To evaluate the limitation for epiphytic and planktonic algal growth, acid extractable inorganic phosphorus (AP), implying the luxury uptake phosphorus, was measured in five reed zones of Lake Biwa. The AP in epiphytic substances was 0.7 to 1.4 mg P surface stem $m^{-2}$ in summer and 1.2 to 2.8 mg P $m^{-2}$ in winter. On the other hand, the amount in planktonic substances was 1.4 to 5.7 mg P m -3 and 0.8 to 5.4 mg P $m^{-3}$ in both seasons. Contribution of AP in the epiphytic and planktonic phosphorus was 23 to 31% and 8 to 27% in summer, and 17 to 22% and 9 to 17% in winter. It suggests that in summer both epiphytic and planktonic algae had been luxuriously taken up phosphate into cells. The weight ratios of C : N : P were averaged 79 : 20 : 1 for the epiphytic substances and 81 : 12 : 1 for the particulate substances. On the other hand, the ratios without the luxurious phosphorus were 93 : 24 : 1 and 103 : 15 : 1, showing much higher values than the Redfield ratio. High ratio in the epiphytic substances indicates that the phosphorus is the limiting parameter, rather than nitrogen, regulating the growth of epiphytic algal populations.

The objective of the study was to determine nutrition regime and limitation in the Boryeng Reservoir where there's a water tunnel between Geum River and the reservoir. Evaluation was conducted through in situ algal bioassay experiments (in situ ABEs) using the cubitainer setting in the reservoirs. For in situ ABEs, we compared and analyzed variations in chlorophyll-a (CHL-a) and phosphorus concentrations in Boryeong Reservoir before and after the water tunnel construction. We then analyzed the nutrient effects on the reservoir. Analysis for nitrogen and phosphorus was done in the three locations of the reservoir and two locations of the ABEs. The in situ ABEs results showed that phosphorous and Nitrogen, the primary limiting nutrient regulating the algal biomass was not limited in the system. The treatments of phosphorus or simultaneous treatments of N+P showed greater algal growth than in the control of nitrate-treatments, indicating a phosphorus deficiency on the phytoplankton growth in the system. The water from the Geum River had 5 times higher total phosphorus (TP) than the water in the reservoir. Efficient management is required as pumping of the river water from Geum River may accelerate the eutrophication of the reservoir.

This bench-scale research investigated the aeration cycle(on/off) as the controlling factors for nitrogen and phosphorus removal in a 2-stage, intermittent aeration process. At this experiment, the aeration cycle time(air-on/air-off) was 30min/30min, 60min/60min, 90min/90min. Organic matter removal was observed more than 90% regardless of the aeration cycle and phosphorus removal was relatively high when the aeration cycle time was 60min/60min On the other hand. For all of the aeration cycle, TN removal was appeared less than 55%. This result was probably due to the limitation of the external substrate for heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification.

본 연구는 국내 대표적 인공호수인 대청호에서의 식물 플랑크톤의 1차 생산력을 알아보기 위하여 실험실과 현장에서 영양염 첨가 설험을 실시하였다. 실험을 위한 샘플을 2009년 9월 대청댐 앞 정수대 지점에서 채수 하였으며, 채수한 샘플은 Cubitainer에 6 L씩 분배하였다. 대조군은(Control) 영양염 처가 없이 원수 그대로 사용하였으며 6개의 처리군(Treatment)에는 $KH_2PO_4$와 $KNO_3$을 이용하여 P, 2P, 4P, $2NO_3$-N, $2NO_3$-N 그리고 질소와 인은 동시에 첨가한 P+$NO_3$-N의 농도로 영양염을 첨가하였다. 엽록소-$\alpha$ (Chlorophyll-$\alpha$)와 총질소(TN), 총인(TP)의 농도 변화를 매일 동일한 시간에 분석을 실시하였다. 단기 영양염 실험에서 인을 첨가해준 실험군은 대조군이나 질소를 첨가해준 처리군에 비해 식품플랑크톤의 성장이 뚜렷이 나타났으며, 이들 간의 높은 유의 수준을 보였다(p < 0.05). 또한 가장 높은 인의 농도를 첨가한 4P 처리군에서 P, 2P 처리군보다 높은 조류 성장률을 보였다. 반면 질소를 첨가한 처리군에서는 조류성장과 유의성을 보이지 않았다(p > 0.20). 염양염 첨가 실험결과 일반적으로 담수 생태계가 인에 의해 제한 된다는 다른 연구결과들과 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 인과 질소를 동시에 첨가한 처리군에서 가장 낮은 조류 성장률을 보였는데, 이는 제한 영양염이 인에 의해 작용 하더라도 질소와 함께 첨가될 경우 조류 성장 억제 될 수 있는 것으로 사료된다. 과거 장기간 측정된 대청댐의 상대비율 (TN:TP ratio)에 따르면 전체의 95% 이상이 17을 월등히 상회하는 값을 보여(Forsberg and Ryding, 1980), 총인과 총질소의 상대 비에 의해서도 인에 의한 제한 영양염 효과가 나타났다. 결과적으로 대청호의 정수대 부근에서 용존인이 일정량 이상 충분히 유지될 경우, 용존인은 식물플랑크톤의 생산력과 강한 양의 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 사료된다.

The object of this study was to determine long-term temporal and spatial patterns of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), suspended solids, and chlorophyll (Chl) in Chungju Reservoir, based on the dataset of 1992 - 2013, and then to develop the empirical models of nutrient-Chl for predicting the eutrophication of the reservoir. Concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were largely affected by an intensity of Asian monsoon and the longitudinal structure of riverine (Rz), transition (Tz), and lacustrine zone (Lz). This system was nitrogen-rich system and phosphorus contents in the water were relatively low, implying a P-limiting system. Regression analysis for empirical model, however, showed that Chl had a weak linear relation with TP or TN, and this was mainly associated with turbid, and nutrient-rich inflows in the system. The weak relation was associated with non-algal light attenuation coefficients (Kna), which is inversely related water residence time. Thus, values of Chl had negative functional relation (R² = 0.25, p < 0.001) with nonalgal light attenuation. Thus, the low chlorophyll at a given TP indicated a light-limiting for phytoplankton growth and total suspended solids (TSS) was highly correlated (R² = 0.94, p < 0.001) with non-algal light attenuation. The relations of Trophic State Index (TSI) indicated that phosphorus limitation was weak [TSI (Chl) - TSI (TP) < 0; TSI (SD) - TSI (Chl) > 0] and the effects of zooplankton grazing were also minor [TSI (Chl) - TSI (TP) > 0; TSI (SD) - TSI (Chl) > 0].

During the period of past fifteen years (1992~2006), variations of chlorophyll a in relation with water quality in freshwater reservoirs were investigated. This study compared total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll a, Secchi depth (SD) and total suspended solids (TSS) between terrestrial freshwater reservoir and coastal freshwater reservoir systems based on their location. Regression analyses (linear and non-linear regressions) were applied for all study sites to examine relationship and interaction of these factors in the freshwater systems from in-land to coasts. The results demonstrated that chlorophyll a was significantly correlated to total phosphorus ($R^2=0.94$, P<0.0001) and was remarkably related to TSS increase ($R^2=0.63$, P<0.0001) in the selected reservoirs. The TN : TP ratio in the reservoir systems was higher than Redfield ratio (16 : 1) indicating that the reservoirs are potentially experiencing P limitation. Water quality of coastal freshwater reservoir system was more significantly decreased than the reservoirs located in in-land during the past fifteen years. The strict management of nutrient discharge into freshwater systems should implemented in the coastal reservoirs since the freshwater is introduced into coastal estuarine systems.

It has a limitation to satisfy the phosphorus effluent criteria of 0.2 mg/L which will be reinforced from 2012 with the Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) process. The chemical coagulation process has been operated in parallel with the biological treatment process for advanced treatment of phosphorous in the developed countries including Europe. However, the coagulation process has some disadvantages such as the desired goal may not be achieved without injecting the optimum dosage of the coagulant. This study developed the automatic control system to inject the optimum dosage of phosphorous coagulant into the coagulation process. The adopted coagulant was 10% Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) in this study. The automatic control system developed in this study was adopted for the treatment of the phosphorus from the effluent in SBR process. The automatic control system was composed of the data receiving part, the optimum coagulant dosage control part and the data transmit part. The result of the phosphorous advanced treatment of the SBR effluent using the automatic control system showed the removing efficiency over 95% consistently with the phosphorous concentration under 0.02 ~ 0.15 mg/L. The reproducibility analysis for checking the safety of automatic control system showed more than 95% correlation.

Photosynthetic parameters of Scendesmus quadricauda, such as the maximum photosynthetic rate ($P_{max}$), photosynthetic efficiency (α) and the initial saturation intensity of irradiance for photosynthesis ($I_K$) were obtained using photosynthesis-irradiance (P-I) curve in a phosphorus-limited chemostat. S. quadricauda exhibitied no photoinhibition until at 200 μmol·$m^{-2}$ . $P_{max}$ (r=0.963, P=0.002) and $I_K$(r=0.904, P=0.013) showed linear relationships with growth rate. Chlorophyll-α concentration and cell dry weight decreased at higher growth rates, ut chlorophyll-α content per cell dry weight increased. The increase in photosynthetic rates at higher growth rates was due to the increase of $P_{max}$ and $I_K$ which was caused mainly by the increase in the absolute amount of chlorophyll-α rather than the increased photosynthetic efficiency of individual chlorphyll-α. The α did not show a significant relationship with growth rate (r=0.714, P=0.111). The cell quota of carbon (r=0.554, P=0.254) was not correlated with growth rate, but cell quota of nitrogen (r=0.818, P=0.047) and phosphorus (r=0.855, P=0.030) exhibited linear correlations with growth rate.

동복호의 식물플랑크톤 성장을 제한하는 영양염을 파악하기 위하여 기존자료 분석과 계절별 영양염 첨가 배양 실험을 실시하였다. 장기간 자료를 분석한 결과, TN과 TP는 강우와 유의한 상관성을 보였지만 DIN, DIP는 강우와 유의한 상관성을 나타내지 않았다. TN/TP와 DIN/DIP는 16 이상의 결과를 나타냄으로서 인산염에 의하여 식물플랑크톤의 성장이 잠재적으로 제한될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 영양염 첨가 배양 실험을 수행한 결과, 모든 계절에서 클로로필 a가 인산염 첨가군에 반응을 나타내었지만 암모니아, 질산, 규산염과 같은 영양염에 대해서는 크게 반응하지 않았다. 또한 크기에 따른(net and nano size) 식물플랑크톤의 반응 역시 인산염에서 반응을 나타냄으로서 인산염이 식물플랑크톤의 성장을 제한하는 영양염임을 검정하였다. 가을철 배양실험에서 배양 전과 배양 후 인산염 첨가군의 우점종 변화를 보면, 배양 전에는 일부 유글레나류가 우점을 나타내었지만, 배양 후 인산염 첨가군에서는 규조류의 우점을 나타내었다.

토양으로부터 oleic acid 를 탄소원으로 이용하여 MCL-PHA의 생산능이 우수한 균주를 분리하여 Pseudomonas sp. MBEL21이라 명명하였다. Pseudomonas sp. MBEL21의 PHA함량을 증가시키기 위하여 여러 가지 필수 영양분의 제한 조건에서 배양한 결과, 인산이 제한된 조건에서 가장 높은 함량의 PHA를 축적하였다. 고농도의 MCL-PHA생산을 위한 Pseudomonas sp. MBEL21의 유가식 배양 전략을 개발하여 28.1 wt％의 함량으로 23 g/L. MCL-PHA를 생산하였다. 또한, 분리된 Pseudomonas sp. MBEL21을 olive oil을 탄소원으로 이용하여 배양한 결과 9.3 wt％의 PHA가 축적되어졌으며, MCL-hydroxyalkanoate와 함께 3-hyoxy-butyrate 의 단량체들로 이루어진 PHA가 확인되어졌다. 이러한 결과들은 분리된 신규 Pseudomonas sp. MBEL21이 저가의 olive oil로부터 생분해성 탄성체의 응용분야를 갖는 MCL-PHA를 효율적으로 생산할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.
