To evaluate the nutritive values of outdoor mass cultivated Spirulina platensis both chemical analysis and bioassay were carried out using adult cockerels. Blue-green algae, Spirulina platensis contained about 71g /l00g DM of crude protein with balanced amino acid profiles although methionine is liable to he limiting to animals. Compared to fish meal, calcium content and calcium : phosphorus ratio of the Spirulina were not suitable in terms of animal requirements. Reasonable amount of y-linolenic acid(C18: 3 $\omega$6) in Spirulina platensis draws a clinical attention due to its historically recognized pharmacotheraputic functions. Metabolizable energy contents of Spirulina were 3.67 and 3.11 mcal /kg DM for TMEn and AMFn, respectively, which therefore, can he a reliable energy source for poultry. True amino acid availabilities of essential amino acids of Spirulina platensis were higher than 90% for poultry, which is better than comparative ingredient like fish meal. Overall data from both chemical analysis and bioassay demonstrated that the Spirulina platensis could he a favorable protein feedstuffs for poultry.

To evaluate the nutritional values of Spirulina platensis as the protein supplement for laying heo diet, two experimental diets (Control, Spirulina platensis 2%) were prepared. Total 120, 40-wk old ISA Brown layer hens were randomly employed with 15 hens per replicate and 4 replicates per treatment. Hen-day egg production, egg weight, feed intake, intake /egg weight, egg shell thickness, yolk color score and yolk cholesterol content were examined during 6 weeks of experimental period. Hen-day egg production and feed conversion ratio (intake /egg weight) were significantly (P<0.01) improved by the 2% Spirulina plalensis supplementation. However, there were no differences in egg weight and feed intake between hens fed two experimental diets. Egg from hens fed Spirulina platensis 2% diet have more yellowish yolk color than the control egg although there was no difference in egg shell thickness. Yolk cholesterol content was significantly (P

중금속 제거를 위한 조류 Spirulina platensis의 생물흡착 특성에 관해 연구하기 위하여, 조류 균체와 Ca-alginate를 이용하여 조류를 고정화한 고정체에 대하여 각각 회분식반응기에서 Pb와 Cu의 제거 실험을 하였다. Spirulina platensis 균체에 의한 Pb와 Cu의 생물흡착은 20분 이내에 흡착평형에 도달하였다. Pb와 Cu의 흡착량은 초기 농도가 증가하거나 용액의 pH가 높아짐에 따라 증가하여, pH 4.5$\sim$5.0에서 최적 조건을 나타내었다. Pb 혹은 Cu의 농도가 200 mg/L일 때, Spirulina platensis의 단위 무게당 흡착된 Pb와 Cu의 최대 흡착량은 각각 86.43과 57.02 mg/g이었으며, 이는 같은 조건에서 활성탄보다 1.94와 1.48배 높은 값이다. Spirulina platensis 균체에 의한 Pb와 Cu의 흡착특성은 Freundlich와 Langmuir 흡착등온식에 의해 잘 해석되었으며, Langmuir 흡착등온식에 의해 구한 흡착제 단위 무게당 흡착되는 Pb 혹은 Cu의 최대 흡착량($q_{max}$)은 각각 95.24와 62.50 mg/g이었다. Sp. platensis 균체에 대한 FT-IR 분석결과 여러 가지의 기능기들을 확인하였고, 이러한 기능기들이 수용액상에서 금속 이온과 반응할 수 있다. 조류 Spirulina platensis를 Ca-alginate를 이용하여 고정화한 고정체에 의한 Pb와 Cu의 생물흡착의 경우, 40분 정도에 흡착평형에 도달하여 균체에 의한 경우에 비하여 약간의 확산제한이 관찰되었다.

관형 광생물 반응기를 이용하여 반응기내로 들어가는 $CO_2$ 혼합기체의 농도와 유속에 따른 S. platenis 성장 특성을 분석하였다. S. platensis 성장 곡선을 분석한 결과 3% $CO_2$ 혼합기체를 150 ml/min의 유속으로 흘려 줄 때 가장 빠른 성장 특성을 보여 주었다. 반면 6% $CO_2$ 혼합기체 50 ml/min 경우는 본 실험 조건 중 S. platenis 성장에 유리하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 시간에 따른 접종 배지의 pH 변화를 분석한 결과 관형 광생물 반응기내로 흘려주는 유속에 상관없이 $CO_2$ 혼합기체 농도에 따라 일정한 pH를 형성함을 알 수 있었다. 이는 접종 배지내에 일정하게 흘려주는 $CO_2$ 기체로 인해 배지내에 탄산염 시스템이 형성됨을 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 시간에 따른 비성장 속도를 분석한 결과 모든 실험 조건에서 지수성장기 동안 비성장 속도가 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 이는 광합성 미세조류인 S. platenis의 농도 증가가 오히려 관형 광생물 반응기로 복사되는 빛 에너지의 투과도를 약화시켜 S. platenis의 성장을 저해 한다고 볼 수 있다.

Ultrasonified extracts from seawater-based cultures of the microalga Spiyulina platensis were obtained using water and ethanol at 60 and 100$^{\circ}C$. The yield of the aqueous fraction of S. platensis extracted using ultrasonification was about 33.46%. The cytotoxicity against HEK293 and inhibition ratios of the cancer cell lines A549, AGS, MCF7, and Hep3B were measured using the sulforhodamine-B (SRB) assay. The cytotoxicity of all extracts at 1.0 mg/mL was below 26%. The cytotoxicity of the ultrasonified extracts from the seawater-based culture of the microalga Spirulina platensis was about 4% less than that of Spirulina platensis without ultrasonification. The inhibition ratio of cancer cell growth was approximately 80% for 1.0 mg/mL extracts. The inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth was greater for seawater containing ultrasonified Spirulina platensis extracts than for extracts without ultrasonification. The differentiation ratio of HL-60 cells was 160.9%. Densitometric analysis of Bcl-2 revealed that the ultrasonified extracts had greater anticancer activity than the extracts without ultrasonification.

Abstract Spirulina platensis was grown in SWlUe waste to reduce inorganic compowlds and simultaneously produce feed resources. Spirulina platensis prefers nitrogenous compounds in Ibe order: $NH_4^{+}-N>NO_3^{-}-N>simple-N$ such as urea and simple amino acids. It even consumes $NH_4^{+}-N$ first when urea or nitrate are present. Therefore, the content of residual $NH_4^{+}-N$ in Spimlina platensis cultures can be determined by the relative extent of the following processes: (i) algal uptake and assimilation; (ii) ammonia stripping; and (iii) decomposition of urea to NH;-N by urease-positive bacteria. The removal rates of total nitrogen ffild total phosphorus were estimated as an indicator of the treatment effIciency. It was found that Spirulina platensis was able to reduce 70-93% of $P_4^{3-}-P$, 67-93% of inorganic nitrogen, 80-90% of COD, and 37-56% of organic nitrogen in various concentrations of swine waste over 12 days of batch cultivation. The removal of inorganic compounds from swine waste was mainly used for cell growth, however, the organic nitrogen removal was not related to cell growlb. A maximum cell density of 1.52 dry-g/l was maintained with a dilution rate of 0.2l/day in continuous cultivation by adding 30% swine waste. The nitrogen and phosphorus removal rates were correlated to the dilution rates. Based on the amino acid profile, the quality of the proteins in the Spirulina platensis grown in the waste was the same as that in a clean culture.ulture.

Cultivation of Spirulina platensis using ammonium salts or wastewater containing ammonium as alternative nitrogen sources is considered as a commercial way to reduce the production cost. In this research, by analyzing the relationship between biomass production and ammonium-N consumption in the fed-batch culture of Spirulina platensis using ammonium bicarbonate as a nitrogen nutrient source, an online adaptive control strategy based on optical density (OD) measurements for controlling ammonium feeding was presented. The ammonium concentration was successfully controlled between the cell growth inhibitory and limiting concentrations using this OD-based feedback feeding method. As a result, the maximum biomass concentration (2.98 g/l), productivity (0.237 g/l d), nitrogen-to-cell conversion factor (7.32 gX/gN), and contents of protein (64.1%) and chlorophyll (13.4mg/g) obtained by using the OD-based feedback feeding method were higher than those using the constant and variable feeding methods. The OD-based feedback feeding method could be recognized as an applicable way to control ammonium feeding and a benefit for Spirulina platensis cultivations.

Outdoor cultivation of cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis was carried out for 40 days in a batch mode. A half concentration of the SOT based on the underground water was used as culture medium. Working volume was 5.7 tons with 0.2 m depth. During cultivation, mean water temperature, DO and light intensity were all in proper conditions for the S. platensis growth. The adjustment of pH to over 10 with Na2CO3 and addition of the 1.5% natural salt were very effective to delete contaminant organisms, Chlamydomonas moewusii and Chlorella minutissima occurred one after the other in the culture. The mean productivity of the biomass based on the dry cell weight from 14 to 25 days, after the contaminants were deleted, was 7.8 g ·m–2· d–1, which was relatively high productivity in that a half concentration of the SOT was used for the culture. Underground water used in the culture minimized contaminants invasion and addition of the 1.5% natural salt was effective to delete contaminants as well as acted as mineral supplement in outdoor cultivation of S. platensis. Harvesting using the floating activity of S. platensis was effective from mass floating in day time after overnight without agitation and illumination.
