For several decades, lactic acid bacterium (Lactobacillus graminis: LAB) has been generally recognized as safe. To develop the pan-environmental bio-control agent, algicidal activity of the live LAB cell and its culture filtrate (CF) was examined against Microcystis aeruginosa. LAB cells perfectly lysed M. aeruginosa within 3 days, while the CF had a less effect than the live cells, approximately 78% inhibition of algal growth during a same culture period. The concentration of microcystin in alone culture of M. aeruginosa was $7.1{\mu}gL^{-1}$, but gradually increased and leach $158.5{\mu}gL^{-1}$ on 10 days. However, LAB cells clearly decreased the microcystin by $10.3{\mu}gL^{-1}$ in the same period, approximately 93.5%. CF of LAB showed a strong algicidal activity over 75% between pH 2-7, 91.3% by the treatment of proteinase K, 87.8% by below 3 kDa in particle size, and 75.3% by heat treatment, respectively. Of five solvents, fractions of CF passed through solvents diethyl ether and ethyl acetate showed an obvious algicidal activity in the algal-lawn test. Among 5 fractions purified by silica-gel TLC plate, two spots showed a most strong removal activity on M. aeruginosa. Another analysis of GC indicate that CF contained six representative fatty acids. Even though most of these substance have been known as an anti-algal substance against M. aeruginosa, oleic acid is the most effective. These results suggested that the culture filtrate or specific substances, like a fatty acids, in comparison with live L. graminis can be a successful and eco-friendly agent to control Microcystis bloom.

대청호의 추동과 문의수역에 설치된 수중폭기시설의 수질 개선 및 조류저감 효과를 평가하기 위하여, 폭기시설의 영향지점과 대조지점에서 시설의 가동 전 후 수질을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 폭기지점과 대조지점에서 수심에 따른 수온 및 용존산소의 농도 차이는 거의 없었으며, 조류의 주요 성장인자인 총인과 총질소의 농도도 거의 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과로부터 추동과 문의수역에서 폭기시설에 의한 수체 순환 및 영양염류 저감 효과가 크지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 하절기에 심층의 총인 농도가 매우 높았으며, 이는 오염된 퇴적물로부터 용출되었거나 강우에 의해 외부로부터 유입된 것으로 판단되었다. 이 시기에 폭기시설을 가동할 경우 총인이 확산되어 조류의 성장을 촉진시킬 수 있으므로, 폭기시설의 가동 시기를 결정할 때 이를 고려하여야 한다.

전 세계적으로 녹조 대발생은 빈번하게 보고되고 있으며, 국내에서도 매년 녹조로 인한 심각한 수질 오염 문제가 발생하고 있다. 지속적인 관리와 신속한 대응을 통한 수생태계 보호가 필요하다. 녹조 발생의 지표인 chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) 농도를 예측하기 위해 위성 영상을 이용한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 수계에 따라 변하는 분광특성과 대기 보정 오류로 인해 정확한 Chl-a 산출에 어려움이 있어 최근 머신러닝 모델을 활용하고 있다. 위성 분광지수 뿐만 아니라 녹조에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대한 복합적인 고려가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구는 수질, 수문 및 기상 인자와 Sentinel-2 영상을 복합적으로 고려하여 데이터셋을 구축하였다. 최근 5년간 낙동강에 위치한 8개 보 구간의 Chl-a 농도 예측에 대표적인 앙상블 모델 random forest (RF)와 extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)을 활용하였다. 모델 평가 지표로 r-squared score (R²), root mean square errors(RMSE), mean absolute errors (MAE)를 사용하였으며, XGBoost의 R²가 0.810, RMSE가 6.612, MAE가 4.457로 유의미한 결과를 얻은 것을 확인하였다. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) 분석을 통해 두 모델 모두 수질 인자 suspended solids (SS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), dissolved oxygen (DO)과 red edge 밴드를 활용한 밴드비가 높은 중요도를 보인 것을 알 수 있었다. 다양한 입력 데이터는 모델 성능 향상에 도움을 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 국내외 녹조 탐지에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

남조 대발생을 제어하기 위한 생물제재의 처리가 수중 생태계에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 연구의 일환으로, 살조세균 처리이후 증가된 용존성 microcystin-LR (MCLR)이 식물플랑크톤 군집의 종조성 및 현존량, 그리고 조류독소 분포에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지를 파악하기 위하여, MCLR standard를 성격이 다른 3가지 현장수를 넣은 시험관에 대조군, 현장 농도의 10배, 100배 씩 처리하고 식물플랑크톤 생물량, 엽록소 a,환경요인, 독소량 등의 변화를 각각 조사하였다. 규조 Stephanodiscus hantzschii가 압도적으로 우점하였던 천호대교에서는 독소처리이후 현존량은 점차 감소하였으며 종조성은 크게 변하지 않았으며, 규조 Aluacoseira와 황색편모조 Dinobryon이 우점한 길동생태공원에서는 현존량이 크게 감소한 반면, 고농도 처리에서는 녹조 Scenedesmus가 크게 발달하였다. 남조류와 용존성 MCLR 농도가 가장 높았던 양수리 육각지에서는 남조 M. aeruginosa 감소 및 총 현존량의 감소가 일어났다. 이상의 결과는 생물제재 처리이후 남조 M. aeruginosa 사멸에 따른 용존성 독소의 증가가 수중내 식물플랑크톤 군집의 종조성 및 현존량 변화를 더욱 심화시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The fertility of stream water in major streams of the Lake Shihwa Watershed was compared using water analyses and algal growth potential test (AGPT) in typical drought seasons from December 2001 to April 2002, The water quality varied considerably depending on streams. These streams were very rich in inorganic nutrients that the nutrient levels and characteristics of each stream could be easily determined. Through AGPT, 63.6% of growth was observed in the average values of each stream, with non-growth accounting for 36.4%. AGPT results showed that 40.9% of the 22 stations were in hypertrophic condition and 54.5% in eutrophic condition. AGPT values were significantly correlated with TIN, $NH_4$, and SRP (p <0.001); compared to other nutrients, however, they were more related to SRP and $NH_4$. Moreover, the values increased with high concentration of N and P and low N/P ratios. Nonetheless, the values were more dependent on P concentration than N concentration. This suggests that the effect of P on the water quality of lake situated in downstream may serve as a potential indicator of phytoplankton development. Depending on the drainage pattern of streams, the wastewaters of wastewater treatment plant (WwTP) and untreated wastewater (UTW) were found to have 53.4% and 46.6%, respevtively, of TIN, 51.9% and 48.1% of $NH_4$, 62.9% and 37.1% of $NO_3$, 62.6% and 37.4% of SRP, and 44.1% and 55.9% of SRSi. The AGPT value was 51.1% in WwTP wastewater and 48.9% in UTW wastewater, the concentration of WwTP wastewater was slightly higher. For untreated wastewaters flowing into the constructed wetland and into the lake, TIN accounts for 43.0% and 57.0%, respectively, of nitrogen components, $NH_4$ 44.4% and 55.6%, $NO_3$ 39.6% and 60.4%, SRP 53.5% and 46.5%, and SRSi 52.3% and 47.7%, respectively. The AGPT value was 58.0% in the constructed wetland and 42.0% in Lake Shihwa; the concentration in streams flowing into the wetland was slightly higher. Therefore, Persistent and large development of phytoplankton in Lake Shihwa cannot be prevented unless a measure tophytoplankton control is implemented. This is because the concentration of nutrients in specific streams flowing into the lake is very high, even though the inflow of water is low.

축산과 농경배수가 주요 오염원인 소규모 농업용 저수지, 전대저수지에서 2011년 3월부터 2013년 10월까지의 모니터링 결과를 바탕으로 수환경 변화와 조류발생 특성을 분석함으로써, 부영양화된 소형저수지에서의 수환경과 조류발생 (Algal bloom)과의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 2013년의 경우 전년에 비해 강우가 적은 사실을 제외하면 기상의 큰 변화는 없었다. 전대저수지의 TN, TP등 영양염류농도는 농업용수 수질기준을 초과하고 있으며 발생원인이 상이하였다. 조류발생과 수환경요인간의 상관관계가 많은 항목에서 중상관($r{\geq}0.25$)의 관계를 보여주어 부영양 호소에서 COD 발생과 조류발생이 매우 복합적으로 이루어짐을 짐작케 했다. 전대저수지에서 출현한 식물플랑크톤은 총 6과 40속 62종이었으며, 현존량은 $1.3{\times}10^4{\sim}2.8{\times}10^6$ cells $mL^{-1}$로 TN, TP의 농도 감소와 함께 식물플랑크톤의 현존량도 연차별로 점차 감소하였다. 주요 우점종은 남조류인 Anabaena sp., Oscillatoria sp., Microcystis sp. 등이었으며, Oscillatoria sp.의 우점빈도가 가장 높았다. 수온이 증가하면서 Anabaena sp., Microcystis sp., Oscillatoria sp. 순으로 우점종이 변화하였으며, TN이 높은 경우 Anabaena sp., TP가 높은 경우 Microcystis sp.가, TN과 TP가 낮은 경우 Oscillatoria sp.가 우점하였다. N/P ratio는 Anabaena sp. 우점시 가장 높았고, Oscillatoria sp. 우점시 가장 낮았다. Chl-a 농도는 Oscillatoria sp. 우점시 높게 나타나고, 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 Anabaena sp. 우점시 높게 나타났으며, Microcystis sp. 우점시에는 Chl-a와 현존량 모두 낮았다. 이를 통해, 오염이 심각한 소형저수지에서는 Microcystis sp.보다 Anabaena sp.와 Oscillatoria sp.에 의한 대발생이 주로 문제가 됨을 알 수 있었다. Anabaena sp.가 우점할 때는 수환경 요인간의 상관계수가 높아 예측과 관리에 활용이 가능한 반면 Oscillatoria sp. 우점시에는 Chl-a 상관성이 낮게 나타나는 등, 조류대발생을 신속하게 예측하고, 예방, 관리하기 위해서는 조류발생 환경과 원인종의 관계를 규명하고 이를 활용하는 방안이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

A proper flashing light is expected to enhance microalgal biomass productivity and photosynthetic efficiency. The effect of flashing light on high-density Chlorella kessleri (UTEX 398) cultures was studied using light-emitting diodes. A frequency modulator was designed to flash LEDs, and the device successfully provided wide range of frequencies and various duty cycles of flashing. A relatively high frequencies of 10, 20 and 50 kHz were used in this study. These frequencies have very short flashing time ($2-50{\mu}s$), which corresponded to the time constant of the light reaction of photosynthesis. The specific oxygen production rates of photosynthesis under flashing light were compared with those under an equivalent continuous light in specially designed illumination cuvette. The specific oxygen production rates under flashing light were 5-25% higher than those under the continuous light. A range of cell concentration was discovered, where the benefit of flashing light was maximized. The photosynthetic efficiency was also higher under flashing light with frequencies of over 1 kHz, which was a clear indication of flashing light effect and the degree of mutual shading could by overcome by flashing lights, particularly at high-density algal cultures.

The toxin of Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) during summer season has been a problem and early prevention should be considered. A variety of methods can be used to forecast algal blooms and this study aims at examining feasibility of chlorophyll-a. The real-time data were collected by automatic water quality monitoring system (AWQMS) in Daecheong reservoir and invalid data were sorted by experts. And then, the sorted data were filled using linear interpolation. When the concentration of chlorophyll-a increased by $15mg/m^3$, water temperature and pH exceeded $26.8^{\circ}C$ and 9.5 respectively. As a result of correlation between chlorophyll-a and other parameters(i.e. water quality items and hydrological data), temperature (r=0.502 - 0.574), pH (r=0.583 - 0.681), total organic carbon (TOC, r=0.583 - 0.681) comparably had higher values. Meanwhile, the data around a day or two showed the highest correlation. In addition, chlorophyll-a is considered to be significantly effected by precipitation and inflow.

Being autotrophic, algae occupy a trategic place in the biosphere. They produce oxygen both directly and indirectly through the chloroplasts of all green plants. The chloroplasts are believed to have originated from archaic prokaryotic algae through endosymbiosis with primitive eukaryotic cells. Phytoplankton and other algae regulate the global environment not only by releasing oxygen but also by fixing carbon dioxide. They affect water quality, help in the treatment of sewage, and produce biomass. They can be used to produce hydrogen which is a clean fuel, and biodiesel, and fix $N_2$ for use as a biofertilizer. Some other services of algae to the environment include restoration of metal damaged ecosystems, reducing the atmospheric $CO_2$ load and citigating global warming, reclamation of saline-alkaline unfertile lands, and production of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) involved in the regulation of UV radiation. ozone concentration, and global warming. Algae can be valuable in understanding and resolving certain environmental issues.

We investigated the association of Chlorella vulgaris and E. coli W9110 in removal of total organic carbon with the lab-scaled continuous river water flow system (CRWFS). Artificial wastewater was applied at two levels of organic carbon concentration; 1,335 $mg{\cdot}l^{-1}$ in the treatment (T)-1 and 267 $mg{\cdot}l^{-1}$ in T-2. The highest densities of C. vulgaris were $8.3{\times10^6\;cells{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ in T-1 and $6.9{\times}10^6\;cells{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ in T-2. The maximum densities of E. coli W3110 were $2.0{\times}10^8$ clony forming unit (CFU)${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ in T-1 and $3.9{\times}10^8\;CFU{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ in T-2. The densities increased during the first 11 days in T-q and 4 days in T-2, and decreased rapidly till 35th day, then increased slightly afterwards. This trend was prominent in T-2. It was inplied that wider range of nutrients was required in the growth of heterotrophic bacteria in T-2 than in T-1. The algal biomass should be increased effectively for the successful removal of organic carbon.
