인공아가미기술은 수중에서 용존산소를 분리하여 호흡에 사용하는 것을 말한다. 이를 위해 아가미의 특성을 분석하고 현재까지 제시되고 있는 용존산소의 분리를 위한 메커니즘 특성을 기술하였다. 즉 압력 강하, 캐리어 용액, plastron의 관점에서 용존산소를 분리하여 수중 호흡에 사용하는 부분에 대해 소개하였다. 또한, 현재 진행 중인 용존산소 분리실험장치를 이용한 수중 용존산소의 감소특성을 제시하였다. 압력을 감소함에 따라 용존산소량이 비례하여 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 중공사막에 공급되는 유량을 증가시키면 용존산소량의 감소가 둔화되는 특성을 나타낸다. 휴대형 인공아가미기술은 물놀이와 관련된 레저활동의 안전도구로 활용이 가능하고, 스쿠버다이버, 마이크로연료전지, 인공부레, 잠수함 그리고 인공 폐 분야에 사용이 기대된다.

The results of residual currents simulation by a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model showed the water volume transport and the residence time to be about 4km³ per tidal cycle and about 6 years through the line of latitude, 34° 25' N in the Yellow Sea, and to be about 13km³ per tidal cycle and about 2.5 years through the southeastern boundary line of the Yellow Sea, respectively. On the bases of the entire seawater volume of the Yellow Sea and dissolved oxygen (DO) in summer, the environmental capacity of the Yellow Sea for reception of the maximum pollution load without reducing DO concentration below 5.0mg/ℓ in seawater may be estimated to be about 58×10/sup 6/tons of chemical oxygen demand (COD), which is equivalent to the load about 8 times as high as the annual organic pollution load from 14 major rivers. On the bases of DO transports by residual currents calculated on the line of 34° 25' N latitude and on the southeastern boundary line of the Yellow Sea being about 57×10³tons and about 203×10³tons of DO per day, respectively, the environmental capacities of the Yellow Sea for reception of the maximum pollution loads without reducing DO concentration in seawater nay be equivalent to COD loads about 3 times and 10 times, respectively, as high as the existing organic pollution loads from 14 major rivers.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) refers to the volume of oxygen that is contained in water, and is a major indicator of water quality. The objective of this paper was to investigate the effect of salinity on the dissolved oxygen characteristics in an ejector-aerator. An experimental aeration system composed of a motor-pump, an ejector, a motor-blower, a set of aeration and recirculation tank and a control panel. The dissolved oxygen concentrations decreased with the water salinity. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing the water salinity.

유기유기물 증가원인의 파악과 근본적인 대책에 대한 연구의 일환으로 부영양화된 연안해역에 대하여 태풍 발생 전후의 수질변동에 대하여 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 용존산소 포화도는 수온과 염분 약층이 형성된 시기에 저층에서 54% 이하로 관측되었다. 태풍이 지나간 직후에는 표층과 저층에서 거의 비슷한 용존산소 포화도$(78{\sim}88%)$가 조사되었다. 그리고, 태풍이 지나간 3일 후 식물플랑크톤이 대량으로 증식한 표층에서 용존산소 포화도가 234%로 아주 높은 값이 관측되었고, 저층(5m)에서도 90%가 조사되어, 태풍과 식물플랑크톤의 이상 증식이 저층의 용존산소 포화도를 높이는 작용을 한 것으로 보인다. 2) 염분이 가장 낮았던 시기에 표층에서 $NA_4-N$, $NO_3-N$, $SiO_2-Si$의 농도가 각각 18.22, 38.90, 52.10uM로 아주 높게 조사되었으며, $NH4-N$, $PO_4-P$, $SiO_2-Si$는 용존산소가 낮은 저층에서도 높게 나타났다. 3) 클로로필은 최고 $311.0{\mu}g/L$가 태풍 후에 관측되었으며, 그 원인 생물은 Scrippsiella trochoidea (42,000cells/mL)였다. 조류성장잠재능력은 태풍발생 후에 아주 높게 조사되었으며, 항상 질소가 부족한 것으로 조사되었다. 4) 화학적 산소요구량은 최고 10.55 mg/L였으며, 태풍으로 저층 퇴적물로부터 부유되는 유기 오탁 물질이 화학적 산소요구량 증가에 미치는 기여도는 크지 않은 것으로 보이며, 화학적 산소요구량 증가의 대부분이 식물플랑크톤의 증식에 기인한 것($r^2=0.612$, p<0.0001)으로 조사되었다.

양액재배에 있어서 배양액 중에 있는 질소, 칼륨, 인, 칼슘, 마그네슘 등 식물 영양성분의 함유량을 항상 알맞게 유지시키는 일은 매우 중요하다. 아울러, 양액의 산도(pH)와 용존산소량(dissolved oxygen;DO)도 식물 생장에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 적절히 유지하지 않으면 안된다. 양액의 상태를 항상 작물 생육에 알맞게 유시키기 위해서는 먼저 양액의 조성과 관계가 있는 물리량을 정확히 측정할 필요가 있다. 특히 양액관리를 자동화하기 위해서는 정확도와 함께 신속하고도 간편한 측정방법이 필요하다. 양액 상태에 관한 주요 측정항목에는 전기전도도(electric conductivity : EC), 산도(pH), 용존산소량(DO)이 있다.

Environmental changes can affect life-history traits, such as growth rate and reproduction, and organisms adapt on a given environmental condition to maximize ecological fitness. This study shows the effects of water temperature and dissolved oxygen level on early growth and accumulated damage in fish using a dynamic-state-dependent model. I have hypothesized that the level of foraging activity is related to growth and stress and so the optimal level can maximize reproductive success - ultimately, fitness. The critical temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) is also defined as inducing the maximum growth rate at the level. So, the model predicts the highest growth rate at oxygen saturation and lower growth rate at lower or higher level of DO in water. Lower DO (i.e., hypoxia) causes slower growth rate through higher amount of accumulated stress whereas higher DO (i.e., hyperoxia) induces faster growth rate, but smaller body size. In addition, I show that there is lower impact when considering simple or independent environmental factors on environmental assessment. My findings suggest that multiple environmental factors as physiological ecology approach should be considered to improve impact assessment in environmental changes and a further study is needed to develop advanced assessment tools considering multiple environmental factors.

It's possible for a human to breathe under water, but the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is small and a large amount of water is necessary to obtain sufficient dissolved oxygen from water. So, large separation system with large water pumps, having large surface areas, and large battery sources are needed. Exhalation gases are used to solve this problem. Theses gases contain some oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide; they contain less oxygen and more carbon dioxide compared to air. Therefore, reduction of the amount of carbon dioxide is necessary. If exhalation gases are employed appropriately, the separation device can be made more compact. Inlet water mixed with exhalation gases is supplied into the separation device, and dissolved gases are separated from the mixed water as it passes through the device. The inlet part of a typical separation system with a water delivery pump before the membrane module has more than one atmosphere. Hence, a compressor is used to mix the exhalation gases. In this study, the pressure at the inlet due to the use of a suction pump after the membrane module was less than one atmosphere; hence, compressors were not required. Separation characteristics were studied using a separation device without a compressor. The use of exhalation gases led to an increase in the amount of dissolved gases being separated. As the amount of inlet exhalation gases was increased, the separation of dissolved gases was increased as well.

The effect of dissolved oxygen(DO) on microbial transglutaminase(mTG) production by Streptoverticillium morbaraense was studied in on-line computer controlled fermentation system. In order to control dissolved oxygen during fermentation, the agitation speed and aeration rate of 2.5 L fermenter ranged from 260 to 360 rpm and 0.3 to 3.9 L/min, respectively. The maximum microbial transglutaminase production was obtained at controlled 20% of dissolved oxygen among the various dissolved oxygen controlled batch cultures tested. The production of microbial transglutaminase at controlled 20% of dissolved oxygen was about 2.12 U/mL which was 1.1 times higher than that obtained in batch culture without control of dissolved oxygen. Also, the highest microbial transglutaminase production was obtained in fed-batch cultures in which dissolved oxygen was controlled at 20%, and it was improved almost 1.3 times in comparison with that without control of dissolved oxygen. Maximal dry cell weight and microbial transglutaminase production were 13.2 g/L and 2.6 U/mL, respectively. Finally, it was also found that fed-batch fermentation at controlled 20% of dissolved oxygen showed a good performance for the microbial transglutaminase production by on-line computer controlled fermentation system which may be generally applicable to other microbial cultures.

The effects of dissolved oxygen and pH on the cell growth and mass production of high-molecular weight pullulan by A. pullulans ATCC 42023 were evaluated. For the production of commercially useful pullulan with high-molecular weight, the influence of pH control on the pullulan production and growth of A. pullulans was studied in batch fermentation. It was found that the productivity of high-molecular weight pullulan with pH control at 6.5 was higher than that with no pH control. The influence of dissolved oxygen on the pullulan production and growth was studied. It was found that pullulan yield and synthesis rate increased with oxygen availability.
