This study carried out phylogenetic analysis of dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polygramma which was responsible for a harmful algal bloom episode in Korea in 2004. Molecular phylogenetic tree inferred from the partial LSU rDNA data showed that G. polygramma came up among the monophyletic Gonyaulax clade, but did not have apparent genetic affiliation to other Gonyaulax species. This result appears to be consistent with characteristic morphological features of G. polygramma such as epitheca sharply tapering to the apex and thecal plates ornamented with numerous longitudinal striations.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to isolate and identify algicidal bacterium that tends to kill the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella, and to determine the algicidal activity and algicidal range of algicide. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among of algicidal bacteria isolated in this study, NH-3 isolate was the strongest algicidal activity against A. catenella. NH-3 isolate was identified on the basis of biochemical characteristics and analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The NH-3 isolate showed over 99% homology with Arthrobacter oxydans, and was designated as Arthrobacter sp. NH-3. The optimal culture conditions were $25^{\circ}C$, initial pH 7.0, and 2.0% (w/v) NaCl concentration. The algicidal activity of Arthrobacter sp. NH-3 was significantly increased to maximum value in the late of logarithmic phase. Arthrobacter sp. NH-3 showed algicidal activity through indirect attack, which excreted active substance into the culture filtrate. When 10% culture filtrate of NH-3 was applied to A. catenella, 100% of algal cells were destroyed within 30 h. In addition, the algicidal activities were increased in dose and time dependent manners. The pure algicide was isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the culture filtrate of NH-3 by using silica gel column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We investigated the algicidal activity of this algicide on the growth of harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, including A. catenella. As a result, it showed algicidal activity against several HAB species at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$ and had a relatively wide host range. CONCLUSION: Taken together, our results suggest that Arthrobacter sp. NH-3 and its algicide could be a candidate for controlling of toxic and harmful algal blooms.

Harmful Cochlodinium polykrikoides is a notorious harmful algal bloom (HAB) species that is causing mass mortality of farmed fish along the Korean coast with increasing frequency. We analyzed the sequence of the large subunit (LSD) rDNA D1-D3 region of C. polykrikoides and conducted phylogenetic analyses using Bayesian inference of phylogeny and the maximum likelihood method. The molecular phylogeny showed that C. polykrikoides had the genetic relationship to Amphidinium and Gymnodinium species supported only by the relatively high posterior probabilities of Bayesian inference. Based on the LSU rDNA sequence data of diverse dinoflagellate taxa, we designed the C. polykrikoides-specific PCR primer set, CPOLY01 and CPOLY02 and developed PCR detection assays for its sensitive, accurate HAB monitoring. CPOLY01 and CPOLY02 specifically amplified C. polykrikoides and did not cross-react with any dinoflagellates tested in this study or environmental water samples. The effective annealing temperature $(T_{p})$ of CPOLY01 and CPOLY02 was $67^{\circ}C$. At this temperature, the conventional and nested PCR assays were sensitive over a wide range of C. polykrikoides cell numbers with detection limits of 0.05 and 0.0001 cells/reaction, respectively.

The present study aimed to analyze the metaproteome of the microbial community comprising harmful algal bloom (HAB) in the Daechung reservoir, Korea. HAB samples located at GPS coordinates of 36°29'N latitude and 127°28'E longitude were harvested in October 2013. Microscopic observation of the HAB samples revealed red signals that were presumably caused by the autofluorescence of chlorophyll and phycocyanin in viable cyanobacteria. Metaproteomic analysis was performed by a gelbased shotgun proteomic method. Protein identification was conducted through a two-step analysis including a forward search strategy (FSS) (random search with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Cyanobase, and Phytozome), and a subsequent reverse search strategy (RSS) (additional Cyanobase search with a decoy database). The total number of proteins identified by the two-step analysis (FSS and RSS) was 1.8-fold higher than that by one-step analysis (FSS only). A total of 194 proteins were assigned to 12 cyanobacterial species (99 mol%) and one green algae species (1 mol%). Among the species identified, the toxic microcystin-producing Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-843 (62.3%) species was the most dominant. The largest functional category was proteins belonging to the energy category (39%), followed by metabolism (15%), and translation (12%). This study will be a good reference for monitoring ecological variations at the meta-protein level of aquatic microalgae for understanding HAB.

We have investigated lectin binding patterns in order to apply binding records of previous laboratory experiments to field settings before the first ourbreaks of harmful algal bloom (HAB). Although cells were grown under different conditions, the binding patterns were the same as in the control. In addition, culture days was not associated with the binding patterns, when compared with the control. In nature, this results suggest that ECA, HPA and WGA lectin are able to discriminate between C. polykrikoides and G. impudicum, as well as ECA and SBA have a capability as a tool for differentiating between C. polyrikoides and G. catenatum, although these species are closely similar under the light microscope fiexed with Lugol solution.

우리나라 연안에서 Cochlodinium polykrikoides 적조는 1982년 낙동강하구에서 최초로 발생하였으며, 1988년까지는 진해만과 그 부근해역에서 발생하였다. 그러나 1989년 이후부터는 진해만에서는 거의 발생하지 않고 충무, 거제, 남해, 여수 둥의 남해안의 중부해역에서 주로 발생하였고, 1995년부터는 동해연안까지 발생해역이 확대되었다. 그리고, 1998, 1999년도에는 서해연안에서도 이종에 의한 적조가 발생하였다. C. polykrikoides 적조 발생건수는 매년 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, 발생시기는 $7\~10$월로 특히 9월에 집중 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 적조지속기간도 매년 증가하여 처근에는 한달 이상 지속되는 양상을 보이고 있으며, 적조밀도 역시 '91년까지는 최고 5,000cells $mL^{-1}$를 초과하지 않았으나, '99년도에는 43,000 cells $mL^{-1}$까지 나타나 매년 증가하는 추세를 보였다. 한편 C. polykrikoides적조는 '82년과 '84년에는 다양한 규조류 및 편모조류와 함께 발생하는 혼합적조로 출현하였으나, 이후에는 주로 단독적조로 출현함으로써 C. polykrikoides 적조가 혼합적조에서 단독적조로 발전해 갔음을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 C. polykrikoides 적조는 발생해역이 우리나라 전연 안으로 확대되고, 적조밀도가 높아지며, 발생기간이 $1\~2$개월로 장기간 지속하고 있는 양상을 나타내고 있으며 특히 양식산업이 성행하고 있는 충무, 남해도, 거제도, 여수 및 거문도 연안에서 $8\~9$월에 자주 적조를 형성하므로서 양식산업 발전에 큰 위협이 되고 있다.

본 연구에서는 동물플랑크톤인 Daphnia magna를 이용하여 유해조류인 Microcystis aeruginosa, Anabaena variabilis, Limnothrix planctonica에 대한 제어 가능성을 평가하였다. D. magna와 유해조류를 공생배양 시킨 경우, M. aeruginosa ($80.2{\pm}4.2%$), A. variabilis ($39.7{\pm}4.0%$) 그리고 L. planctonica ($25.9{\pm}10.9%$)의 순으로 조류 발생 억제효율을 보였다. 동물플랑크톤의 섭생에 의한 조류 제어 효과 이외에 D. magna의 대사/분비물질의 조류 제어 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. D. magna를 배양한 배지를 유해조류 제어에 이용했을 때, M. aeruginosa와 A. variabilis에 대하여 각각 $24.9{\pm}9.9%$와 $8.9{\pm}4.0%$의 성장 억제효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만, L. planctonica에 대한 성장 억제효과는 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과를 통하여 동물플랑크톤인 D. magna를 활용한 친환경적 유해조류 제어기술 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Twenty-three cultures of harmful algal bloom (HAB)-(causing dinoflagellates were isolated from the coastal waters of Korea. For each of the 14 morphospecies, the nuclearencoded small subunit (SSU) rDNA was analyzed to determine the phylogenetic relatedness of the species. Despite temporal and spatial isolation, 3-4 clonal cultures of Alexandrium catenella, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, and Gymnodinium catenatum had 100% identical SSU rDNA sequences. In contrast, heterogeneities in the SSU rDNA sequences were observed in Akashiwo sanguinea and Lingulodinium polyedrum strains. Extreme sequence polymorphism was shown within the SSU rRNA genes of an Al. tamarense clonal culture. A homology search in GenBank revealed that 11 dinoflagellate species were located in clusters corresponding to their morphological classification. The SSU rDNA sequences of C. polykrikoides, Gyrodinium instriatum, and Pheopolykrikos hartmannii, which were determined for the first time in this study, showed the following phylogenetic relationships: C. polykrikoides formed an independent branch separated from other dinoflagellates; Gyr. instriatum was placed in a monophyletic group with Gyr. dorsum and Gyr. uncatenum; and Ph. hartmanii, which forms a distinct two-celled pseudocolony, belonged to Gymnodinium sensu Hansen and Moestrup.
