Abstract

In order to know relationships between green euglenoids and environmental factors, the species composition and density were assessed for 12 months together with environmental variables in the Jeonjucheon urban drainage, Korea. Nitrate was a high of 3.22 mg/1 in June and phosphate concentration was over 0.71 mg/l in the winter. The euglenoids totaled 5 genera and 71 species throughout the year, increasing in the early summer (35 to 42 texa) and decreasing in the winter (below 20 taxa). The number of green euglenoids positively correlated with surface water temperature. the total density of the green euglenoids showed a typical bimodal pattern, being maximal in the winter (5,394 cells/ml in June). The winter peak was a result of active growths of Euglena caudata, E. geniculata and E. viridis, however, each of which positively correlated with the phosphate. The early summer peak was attributed to Euglena deses, Lepocinclis ovum, and Phacus trypanon, each of which positively correlated with the ammonium and nitrate. The complete bimodal spectrum of species number and density of green euglenoids provides a sensitive image in detecting the changes of environmental variables in polluted waters such as Jeonjucheon.

녹색 유글레나조류와 수환경 요인과의 상호 관계를 규명하기 위하여, 전주시내 도심 하천에서 1996년 9월부터 1997년 8월가지 유글레나조류의 종조성과 밀도 및 환경요인을 매월 조사하였다. 질산염 농도는 6월에 3.22 mg/l로 높았고, 인산염은 겨울철에 0.71 mg/1 이상으로 높았다. 녹색 유글레나조류는 5속 71종이 출현하였으며, 봄에서 초여름 사이에 35${\sim}$42종으로 높고, 겨울에는 20종 이하였다. 출현종 수는 수온과는 정의 상관관계를 보여주었다. 녹색 유글레나조류의 밀도는 겨울과 초여름에 각각 최대가 되는 전형적인 bimodal형을 보여주었다. 겨울의 밀도는 5,394 ce11s/ml로, Euglena caudata, E. geniclata와 E. viridis의 활발한 생장에 기인하였으며, 인산염에 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 초여름의 밀도는 4,823 cells/ml로 E. deses, Lepocinclis ovum과 Phacus trypanon등의 활발한 생장에 기인하며, 암모늄염과 질산염에 정의 상관을 보였다. 녹색 유글레나조류의 생태적 특징은 전주천과 같이 오염된 수계에서 환경요인의 변화를 예측하는 생물학적 자료로 활용할 수 있다.
