Abstract

This study aimed to isolate and identify freshwater algae from the organic agricultural ecosystems and investigate its biological characteristics to study the possibility of utilizing a biomass freshwater algae in organic farming. In the survey area, average water temperature was $12.4{\sim}28.2^{\circ}C$ and the pH ranges were from 6.1 to 8.5. The solid culture method is more suitable than liquid culture method for isolation of freshwater algae with lower contamination level and higher isolation frequency. A total of 115 strains were isolated from six freshwater algae habitats in nine regions in Korea. BGMM (BG11 Modified Medium) amended with NaNO3 and $KNO_3$ as a nitrogen, and $Na_2CO_3$ as carbon source was designed to isolate and culture freshwater algae. Absorbance of freshwater algae culture has increased dramatically to four days and decreased after eight days after inoculation. CHK008 of the seven isolates showed the highest absorbance in seven days after culturing in BGMM. The optimal pH of BGMM for culturing freshwater algae was pH 6-7. As light intensity increased, growth of freshwater algae increased. Among the five kinds of carbon sources, glucose and galactose promoted good growth of freshwater algae in BGMM. The colony color of purified 16 green algae isolates showed a separation of green, dark and light green, and of them, eleven algae strains showed a strong fluorescent light under fluorescence microscopy. Cell size of the green algae showed a wide range of variation depending on the species. General morphology of the green algae strains was spherical. Chlamydomonas sp. was elliptical, and Chlorella sorokiniana was ellipsoidal and cylindrical. All strains of the green algae except for Chlamydomonas sp. did not have flagella. One isolate of Chlamydomonas sp. and five isolates of C. sorokiniana secreted mucus. Sixteen isolates of 16 green algae were identified as two family and six species, Chlorella vulgalis, C. sorokiniana, C. pyrenoidosa, C. kessleri, C. emersonii, and Chlamydomonas sp. based on their morphological characteristics.

본 연구는 유기농업에서 생물자원으로서 담수 클로렐라의 활용 가능성을 연구하고자 유기농 생태계로부터 담수 녹조류를 분리, 동정하고, 생물학적인 특성을 조사하였다. 조사 지역의 수온은 $12.4{\sim}28.2^{\circ}C$, pH는 6.1~8.5이었다. 담수 녹조류를 분리할 때 고체배양법이 액체배양법보다 오염도가 낮고 분리 빈도가 높았다. 전국 9개 지역, 6개 담수 녹조류 서식처로 부터 총 115개의 균주를 분리하였다. 담수 녹조류의 분리 및 배양을 위해 질소원으로는 $NaNO_3$과 $KNO_3$, 탄소원으로 $Na_2CO_3$를 사용하였고, macro media의 구성 성분 중 $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$과 $CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$를 분리하여 제조한 BGMM(BG11 Modified Medium)배지를 고안하였다. 담수녹조류는 배양 후 4일째부터 급격히 흡광도가 증가하였고 8일째부터 흡광도가 감소하였다. 공시한 7개의 균주 중 CHK008 균주가 배양 7일째에 가장 높은 흡광도를 보였다. 담수 녹조류 배양에 적합한 BGMM 배지의 pH는 6~7이었고 조사되는 빛이 강할수록 생육이 증가하였으며 5종류 당류 중에서 Glucose와 Galactose를 첨가하였을 때 클로랄라의 생육이 좋았다. 순수 분리한 16개 녹조류 균주의 균총색은 녹색, 진녹색, 연녹색을 나타내었고, 11개의 균주가 형광현미경하에서 강한 형광 빛을 나타내었다. 녹조류 16개 균주의 형태적인 특징을 조사한 결과 C. vulgalis, C. sorokiniana, C. pyrenoidosa, C. kessleri, C. emersonii, and Chlamydomonas sp.의 2개 속 6개종으로 동정되었다. 담수 녹조류의 세포 크기는 종마다 다양한 변이를 보였다. 대부분의 담수 녹조류의 세포형태는 구형이었다. Chlamydomonas sp.는 타원형이었고 Chlorella sorokiniana는 구형과 타원형이 섞여 있었다. 6개 녹조류 종류 중 Chlamydomonas sp.를 제외한 모든 균주는 편모가 없었다. Chlamydomonas sp. 1개 균주와 C. sorokiniana 5개 균주는 세포에서 점질물을 분비하였다.
