순환식 수경재배에서 배양액의 조성이나 농도를 정해놓고 일정기간 공급하면 배양액의 pH와 EC의 변화가 생긴다. 보통 배양액의 공급은 재배개시시에 다량 공급하고 그 이후에는 부족한 양만큼을 공급하게 되는데, 시작배양액과 추가배양액의 조성은 같아도 이온의 총량은 다르다. 때문에 재배기간중에 pH의 변화양상이 다르게 나타나는 것이다. 이러한 현상을 피하기 위하여 이온의 총량을 기초로 하여 추가배양액의 이온조성을 조정하여 공급하므로써 배양액의 pH를 안정하게 유지할 수 있을 것으로 추측한다. (중략)

This experiment was conducted to elucidate the proper suppling frequency of nutrient solution for grafted cactus Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. friedrichii grown hydroponically without medium. Grafted cactus seedlings were planted onto the cultivation bed without medium, using labor-saving tray. The treatments like 1, 3, 5 and 7 times of nutrient solution supply per day and continuous soaking of plant root in the nutrient solution during the daytime were tested in summer and winter season. The growth of grafted cactus was worst in the treatment of one time supply of nutrient solution per day, and there were not significant difference in growth of grafted cactus among other treatments both in summer and winter season. 17.6% of grafted cactus seedlings failed to rooting in the treatment of one time supply of nutrient solution per day in winter season. The proper suppling frequency of nutrient solution, for the grafted cactus Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. friedrichii grown hydroponically without medium, was three times supply of nutrient solution per day both in summer and winter seasons considering growth and rooting of plants.

Raising seedlings is important for fruit crops and is especially significant for strawberries as it accounts for 80% of their cultivation. However, there are few studies on raising seedlings of strawberries by hydroponics. Since strawberries show clear differences in growth characteristics based on cultivar, it is necessary to develop suitable fertilizer formula, concentration and pH for each cultivar, and also to examine the amount of nutrient feeding appropriate for each medium type. A key to raising seedlings of strawberries by hydroponics is the development of strategies to manage the concentration of nutrient solution. The mother plants of 'Daewang' strawberries were planted on hydroponics benches filled with cocopeat on March 28, 2012. Three nutrient solution treatments were employed during the term of raising seedlings: a type that supplied EC $0.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ nutrient solution for 30 days and only water for 20 days [0.6 (30) + 20]; a type that supplied EC $1.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ nutrient solution for 30 days and only water for 20 days [1.2 (30) + 20]; and a type that supplied EC $1.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ nutrient solution for 50 days [1.2 (50)]. The plants were then planted on hydroponics benches filled with cocopeat on September 20, and managed with EC $0.6-0.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ strawberry nutrient solution developed by Yamazaki. After planting, shoot growth, flowering rate and fruit quality of the first cluster were investigated. The petiole length, leaf length, leaf width and crown diameter showed the highest grown in the [1.2 (50)] treatment, followed by [1.2 (30) + 20], and then [0.6 (30) + 20], indicating that the higher concentration of nutrient solution was preferable for raising seedlings. However, the growth differences among treatments gradually disappeared as growth continued, and the crown diameter especially grew to exhibit almost no difference at all among treatments. The point of flowering came first in [0.6 (30) + 20], followed by [1.2 (30) + 20] and then [1.2 (50)]. The [0.6 (30) + 20] treatment showed much earlier flowering than other treatments, which implies that low-concentration nutrient solution may be beneficial to the flowering of 'Daewang' strawberries while raising seedlings. There was no statistically significant difference among treatments in fruit length, fruit diameter and fruit firmness. Fruit weight in [1.2 (50)] treatment was significantly higher than other treatments. However, soluble solids of fruit was the lowest in [1.2 (50)] treatment. Together, the results of this experiment imply that it is better to supply EC $0.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ solution for 30 days and then supply only water for 20 days to adequately manage concentration of nutrient solutions during the period of raising seedlings of strawberries by hydroponics.

A microcomputer-aided fermentation system was constructed for high density fed-batch culture using dissolved oxygen(DO) as a substrate feeding indicator. DO signal was processed prior to aquisition to computer. Agitation speed and oxygen flow rate was changed stepwisely to maintain DO value at a constant level. Agitation speed was controlled by the output signal of D/A converter. Oxygen flow rate was controlled by a flow rate control valve connected to a stepping motor. Substrate was fed with a feeding pump operated by the abrupt increase of DO signal. Methylobacillus sp. SK1 was cultivated to test the system and 16.53g/l of cell density was obtained after 10 hr.

This study aimed to investigate the nutrient solution developed by based on nutrient-water absorption rate of strawberry 'Maehyang' by comparing growth and yield for 8 months with 5 kinds of nutrient solution with different ion composition. Strawberry plants were planted at elevated bed and supplied with five kinds of nutrient solutions (RDA), Yamazaki, PBG, University of Seoul (UOS) and NewUOS from one month onwards. Five types of nutrient solution were supplied to the strawberry plants associated with EC $1.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, pH 6.0, $150{\sim}300mL{\cdot}plant^{-1}$ per day. At 60 days after planting, leaf width and leaf petiole of the strawberry plants showed significant differences among nutrient solution types and photosynthesis was higher in RDA and NewUOS nutrient solution and lower in PBG nutrient solution. The EC of the drainage on vegetative growth stage was $0.7{\sim}0.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, which is lower than the supplied EC level, and to $1.0-1.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, afterwards. The pH of the drainage was higher in Yamzaki solution as 6.2~6.8, while the pH of the UOS nutrient solution was lower in 5.1~5.2. Nitrate content was most absorbed in vegetative growth stage and after flower clusters development. The potassium uptake was highest at the NewUOS followed by UOS and Yamazaki nutrient solution. At six months after -planting fresh weight and dry weight of shoot and root were higher in UOS and NewUOS nutrient solution than other nutrient solutions, and the dry matter ratio was lower at 43.5% in Yamazaki nutrient solution and 30.6% in NewUOS nutrient solution than other solutions. Length, width, weight, and sugar content of the strawberries harvested from December to February were unaffected by treatment, but yield was higher in NewUOS nutrient solution due to increasing fruit number and average weight. From March to May, number of fruit was higher in Yamazaki nutrient solution. In conclusion, there was no difference in the growth of 'Maehyang' when 5 nutrient solutions were grown under hydroponics. But in order to improve the marketability, the NewUOS nutrient solution is appropriate to use from planting to February and it is suitable to use Yamazaki nutrient solution after March when temperature is high and the amount of fruit set per inflorescence.

Addition of carbon and nitrogen source to an alcohol distillery wastewater was tried to increase the cell concentration of a b baker's yeast cultivated in that wastewater. Carbon was found to be primary limiting nutrient and nitrogen secondary limiting o one. Glucose addition increased the cell concentration 1.3 times higher than no addition, and both glucose and $(NH_4)_2S0_4$ a addition did 5.8 times. A fed-batch cultivation by the automatic addition of glucose and ammonium was executed. Added g glu$\infty$se was automatically controlled to low concentration by a method using DO as control parameter. Ammonium was a automatically added as NH40H used as pH $\infty$ntrol agent after initiating glucose addition. By this simple cultivation method t the cell concentration $\infty$내d be efficiently increased from 2.6g/L to 12.0g/L, and maximum specific growth rate and biomass y yield to glu$\infty$se were $0.18hr^{-1}$ and about 0.54g/g respectively. By increasing cell concentration, COD of the wastewater m media could be additionally reduced by about 22%.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ on pH of the nutrient solution using municipal tap water during hydroponic culture of crisp lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. capitata) seedlings. The composition of starter solution was different from that of supplementary solution. The pH in the nutrient solution was suddenly declined and recovered as the supplementary solution was supplied. The pH of nutrient solution was increased with high temperature and, on the contrary, the EC of nutrient solution was decreased. It shows that plant absorbed nutrients more than water in given solution when the temperature and light was high. After supplying supplementary solution in 1st and End experiment, pH was slowly increased to 7 in NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 0.25me/$\ell$, but maintained 6.4-6.5 in NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 3me/$\ell$ and 6me/$\ell$. In 3rd experiment, pH was slowly increased from 6.7 to 7.4 in NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 0.25me/$\ell$, but decreased from 6-6.5 to 5-5.5 in NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ 3me/$\ell$ and 6me/$\ell$. So it is suggested that the concentration between 0.25 me/$\ell$ and 3 me/$\ell$ by concentration base or the amount of NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ between 1me/6 $\ell$ and 7me/6 $\ell$ by total quantity in solution is appropriate for stabilizing pH in the nutrient solution. Also this experiment suggests that hand operated measurements must be cautious due to the change of pH and EC within a 24-hour cycle.

The effectiveness of physiological or chemical acid - alkali solution was investigated as the method to control pH value of nutrient solution in hydroponics dynamically. Lettuces were cultivated using NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ as physiological acid and NaNO$_3$ as physiological alkali or H$_2$SO$_4$ as chemical acid in dynamic control system. The pH of nutrient solution was controlled satisfactorily in the range of pH 5.5-6.5, regardless of treatments. Chemical acid changed pH of solution faster than chemical acid when supplied to the nutrient solution. Any of them did not show any harmful symptom. It is recommended that chemical acid is preferred during the growing stage and physiological acid like as NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ is preferred from several days before harvest stage.

Methylobacillus sp. SK1, an obligate methylotroph, was cultivated in a fed-batch culture using DO as a methanol feeding indicator with a micro computer-aided control system. While 2.07g/l of cell density was obtained after 13 hr in the batch culture (initial methanol concentration: 1.0%(v/v)),45.3g/l of cell density was obtained after 17 hr by feeding methanol and metal ions in the fed-batch culture with oxygen supply. The high-density biomass was obtained in short cultuivation time by fed-batch culture with feedback control, and consequently the biomass productivity was significantly increased. It was mainly due to extension of logarithmic growth period by methanol feeding without methanol inhibition and intensive aeration without DO limitation with microcomputer-aided control system.

양액재배에서는 토양재배와는 달리 $CO_2$ 농도의 급격한 감소가 나타나게 된다. 또한 엽채류는 질소 공급원에 대한 생육 반응이 민감하며, 그 양상도 다양하게 나타므로 배양액의 NO$_3$ : NH$_4$ 비는 작물의 생육, 수량, 품질 등에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 실험은 결구상추의 수경재배에서 $CO_2$시용에 따른 질소동화 촉진작용을 검토하고, 배양액 내 질소원의 형태별 비율이 작물생육에 미치는 영향을 구명하여, 결구 상추의 생산성을 극대화하고자 실시하였다. (중략)
