Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine optimum value of aeration, acetate dosage, and $CO_2$ input for the cultivation of Scenedesmus acuminatus. Highest specific growth rate and maximum biomass productivity was obtained by the aeration of 0.72 vvm and lower specific growth rates and maximum biomass productivity were obtained for other aeration tests. When putting 0.3 M of ammonium acetate in JM medium, the highest specific growth rate and maximum biomass productivity were obtained. $CO_2$ input tests were performed during semi-continuous culturing tests. The highest specific growth rate ($0.460d^{-1}$) and maximum biomass productivity ($0.936gL^{-1}d^{-1}$) were obtained after replacing 50% of solution with 0.3 M of acetate solution for $CO_2$ input tests. However, more dilutions after the first dilution resulted in lower specific growth rate and maximum biomass productivity. In aeration tests, the highest specific growth rate ($0.381d^{-1}$) and maximum biomass productivity ($0.253gL^{-1}d^{-1}$) were obtained when cultivating it with JM medium, but the specific growth rate and maximum biomass producitivty were significantly decreased when 50% of solution was replaced by acetate containing solution.

본 연구는 혼합영양생물인 Scenedesmus acuminatus의 최적배양조건을 찾기 위한 연구로서 최적 공기주입량, 아세테이트 주입량, $CO_2$ 주입에 대해 실험을 진행하였다. 공기주입량은 0.72 vvm에서 최대 비성장속도와 최대바이오매스 생산량을 얻을 수 있었으며, 0.3 M의 아세테이트를 주입하였을 때 최대 비성장속도와 최대바이오매스 생산량을 얻었다. 반연속배양에서는 추가로 $CO_2$ 주입이 배양에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. $CO_2$ 주입 실험에서는 아세테이트로 50% 치환한 후에 최대비성장속도($0.460d^{-1}$)와 최대바이오매스 생산성($0.936gL^{-1}d^{-1}$)을 얻을 수 있었으며 이후 치환이 계속될수록 최대비성장속도와 최대바이오매스 생산성은 지속적으로 감소하였다. 공기주입 실험에서는 JM 배지로 배양할 때 가장 높은 비성장속도($0.381d^{-1}$)와 최대바이오매스 생산성($0.253gL^{-1}d^{-1}$)을 보여주었지만 이후 아세테이트를 함유한 배지로 50% 치환하였을 때 오히려 초기값보다 감소하는 것을 관찰하였다.
