The objectives of this review were to synthesize the community structure of phytoplankton and the role of atelomix in the phytoplankton dynamics in Ethiopian highland lakes. Changes in a lake's physical structure, light dynamics, and availability of nutrients are closely associated with phytoplankton ecology, and phytoplankton assemblages provide insight into phytoplank- ton responses to these environmental changes. Based on the available information, a total of 173 species of phytoplankton are grouped under seven classes, Chlorophyceae (80 taxa), Bacillariophyceae (55 taxa), Cyanophyceae (24 taxa), Dinophyceae (6 taxa), Eugleonophyceae (6 taxa), Xanthophyceae (1 taxon), and Cryptophyceae (1 taxon) were recorded in five different tropical Ethiopian highland lakes. Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae dominated in terms of species composition. Partial atelomixis, seasonality, and low nutrient concentrations seem to be the main drivers in structuring phytoplankton composition and abun-dances in Ethiopian highland lakes, characterized by a high diversity of atelomix-dependent benthic diatoms and desmids. Thus, this review will help understand the role of atelomix and nutrient availability in the phytoplankton composition and biomass of tropical highland lakes of Ethiopia.

본 연구는 2013년 고성군 화당리에 있는 7개 지점에 대한 식물 플랑크톤의 공간적 분포, 계절적 분포, 표층과 심층의 깊이에 따른 빈도에 대해 기술한 것이다. 화당리에서 식물 플랑크톤 군집은 3강 60분류군으로 다양하였다. 규조강(Bacillariophyceae)은 41분류군으로 가장 높은 다양성을 나타내었으며 그 다음으로는 와편모강(Dinophyceae)으로 16분류군이었고, 황금색조식물강(Cryptophyceae)이 2분류군, 유글레나식물강(Eugenophyceae)이 1분류 군이었다. 표층은 비교적 높은 밀도와 풍부도를 유지하고 있었다. 그런데 Shannon-Weaver의 다양도 지수는 1월을 제외하고는 표층보다 저층에서 더 높았다. 또 균등도 지수도 1월을 제외하고는 표층보다 저층에서 더 높았다. 전체 군집에 대해 ${\beta}$-다양도는 낮거나(7개 정점의 공간적 표층은 1.125, 저층은 1.481) 보통(7개 정점의 시간적 표층은 1.725, 저층은 1.347)이었다. 계절에 따라서는 식물 플랑크톤의 군집 간에 분류학적 동질성이 있었다. 깊이에 대해서도 역시 동질성을 나타내었다. 그러나 풍부도의 분포와 생체량은 동-서 방향 구배가 유의한 차이를 나타내었다.

결론적으로 전체 식물플랑크톤과 소형식물플랑크톤의 생체량이 높았던 2월에는 규조류 S. costatum과 Thalassiosira spp.가 우점하였으며 특히 내측해역에서 높은 농도를 보였는데 이는 2월의 낮은 수온과 내측해역의 풍부한 규산염에 의한 영향으로 판단된다. 5월에는 전체 식물플랑크톤과 소형식물플랑크톤이 상당히 감소하였는데 이는 영양염의 감소 특히 인산염 제한에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 5월에는 미소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높게 나타났고 규조류 Rhizosolenia spp.와 Pseudo-nitzschia spp.가 우점하였으나 2월에 비해 낮은 chlorophyll a 농도를 나타내고 있으며 이는 낮은 농도의 영양염 특히 DIN:DIP와 Si:DIP의 분포를 통해서도 알 수 있듯이 인산염의 농도가 크게 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 담수 유입으로 인해 내측해역의 염분이 낮았던 7월에는 소형식물플랑크톤이 평균 58.4%의 기여율을 보였으며, 미소형식물플랑크톤은 평균 32.6%의 기여율을 보여주고 있다. 또한 내측해역에서 monad type의 phytoflagellate와 남조류 Oscillatoria spp.가 우세하였고 외측해역에서는 S. costatum이 우세하게 나타났다. 9월에는 7월과 마찬가지로 염분이 낮은 내측해역에서는 미소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높았으며 monad type의 phytoflagellate가 우점하였고 외측 해역에서는 소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높았으며 규조류 Chaetocems spp.가 새로운 우점속으로 출현하였다. 이와 같이 아산만의 환경적인 변화에 따라서 우점속의 변화를 가져왔으며 이런 우점속의 변화는 식물플랑크톤 군집의 계절적 변화를 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 식물플랑크톤 군집에 대한 연구가 부족했던 아산만의 식물플랑크톤 역학을 이해하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 2017년 4월부터 10월까지 북한강 수계 3개의 연속댐(의암호(UA), 청평호(CP), 팔당호(PD))의 미소생물 군집과 이취미 농도와 관계를 알아보기 위해 환경요인, 이 취미 물질, 미소생물 군집 등을 조사하였다. 3개 저수지의 박테리아 군집은 주로 Actinobacteria와 Betaproteobacteria가 우점 분류군으로 나타났으며, 계절성은 나타나지 않았다. 식물플랑크톤 군집은 봄철, 규조류 및 은편모조류 여름철 남조류, 가을철 규조류 및 은편모조류 순서로 우점하는 계절성을 보였으며, 북한강 수계에서 출현한 남조류는 Dolichospermum spp., Microcystis aeruginosa, Pseudanabaena spp. 속이 우점 출현하였다. 북한강 수계에 출현한 미소생물 중 이취미 물질을 발생하는 분류군은 Actinobacteria와 남조 Anabaena, Pseudanabaena 속 등이며, 이취미 물질인 Geosmin과 2-MIB가 높게 나타났을 때, 높은 현존량으로 출현하였다. 미소생물과 이취미 물질의 상관관계는 Actinobacteria의 경우 2-MIB (r=0.491, p<0.01)와 유의한 상관성을 나타냈으며, 남조류의 경우 geosmin (r=0.381, p<0.05), 2-MIB (r=0.386, p<0.05)와 유의한 상관성을 나타냈다. 따라서, 북한강 수계에서 나타나는 이취미 물질은 Actinobacteria 및 남조류의 출현과 직접적인 관계가 있을 것으로 사료되며, 남조류 미출현 시 발생하는 높은 농도의 이취미 물질은 Actinobacteria가 생성하는 것으로 판단된다.

Phytoplankton species composition and ecological index (diversity, evenness, richness and dominance) were analysed from April 2013 to March 2014 at 10 stations of cupped oyster, Crassostrea gigas culture area in Iwon coast, Korea. Seasonal and positional variation of phytoplankton standing crops, biomass, dominant species and water quality were distinctively different according to occasionally inflow of Iwon dam reservoired water. The composition of phytoplankton species were Bacillariophyceae 98, Dinophycease 22, Chlorophycease 13, Cyanophyceae 8, Silicofalgellate 4, Euglenophyceae 2, Cryptophyceae 1 species. The most dominant species was Bacillariophyceae as 64.0%. The highest biomass of phytoplankton recorded in September as $40,910{\times}10^3$ cell/L at the station 1, near from inland water inflow area. Ecological indices (diversity, richness, evenness, and dominance index), used for structural change of phytoplankton community and water quality (temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity) showed difference of spatiotemporal property also.

Rhodomonas salina is a phototrophic marine flagellate. We examined the ultrastructure of R. salina with particular attention to the flagellar apparatus by transmission electron microscopy and compared it with that of other cryptomonads reported previously. The major components of the flagellar apparatus in R. salina were a keeled rhizostyle (Rhs), a striated fibrous root(SR), a SR-associated microtubular root (SRm), a mitochondrion-associated lamella (ML), and three types of microtubular roots (9r, 4r, and 2r). The keeled Rhs originated near the proximal end of the dorsal basal body, passed near the nucleus and dissociated at the posterior end of the cell. The SR and SRm originated between two basal bodies and laterally extended to the right side of the cell. The ML originated between two basal bodies and extended to the left side of the cell. The 9r originated between the ventral basal body and the Rhs and extended toward the anterior dorsal lobe of the cell. The 4r originated near the 9r and extended toward the dorsal lobe with the 2r, which originated between two basal bodies. Here, the flagellar apparatus in R. salina is described, and the ultrastructure of the flagellar apparatus is compared among cryptomonad species.

Cryptomonas curvata Ehrenberg is a photosynthetic freshwater flagellate and the type species of the genus Cryptomonas. We examined the flagellar apparatus of cryptomorphic C. curvata by transmission electron microscopy. The major components of the flagellar apparatus are the non-keeled rhizostyle (Rhs), striated fibrous root (SR), striated fiber-associated microtubular root (SRm), mitochondrion-associated lamella (ML), and two types of microtubular roots (3r and 2r). The non-keeled Rhs originate at the ventral basal body and consist of two types of microtubule bands extending together into the middle of the cell. The SR and SRm extend parallel to the left side of the cell. The ML originates from the ventral basal body and is a plate-like fibrous structure associated with mitochondria. The 3r extends from the dorsal basal body toward the dorsal anterior of the cell. The 2r originates between the two basal bodies and extends shortly to the left of the cell. The overall configuration of the flagellar apparatus is most similar to that previously reported for C. pyrenoidifera. These results demonstrate that the features of the flagellar apparatus are useful for distinguishing closely related species and inferring phylogenetic relationships among taxa.

Three embankments, namely Changpo, Bokkil and Guil, in Chunggye Bay were investigated to assess the influence of environmental changes to phytoplankton size structure, distribution of species and standing crops. Three stations was sampled near at each embankment in Nov. 2006, Feb. 2007, May 2007 and Aug. Phytoplankton were classified into net-size (>20${\mu}m$) and nano-size (<20${\mu}m$). In summer, the freshwater discharge seemed to have influence in the decrease of salinity and in the increase of turbidity, ammonium and phosphorus concentrations. Chl a concentration and phytoplankton abundance in Feb. 2007 were observed to be generally higher in all stations compared to other periods. Net-size phytoplankton was observed to be higher in Feb. 2007 and May 2007 compared to nano-sized phytoplankton. However, there was shift in phytoplankton composition in Nov. 2006 and Aug. 2007. Phytoplankton under seven class (Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Cryptophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, Euglenophyceae) was identified during the study period. It was found out that the major phytoplankton class was Bacillariophyceae. Phytoplankton was more diverse in autumn compared to any other season. Cyanophyceae was increased in summer. In rainy season, change in physical factors (salinity, transparency) seemed to have more influence on phytoplankton growth compared to inorganic nutrients.

The genus Cryptomonas is easily recognized by having two flagella, green brownish color, and a swaying behavior. They have relatively simple morphology, and limited diagnostic characters, which present a major difficulty in differentiating between species of the genus. To understand species delineation and phylogenetic relationships among Cryptomonas species, the nuclear-encoded internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2), partial large subunit (LSU) and small subunit ribosomal DNA (rDNA), and chloroplast-encoded psbA and LSU rDNA sequences were determined and used for phylogenetic analyses, using Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods. In addition, nuclear-encoded ITS2 sequences were predicted to secondary structures, and were used to determine nine species and four unidentified species from 47 strains. Sequences of helix I, II, and IIIb in ITS2 secondary structure were very useful for the identification of Cryptomonas species. However, the helix IV was the most variable region across species in alignment. The phylogenetic tree showed that fourteen species were monophyletic. However, some strains of C. obovata had chloroplasts with pyrenoid while others were without pyrenoid, which used as a key character in few species. Therefore, classification systems depending solely on morphological characters are inadequate, and require the use of molecular data.

Relative to the large number of photosynthetic dinoflagellate species, only a select few possess proteinaceous, carotenoid-rich eyespots which have been demonstrated in other algae to act in phototactic responses. The proteins comprising the different categories of dinoflagellate eyespots are positioned in or near the peridinin-containing photosynthetic plastid membranes which are composed primarily of two galactolipids, mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG). Within eyespot-containing dinoflagellates, this arrangement occurs mostly in those with secondary plastids, although some dinoflagellates with tertiary plastids of diatom origin are known to possess eyespots. We here provide an examination of the MGDG and DGDG composition of eyespot-containing dinoflagellates with secondary, peridinin-containing plastids and tertiary plastids of diatom origin to address the fundamental question of whether eyespots and their component proteins and carotenoids are associated with alterations in galactolipid composition when compared to eyespot-lacking photosynthetic dinoflagellates. This is an important question because the dinoflagellate eyespot-plastid membrane system can be considered a more complicated and evolved state of plastid development. Included in this examination are data on the previously unexamined peridinin- and type A eyespot-containing dinoflagellate Margalefidinium polykrikoides, and the type D eyespot-containing, aberrant plastid "dinotom" Durinskia baltica. In addition, we have reviewed the galactolipid composition of algae from the Chlorophyceae, Cryptophyceae, and Euglenophyceae as a comparison to determine if algal classes apart from the Dinophyceae contain altered galactolipids in association with eyespots. We conclude that the presence of an eyespot in dinoflagellates and other algae is not associated with noticeable changes in galactolipid composition.
