Abstract

Chromatium sp., densely populated on the bacterial plate of Lake Kaiike throughout the seasons, possibly fix N2 and concurrently produce H2 N2 Fixation and H2 production by Chromatium sp. were performed under photoautotrophic growth condition, and of which rates were much higher and showed expontial growth phase. Bacterial plater samples from Lake Kaiike collected on July 27, 1994 were used to know the effect of the light or H2S on N2 fixation and H2 productin by the bacteria. At low light intensity (250 lux), low rates of N2 fixation and H2 production were detected after 18 hours. However, high rates of the production were observed under the condition of high light intensity (1000 lux). On the other hand, a very low rate of N2 fixation was observed without an addition of H2S, while the bacterial rapilly increased N2 fixation and H2 production after adding H2S and the highest rate was observed in case of adding 20mg H2S-S/$m\ell$ to the bacterial plates.

카이이케 호수에서 년중 농밀한 개체군을 형성하고 있는 Chromatium sp.는 질소고정능을 가지고 있으며, 질소고정과정에서 수소를 생산한다. 이 균의 질소고정과 수소생산은 광합성 조건에서 활발히 이루어지며, 생장 중 대수생장기(exponential growth phase)에서 활성도가 가장 높았다. 1994년 7월 27일 채집한 카이이케 호수의 bacterial plate 식과를 이용하여 실험실에서 질소고정과 수소생산에 끼치는 빛과 황화수소의 영향을 조사하였다. 저조도 (250 lux) 에서는 실험개시후 약 18시간이 지나고나서 질소고정과 수소생산이 측정되었으나, 고조도(1000 lux)에서는 조사와 동시에 높은 속도의 질소고정과 수소생산이 관측되었다. 황화수소를 전혀 투입하지 않은 경우에는 극히 낮은 질소고정이 나타났으나, 황화수소의 농도의 증가에 따라 질소고정속도가 높아졌으며, 20 mg H sub(2)S-S/l에서 가장 높았다.
