최근, 미세조류에 대한 생물공학적 관심이 급격히 증가하고 있으며 이의 응용범위는 식품이나 제약, 화장품 등 다양한 구도로 확장되어지고 있다. 고농도의 미세조류 배양을 위해서는 빛이 핵심적 제한요소로 작용되어지며 빛의 투과 깊이나 강도에 따라 균체의 성장속도가 결정되어지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 빛의 투과경로와 빛을 받는 면적/배양액의 부피 비율, 조도 그리고 단계적 조사에 따른 Chlorella sp.의 성장률을 조사하여 빛이 미세조류에 미치는 영향을 알아보았으며, 본 연구에 적용된 값들 중 4 cm의 직경, 57.6%의 면적/부피 비율, 62 $\mu$mo1/$m^2$/s의 조도에서 Chlorella sp. 성장에 필요한 빛 에너지를 가장 효율적으로 이용함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Masan-Jinhae Bay, in Korea, is known for its frequent algal bloom outbreaks. This study was conducted in order to examine the environmental characteristics of the area, with the aim of identifying indicators that could be used to speculate about future algal blooms. The water temperatures and salinities in Haengam Bay, one of the small inner bays within Jinhae, appeared to re relatively higher than those in Masan and Jinhae bays, across most seasons. Furthermore, stratification begins to develop in all three regions from spring to summer as a result of the local heating effects and an increase in the efficient from the surrounding land. As a result, anoxic conditions appear near the bottom layer of the bay, leading to the deterioration of water quality, which has been identified as one of the causes of bloom outbreaks. Compared to Haengam and Jinhae bays, concentrations of DIN and DIP were remarkably higher in Masan Bay. However, the mean ratio of DIN to DIP was 3.3$\sim$13.6 in all three regions throughout the year, suggesting that nitrogen can function as a growth-limiting factor for phytoplankton. The results of mathematical models showed that cumulative organic pollutants may be a trigger for direct algal bloom occurrences, since residual tidal currents appeared to be less than $3\;cm\;\cdot\;s^{-1}$. Furthermore, computed DO concentrations in the four small inner bays of Jinhae during the summer appeared to be $3\;cm\;\cdot\;l^{-1}$ indicating a hypoxic state. Likewise, computed Chl-a concentrations turned out to be more than $0.01\;mg\;\cdot\;l^{-1}$, indicating eutrophication across most seasons. Based on the overall results, Masan-Jinhae Bay appeared to possess a very high potential for algal bloom outbreaks at anytime during the year.

Water quality data of 81 lakes in Korea, 2013 ~ 2017 were analyzed. Most water quality parameters showed left-skewed distribution, while dissolved oxygen showed normal distribution. pH and dissolved oxygen showed a positive correlation with organic matter and nutrients, which appeared to be a nonsense correlation mediated by the algae. The ratio of $BOD_5$ and $COD_{Mn}$ to CBOD was 21 % and 52 % in the freshwater lakes, respectively. TOC concentration appeared to be underestimated by the UV digestion method, when salinity exceeds $700{\mu}S\;cm^{-1}$. In terms of nitrogen/phosphorus ratio, the limiting factor for algal growth seemed to be phosphorus in most of the lakes. Chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ increased acutely with decrease of N/P ratio. However, it seemed to be a nonsense correlation mediated by phosphorus concentration, since the N/P ratio depended on phosphorus. The N/P ratio of brackish lakes was lower than that of the freshwater, at the same concentration of phosphorus. It is worth examining denitrification that occurs, in bottom layer and sediment, during saline stratification. $Chl.{\alpha}$ concentration decreased in the form of a power function with increase of mean depth. The primary reason is that deep lakes are mainly at the less-disturbed upstream. However, it is necessary to investigate the effect of sediment, on water quality in shallow lakes. Light attenuation in the upper layer, was dominated by tripton (non-algal suspended solids) absorption/scattering (average relative contribution of 39 %), followed by CDOM (colored dissolved organic matter) (average 37 %) and $Chl.{\alpha}$ (average 21 %).

Algal blooms in lakes are one of major environmental issues in Korea. A three-dimensional, hydrodynamic and water quality model was developed and tested in Lake Euiam to assess the performance and limitations of numerical modeling with multiple algal groups using field data commonly collected for algal management. In this study, EFDC was adopted as the basic model framework. Simulated vertical profiles of water temperature, dissolved oxygen and nutrients monitored at five water quality monitoring stations from March to October 2013, which are closely related to algal dynamics simulation, showed good agreement with those of observed data. The overall spatio-temporal variations of three algal groups were reasonably simulated against the chlorophyll-a levels of those estimated from the limited monitoring data (chlorophyll-a level and cell numbers of algal species) with the RMSEs ranging from 2.6 to $17.5mg/m^3$. Also, note that $PO_4-P$ level in the water column was a key limiting factor controlling the growth of three algal groups during most of simulation period. However, the algal modeling results were not fully attainable to the levels of observation during short periods of time showing abrupt increase in algae throughout the lake. In particular, the green algae/cyanobacteria and diatom simulations were underestimated in late June to early July and early October, respectively. The results shows that better understanding of internal algal processes, neglected in most algal modeling studies, is necessary to predict the sudden algal blooms more accurately because the concentrations of external $PO_4-P$ and specific algal groups originated from the tributaries (mainly, dam water releases) during the periods were too low to fully capture the sharp rise of internal algal levels. In this respect, this study suggests that future modeling efforts should be focused on the quantification of internal cycling processes including vertical movement of algal species with respect to changes in environmental conditions to enhance the modeling performance on complex algal dynamics.

An abnormal mono-specific bloom of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa had developed at a specific location (transitional zone, monitoring station of Hoenam) in Daecheong Reservoir from middle of July to early August, 2001. The maximum cell counts during the peak bloom reached 1,477,500 cells/mL, which was more than 6~10 times greater than those at other monitoring sites. The hypothesis of this study is that the timing and location of the algal bloom was highly correlated with the local environmental niche that was controled by physical processes such as hydrodynamic mixing and pollutant transport in the reservoir. A three-dimensional, coupled hydrodynamic and ecological model, ELCOM-CAEDYM, was applied to the period of development and subsequent decline of the bloom. The model was calibrated against observed water temperature profiles and water quality variables for different locations, and applied to reproduce the algal bloom event and justify the limiting factor that controled the Microcystis bloom at R3. The simulation results supported the hypothesis that the phosphorus loading induced from a contaminated tributary during several runoff events are closely related to the rapid growth of Microcystis during the period of bloom. Also the physical environments of the reservoir such as a strong thermal stratification and weak wind velocity conditions provided competitive advantage to Microcystis given its light adaptation capability. The results show how the ELCOM-CAEDYM captures the complex interactions between the hydrodynamic and biogeochemical processes, and the local environmental niche that is preferable for cyanobacterial species growth.

This study analyzed the distribution, diversity, and density variation of algal clusters in a freshwater reservoir from an oceanic island and a traditional inland water system to gain insights on future marine freshwater resource management. In the Paldang water system (Han River), despite the upstream Paldang Dam and the downstream Jamsil underwater reservoir being in the same meteorological zone, their algae density patterns varied inversely. The distinct algal cluster structure (diversity/dominance) of Paldang was altered in the downstream reservoir, suggesting that physical devices aid algae management in traditional water systems. In contrast, 24 out of 35 genera (63.2%) identified in the Jeolgol Reservoir (Baeknyeong Island) were unique, lacking regulatory mechanisms, and existing in a complex ecotone. The desmid Chlorophyceae Cosmarium, adapted to higher photosynthetic stress and low temperatures, dominated in January (38.04%) and August (86.45%) during the periods of extreme photosynthetic stress. Jeolgol's annual algal cluster structure (H' 2.097; D 0.259; S' 35) demonstrated higher stability than Paldang (H' 1.125; D 0.448; S' 13) and the Jamsil underwater reservoir (H' 1.078; D 0.469; S' 12), maintaining an H' above 1.5 even during midwinters. No evidence of TN/TP inflow from surrounding soils was observed, even during torrential rainfalls, with phosphorus being the limiting factor for algal growth. TOC, BOD, chlorophyll-a, and turbidity peaked during Cosmarium bloom. Future climate change is expected to cause fluctuations in algal clusters and related water quality factors. The complex transitional nature of the Jeolgol Reservoir, its algal diversity, and the interspecies interactions contribute to the high stability of its algal community.

본 연구는 금강의 조류 성장에 대한 제한영양소와 수질에 영향을 미치는 주요 지류를 파악하고 수질개선을 위한 관리대안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 금강 대청댐 하류에 위치한 5개 수질측정소에서 약 8년간(2013~202) 환경부의 물환경정보시스템(water.nier.go.kr)과 수자원관리정보시스템(wamis.go.kr)에서 14개의 수질항목의 자료를 분석하였다. 금강의 4대강 수중보 수문 개방 시 TP(총인)와 수온은 하천 하류의 조류 성장에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에는 수질변수간의 상관관계를 규명하고 금강의 조류 성장에 영향을 미치는 중요인자를 파악하고자 하였다. 최하류에 위치한 백제보수질측정소(WQ5)에서 TP와 수온은 Chl-a와 특별히 높은 상관관계를 보여 조류 번식에 상당한 영향을 미친다는 것을 나타냈다. 또한 본 연구에서는 금강의 양대 지류인 갑천과 미호천의 주요 오염원을 식별하고 우선순위를 지정하기 위해 주성분분석(Principal Component Analysis, PCA) 방법을 이 적용하였다. PCA방법을 이용하여 갑천과 미호천의 수질에 영얗ㅇ을 미치는 3대 오염원을 각각 파악하였다. 갑천의 경우 폐수처리장과 도시·농업 오염이 주요 오염원으로, 미호천의 경우 농지, 도시, 산림이 주요 오염원으로 각각 확인되었다. PCA는 금강 및 그 지류의 수질오염원을 구체적으로 파악하는 데 효과적인 것으로 판단되어 수질관리 전략의 효율을 제고하는 데에, 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The abundance and community structure of epilithic diatoms grown on different substrata were investigated in two first-order streams located in a limestone and granite area, north of the Suzuka Mountains in Central Japan. Experiments were conducted as follows: limestone and granite without algae were submerged in their own streambed or another stream station and incubated for seven weeks, while limestone and granite with algae were transferred to another stream station and incubated at the same time. The diatom biomass was consistently high in the lime-stone station experiments compared to those at the granite station. In addition, there was more diatom biomass on granite substrata than on the limestone substrata at both stations. The present results suggested that the difference in water chemistry including the major nutrient concentrations was the limiting factor for algal growth in these two streams; however, when the water chemistry was the same in each stream, the difference in substratum characteristics became the important factor affecting the diatom abundance. The diatom community grown on the transferred substrata with and without algae became similar to those grown on the original substrata in each stream during the incubation period. It was suggested that the effect of the substrata characteristics on the diatom community structure was rather small.

1980년대 이래로 Biwa호 북측 지역 연안대에서 초여름 동안 Spjrozyra에 의해 조성된 저서 사상성 부착녹조류 군집의 발달이 관찰되어 왔다. 이들의 발달은 초여름 저서 조류 군집의 생물량 증가와 생물량의 계적적 변동 양상에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 Spjrozyra 군집 발달의 원인을 1963-64년, 1995-96년, 2001-02년 동안 수행된 연구 결과(특히,영양염,$NO_3^--N$)에기초하여 고찰하였다. 6월 동안의 $NO_3^--N$의 농도는 1964년 6월에 $20{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$에 비교할 때 1995년과 2002년은 $100{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ 이상이었다. 이 결과는 $NO_3^--N$가 1963년도에 Spjrogyra 성장에 대해 제한요인으로 작용하였음을 시사한다. Biwa호 북측 지역 개방수역에서 $NO_3^--N$의 농도는 1950년대이후 유역에서의 인구증가와 경제성장의 영향으로 뚜렷하게 증가하였다. 따라서 Biwa호에서 Spjrogyra 군집의 발달은 인간활동에 의한 영양염 공급의 증가의 결과로 추정된다.

우리나라 4대강 사업에 의해 건설된 낙동강의 달성보와 함안보, 금강의 세종보와 백제보, 영산강의 송촌보와 죽산보를 대상으로 3차원 수리-수질모델을 이용하여 가동보 운영에 따른 수질 및 녹조 현상 예측 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 가동보를 전면 개방하였을 때, 금강과 영산강에서는 상류에 위치한 세종보와 승촌보에서 연중 및 하절기 Chl-a 농도와 남조류 농도가 감소되는 것으로 예측되었으나, 하류에 위치하는 백제보와 죽산보에서는 하절기에 모두 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 금강과 영산강에서 수문이 닫힌 경우, 상류에서는 체류시간이 증가하여 조류가 성장에 필요한 용존성 무기인을 충분히 섭취하면서 조류 농도가 증가하지만, 하류에서는 용존성 무기인이 고갈되어 상대적으로 조류의 성장이 제한되는 현상이 발생하는 것으로 분석된다. 반면 낙동강의 달성보 및 함안보에서는 연평균과 하절기 평균 농도가 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 낙동강에서는 금강과 영산강과 같이 용존성 무기인의 농도가 심각하게 증가하지 않은 반면 수문 개방으로 수심이 감소함에 따라 조류가 이용하는 평균 광량이 증가하면서, 조류의 성장이 증가한 것으로 분석된다. 결과적으로 수문을 전면 개방 또는 폐쇄하였을 경우, 녹조현상 발생 특성은 위치에 따라 수리학적 체류시간, 용존성 무기인 농도 및 수위변화에 따른 광량의 변화 등에 의해 서로 다르게 나타나는 것으로 분석된다.
