부영양화로 인한 녹 적조류가 과잉 번식하여 다양한 환경문제를 야기해왔으나, 최근 조류를 에너지원으로 활용할 수 있는 바이오 디젤 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 하수처리장의 산소공급을 위한 송풍에너지 절약을 위해 미세조류의 광합성 작용으로 발생하는 산소를 하수처리장에 적용시키는 연구도 다양하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 조류광합성 산소를 질산화에 필요한 산소로 활용하고자 실험실 규모의 조류-질산화 반응조를 운영하였으며, 운전구간은 크게 3구간으로 운전하였다. MLSS(Mixed Liquer Suspended Solid) 농도에 변화를 준 구간에서 24~38 %, Micro-algae 농도에 변화를 준 구간에서는 38~50%, 그리고 HRT(Hydraulic Retention Time)에 변화를 준 구간에서 61~80%의 암모니아성 질소 제거율이 나타났다. 연구결과 MLSS 가 감소함에 따라, Algae Biomass가 증가함에 따라 암모니아성 질소 제거율이 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, MLSS에 의한 영향보다 Algae biomass 에 의한 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Harmful micro algae isolated from Korean coastal waters, were tested with FITC-conjugated lectins and observed by epifluorescent microscopy to distinguish each other. Strain-specific sugar composition at the cell surface was suggested by the affinity of lectins to different microalgae. The micro algae Cochlodinium polykrikoides (CP-1) and Gymnodinium $A_3\;(GA_{3-1}\;1)$, are morphologically similar, but exhibited different binding activity with the lectins ECA, HPA and WGA. In Peridiniales, the micro alga Alexandrium tamarense (AT) bound HPA and WGA, but Scrippsiella trochoidea (ST-1) did not bind those lectins. Three species of Prorocentrum also exhibited different binding specificity with HPA, PHA and SBA. A non­toxic Korean isolate of Heterosigma akashiwo (HA-2) bound ConA, PEA and UEA. These results suggest that lectins are useful in discriminating morphologically similar species, as well as different species or strains within the same genus.

Since algae had been issued an environmental problem, water blooms, deepened due to increase of retention water basin in Korea as well as a biomass resource for producing biofuel, this study conducted a series of experiments for Spirulina platensis using the flotation process with micro-bubble. To elevate utilization of collected-algae, this study focused on omitting or minimizing coagulant's doses as changing a cultivation period and condition affected on physical property change of algae. Two coagulants, PAC and Chitosan, were used to test the collecting rate of algae and the result found no difference between two rates. For flotation experiments without adding the coagulant, dried algae weight (passing 14 days after cultivation for 20 days) detected high separation efficiency 98.2 % and it (passing 7 days after long-term cultivation for 28 days) presented good separation efficiency 91.9 %. Chlorophyll's separation efficiency showed a similar tendency with the case of the dried algae weight. In endogeny conditions, a light source and a carbon source were not considerably affected on the flotation separation efficiency. Thus, this study confirms that algae biomass may be collected without the coagulant during the endogeny condition period after enough cultivation time, 3 weeks.

In this investigation, ecotoxicity of nano and micro metal oxides, namely silica ($SiO_2$) and alumina ($Al_2O_3$), on the growth of green algae (Porphyridium aerugineum Geitler) is discussed. Effects of nano and micro particles on the growth, chlorophyll content and protein content of algae are analysed using standard protocols. Results indicate that $SiO_2$ nano and micro $SiO_2$ particles are non-toxic to P. aerugineum Geitler up to a concentration of 1000 mg/L. In addition, $Al_2O_3$ microparticles are less toxic to P. aerugineum Geitler, whereas $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles are found to be highly toxic at 1000 mg/L. Moreover, $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles decrease the growth, chlorophyll content, and protein content of tested algae. In addition, zeta potential and contact angle are also important in enhancing the toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles in aquatic environment. This study highlights a new insight into toxicity evaluation of nanoparticles on beneficial aquatic organisms such as algae.

Spills of $M/V$ Hebei Spirit on $7^{th}$ December 2007 caused a seriously damage to the ecosystem of Korean coast. Of these, microbial communities (i.e., attached benthic micro-algae) were reported to be sentive to the environmental change so it can be used for ecological risk assessment. Our experiment was designed to examine the ecological risk assessments for oil pollutant using benthic attached algal community on the artificial substrates of acrylic plates. Field monitoring in the culture system was conducted in Jangmok Bay. The abundances of attached micro-algae on artificial substrates gradually increased with increasing of sampling times. Among them, diatoms were the most important colonizer of coastal water, with the genera $Cylindrotheca$ and $Navicular$ most abundant. In particular, developed the culture system has correctly measured qualitative and quantitative abundance of attached micro-algae because same acrylic plates as artificial substrates were used. Thus, this culture system may be directly applied to the ecological risk experiments of microbial community structure from oil pollutants.

Fifty seven taxa of Cyanobacteria and 15 taxa of Chlorophyta were recorded from the exterior of buildings and rock surfaces of monuments in different regions in India. Four cyanobacteria, e.g. Chroococcidiopsis kashayi, Pseudophormidium indicum, Plectonema puteale and Scytonema geitleri, and the green alga Trentepholia abietina var. tenue occur on the sub-aerial habitats throughout the year. In addition, five other green algae: Chlorococcum infusionum, Scenedesmus arcuatus, Trentepholia aurea, Gloeocystis polydermatica and Printzina effusa, and 18 other cyanobacteria taxa of the genera Chroococcus (5), Asterocapsa (1), Cyanosarcina (2), Gloeocapsa (7), Gloeothece (2) and Scytonema (1) occur on the sub-aerial surfaces enduring extreme temperature and desiccation during summer months of the tropics. During the rainy season, the warm and humid climatic regime coupled with availability of moisture supported an additional ten green algae and 29 cyanobacteria in eight and 17 genera, respectively. The green algal genera Klebsormidium, Stichococcus and Trebouxia, which are dominant in temperate regions, did not occur on the sub-aerial habitats in India, however, species of Gloeocapsa, Chroococcus, Chroococcidiopsis, Phormidium, Leptolyngbya, Nostoc, Scytonema, Chlorella and Trentepholia showed global occurrence in similar habitats.

This study is to investigate biochemical compositions of two species of marine microalgae, Chlorella ellipsoidea of Chlorophyta and Tetraselmis suecica of Prasinophyta, and to assess their potential antimicrobial activities. Crude protein, lipid and carbohydrate for C. ellipsoidea were $43.15\%$, $12.63\%$ and $13.09\%$, respectively, and those for T. suecica were $44.95\%$, $4.80\%$ and $24.05\%$, respectively. The major amino acids of the two micro algae were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, lysine and proline, and no significant difference between the amino acid compositions of both micro algae was observed. The major sugars for both microalgae were glucose, galactose and mannose, and glucose contents showed the highest level, $58.70\%$ for C. ellipsoidea and$57.86\%$ for T. suecica. The major mineral contents of both micro algae for 100g were Ca (3,114mg in C. ellipoidea and 3,389mg in T. suecica) and followed by Na (2,881mg), K (548mg) and Mg (545mg) for C. ellipsoidea and Na (1,832 mg), Mg (1,510mg) and K (548mg) for T. suecica. In the content of ATP-related compound, hypoxanthine in C. ellipsoidea and IMP in T. suecica were absolutely dominant compounds. The highest content of fatty acid in C. ellipsoidea was 20:4, $27.15\%$ and that in T. suecica was 18:3 (w-6), $18.10\%$. In case of physiologically important polyunsaturated fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (20: 5) and docosahexaenoic acid (22: 6), both microalgae possessed just trace amounts but was rich in arachidonic acid (20: 4). Vitamin content in both microalgae was significantly high in choline and inositol. In antimicrobial activity by water- and fat-soluble fraction of the micro algae, hexane extract in the fat-soluble fraction of C. elliposidea inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis by $96\%$ bactericidal activity and tetrachlorocarbon extract of T. suecica indicated relatively excellent antimicrobial activity $(81\%\;bactericidal\;activity)$ against Escherichia coli. Hot water extract among water-soluble fraction of both micro algae almost suppressed the growth of Staphylococcus aureus by $96\%$ bactericidal activity.

새만금 수역에서 2006년 5월부터 2007년 11월까지 8회의 조사를 통해 표영환경의 미소조류군집의 분류군 조성과 다양성지수 등을 연구하였다. 조사수역 미소조류군집의 출현종은 총 191종으로 규조류(Diatom) 94종, 녹조류(Chlorophyte) 31종, 와편모조류(Dinoflagellate) 24종, 남조류(Cyanophyte) 24종, 유글레나조류(Euglenophyte) 11종, 규질 편모류(Silicoflagellate) 3종, 크립토조류(Cryptophyte) 1종, 기타 미동정 미소편모조류 3종 등으로 구성되었다. 연구기간 동안 연구수역 미소조류군집의 다양성 지수는 시공간적으로 변화가 지속되어 일정한 변화의 규칙성을 찾기 어렵다. 이는 공사의 진행과 방조제 수문개폐에 따른 수질환경의 급변 등 인위적 요인이 부유성 미소조류에 스트레스로 작용한 것으로 보인다.

미세조류는 대체에너지를 위한 생물자원 중 하나로 다양한 분야에서 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 미세조류의 상태를 분석하기 위한 방법으로는 계수법, 스크리닝법, 응집법 등이 사용되고 있는데, 이 중 응집법은 적조 제거제 연구, 미세조류 자원화 연구 등에 효과적으로 이용되고 있다. 미세조류의 응집 상태 분석에는 현재 분광광도법이 주로 사용되고 있는데, 이는 미세조류의 응집 상태를 광학밀도 계측을 통해 분석하는 방법으로 미세조류 계수법에 비해 소요되는 분석 시간은 작지만, 측정 결과의 오차가 상대적으로 큰 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위해서 렌즈프리 그림자 이미징 기술을 이용하여 미세조류의 응집 현상을 실시간으로 분석하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 렌즈프리 그림자 이미지를 이용하여 단일 미세조류의 측정과 응집 미세조류 측정이 동시에 가능함을 현미경 이미지와의 비교를 통해 입증하였다. 또한, 해당 기술을 기반으로 미세조류의 응집 현상을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있는 세 가지의 그림자 파라미터(플록들의 개수, 플록들의 유효면적 및 최대크기 플록의 면적)를 제안하였다. 각 파라미터의 유효성은 응집 효율이 다른 응집제를 이용한 실험을 통해 시간에 따른 미세조류의 응집상태를 실시간으로 분석하여 입증할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
