최근 지구온난화 및 식량문제에 대한 관심이 증대되면서 그 해결책으로 미세조류에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 광합성 미세조류 Spirulina platensis는 이산화탄소를 고정할 수 있으며, 영양적 가치가 우수하여 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Spirulina platensis NIES 39의 대량 배양을 위한, 배양온도, 초기 pH, 조도, 탄소와 질소원의 농도 등의 요인에 대한 최적 조건을 확립하고자 하였다. 배양 온도 $35^{\circ}C$에서 초기 pH 9.5, 조도 4500 lux에서 건조균체중량 2.10 g/L, 클로로필 함량 29.53 mg/L로 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었으며, 이때의 탄소원과 질소원의 농도는 각각 16.8 g/L $NaHCO_3$, 2.5 g/L $NaNO_3$이었다.

The growth and amino acid contents of the cyanobacterium, Spirulina platensis strain NIES 46, were investigated using ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, or urea as the sole nitrogen source in a batch culture. Chlorophyll a concentration was highest at 2,096$\mu\textrm{g}$/L in the nitrate group after 10days of cultivation, while the dry weight of S. platensis was highest at 4.5g/L in the ammonium group after 30days of cultivation. The total amino acid content was highest at 174mg/g dry weight of S. platensis in the urea group at the end of the cultivation period, yet the amino acid patterns for S. platensis were similar for all the experimental groups. Therefore, it seemed that the growth and amino acid composition of S. platensis varied depending on the type of nitrogen sources, while the amino acid patterns were not changed. Also, the most efficient harvesting time for S. platensis seemed to be approximately 10 days after cultivation.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) conditions, including extraction time, extraction temperature, and ethanol concentration, were optimized to increase the total flavonoid content (TFC), tyrosinase inhibitory activity (TIA), and collagenase inhibitory activity (CIA) of Spirulina platensis through central composite design (CCD). For the optimization of the three dependent variables, a quadratic regression model was derived from 17 experimental sets for the simultaneous maximization of TFC, TIA, and CIA. The predicted optimal UAE conditions were 44.0 min of extraction time, 82.8℃ of extraction temperature, and 96.0% of ethanol concentration. Under these conditions, 0.93 mg QE/g DM of TFC, 81.9% of CIA, and 92.1% of TIA were predicted. The CCD-based UAE optimization enabled an increase in TFC, CIA, and TIA, thereby confirming that the S. platensis extract can be used in the development of a cosmetic material with skin whitening and anti-wrinkle effects.

Spirulina platensis NIES 39 was grown in effluents from a wastewater treatment plant utilizing activated sludge process at a pig farm to reduce pollutants and to produce feed resources. The addition of 2 g/l NaCl was required for the growth of S. platensis in the effluents with about 100 mg/l ammonia nitrogen concentration. The growth was stimulated by the addition of 2 g/l sodium bicarbonate and 4 mg/l ferrous sulfate. The microorganism grew well at pH 8~11, and the optimum pH for the growth was 10. The algal concentration of 1.1 g/l was attained after 8 days of growth at the optimum condition with the removal of 95% ammonia nitrogen and 34% phosphorus.

The effluent from anaerobic digestion contains organic nitrogen and phosphorus, which are both required for growth of Spirulina platensis. Effluent (20%) from the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) from a pig farm, supplemented with 4.5 g/l sodium bicarbonate ($NaHCO_3$) and 0.2 g/l urea fertilizer (46:0:0, N:P:K), was found to be not only a suitable medium for the growth of Spirulina platensis but also a low-cost alternative. Cost calculation showed that this medium is 4.4 times cheaper than modifized Zarrouk's medium. The average productivities of a semi-continuous culture grown under outdoor conditions in a 6-1 scale and a 100-1 pilot scale were 19.9 $g/m^2/d$ and 12 $g/m^2/d$, respectively. In addition, the biomass of organisms grown in UASB effluent contained approximately 57.9% protein, 1.12% $\gamma$-linolenic acid, and 19.5% phycocyanin. The average rates of bicarbonate, total nitrogen, and phosphorus removal were 380 mg/l/d, 34 mg/l/d, and 4 mg/l/d, respectively.

판형 배양조를 이용하여 온도와 빛 강도를 변화시키면서 Spirulina platensis의 성장과 이에 따른 균체내 지질축적량 및 지방산의 조성을 분석하였다. 균체량으로부터 빛 강도에 대해서 고찰해본다면 $2695{\mu}E/m^3/sec$의 낮은 빛 강도는 적절한 배양 빛 강도가 아니었고, 온도에 따라 다소의 차이는 있지만 $4235{\mu}E/m^3/sec$와 $6391{\mu}E/m^3/sec$ 사이의 빛 강도가 적절였다. 온도의 경우 $40^{\circ}C$에서는 빛 강도에 관계없이 균체 성장이 억제되고 결국에는 사멸이 일어나는 것으로 판단되었고, $25^{\circ}C$의 낮은 온도에서는 성장이 지연되었다. $30^{\circ}C$와 $35^{\circ}C$가 적절한 온도였는데, 빛 강도에 따라 온도의 선택이 달라져야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 지질 함량은 $30\~35{\circ}C$ 온도와 $4235-6391{\mu}E/m^3/sec$ 사이의 빛 강도에서 최대를 보여주고 있으며, 지질조성은 배양 조건에 관계없이 C16 : 0가 가장 높은 비율을 차지하였고, C210 : 0, C18 : 2의 순이었고, 특정 지질성분의 생산이라는 측면에서 기대했던 C18 : 3의 함량은 몇몇 조건에서만 극히 소량으로 검출되었다.

Spirulina platensis was included at 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% of the diet as a phytobiotic either as a crude preparation or after enrichment by a biosorption process and fed to 126 Japanese quail and the eggs collected and examined for 6 weeks. Assessments were made of physical and chemical characteristics of the eggs. All treatments with added Spirulina increased unsaturated fatty acids and decreased saturated fatty acids with the largest responses for linolenic (omega 3) and oleic (omega 9) acids. The changes in fatty acids were greater with enriched than crude Spirulina. These results suggest that eggs from quail fed with Spirulina may have positive effects on human health.

Factors indicating culture status of two Spirulina platensis strains were monitored in a batch mode cultivation for 36 days. Changing mode in all factors showed a common turning point, indicating shift of cell or culture status. Mean biomass productivity was highly sustained until day 22, chlorophyll a concentration peaked on day 22, pH value was > 12 on day 22, coil number was abruptly shortened on day 22, and floating activity was sustained at greater than 79% after day 22, indicating that day 22 is a criterion reflecting phase-transfer in cell physiology in a batch culture system. Many of these changes may have been caused by increased pH, suggesting that pH control is essential for mass production of S. platensis. Fluctuations in floating activity were likely induced by the number of cellular gas vacuoles. Consequently, coil number per trichome and floating activity of S. platensis could readily act as simple indicators for determination of culture status or harvesting time of cells.

Microalga, Spirulina platensis has been cultivated in a pilot scale photo-bioreactor to treat wastewater and to produce high protein feedstocks from swine waste containing medium. 0.31(1/day) of specific growth rate and 0.170 of bioenergeric yield were obtanined from batch cultivation in 30% waster containing medium, compared to 0.71(1/day) and 0.545 from clean culture. An optimal dilution concentration was decided as 20% of working volume, based upon the cell growth and biomass productivity. The removal rate of nitrates in the wastewater was decreased as the adding concentration of wastewater was increased while the decrease of total phosphates was reversed, showing 0.33(1/day) and 0.30(1/day) of rate constants for nitrate removal in 10% addition and for phosphate removal in 30% addition, respectively. The chemical composition and amino acid profile of the biomass were superior to those of commerically available health food product, Spirulina sp.

We studied the effects of the powders of Spirulina platensis (SPP) on anaphylactic reactions. SPP inhibited systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 in rats. SPP also inhibited local anaphylaxis activated by anti-dinitrophenyl(DNP) IgE. Moreover, SPP dose-dependently inhibited histamine release in rat peritoneal mast cells activated by compound 48/80 or anti DNP-IgE. These results suggest that SPP may contain compounds with actions that inhibit mast cell degranulation in the rat.
