase and from 0.01 to 0.94 ${\mu}M$ /l /hr for chitinase. Extracellular enzyme activities were higher in summer season than in other sampling periods, and phosphatase showed the highest activity among measured extracellular enzymes. Bacterial distribution and their extracellular enzyme activities were associated with water temperature and organic nutrients, but bacterial cell volumes showed no direct relationship with extracellular enzyme activities.
1991년 11월부터 1992년 8월까지 총 8회에 걸쳐 금강하구에서 고군산군도까지 6개 정점을 대상으로 종속영양 세균의 분포와 평군체적 및 세포와 효소활성을 측정하였다. 해양성 종속영양 세균은 1.0X103~5X105 c.f.u./ml의 범주에서 분포하였으며, 간균이 45~72%를 차지하였다. 또한 구균의 평균체적은 (7.69$pm$0.18)X10-2~(8.18$pm$0.38)X10-2$mu$m3, 간균은 (6.09$pm$0.29)X10-2~(7.72$pm$0.41)X10-2$mu$m3의 범주에서 변화하였다. 세포외 효소활성도를 측정한 결과, glucosidase의 활성은 0~3.49$mu$M/l/hr, chitinase의 활성은 0~1.25$mu$M/l/hr, phosphatase는 0~11.95$mu$M/l/hr, amylase는 0~3.80$mu$M/l/hr의 범주에서 측정되어 세포외 효소활성은 여름철에 높은 값을 보였으며, 측정효소중 phosphatase의 활성이 가장 높았다. 종속영양 세균의 분포와 세포외 효소활성은 수온과 유입되는 유기물의 양과 밀접한 관계가 있었으며, 세균의 체적의 크기는 세포외 효소 활성과는 직접적인 관계가 없었다.
