낙동강 하구에 위치한 대마등은 모래톱으로 형성되어 있으며, 잘 발달된 조간대 갯벌을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2011년 1월부터 12월까지 대마등 갯벌에서 저서미세조류의 서식환경, 광합성 색소와 광합성률을 알아보았다. 퇴적물 공극수의 무기질소는 주로 암모늄염이고, 상부 수의 무기질소는 주로 질산염+아질산염으로 나타났다. Chlorophyll a 및 Fucoxanthin 농도는 퇴적물 표층이, 전체 퇴적층 평균값보다 현저히 높았다. 전체 조사기간 중 저서미세조류의 최대양자수율의 평균값은 0.52±0.03이었으며, 최고값은 2월(0.61±0.08)에 관측되었다. 최대전자전달률은 봄부터 초가을(4월에서 10월까지)까지는 높고 겨울에서 초봄(1월에서 3월 및 11월, 12월)까지는 낮은 계절적인 경향을 보였고, 최고값은 7월, 최저값은 1월에 나타났다. 시간별 저서미세조류의 최대 양자수율의 평균값은 0.48±0.03이었으며, 최고값(0.61±0.08)은 정오에 관측되었다. 최대전자전달률은 정오에 최고 값과 16시에 최저값을 보였다. 이로써 저서미세조류의 생산성은 조사시간 및 퇴적물 깊이에 따라 현저한 차이가 나타나므로 Diving-PAM을 사용하여 저서미세조류의 생산성을 정량화하기 위해서는 물때를 기준으로 조사가 이루어져야 하며, 동시에 퇴적물 층별 색소분석도 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 태안반도 근소만 갯벌에서 저서미세조류(MPB)의 현존량, 군집조성 및 광생리의 월변화에 대해 알아보기 위하여 2016년 10월부터 2017년 10월까지 월 1~2회씩 총 16회에 걸쳐 갯벌 표층에 분포하는 저서미세조류 색소를 HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography)를 이용 분석하였다. 갯벌 표층 1 cm 깊이에 분포하는 저서미세조류의 광합성 색소 중 현존량의 지표로 사용되는 총 chlorophyll a (TChl a) 농도는 연중 40.4~218.9 mg m-2의 범위를 보였다. 2월 24일에 최대값이 나타났고 3월에도 높은 값을 보인 뒤 이후 감소하였다. 저서미세조류의 현존량은 동계에 높고 하계에 낮은 값을 나타냈다. Phaeophorbide a 농도의 월별 변동을 통해 동계에 상위 포식자의 낮은 포식압이 저서미세조류 동계번성에 일부 기여한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 주요지시색소를 이용한 저서미세조류 군집조성의 분석결과 저서규조류의 지시색소인 fucoxanthin의 농도가 연중 가장 높게 나타났다. Chlorophyll b(녹조류), peridinin(와편모조류)을 제외한 대부분의 지시색소의 농도는 동계에 증가하였으나, fucoxanthin의 농도 증가율이 가장 높아 fucoxanthin을 제외한 TChl a에 대한 주요지시색소의 상대비는 동계에 감소하는 경향이 있었다. 형광광도계와 산소미세전극을 이용하여 측정한 퇴적물 내 Chl a와 산소 농도의 연직분포 특성은 퇴적층 표면에서 깊이가 깊어질수록 Chl a 값과 산소 농도가 함께 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 동계로 갈수록 이런 경향이 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 하지만 5~7월의 Chl a 농도는 다른 기간에 비해 12 mm까지 연직으로 유사하게 나타났으나, 5월의 산소 농도 분포는 1 mm 이하에서 급격하게 감소하였다. 같은 시기에 phaeophorbide a 농도가 증가하는 것으로 보아 저서동물의 포식활동에 의한 산소 소비량이 증가하였을 가능성이 있으며, 저서동물의 생물교란에 의해 저서미세조류의 세포가 아래로 옮겨진 것으로 추측된다. 한편, 저서미세조류의 광적응의 지표로 사용되는 diadinoxanthin (DD)과 diatoxanthin (DT)로 얻은 상대적인 비(DT/(DD+DT))는 10월에서 3월로 갈수록 감소하며, 5월에는 증가하는 것으로 볼 때, 월별로 Xanthophyll cycle의 활성 정도에 차이가 있었음을 알 수 있었다.

Germanium dioxide ($GeO_2$) has been used for many years in the cultivation of red and green algae as a means of controlling the growth of diatoms. Brown algae are sensitive to $GeO_2$, however, the basis of this sensitivity has not been characterized. Here we use embryos of $Fucus$ $vesiculosus$ to investigate morphological and physiological impacts of $GeO_2$ toxicity. Morphometric features of embryos were measured microscopically, and physiological features were determined using pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry. At 5 mg $L^{-1}$ $GeO_2$, embryos grew slower than controls and developed growth abnormalities. After 24 h, initial zygote divisions were often oblique rather than transverse. Rhizoids had inflated tips in $GeO_2$ and were less branched, and apical hairs were deformed, with irregularly aligned, spheroidal cells. Minimum fluorescence ($F_0$) showed minor differences over the 10 days experiment, and pigment levels (chlorophylls $a$, $c$ and total carotenoids) showed no difference after 10 days. Optimum quantum yield increased from ca. 0.52 at 24 h to 0.67 at 5 days, and $GeO_2$-treated embryos had higher mean values (significant at 3 and 5 days). Optimum quantum yield of photosystem II (${\Phi}_{PSII}$) was stable in control thalli after 5 days, but declined significantly in $GeO_2$. Addition of silica (as $SiO_2$) did not reverse the effects of $GeO_2$. These results suggest that $GeO_2$ toxicity in brown algae is associated with negative impacts at the cytological level rather than metabolic impacts associated with photosynthesis.

This study explored the chronic effects of different doses of the triazole fungicide tebuconazole on the growth, and metabolic and enzymatic functions of the filamentous paddy field cyanobacterium, Westiellopsis prolifica Janet. The growth of the cyanobacterium was determined by an estimation of the change in pigment contents. Chlorophyll-a, carotenoids, and accessory pigments such as phycocyanin, allophycocyanin, and phycoerythrin were shown to decline over a 16-day period by a factor of 92%, 93%, 83%, 95%, and 100%, respectively, with increasing doses of the fungicide. Metabolic and enzymatic activities were also adversely affected. Over the 16 days, a gradual rise in total phenol content was recorded when Westiellopsis prolifica Janet was treated with 60 ppm of the fungicide, despite the reduction in carbohydrates, proteins, and amino acids by 96%, 92%, and 90%, respectively. Moreover, the enzymes nitrate reductase (NR), glutamine synthetase (GS), and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) also registered reductions of 93%, 90%, and 98%, respectively. This study indicates that tebuconazole, although an important fungicide used extensively in rice fields, exhibits an inhibitory effect on the growth and metabolic activities of Westiellopsis prolifica Janet and hence possibly on other varieties as well.

Plant ash and soil drainage, derived by frequent mountain fires during winter, might cause biological contamination to seaweeds at seashore and river mouse area. To thalli of Ulva pertusa, maximum non-lethal concentration(MNLC), lethal concentration 50 $(LC_{50})$ and minimum lethal concentration (MLC) of pine needle ash were shown as 60, 350 and 550 mg/mL, respectively. The yellow loess and granite sand did not damage at concentrations of 20 and 200 mg/mL, respectively To thalli of Porphyra yezoensis, the MNLC, LC5O, MLC of pine needle ash were shown as 0.08, 0.4 and 1.0 mg/mL, respectively. Effects of yellow loess and granite sand were approximately 1/2 and 1/10 of the ash. To thalli of Undaria pinnatifida, the pine needle ash, yellow loess and granite sand did not damage at the concentration range of 20 to 40 mg/mL. Change of pigments $(chlorophyll\;\alpha,\;lutein,\;\beta-carotene,\;phycoerthrin)$ was also determined at the MNLC, $LC-{50}$ and MLC of pine needle ash. Among three seaweeds tested, P. yezoensis produced the most 2.7-fold of lutein and 2.3-fold of $\beta-carotene$ at $LC-{50}$ of the ash. Thus the P. yezoensis, appeared as a sensitive indicator, could be used as one of test organisms for determination of the biological effect of pollutants contaminated in marine environment.

The protective effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the antioxidant system under paraquat(PQ) stress was investigated in leaves of 8-week-old lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) plants. PQ stress caused a decrease of leaf growth including leaf length, width and weight. Application of NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), significantly alleviated PQ stress induced growth suppression. SNP permitted the survival of more green leaf tissue preventing chlorophyll content reduction and of higher quantum yield for photosystem II than in non-treated controls under PQ exposure, suggesting that NO has protective effect on chloroplast membrane in lettuce leaves. Flavonoids and anthocyanin were significantly accumulated in the leaves upon PQ exposure. However, the rapid increase of these compounds was alleviated in the SNP treated leaves. PQ treatment resulted in lipid peroxidation and induced accumulation of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) in the leaves, while SNP prevented PQ induced increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and $H_2O_2$. These results demonstrate that SNP serves as an antioxidant agent able to scavenge $H_2O_2$ to protect plant cells from oxidative damage. The activities of two antioxidant enzymes that scavenge reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in lettuce leaves in the presence of NO donor under PQ stress were higher than those under PQ stress alone. Application of 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO), a specific NO scavenger, to the lettuce leaves arrested SNP mediated protective effect on leaf growth, photosynthetic pigment and antioxidant systems. However, PTIO had little effect on lettuce leaves under PQ stress compared with that of PQ stress alone. The obtained data suggest that the damage caused by PQ stress is in part due to increased generation of active oxygen by maintaining increased antioxidant enzyme activities and SNP protects plants from oxidative stress. From these results it is suggested that NO might act as a signal in activating active oxygen scavenging system that protects plants from oxidative damage induced by PQ stress and thus confer PQ tolerance.

We analyzed with HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) analysis photosynthetic pigments and environmental factors, microscopic observations of the phytoplankton and zooplankton in the seawater every month from February 2009 to November 2010 in Haengam Bay. The level of dissolved inorganic nutrients was the highest between July and September, when freshwater influx was at its peak, whereas chlorophyll a levels were the highest in April and August. Also, phytoplankton pigment concentration increased when dissolved inorganic nutrients are carried into nearshore waters by rainfall runoff. Based on identification of phytoplankton and photosynthetic pigments results, diatoms were mainly dominant while dinoflagellate populations increased at July and August 2009, May 2010. The zooplankton communities are dominated in terms of Noctiluca scintillans. The contribution of Noctiluca scintillans in 2010 accounts for approximately 77.3% of the total zooplankton. Distribution patterns over time of zooplankton in the seasonal distribution of phytoplankton showed a different pattern.

The growth of sea weeds is greatly affected by the environmental conditions of ambient water. Especially nutrient salts in sea water function as a major factor to the growth of lavers, so that the content of inorganic substances in lavers could he a criterion for quality evaluation of lavers. In this experiment, the relation between the quality and the content of Zinc and Magnesium which are not only physiologically active and closely related with pigments such as chlorophll and phycobilins but also important in quantify is discussed if such a measurement to be an index for quality evaluation. Sixteen samples of layers were collected from three different culture farms, 7 from Jangrim-Busan, 6 from Wando-Jeon Nam, 3 from Hadong-Gyeong Nam, and classified into 3 quality grades to each farm and to whole samples by organoleptic test. Zinc and Magnesium were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. For pigment analysis, chlorphyll was extracted with 85 percent acetone, filtered and the absorbance was measured at 660 nm and the residue was further extracted with phosphoric buffer solution to determine the optical density for phycobilins at 560 nm. The result showed that the total content of Zinc and Magnesium varied between the farms, but kept consistent with quality grades from the same farm. The Zinc content was correlated proportion- ally with the content of phycobilins, and Magnesium content in total ash could roughly represent the content of chlorophll except some examples in which the Magnesium content of chlorophyll-ext ractresiduewasexceptionallyhigher. In conclusion the contents of these metals provide an applicable index for quality judgment of lavers.

Physiological response of Panax ginseng var. atropurpureacaulo (purple stem variety, Pg) to light was reviewed through old literatures and recent experiments. Canopy structure, growth, pigment, leaf anatomy, disease occurence, transpiration, photosynthesis (PS), leaf saponin, photoperiodism and nutrient uptake were concerned. P. ginseng var. xanthocarpus (yellow berry variety, Px) and Panax quinquefolius(Pq) were compared with Pg if possible. Compensation point(Cp) increased with increase of light and ranged from 110 to 150 at $20^{\circ}C$ but from 140 to 220 at $30^{\circ}C$ with 4 to 15 Klux indicating occurence of light and temperature-dependent high photorespiration. Characteristics of Korea ginseng to hate high temperature was well accordance with an observation 2000 years ago. Korea ginseng showed lower Cp and appeared to be more tolerant to high light intensity and temperature than American sheng although the latter showed greater PS, stomata frequency and conductance, chlorophyll and carotenoids. Px showed lower PS than Pg probably due to higher Cp. Total leaf saponin was higher in leaves grown under high light. Ratio or diol saponin and triol saponin(PT/PD) decreased with increase of light intensity during growing mainly due to decrease of ginsenoside $Rg_1$ but increase of ginsenoside Rd. Leaves of Pg and Px had $Rg_1$ but no $Rb_3$ which was only found as much as $20\%$ of total in Pq leaves, and decreased with increase of light intensity. Re increased in Pg and Px but decreased in Pq with increase of light. PT/PD in leaf ranged 1.0-1.5 in Pg and Px but around 0.5 in Pq. Korea ginseng has Yang characteristics(tolerant to high light and temperature), cultured under Eum(shade) condition and long been used for Yang efficacy (to build up energy) while Pq was quite contrary. Traditional low light $intensity(3-8\%)$ for Korea ginseng culture appeared to be strongly related to historical unique quality. Effect of light quality and photoperiodism was not well known. Experiences are long but scientific knowledge is short for production and quality assessment of ginseng. Recent scientific knowledge of ginseng should learn wisdom from old experiences.
