The occurrence of 'algal bloom', caused by the mass proliferation of phytoplankton, causes serious problems in streams and lakes in Korea. Therefore, in this study, the phytoplankton filter-feeding trait of Unio douglasiae, a type of freshwater clam, was used to reduce the algal bloom in outdoor water tanks during the summer. This involved the construction of a U. douglasiae cultivation apparatus, wherein 1,000 clams were divided into 8 rectangular baskets arranged in the shape of an empty square. The control tank was manufactured in exactly the same shape within the water tank, but without the addition of clams. The algal bloom-reducing effect of U. douglasiae was confirmed by the measurement of (and comparing between) the water quality at the center and periphery of the test and control cultivation apparatus. Water quality measurements included the measurement of water temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO) content, and chlorophyll-${\alpha}$ concentrations; the water quality was measured twice a month between June and November 2014.The results of these analyses did not show a significant difference in water quality (temperature, pH, turbidity, DO) between the center and periphery of the test and control tanks. However, the chlorophyll-${\alpha}$ concentration was observed to be much lower at the center of the test tank compared to that at the center and periphery of the control tank, as well as at the periphery of the test tank. This was believed to be a result of the U. douglasiae surrounding the center of the test tank, which prevented the influx of plankton from the periphery. Accordingly, the results of these analyses suggest the possibility that U. douglasiae cultivation could reduce the proliferation of algal blooms in lakes and streams during the summer. In particular, these results indicate possible improvements in U. douglasiae activity (reduction in algal blooms) by their effective arrangement in the water bodies.

Objectives: New photosensitizer 9-hydroxypheophorbide-$\alpha$(9-HpbD-$\alpha$) was derived from chlorophyll in water with peak absorption at 660nm. 9-HpbD-$\alpha$ was tested with 660 nm diode laser for the anticancer effect of photodynamic therapy. Materials and Methods: Human SNU 1041 cells were seeded into 96 well plate at a density of $$ cells/well for 24 hours. Cells were washed with media containing various concentration of 9-HpbD-$\alpha$ ranging from $0{\mu}g/ml\;to\;3.75{\mu}g/ml$. Then, laser treatment was done with 660nm diode laser ($10mW/cm^2$) at various time setting (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes) and with various time interval (0, 1, 4, 6, 18 hours). The treated cells were incubated 48 hours and MTT assay was done to measure the viability of cells. Results: The viability of cells was more than 90% after laser treatment in control group. The viability of cells was decreased with increasing concentration of 9-HpbD-$\alpha$ and laser treatment time in experimental groups. The viability of cells was decreased significantly as the interval time between addition of 9-HpbD-$\alpha$ and laser irradiation was increased. Conclusion: This study shows the anticancer effect of photodynamic therapy using 9-HpbD-$\alpha$ and 660nm Diode laser on carcinoma cell line. 9-HpbD-$\alpha$ is considerd as one of new photo sensitizers in the field of photodynamic therapy.

A comparison was made between the chlorophyll $\alpha$ and suspended solid (SS) retrievals from OSMI and SeaWiFS sensor to chlorophyll $\alpha$ and SS values determined with the standard method during the NFRDI's research cruises. The percentage of organic and inorganic materials from the SS was calculated to study the contribution of turbid water in the northern part of the East China Sea. The open sea waters in the Kuroshio regions of the East China Sea showed relatively higher concentration of volatile SS. However, towards the northwestern part of the East China Sea, the situation became much more optically different with the non-volatile SS from the Yangtze river and the sea bottom sources in the sea in winter and spring seasons. Furthermore, in order to indirectly detect low salinity water with high turbidity, which related to the Yangtze river using remote sensed data from the satellites, a comparison between the results of the band ratio(nLw 490nm/nLw 555nm) of SeaWiFS(OSMI) and the distribution of low salinity around the Jeju Island was presented.

2001년 8월부터 9월 사이에 인천연안 수역에서 발생된 초가을 식물플랑크톤 대증식기에 식물플랑크톤과 종속영양 원생동물 군집의 단주기 변동에 대하여 조사하였다. 조사기간 동안 엽록소-$\alpha$ 농도의 분포는 $1.8-19.3\;{\mu}g\;l^{-1}$로 분포 하였으며, 첫 번째 대증식기에 가장 높은 농도를 보였다. 소형 엽록소-${\alpha}({\gt}20\;{\mu}m)$는 대증식기 동안에 엽록소-$\alpha$ 농도의 80% 이상을 차지하였고, 미소형 엽록소-${\alpha}(3-20\;{\mu}m)$ 대증식기 전과 대증식기 후에 전체의 42%를 차지하였으며, 대증식기 사이에는 극미소 엽록소-${\alpha}({\lt}3\;{\mu}m)$에 의해 50% 이상을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 식물플랑크톤 군집은 대증식기 사이에는 독립영양 극미소플랑크톤에 의해 우점 하였으며, 대증식기 전과 대증식기 후에는 독립영양 미소편모류에 의해 우점 하였고, 두 번의 대증식기에는 규조류에 의해 높은 우점률을 보였다. 특히 대증식기에 관찰된 규조류의 개체수는 Chaetoceros pseudocrinitus와 Eucampia zodiacus에 의해 50% 이상 우점하였다. 종속영양 원생동물의 탄소량은 $8.2-117.8\;{\mu}gC\;l^{-1}$로 분포하였으며, 식물플랑크톤의 생물량이 가장 높았던 직후에 가장 높게 나타났다. 조사기간 동안 종속영양 원생동물의 상대적인 기여도는 식물플랑크톤의 생물량 및 군집구조에 따라 차이를 보였다. 빈섬모충류와 종속영양 와편모류는 첫 번째와 두 번째 대증식기에 우점 하였으며, 종속영양 원생동물 생물량의 80% 이상을 차지하였다. Protoperidinium spp.에 의해 우점하는 종속영양 유각와편모류는 첫 번째 대증식기에 가장 우점하였으며, Gyrodinium spp.로 구성된 종속영양 무각와편모류는 두 번째 대증식기에 가장 우점 하였다. 그외 Noctiluca scintilla는 첫 번째 대증식기에 식물플랑크톤 소멸에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 식물플랑크톤의 대증식기 동안에 종속영양 원생동물 군집은 식물플랑크톤의 생물량 및 군집구 조의 변화에 빠르게 반응하였으며, 이와 같은 결과는 두 군집 사이에 잠재적인 피식-포식자의 관계가 있음을 암시한다. 따라서 조사기간 동안 종속영양 원생동물은 식물플랑크톤 대증식의 소멸과 관련된 중요한 섭식자로서, 식물플랑크톤 군집을 조절하는데 중요한 역할을 하였을 것으로 사료된다.

Recent studies reveal that the endocrine disrupter nonylphenol can also influence the growth of planktonic organisms. To clarify the effect of nonylphenol on the whole planktonic community, we monitored planktonic abundances after addition of nonylphenol using small-scale microcosms in a laboratory. Nonylphenol was added at final concentrations of 1.25 and $2.5{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, close to the EC50 for the growth of the rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus. Chlorophyll $\alpha$ concentration increased significantly between 2 to 5 days after nonylphenol treatment compared to the control. The abundance of the predominant phytoplankton, Stephanodiscus hantzschii, followed the same pattern as chlorophyll a concentration. While there was no negative effect on the abundance of ciliates and rotifers, crustacean zooplankton abundance was higher in nonylphenol treatments. Although the relationship did not reach significance, the growth rate of rotifers tended to decline with increasing nonylphenol dosing. It is likely that the decreased rotifer grazing on S. hantzschii caused significant increase in their abundance. This study emphasizes the importance of considering indirect effects of environmental pollutants when predicting the response of biological community to toxicant exposure.

득량만 식물플랑크톤 군집의 시.공간적 분포특성을 파악하기 위해 1992년 6월부터 1993년 4월까지 만내 38개의 관측점을 대상으로 월별 조사를 실시하였다. 결과, 득량만에서 출현이 확인된 식물플랑크톤 종은 식물성 편모조류 33종을 포함 50속 75종이 동정되었다. 계절별로는 여름과 가을에 비교적 다양한 종이 출현을 보이고 있는 반면, 봄과 겨울에 단순한 종 출현 특성을 나타내었다. 우점종은 연간 규조류에 의해 지배되고 있으며, 여름에 P. alata, G. flaccida, S. costatum, L. danicus와 Pn. longissima, 가을에 St. pulmeriana, Ch. curvisetus와 B. puxillifera, 겨울에 S. costatum, Ch. curvisetus, E. zodiacus와 Pn. pungens, 그리고 봄에 As. glacialis, As. kariana, N. pelagica, Th. nitzschioides.와 S. costatun에 의해 우점되어, 비교적 계절적으로 뚜렷한 우점종 천이가 보여졌다. 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 2.6$\times$$10^3$cells/1에서 $1.0{\times}10^6cells/l$의 범위로 변동하고 있으며, 저수온기에 높고, 고수온기에 낮은 특성을 나타내고 있었다. 그리고 공간적 분포 차는 해역에 따라 수온 차가 심한 여름과 겨울에 매우 크게 나타나고 있었으며, 해역 특성에 의해 단기적인 변동 특성을 나타내고 있었다. 다만, 최고 높은 현존량은 S. costatum의 1종에 의해 지배되고 있다. Chlorophyll $\alpha$농도는 0.19$\mu$g/1에서 12.3$\mu$g/1범위로 변동하여, 8월, 9월 및 3월에 높고, 7월에 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 그리고, 뚜렷한 계절적 변화양상은 보이지 않고 있으며, 해역별로 큰 차를 나타내, 시간적인 농도 차보다 공간적 분포 차가 더욱 크고, 저층이 표층보다 높은 생물량을 나타내는 특성을 보였다. 또한, 만 중앙부인 득량도 인근해역에서는 해수유동 결과 형성되고 있는 것으로 판단되는 고농도의 소규모적인 불균일 분포 특성도 강하게 나타났다. 해역적으로는 수심의 얕은 북서 연안해역에서 비교적 높은 생물량을 나타내고 있는 반면, 고흥반도 연안과 수로부 등 비교적 수심이 깊은 만의 동남 해역에서 낮은 생물량을 나타내고 있는 특성으로 연중 높은 생물량을 나타내고 있어, 득량만은 식물플랑크톤에 의한 높은 생물생산이 연중 유지되고 있는 해역으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 $^{13}C$추적자를 사용하여 신구저수지 내 식물플랑크톤에 의한 1차 생산속도를 계산하고, $^{13}C$-GC/MS 기법을 사용하여 광합성을 통해 새롭게 만들어진 지방산의 생성속도를 분석하였다. 유광층 내의 SPM중 POM이 차지하는 비율은 약 76%였으며, 엽록소$-{\alpha}$의 평균 농도는 약 $89{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$이었다. 유광층 단위면적당 엽록소$-{\alpha}$ 총량, 1차 생산력, 엽록소$-{\alpha}$에 의한 탄소 고정 능력은 각각 112mg Chl-${\alpha}m^{-2}$, 3.53g C $m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$, 32mg C mg Chl-${\alpha}^{-1}\;d^{-1}$이었다. 수층 내 입자성유기물의 지방산 조성과 식물플랑크톤 광합성에 의해 새롭게 만들어진 입자성유기물의 지방산 조성이 거의 비슷한 것으로 미루어 보아, 본 연구기간 동안 수층의 입자성유기물은 대부분 식물플랑크톤에 의해 유래된 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 광합성을 통해 만들어진 유기물은 세포외배출 등의 과정을 통해 용존유기물 pool로 이동된 후 박테리아에게까지 빠르게 전달됨으로써, 박테리아에 의한 유기물 소비가 활발하게 일어나고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Water quality data of 81 lakes in Korea, 2013 ~ 2017 were analyzed. Most water quality parameters showed left-skewed distribution, while dissolved oxygen showed normal distribution. pH and dissolved oxygen showed a positive correlation with organic matter and nutrients, which appeared to be a nonsense correlation mediated by the algae. The ratio of $BOD_5$ and $COD_{Mn}$ to CBOD was 21 % and 52 % in the freshwater lakes, respectively. TOC concentration appeared to be underestimated by the UV digestion method, when salinity exceeds $700{\mu}S\;cm^{-1}$. In terms of nitrogen/phosphorus ratio, the limiting factor for algal growth seemed to be phosphorus in most of the lakes. Chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ increased acutely with decrease of N/P ratio. However, it seemed to be a nonsense correlation mediated by phosphorus concentration, since the N/P ratio depended on phosphorus. The N/P ratio of brackish lakes was lower than that of the freshwater, at the same concentration of phosphorus. It is worth examining denitrification that occurs, in bottom layer and sediment, during saline stratification. $Chl.{\alpha}$ concentration decreased in the form of a power function with increase of mean depth. The primary reason is that deep lakes are mainly at the less-disturbed upstream. However, it is necessary to investigate the effect of sediment, on water quality in shallow lakes. Light attenuation in the upper layer, was dominated by tripton (non-algal suspended solids) absorption/scattering (average relative contribution of 39 %), followed by CDOM (colored dissolved organic matter) (average 37 %) and $Chl.{\alpha}$ (average 21 %).

We patterned water quality of agricultural reservoirs according to the differences of six physico-chemical environmental factors (TN, TP, DO, BOD, COD, and SS) using four different ordination methods: Principal Components Analysis (PCA), Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA), Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling (NMS), and Isometric Feature Mapping (Isomap). The data set was obtained from the water quality monitoring networks operated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Ministry of Environments. Chlorophyll-${\alpha}$ displayed the highest correlation with COD, followed by TP, BOD, SS, and TN (p<0.01), while negatively correlated with altitude and bank height of the reservoirs (p<0.01). Although four different ordination methods similarly patterned the reservoirs according to the gradient of nutrient concentration, PCA and NMS appeared to be the most efficient methods to pattern water quality of reservoirs based on the explanation power. Considering variable scores in the ordination map, the concentration of nutrients was positively correlated with Chl-${\alpha}$, while negatively correlated with altitude and bank height. These ordination methods may help to pattern agricultural reservoirs according to their water quality characteristics.

The species composition and the biomass of intertidal microphytobenthos (MPB) were investigated at four sites in the Nakdong Estuary from Feb. to Dec. 2006. The chlorophyll (chl) ${\alpha}$ concentration showed a positive correlation with MPB abundance, and depth profiles showed similar patterns: high at the surface, rapidly decreasing within 4 cm from the surface, and slowly decreasing thereafter. A MANOVA analysis revealed that the chl ${\alpha}$ concentration varied significantly not only with depth, month, and site, but also with combinations of these factors. Among the four investigated sites, site D (Baekhabdeung) showed a seasonal biomass variation trend distinct from those of the other sites: higher in summer, decreased in autumn and with sustained low values until winter. As indicated, the other sites contrastingly showed low biomasses in summer, after which the biomasses continuously increased, with some variation among the sites. A cluster analysis of species composition indicated that sites near to each other and with similar sediment structures had closer similarities in the same seasons. The species of genus Amphora and Navicula were dominant at the four sites throughout the study period.
