Abstract

The current study was performed to elucidate the relationship between the anatoxin -a produced by cyanobacteria and aquatic environmental factors, Algal and water samples were collected from the Daechung Reservoir from June to November 2001. The physical factors of the water quality were measured in sifu, while the biological and chemical factors were examined in the laboratory. The concentrations of anatoxin-a in the algal and water samples were analyzed by HPLC using a fluorescence detector, and ranged from $0.61-8.68\;{\mu}g/g$ dw in the algal samples and $0.01-0.08\;{\mu}g/L$ in the water samples. The suggested maximum concentration of anatoxin-a for safe drinking water is $1\;{\mu}g/L$. The concentrations of anatoxin-a in the algal and water samples were highest in July. The relationships between tile aquatic environmental factors and the anatoxin-a concentration were also analyzed to identify the crucial elements for toxin production. The anatoxin-a concentrations in the algal samples exhibited a high correlation with nitrate, the TN/TP ratio, TDN (P<0.05), and TPN/TPP ratio (P<0.01), whereas the anatoxin-a concentrations in the water samples were highly related to the water temperature, conductivity (P<0.01) , pH, phycocyanin, and phycocyanin/chlorophyll a ratio (P<0.05).

남조류에 의해 생성되는 anatoxin-a의 양과 환경요인과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 대청호에서 2001년 6월부터 2001년 11월까지 조류 및 물 시료를 채취하였다. 환경요인 중 물리적 요인은 현장에서 측정하였고, 생물${\cdot}$화학적 요인은 실험실에서 측정하였다. 조류 및 물 시료에 존재하는 anatoxin-a의 양은 fluorescence detector를 이용하여 HPLC로 측정하였고, 조류 시료와 물 시료의 경우 각각$0.61-8.68\;{\mu}g/g\;dry wt$,$0.01-0.08\;{\mu}g/L$로 측정되었다. 음용수의 안전을 고려한 anatoxin-a의 권고기준 농도는 $1\;{\mu}g/L$로 제안되고 있다. 조류세포와 물 시료에서 anatoxin-a농도가 가장 높게 검출된 시기는 7월이었다. 독소 생성에 중요한 요인을 확인하기 위해 환경요인과 anatoxin-a농도와의상호관계를 살펴보았다. 조류 시료내 anatoxin-a농도는 nitrate,총질소와 총인 비율, 총용존질소(P<0.05)및 총입자성질소와 총입자성인 비율(P<0.05)과 높은 상관관계를 나타내었고, 물 시료내anatoxin-a 농도는 수온, 전기전도도(P<0.01), 수소이온농도, phycocyanin, phycocyanin과 엽록소 a비율 (P<0.01)과 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다.
