The nitrogen assimilation rate of nitrogenous nutrients by reservior phytoplankton was masured in the in situ condition in the euphotic layer of Lakes Soyang, Chuncheon and Uiam located on the upper reaches of the North Han River System in August, 1983, Korea. The assimilation rate of ammonia, nitrate and urea nitrogen in surface water was 13, 2 and $13{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:10~18:15)^{-1}$ in Lake Soyang, 325, 27 and $59{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:30~18:30)^{-1}$ in Lake Chuncheon, and 174, 12 and $45{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:30~19:30)^{-1}$ in Lake Uiam. Ammonia and urea were perferntially utilized by reservoir phytoplankton. The dark/light ratios of nitrate assimilation were much lower than those of ammonia and urea assimilation of nitrate showed little contribution. The primary productuin was estimated as 59mg $C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 6.9mg $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Spyang, 217mg C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 26mg N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Chuncheon, and 110mg C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 13mg N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Uiam, with production ratios of 8.6, 8.4 and 8,4, respectively. The turnover time o ammonia and urea in the upper euphotic layer was 2 to 47 days and 4 to 38 days, respectively. Nitrate required much longer periods. In the euphotic layer of reservoirs, ammonia and urea played signigicant roles in the biogeoKDICical nitrogen metabolism.

In order to detect the way of absorption and metaboism of the urea it is sprayed on the surface of the leaves of sunflower. The sunflowers used in this study are grown in different conditions such that the one in nittogen aboundant and the other in nitrogen deficient soil, respectively. The urea-N, ammonia-N, amide-N, and 80% alcohol soluble-N in the leaves were quantitatively determined. All of the nitrogenous components measured are generally tended to increased with rising the concentration of urea except only amide-N at 24 hours after sprayed, and these were highly significances. It seemed that hydrolizing of urea into ammonia and carbon dixide and the assimilation of ammonia into other organic nitrogenous constituents were rapid in the young leaves than in the mature. It is interest that the amide content, in the young leaves and nitrogen defieient one were enhanced with the increasing concentration of urea, although in the mature leaves it did not show any change in the urea treatment. It is presumed that the assimilation rate of ammonia and the urease activity were lower in the matture leaves than in the young and nitrogen deficient leaves. No significance at 5% level showed all of the nitrogenous components except total nitrogen between nitrogen abundant and deficent leaves. Urea content was a high peak at first 12 hours, ammonia at 48 hours, and amide and alcohol soluble nitrogen at 96 hours, whence decrease4d the content of these constituents gradually. The total nitrogen content is not incrased obviously by only one time of urea spray in this study. When the concentration of urea was relatively high there appeared the wilting spots on t도 edge of leaves. As a whole, it seemed that sprayed urea was rapidly absorbed and taken part in nitrogen metabolism within relatively short period.

Optimum temperature and pH of glutamine synthetase activity (E.C. 3.6.1.2.) of R. sphaeroides D-230 was $35^{\circ}C$ and 6.8, respectively. The adenylated state of GS in R. sphaeroides D-230 was stabilized by addition of 0.2mg/ml of cethyltrimethylammoniumbromide. Valine, histidine, proline, isoleucine, and lysine were good nitrogen source for the growth of R. sphaeroides D-230. The growth of R. sphaeroides D-230 in $N_2,\;NaNO_3\;or\;NH_4Cl$ as sole nitrogen source was lower than in any otherculture conditions. GS activity was inhibited, more or less, by various amino acid. THe relative inhibition rate of the enzyme by added 7mM arginine, $NH_4Cl,\;N_2,\;and\;NaNO_3$ was 63.8%, 26.79%, 6.24%, and 10.64%, drespectively. THe hydrogen evolution of R. sphaeroides D-230 grown in N-limited media was inhibited by 0.1mM MSX, irreversible GS inhibitor. GS activity was completely inhibited by 1.0mM MSX but ammonia released maximally at the same concentration of MSX. Ammonia release by added MSX was increased up to 1.0mM MS, but decreased above 1.0mM MSX. It is probably due to inhibition of nitrogenase actixity by MSX. Nitrogenase activity was not inhibited at low concentration of MSX. These results suggests that the inhibition of nitrogenase activity by ammonia is mediated by products of ammonia assimilation rather than by ammonia itself.

The effect of nitrate, nitrite and ammonia as inorganic nitrogen sources on the modulation of nitrogen metabolism of Botryococcus braunii UTEX.-572 has been studied under aeration. The primary process in the regulation of nitrogen metabolism by this alga has the nitrate uptake system. This uptake of nitrate operation was immediately inhibited by the presence of 0.5 mM of ammonium and reversed by 0.2∼0.3 mM ammonium. When cell were exposed to 5 mM of ammonium for 24 hours the activity of nitrate reductase became inactive.

RABC 처리 공정을 사용하여 고농도 식품폐수를 처리할 때 악취가 적게 발생하는 기작을 밝히기 위하여, RABC 공정으로 부터 암모니아성 악취의 제거능이 우수한 세균을 분리하고 이의 특성 및 제거능을 평가하였다. 분리된 암모니아 제거 세균 중 제거능이 뛰어난 것으로 밝혀진 5종의 세균은 각각 Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Buttiauxella, Shigella, Aeromonas 속에 속하는 세균과 분류학적으로 가장 근접하였으며, 이들 세균은 모두 동물의 내장에서 발견된 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 분리된 세균은 폐수 처리시설에 유입된 돼지의 도축 부산물에서 유래한 것으로 판단된다. 암모니아 제거과정에서 아질산염 또는 질산염이 발생하지 않는 것으로 보아, 분리된 세균은 암모니아 동화과정을 통해 폐수 중 암모니아의 농도를 저감시키는 것으로 판단된다. 분리된 세균의 암모니아 제거능이 매우 뛰어난 것으로 측정되었으며, 이러한 결과로 판단할 때 이들이 RABC 폐수 처리 공정의 악취 제거에 중요한 기여를 하고 있는 것으로 보인다.

In order to understand the regulation of glutamate dehydrogenase(GDH) synthesis in Brevibacterium flavum, we have isolated a mutant lacking NADP-linked GDH activity by ethlmethane sulfonate treatment. The $gdh^-$ mutant was grown on the minimal plate with 1mM ammonium chloride and not that with 300mM ammonium chloride. The cell-free extracts from $gdh^-$ mutant and prototroph were also examined with glutamine synthetase(GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT) production by niteogen sources. The growth of $gdh^-$ mutant in presence of 20mM ammonium chloride means that GOGAT synthesis is sufficient to allow growth in this condition. GS production of $gdh^-$ mutant as well as parental strain was induced by 1mM urea and ammonium tartrate, but it was repressed by higher concentration of ammonia, and also induced by 20mM to 50mM glutamate as a substrate. It was special attention that GOGAT synthesis from $gdh^-$ strain was more repressed by higher concentration of ammonia than prototroph as described in E. coli system.

광합성 세균인 Rhodopsedomonas sphaeroides의 질소 고정 효소 활성에 미치는 암모니아와 glutamine의 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 RP. sphaeroides의 질소 고정 효소 활성은 암모니아와 glutamine에 의해 저해를 받았으며, 이들의 저해는 암모니아와 glutamine이 다 사용된 후에는 질소 고정 효소의 활성이 되살아나는 가역적인 반응이었다. glutamine synthetase의 활성을 비가역적으로 저해하는 methionine sulfoximine (MSX)를 사용하여 암모니아와 glutamine이 직접 질소 고정 효소의 활성을 저해하는지를 일아보았다. 암모니아에 의한 질소 고정 효소의 switch-off에 미치는 MSX의 영향은 균의 배양 시기에 의존함을 알 수 있었다 . 12시간 배양한 경우, $500{\mu}M$ NH,Cl에 의해 질소 고정 효소는 저해를 받았으며, $500{\mu}M$의 MSX를 주가로 처리하였을 경우, GS는 21% 저해를 받았으며, 이때 유리된 암모니아의 량은 감소하였고, 질소 고정 효소의 활성은 회복되지 않았다. 그러나 20시간 배양한 경우, $500{\mu}M$ NH,CI을 처리한 후 $100{\mu}M$ MSX플 첨가하면, GS의 활성은 완전히 저해되고, 유리된 암모니아의 량은 약간 증가하였으나 질소 고정 효소의 활성의 저해는 MSX에 의해 회복되었다. 따라서 Rp. sphaeroides의 경우, in vivo 상태에서 암모니아에 의한 질소 고정 효소의 활성 저해는 암모니아 자체에 의한 것이 아니라 암모니아 동화산물에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다.

Rumen bacterial amino acids in sheep on urea diet were monitored to assess a possible change in amino acid synthesis as a long term response to high rumen ammonia environment. A sheep was fed a semipurified diet with soybean meal, followed by a diet with urea as a main nitrogen source. Mixed rumen bacteria were harvested from ruminal fluid taken 3 h after feeding (twice in soybean meal feeding and 6 times in urea feeding) and fractionated as cell wall, proteins and protein-free cell supernatant of monitor amino acids in each fraction. Ruminal ammonia concentration at the sampling ranged from 5.7 to 39.5 mgN/dl. Cell wall and protein fractions of mixed rumen bacteria were stable in their amino acid composition regardless of nitrogen sources of diet and the feeding duration. However, protein-free cell supernatant fraction showed a higher alanine proportion with urea feeding (18.6 and 28.2 molar % of alanine for samples from sheep fed soybean meal and urea, respectively) and its duration (20.6 and 32.9 molar % for samples from sheep on urea diet for 1 and 65 days, respectively). Total free amino acid level of bacteria was depressed in the initial period of urea feeding but restored on 65th day of the feeding. These results suggest that an alanine synthesizing system may develop in rumen bacteria as urea feeding becomes longer.

This study presents physiological rates of oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion, feeding rates, O/N ratio and assimilation efficiency of the blood cockle, Scapharca subcrenata, determined from specimens collected in Yeoja bay on the south coast of Korea. Physiological parameters were measured monthly under static, laboratory controlled conditions with ambient conditions, and measurements were performed seasonally in order to estimate scope for growth and its probable sources of variation. Oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion rates have been increased as temperature increased with the highest value of August, 2008. Feeding rate was the highest during April whereas the lowest was during August which is a period of gametogenesis with minimum biomass of phytoplankton around sampling area. Assimilation efficiency was not significantly different seasonally and O/N ratio decreased during July to August. The scope for growth was negative during high temperature months(July to August), reflecting the high temperature and low feeding rate, and had its highest positive values during spring and autumn. Data on the physiological parameters and scope for growth of Scapharca subcrenata obtained in this study will be used to assess the carrying capacity for blood cockle cultivation.
