The effects of environmental forcing on autotrophic picoplankton distributional patterns were investigated for convergence ($5^{\circ}N$), divergence ($9^{\circ}N-10^{\circ}30'N$) and oligotrophic ($17^{\circ}N$) sites in the tropical eastern Pacific during 2001 and 2003 KODOS (Korea Deep Ocean Study) cruises. The distributions of picoplankton populations - Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and picoeukaryotes algae - were determined by flow cytometric analyses. Latitudinal variations in abundance maxima, vertical profiles, integrated abundance (0-150 m), and estimated carbon biomass were contrasted for each site according to three hydrological conditions. Prochlorococcus showed consistently high abundance in the surface mixed layers of all sites at $1\;{\times}\;10^5{\sim}3\;{\times}\;10^5\;cells\;ml^{-1}$ and showed declining abundance below these layers. However, these decreasing rates were not particularly sharp showing considerably high abundance at $1\;{\times}\;10^4\;cells\;ml^{-1}$ or higher even at 100 m depth. Vertical profiles of Synechococcus and picoeukaryotes were generally parallel to each other in all sites. A clear abundance maximum was observed at divergence site at or slightly above the pycnocline depth. Higher abundance was observed at the surface mixed layer for convergence site but a sharp decrease was observed below the pycnocline. However, there was no significant abundance fluctuation with depth at more oligotrophic site ($17^{\circ}N$). Integrated cell abundance of Prochlorococcus was high in the oligotrophic site at $2.17\;{\times}\;10^{13}\;m^{-2}$, and low in the convergence site at $0.88\;{\times}\;10^{13}\;m^{-2}$. However, opposite pattern was observed for Synechococcus and picoeukaryotes where relatively high integrated cell abundance was shown in the convergence site. Estimated carbon biomass of Prochlorococcus contributed 30.4-80.3% of total autotrophic picoplankton carbon showing the highest contribution in the oligotrophic site and the lowest contribution in the convergence site. Synechococcus contribution of total autotrophic picoplantkon carbon biomass was lower than 5.8% for most of sites except the convergence site where Synechococcus contributed 23.2% of picoplankton carbon biomass. Carbon biomass of picoeukaryotes was 18.8-46.4% showing the highest carbon biomass at the convergence site. Overall, Prochlorococcus showed higher cell abundance and carbon biomass and exhibited different reaction to hydrological conditions when compare with the other two major autotrophic picoplankton groups.

Changes in the proximate composition, lipid classes, and fatty acids were studied in chub mackerel Scomber japonicus and Japanese jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus muscles cooked using a frying pan, oven, and microwave oven. The moisture content was high in the raw samples (chub mackerel 65.5%, Japanese jack mackerel 60.5%) and decreased with cooking, especially in the frying pan method (chub mackerel 49.2%, Japanese jack mackerel 49.8%). In contrast, the protein, lipid and ash contents increased significantly with cooking in chub mackerel muscle (P<0.05). However, the lipid content of Japanese jack mackerel muscle showed no significant difference between the samples using the three cooking methods and the raw sample. The dripped lipid contents from the cooked muscles showed the highest levels in the frying pan samples and the lowest levels in the microwave oven samples. The percentage of non-polar lipid (NL) in the total lipid content was over 95% in the muscle lipids (10.43-21.86 g/100 g sample). Prominent fatty acids were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA), 16:1n-7 and 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA) in both fish muscles and dripped lipids. There was no change in the EPA level in any of the fish muscles, by any cooking method. The percentage of DHA in the muscle of chub mackerel showed the lowest level in the frying pan sample and the highest level in the microwave oven and raw samples, and an intermediate level in the oven sample. However, the percentage of DHA in the Japanese jack mackerel muscle was not significantly different between the various cooking methods. From these results, the microwave oven and oven cooking methods showed relatively low levels of dripped lipid content and loss of n-3 PUFA compared with the frying pan cooking method.

We have designed a 20-residue hybrid peptide CA(1-8)-MA(1-12) (CAMA) incorporating residues 1-8 of cecropin A (CA) and residues 1-12 of magainin 2 (MA) with high bacterial cell selectivity. CAMA-P2 is an ${\alpha}$-helical antimicrobial peptide designed from a CAMA hybrid peptide and substitution of Gly-Ile-Gly hinge sequence of CAMA to Pro influences the flexibility at central part of CAMA. Based on structure-activity relationships of CAMA peptides, to investigate the effects of the total positive charges on antimicrobial activity of CAMA-P2, the $Ser^{14}{\rightarrow}$Lys analogue (CAMA-syn1) was synthesized. The role of tryptophan at C-terminal ${\alpha}$-helix on its antimicrobial activity as well as synergistic activity was also investigated using $Ser^{14}{\rightarrow}$Lys/$Phe^{18}{\rightarrow}$Trp analogue (CAMA-syn2). Also, we designed CAMA-syn3 by substitution of $Lys^{16}$ located opposite side of substituted $Lys^{14}$ of CAMA-syn1 with Leu residue, resulting in increase of hydrophobicity and amphipathicity of the peptide. All of CAMA-syn analogues showed good antimicrobial activities similar to those of CAMA and CAMA-P2. The CAMA-syn1 and CAMA-syn2 showed low hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity against human keratinocyte Haca-T cells while CAMA-syn3 showed hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity at its MIC value. We then investigated their abilities to act synergistically in combination with the antimicrobial flavonoids and synthetic compounds screened in our laboratory. The results showed that all peptides exhibited synergistic effects with dihydrobinetin, while only CAMA-syn2 exhibited synergistic effects with YKAs3001 against both S. aureus and MRSA, suggesting that Trp residue at C-terminus of CAMA-syn2 may facilitate the polar antibiotic flavonoids and synthetic compounds to permeabilize the membrane. This study will be useful for the development of new antibiotic peptides with potent antimicrobial and synergistic activity but without cytotoxicity.

선박용 디젤엔진 배기가스에 포함된 입자상물질(PM) 가운데서 블랙카본(BC)은 극지방의 해빙을 촉진시키고 온난화를 유발하는 원인물질로서 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 향후 예상되는 PM/BC 배출 규제에 선제적으로 대응하고, 저감기술 개발 및 실증을 위한 기초연구의 일환으로 한국해양대학교 실습선 한바다호를 이용하여 실제 운항 중에 주기관의 배기관 수 포인트에서 PM을 샘플링하여 HR-TEM을 통해 그 구조와 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 배기가스 분석기를 이용하여 운전조건별 배기가스 내 유해물질의 배출 경향을 확인하였다. 분석 결과 엔진에서 배출된 PM의 구조는 구형 입자들의 촘촘하지 않은 체인형 결합으로 이루어져 있으며, 과급기로부터 멀어질수록 온도 저하에 의한 응집이 더 많이 관찰되었고 BC 특유의 graphitic 구조를 잃어가면서 점점 amorphous 구조를 띠는 경향이 나타났다. 또한 배기가스 분석을 통해 엔진 회전수가 증가할수록 배기 내 PM의 농도는 감소할 것으로 예측되었다.

열가소성고분자에 첨가되는 가소제는 외부로의 용출로 인해 제품의 수명을 단축시키고, 일부는 환경, 인체에 유해한 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 발암물질로 의심되는 프탈레이트계 가소제의 사용이 점차 금지됨에 따라 이를 대체할 수 있는 친환경 가소제에 대한 필요성이 요구되며 대부분의 물질은 수지와의 상용성이 다소 떨어지거나 단가가 높으며 구체적인 안전성 검증이 부족한 문제가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 대체 가소제 후보물질로서 우수한 물리적 물성과 독성 평가에서 안전한 화합물로 보고되어진 노보넨 다이알킬에스터 화합물 4종을 PVC 수지에 첨가하여 용출에 의한 인체 노출 가능성을 평가하고 상용가소제 DEHP, DINCH, DOTP와 비교 분석하여 대체 물질로서의 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 시험은 american standard test method (ASTM) 규격에 준하여 시행하였으며 결과에 따르면, 수성 용매에서 di-2-ethylhexyl-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylate (DEHN), 유성용매에서 diisopentyl-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylate (DIPN) 화합물이 DEHP 대비 우수하거나 동등한 수치를 나타내었다. 또한 4종의 노보넨 화합물 모두 환경에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 수준으로 평가되는 100 ppm보다 낮은 수치를 나타내었으며 이는 극성부인 노보넨 구조가 용출성에 영향을 미친 것으로 보여진다.

The changes in the proximate compositions, lipid classes, and fatty acids of muscle and dripped lipids, and the amino acid compositions and mineral content were studied in Spanish mackerel Scomberomorus niphonius muscle cooked using a frying pan, oven, and microwave oven. The moisture content was high in the raw sample (65.7%) and decreased with cooking, decreasing the most with frying pan method (54.5%). Conversely, the protein, lipid and ash contents increased significantly with cooking (P<0.05). The dripped lipid content from the cooked muscles was the highest with the frying pan sample (0.81%) and was approximately half this level in the oven (0.46%) and microwave oven (0.34%) samples. The percentage of non-polar lipid (NL) in the total lipid content exceeded 95% for the muscle lipids (13.9-17.6 g/100 g sample) and 99% for the dripped lipids (0.34-0.81 g/100 g sample). The prominent fatty acids were 18:1n-9, 16:0, 22:6n-3, 16:1n-7, and 20:5n-3 in the muscle and dripped lipids. The frying pan muscle lipid contained high levels of saturates and monoenes such as 16:0, 18:0, and 18:1n-9, and low levels of polyenes compared with other muscle lipids. The fatty acid compositions of the dripped lipids were similar with all three cooking methods. The prominent total amino acids in Spanish mackerel muscle were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, leucine, and arginine, and their proportions were similar (45.49-45.82%) in all samples. The potassium and phosphorous contents increased significantly with cooking (P<0.05), and while no heavy metals were detected in any sample. These results indicate that the change in nutritional components, especially the lipid content, was lower with the microwave oven and oven methods compared with the frying pan method.

본 연구에서는 쾨펜의 기후대 구분법을 이용하여 현재 아시아 지역(경도 $55.6^{\circ}{\sim}149.3^{\circ}$, 위도 $-11.5^{\circ}{\sim}53.0^{\circ}$) 기후대를 분석하고, IPCC SRES A2 시나리 오상황에서의 기후대 변화를 전망하였다. 이와 더불어 기후대 구분의 기준이 되는 강수 및 기온자료의 시공간적 변동성을 분석하였다. 기후요소의 변동성을 분석한 결과, 2080년경에는 기준기간(1991~2010)에 비해 기온은 $4.0^{\circ}C$, 강수량은 12% 증가할 것으로 전망되었다. 공간적으로는 기온의 경우 고위도 지역이 저위도 지역보다 기온상승폭이 크게 나타났으며 강수량은 지역적 편중이 심화될 것으로 전망되었다. 기후대 변화를 전망한 결과, 대체로 온난한 기후대의 면적은 증가한 반면, 한랭한 기후대의면적은 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 기준기간 대비 2080년경에는 열대 기후대(A)의 경우 7.2%, 건조 기후대(B)는 1.9% 증가하였으며 온대 기후대(C), 냉대 기후대(D), 한대 기후대(E)는 각각 -2.4%, -4.9%, -1.8% 감소하는 것으로 전망되었다. 이러한 결과는 지구온난화에 따른 기온 증가와 사막화의 영향에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

결론적으로 전체 식물플랑크톤과 소형식물플랑크톤의 생체량이 높았던 2월에는 규조류 S. costatum과 Thalassiosira spp.가 우점하였으며 특히 내측해역에서 높은 농도를 보였는데 이는 2월의 낮은 수온과 내측해역의 풍부한 규산염에 의한 영향으로 판단된다. 5월에는 전체 식물플랑크톤과 소형식물플랑크톤이 상당히 감소하였는데 이는 영양염의 감소 특히 인산염 제한에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 5월에는 미소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높게 나타났고 규조류 Rhizosolenia spp.와 Pseudo-nitzschia spp.가 우점하였으나 2월에 비해 낮은 chlorophyll a 농도를 나타내고 있으며 이는 낮은 농도의 영양염 특히 DIN:DIP와 Si:DIP의 분포를 통해서도 알 수 있듯이 인산염의 농도가 크게 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 담수 유입으로 인해 내측해역의 염분이 낮았던 7월에는 소형식물플랑크톤이 평균 58.4%의 기여율을 보였으며, 미소형식물플랑크톤은 평균 32.6%의 기여율을 보여주고 있다. 또한 내측해역에서 monad type의 phytoflagellate와 남조류 Oscillatoria spp.가 우세하였고 외측해역에서는 S. costatum이 우세하게 나타났다. 9월에는 7월과 마찬가지로 염분이 낮은 내측해역에서는 미소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높았으며 monad type의 phytoflagellate가 우점하였고 외측 해역에서는 소형식물플랑크톤의 기여율이 높았으며 규조류 Chaetocems spp.가 새로운 우점속으로 출현하였다. 이와 같이 아산만의 환경적인 변화에 따라서 우점속의 변화를 가져왔으며 이런 우점속의 변화는 식물플랑크톤 군집의 계절적 변화를 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 식물플랑크톤 군집에 대한 연구가 부족했던 아산만의 식물플랑크톤 역학을 이해하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Nitrification performance of fixed film biofilters using coarse sand, loess bead, or styrofoam beads in biofilter columns 1 meter high and 30cm in diameter were studied at different hydraulic and organic matter loading rates. Synthetic wastewater was supplied to the culture tank in order to maintain desired TAN concentrations in inlet water to biofilters. All the biofilters were conditioned 5 months before start of sampling. TAN and $NO_2-N$ conversion rates increased with an increase in the hydraulic loading rate (HLR). However, the improvement in biofilter performance was not linearly correlated to HLR in styrofoam bead filters. This is mainly due to the characteristics of the styrofoam beads used. TAN conversion rates of sand filters increased with the increase of HLR up to $200m^3/m^2$. per day. No increase in the TAN conversion rate was observed at the highest HLR since flooding on the media surface took place. HLR had a significant impact on the TAN conversion rates in loess bead filter up to the highest HLR tested (P<0.05). TAN conversion rates were much less at organic matter loading rates of 9 and 18kg $O_2/m^3$ per day than those without the addition of organic matter in styrofoam bead filters. The addition of glucose resulted in a reduction of the TAN conversion rate from 540 to 284g $TAN/m^3$ per day. No significant difference of TAN conversion rates between the two organic matter loading rates was found (p<0.05). This indicates that the impact of organic matter on nitrification becomes less and less sensitive with an increase in the COD/TAN ratio. At an organic matter loading rate of 9kg $O_2/m^3$. per day, a great reduction of TAN conversion rates was observed in sand filters and loess bead filters. Clearly, organic matter can be one of the most Important Impacting factors on nitrification. $NO_2-N$ conversion rates showed a similar trend for TAN. Based on the TAN and nitrite conversion rates, styrofoam beads showed the best performance among the three filter media tested. Also, the low gravity and price of styrofoam beads make the handling easier and more cost-effective for commercial application. The results obtained at the highest organic matter loading rates can be used in the biofilter design in recirculating aquaculture system.
