본 연구는 오존에 노출된 회화나무 8 가계에서 측정한 생리적 지표들을 대상으로, 오존에 대한 민감성을 평가하고, 이 결과들을 종합하여 가계 간 차이를 구명하고자 실시하였다. 회화나무(Sophora japonica L.) 8가계를 대상으로 오존 처리 후, 광합성 특성, 엽록소 함량, 항산화효소 활성 및 MDA 함량을 측정하였고, 각 측정 지표들의 표준화 지수를 이용하여 내성 순위를 결정하였다. 탄소고정효율은 6번 가계를 제외한 모든 가계에서 오존 처리 후 뚜렷하게 감소하였으며, 탄소고정효율의 감소율은 -38%에서 -67% 범위를 보였다. 또한 순양자수율은 7번 가계를 제외한 모든 가계에서 오존 처리 후 뚜렷한 감소를 보였으며, 감소율은 -27%에서 -61%를 나타냈다. 엽록소 a를 비롯한 광색소 함량의 가계 간 차이는 컸으나, 오존 처리 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 오존 처리 후, SOD 활성의 증가율은 7%에서 64%로, 가계 간 차이가 뚜렷하였다. APX 활성은 모든 가계에서 오존 처리 후 증가하였으며, 7번 가계가 가장 큰 활성 증가율(218%)을 보였다. 표준화 지수를 기준으로 할 때, 6번 가계의 내성 수준이 가장 낮았으며, 7번 가계의 내성 수준이 가장 높았다. 6번 가계는 오존 처리 후 탄소고정효율을 비롯한 광합성 특성의 감소율과 광색소 함량의 감소율이 높게 나타난 반면, 내성을 나타내는 항산화효소의 활성 증가가 매우 적었다. 반대로 내성 수준이 높은 7번 가계는 오존 처리 후 광합성 특성의 감소율이 다른 가계에 비해 적었으며, 광색소 함량은 오히려 오존처리 후 증가하였고, 항산화효소의 증가율도 다른 가계에 비해 높게 나타났다.

Chlorophyll (ChI) a' is the Cl3$^2$-epimer of ChI a which is the constituent of P700, the primary electron donor of Photosystem (PS) I, of a thrmophilic cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus, whose structure was recently determined by X-ray crystallography. To determine whether PS I of diverse oxygenic photosynthetic organisms universally contain one molecule of ChI a ’, pigment compositions of thylakoid membranes and PS I complexes isolated from cyanobacteria, green algae, red algae and higher plants were determined by reversed-phase HPLC. The results show that involvement of one ChI a'molecule in PS I is the universal feature for Chi a-based PS I of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms.

디노프라젤레이트(dinoflagellate)들의 광채취색소단백질들은 안데나색소복합체들 내에서 카로테노이드(페리디닌)로부터 크로필 a로 실질적으로 100%의 효율을 갖는 에너지전달현상을 보여준다. 이와같이 디노프라젤레이트에서 광합성을 위한 태양에너지의 채취가 (특히 청(靑)색광에서) 높은 효율로 일어나는 것은 단백질표면의 갈라진 틈안에 위치한 페리디닌과 프로로필 a의 독특한 분자배치에 기인하는 것이다. 고등식물에서 가로테노이드와 크로로필 a 사이에 일어나는 에너지 전달메카니즘에 관해서도 디노프라젤레이트 안데나 색소복합체들과 비교해서 고찰하였다. Algae에서 광합성을 위한 태양에너지, 특히 적(赤)색광의 채취를 다룬 하나의 예로서 Chroomonas Species의 보조광합성색소단백질인 크로오오 모나스 피코시아닌의 분자토포그라피와 에너지전달도 역시 고찰하였다.

The biocide sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used for controlling algal growth, and this application can be extended to marine environments as well. This study evaluates the biocidal efficiency and cellular toxicity of NaOCl on the harmful dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides, with emphasis on pigment production and antioxidant enzyme activity. The test organism showed dose-dependent decrease in growth rate on exposure to NaOCl, and the 72 h $EC_{50}$ was measured to be $0.584mg\;L^{-1}$. NaOCl significantly decreased pigment levels and chlorophyll autofluorescence intensity, indicating possible detrimental effects on the photosystem of C. polykrikoides. Moreover, it significantly increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, suggesting the production of reactive oxygen species in the cells. These data indicate that NaOCl exerted deleterious effects on the photosynthetic machinery and induced oxidative damage in the dinoflagellate and this biocide could be effectively used for the control of algal blooms.

We tested the field adaptation of Betula schmidtii on the abandoned coal-mine soil with sludge amendment methods for promoting physiological activity of B. schmidtii seedlings under several environmental stress. Sewage sludges were amended to coal-mine soil with B. schmidtii seedlings which grown in the mixture of artificial soil and composted sludge soil before transplanting (before-fertilized treatment, BF) and fertilized with composted sludge after transplanting (after-fertilized treatment, AF). The percent of establishment of seedlings for AF (80.7%) was lower than that for BF (92.7%). Nitrate reductase activity and photosynthetic pigment content were higher in AF than in BF, but malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were lower in AF than in BF These results represent that after-fertilized seedlings increase resistance against physiological stress at field condition using nitrogen source of composted sludge. On the contrary, before-fertilized seedlings were susceptible to environmental stress on abandoned coal-mine soil by exhausting of nitrogen source from composted sludge.

Pigments and thylakoid membrane proteins were investigated in wild type and PS I- mutants from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 Comparing morphological features, B2 was less fluorescent than the other strains. The contents of chlorophyll a were propotional to the FNR activity in thylakoid membrane. The FNR activity of mutants was lower than that of wild type. In the result of pigments analysis, mutants had smaller cholophyll a than that of wild type. The major carotenoid was found to he $\beta$-caroene, but aeaxanthin was barely detected in thylakoid membrane of mutants. The polypeptide, 14.8kD was detected by electrophoresis in mutants. It was considered to be the modification of 15.4kD in wild type. Membrane polypeptides of 17.6 and 19.7kD were not detected in mutants. In the result of western blotting, subunit I was detected in all strains, but subunit II was barely detected in mutants. Subunit II was not detected in B2 at all. In view of the results so far achieved, the changes of contents of chlorophyll and zeaxanthin were affected by the defficiency or modification of functional domain in subunit I. Also the modification in subunit I affected the subunit II- binding site in PS I. As the result, efficiency of photosynthesis was decreased. Key words: Synechoystis sp. PCC6803, PS I - mutant, Photosynthetic efficiency, Pigment,Thylakoid membrane proteins, Subunit I, II.

Three macrophytes species, that are, Phragmites australis, Zizania latifolia and Typha angustifolia were grown in mono culture in order to compare growth (relative biomass increase rate), variation of photosynthetic pigment (total chlorophyll, Chl a, Chl b and Chl a/Chl b) and effectiveness of nutriment removal in 15%o NaCl-salt solution or processed-leachate (salinity 19.6%o) from sanitary landfill sites. The relative biomass increase rate of p. australis was significantly higher than Z. latifolia and T. angustifolia. In the case of processed-leachate treatment, the relative biomass increase rates of above-part, rhizome and root of P. australiswere 178 %, 148 % and 157 %, respectively. Also, in 15%o NaCl-salt solution treatment, the relative biomass increase rates of P. australis increased as follows; 161 % (above-part), 183 % (rhizome) and 112 % (root). Total chlorophyll contents increased significantly in the leaves of P. australis and Z. latifolia grown in 15%o NaCl-salt solution and processed-leachate. Among three macrophytes, P. australis was evaluated as most effective macrophyte for the biological retreatment of processed-leachate from sanitary landfill sites.

We assessed whether the cow1 mutant defects are associated with growth of Tos17 and T-DNA insertional rice in blue light (BL). Growth of oscow1 mutants which encoded a member of the YUCCA protein family was retarded in BL. Root to shoot ratios of the mutants were reduced about 2 times lower in the absence of NAA and about 2.5 times lower in the presence of NAA; the shoot growth was not significantly changed by NAA addition. Photosynthetic activity of the mutants was however inhibited in high light. Pigment analysis showed significant difference between wild-type (Chl a:b = 3.02) and mutants (3.84). Carotenoid contents of the mutants were also decreased considerably, implying the involvement of cow1 in pigment formation. These findings lead us to suggest that the growth retardation of oscow1 mutant plants by BL results from the difference of photosynthetic activity in part.

Increasing inputs of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to northern lakes is resulting in 'lake browning.' Lake browning profoundly affects phytoplankton community composition by modifying two important environmental drivers-light and nutrients. The impact of increased DOM on native isolates of red and green-pigmented cyanobacteria identified as Pseudanabaena, which emerged from a Dolichospermum bloom (Dickson Lake, Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada) in 2015, were examined under controlled laboratory conditions. The genomes were sequenced to identify phylogenetic relatedness and physiological similarities, and the physical and chemical effects of increased DOM on cellular performance and competitiveness were assessed. Our study findings were that the isolated red and green phenotypes are two distinct species belonging to the genus Pseudanabaena; that both isolates remained physiologically unaffected when grown independently under defined DOM regimes; and that neither red nor green phenotype achieved a competitive advantage when grown together under defined DOM regimes. While photosynthetic pigment diversity among phytoplankton offers niche-differentiation opportunities, the results of this study illustrate the coexistence of two distinct photosynthetic pigment phenotypes under increasing DOM conditions.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph(HPLC)를 이용하여 식물플랑크톤의 광합성색소를 분석한 결과를 토대로 CHEMTAX 프로그램을 이용하여 식물플랑크톤 군집조성을 추정하는 방법이 많이 이용되고 있다. CHEMTAX 프로그램은 식물플랑크톤 군집별(class level)로 체내에 존재하는 주요색소의 chlorophyll a에 대한 상대적인 비 값을 기초로 분석을 한다 본 연구는 국내 해역에서 분리한 식물플랑크톤 군집별 주요 종들이 가지는 광합성색소의 상대적인 비 값을 파악하고 이 자료를 기초로 남해안에 위치한 여자만과 가막만에서 측정한 광합성색소 분석결과에 대해서 CHEMTAX 프로그램을 이용하여 식물플랑크톤의 군집조성을 파악하였다. 국내해역에 존재하는 같은 군집종들 사이에서도 주요색소의 상대적인 비 값은 차이를 보였으며, 국외의 다른 해역에서 제시된 상대적인 비 값과도 상당한 차이를 보였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 비 값을 기초로 식물플랑크톤 군집조성을 분석한 결과, 다른 해역에서 제시된 비 값을 이용하여 분석한 결과와 유의한 차이를 보였다. 우점하는 군집(bacillariophyceae와 dinophytes)에 대해서는 5% 이내에서 차이를 보였으며, 비록 chlorophyll a에 대해서 낮은 기여도를 보이지만 pico와 nano 크기의 군집들(cyanophytes와 prasinophytes)에서는 상당한 차이(2배 이상)를 보였다. 비록 HPLC-CHEMTAX 분석방법은 식물플랑크톤 군집조성 연구에 유용하게 이용되고 있지만, 보다 정확한 결과와 식물플랑크톤의 생리, 생태를 이해하기 위해서는 연구해역에 존재하는 식물플랑크톤 종들에 대한 주요색소의 상대적인 비 값에 대한 연구가 계속적으로 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
