Abstract

Scuticociliatosis has badly settled one of most damaging diseases during the seedling production process of olive flounder. Paralichthys olivaceus in Korea. We isolated a new type of Scuticociliate from flounder. The parasite metamorphoses to ciliate and cyst phases with each other by environmental changes and survive for a relatively long span. The ciliate was measured average 41.8 ${\mu}m$ in length and 21.0 ${\mu}m$ in width, and cyst was 17.0 ${\mu}m$ and 13.5 ${\mu}m$, respectively. Nutritional condition was determined as a major parameter of metamorphosing between ciliate and cyst stages. The ciliate transforms to a cyst stage because of food shortage, and the cyst returns to a ciliate stage with a favorite environmental condition and shows active growth and reproduction. The ciliate multiplied at the maximal density of $2.9 {\times} 10^5 {m\ell}^{-1}$cells in vitro cultivation at $15 ^{\circ}C$temperature using MS BHI medium and bacterial food sources. The ciliate could be proliferated at a 2.5 to $30 ^ \circ}C$ temperature range, pH 6 to 9, and 1 to 55 ppt salinity. Particularly, it survived over one week at $0 ^{\circ}C$temperature showing a high resistance against unfavorable environmental conditions. And the cyst survived for 320 days in the condition of $5 ^{\circ}C$with no feeding, but its survival period was markedly shortened in higher temperature conditions. The chemotherapeutants (formalin and hydrogen peroxide) were clarified as effective chemicals against the ciliate during in vitro trials, but the effect of therapeutants differed in proportion, depending upon the density and the bathing time of chemical compounds.

2003년 북제주 지역의 육상양식장에서 양식중인 넙치에서 새로운 타입의 스쿠티카섬모충을 분리하였다. 이 충은 환경에 따라 ciliate와 cyst로 변태하며 장기간 생존하였는데, ciliate stage의 크기는 영양상태가 양호한 시기 기준 평균 길이 41.8, 폭 21.0 ${\mu}m$ 이었으며, cyst stage는 평균 길이 17.0 ${\mu}m$, 폭 13.5 ${\mu}m$ 이었다. 변태하는 주 원인은 먹이 양이었다. 먹이가 부족하면 cyst로 변태하여 장기간 생존이 가능하며, 먹이가 풍부해지면 ciliate로 재변태하여 활발히 증식하였다. In vitro 배양시험 결과 MS BHI 배지에서 비브리오균 (V. lentus)을 먹이로 하여 15$^{\circ}C$에서 최고 2.9${\times}$105 ${m\ell}^{-1}$의 고밀도로 배양되었다. 환경에 대한 적응시험 결과 ciliate는 염분농도 1-55 ppt, 온도 2.5-30$^{\circ}C$, pH 6-9 범위에서 증식이 가능하였다. 특히 0$^{\circ}C$에서도 7일 이상 장시간 생존이 가능하여 환경에 대한 적응력이 매우 뛰어났다. cyst는 먹이가 없는 상태에서 장시간 생존이 가능하였는데, 5$^{\circ}C$에서는 320일 동안 생존하였으며 온도가 높아질수록 생존기간은 짧아졌다. 화합물을 이용한 in vitro 구제시험에서는 포르말린과 과산화수소 모두 200 ppm/1시간 약욕으로 구제효과가 있었으나 화합물의 약욕농도와 시간에 따라 효과가 달랐다.
