We investigated a possible reduction in $CO_2$ uptake rate by phototrophic red tide dinoflagellates arising from mixotrophy. We measured the daily ingestion rates of Prorocentrum minimum by Prorocentrum micans over 5 days in 10 L experimental bottles, and the uptake rates of total dissolved inorganic carbon ($C_T$) by a mixture of P. micans and P. minimum(mixotrophic growth), and for the predator P. micans (phototrophic growth; control) and prey P. minimum (phototrophic growth; control) alone. To account for the effect of pH on the phototrophic growth rates of P. micans and P. minimum, measurements of $C_T$ and pH in the predator and prey control bottles were continued until the pH reached the same level (pH 9.5) as that in the experimental bottles on the final day of incubation. The measured total $C_T$ uptake rate by the mixture of P. micans and P. minimum changed from 123 to $161{\mu}mol\;C_T\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ over the course of the experiment, and was lower than the $C_T$ uptake rates shown by P. micans and P. minimum in the predator and prey control bottles, respectively, which changed from 132 to $17{\mu}mol\;C_T\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ over the course of the experiment. The reduction in total $C_T$ uptake rate arising from the mixotrophy of P. micans was 7-31% of the daily $C_T$ uptake rate seen during photosynthesis. The results suggest that red tide dinoflagellates take up less $C_T$ during mixotrophy.

The effect of glucose and 2-thiobarbituric acid on the biosynthesis of cell constituents such as protein, carbohydrate, DNA, RNA, phospholipid and PCA-soluble phosphate compounds in Chlorella duing the life cycle was measured, and the changes in the content of these main cellular components of the algal cell were analyzed in connection with the nuclear and cytoplasmic divison. In the normal autotrophic synchronous culture the contents of protein, RNA, and DNA in the cell showed a chracteristic changes according to the progress of cell development, increasing more or less throughout all the life cycle. The synthesis of protein is more prominent in the division period nad that of DNA is more active in the ripening period, while the synthesis of RNA is more rapid in the growing and ripening periods than other developmental stages. The period of division cycle was little affected by glucose in the medium, although the synchrony of the growth and cellular division was disturbed and the n value increased. The cotents of protein, carbohydrate, RNA nad DNA of the cell were increased by the glucose treatment throughout all the life cycle. On the other hand, both of cellular growth and division were retarded severely and the n value was decreased by the 2-thiobarbituric acid treatment throughout all the life cycle. On the other hand, both of cellular growth and division were retarded severely and the n value was decreased by the 2-thiobarbituric acid treatment. The synthesis of protein, carbohydrate, DNA, RNA and phospholipid of the cell was also retarded by 2-thiobarbituric acid. In the autotrophic, mixotrophic and 2-thiobarbituric acid-treated cultures, each having different mode cytoplasmic division, a common general schema occurring in the cell during the life cycle may be drawn as follows. The ratio of RNA to protein attains maximum value in the $L_1$-cell stage prior to the nuclear division and thereafter decreases during the periods of ripening and division. The ratio of PCA-soluble phosphate compounds to protein increased from the begining of the culture to $L_4$-cell stage successively and thereafter decreased gradually during the division period, while the ratio of protein to DNA kept almost constant up to the division period and thereafter increased during the division period. Therefore, it is presumed that the increase in the ratio of RNA to protein is to be an inducer of nuclear division and that the cytoplasmic division is induced by the increase in the ratio of protein to DNA.

식물의 조직배양에서 가장 널리 이용되는 MS 배지 등의 무기성분은 종속영양에 적합하도록 조성되었다. 그러므로 이들 배지가 혼합영양이나 독립영양 배양에는 부적합 할 수 도 있다. 광혼합영양 미세증식에서 배지에 첨가되는 당의 수준은 낮추고 배양기의 광과 $CO_2$ 수준은 올리며, 광합성의 의한 탄소의 획득을 증진시키기 위해 열록소가 있는 절편체를 이용한다. Factorial 실험에서 유기물 (OM, $m^{-3}$ 배지당 각각 0.5g의 thiamine, nicotinic acid 및 pyridoxine과 100g ${\cdot}$ $m^{-3}$ myo-inositiol)의 첨가(+)와 생략(_) 및 세 가지 수준의 당(0, 15 및 30 kg ${\cdot}$ $m^{-3}$)이 감자 소식물체의 생장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 단엽단절 절편체를 0.1${\times}$$10^{-4}m^{-3}$의 MS 아가(8 kg ${\cdot}$ $m^{-3}$) 배지(증기소독 전 pH 5.80)배지가 담긴 유리 시험관(100mm${\times}$25mm)에 치상하여 직경 6mm의 가스투과 필터(5.1 air exchanges ${\cdot}$$h^{-1}$)가 부착된 투명한 필름으로 봉하여 배양하였다. 배양체는 27일간 $23^{\circ}C$, 50% RH에서 16 h ${\cdot}$ $d^{-1}$의 명기 동안에 cool white 형광등으로 130${\mu}mol\;{\codt}\;m\;{\codt}\;s^{-1}$ PPFD의 광과 350-450${\mu}mol\;{\codt}\;mol^{-1}의CO_2$가 공급되는 배양실에서 배양되었다. 유기물이 공급된 처리(+OM)와 공급되지 않은 처리(-OM)에서 감자 소식물체의 생육은 유사하였으나 배지의 pH는 후자에서 0.2 더 낮았다. 배지에 첨가된 당의 수준이 증가할수록 건물중, % 건물율 및 경경은 증진된데 반해 신초와 뿌리의 건물중 비율, 엽면적, 건물중당 엽록소 함량 및 배지의 pH는 감소하였다. 유기물과 당 수준간의 상호작용도 신초길이와 배지 pH에서 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 광도와 $CO_2$농도를 높인 광혼압영양배양에서 감자 소식물체의 생장에는 배지에 첨가되는 당은 유익하지만 그 이외의 유기물은 첨가하지 않아도 악영향이 없다는 것은 나타낸다.

The mixotrophic marine ciliate Mesodinium rubrum possesses a highly modified algal endosymbiont as a nutrition source for the species. Accordingly, we assumed that the species can reflect the ecotoxicity on marine producer (as phytoplankton) and consumer (as zooplankton) both. A series of experiments were conducted to identify the potential of the species as a standard test species for marine ecotoxicological study. The comparison of species sensitivity on reference toxic materials was made using potassium dichromate for phytoplankton and copper chloride for zooplankton. The ciliate revealed the highest sensitivity on both reference materials among the seven test species including phytoplankton, benthic copepod and rotifer species. The toxicity end point of the species was 72hr-$EC_{50}$=1.52 mg/L (as potassium dichromate) estimated by population growth inhibition (PGI), which is more sensitive than the most sensitive phytoplankton Skeletonema costatum (72hr-$EC_{50}$=3.05 mg/L). As comparison to rotifer, it also revealed higher sensitivity on copper chloride; 72hr-$EC_{50}$=0.38 mg/L for ciliate and 48hr-$EC_{50}$=0.48 mg/L for rotifer. Also, the elutriate toxicity test of various ocean disposal wastes were conducted to identify the potential of ciliate toxicity test application using industrial waste sludges. The toxicity of leather processing waste sludge was highest on the ciliate, followed by dyeing waste sludge and dye production waste sludge as an increasing order of toxicity. 72h-$EC_{50}$ of ciliate PGI test was 1.83% and that of S. costatum 3.84% for leather waste sludge which showed highest toxicity. The toxicity test results also revealed that the highest sensitivity was observed on ciliate species on ocean disposed sludge wastes. Also, ciliate toxicity test well discriminated the degree of toxicity between sludge sources; 72h-$EC_{50}$ values were 1.83% for leather processing waste sludge, 16.75% for dye production waste sludge and 27.75% for textile production waste sludge. Even the laboratory culture methods of the species were not generally established yet, the species has high potential as the standard test species for marine toxicity test in terms of the dual reflection of phyto- and zooplankton toxicity from single test, sensitivity and test replicability.
