Abstract

Grazer-induced colony formation was examined using a green alga Scenedesmus dimorphus (T$\ddot{u}$rpin) K$\ddot{u}$tzing. Algae were cultured in a medium with or without filtered water taken from cultures of Daphnia magna Straus (300 ind./L) or Moina macrocopa Straus (500 ind./L). The exposure to zooplankton filtered water (ZFW)promoted colony formation in S. dimorphus, with the magnitude of this response being directly proportional to the relative volume of ZFW that was added to the culture medium. The number of cells/colony and mean particle biovolume of S. dimorphus increased between 24 and 72 hours after exposure to ZFW, most likely due to the influence of chemicals released from D. magna or M. macrocopa, and possily as a defense mechanism against zooplankton grazing.

상위포식자에 의해 유도되는 Scenedesmus dimorphus (T$\ddot{u}$rpin) K$\ddot{u}$tzing의 군체형성에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 동물플랑크톤 Daphnia magna (300 ind./L)와 Moina macrocopa (500 ind./L) 배양한후, $0.1\;{\mu}m$ (millipore)로 여과하여 얻어낸 용액 (ZFW)을 S. dimorphus가 1.8 ($10^5\;cells/ml$까지 자란 처리군에 첨가하여, ZFW를 넣지않은 대조군과 비교하였다. 대조군에 비해 두 동물플랑크톤 처리군에서 S. dimorphus의 군체형성의 유도가 뚜렷이 관찰되었다. 이 현상은 M. macrocopa 보다는 D. magna처리군에서 뚜렷하게 관찰되었으며, 첨가해준 ZFW의 양이 증가할수록 particle당 세포수도 비례적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. ZFW처리군에서 1군체당 세포수(cells/colony)와 평균체적 (mean particle biovolume)은 $24{\sim}72$시간 사이에 급격히 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다. S. dimorphus의 군체형성현상은 동물플랑크톤 D. magna와 M. macrocopa의 분비물에서 유도되는 화학물질의 영향으로 보이며, 이와 같은 형태변화현상은 동물플랑크톤의 포식에 대한 방어기작으로 작용하게 될 것으로 사료된다.
