Characteristics of $CO_2$ fixation by Chlorella sp. HA -1 against NO and $SO_2$ were investigated. Culture pH in nitric oxide gas remained stable indicating that nitric oxide was not likely to be a problem for growth, while $SO_2$ could inhibit the cell growth because of pH drop. Chiarella sp. HA -1 containing 10% $CO_2$ from stack gas can be tolerant to 100 ppm nitric oxide and 100 ppm sulfuric oxide through pH control.

유기칠 폐기물을 보다 효율적으로 처리하고자, 상 분리 혐기발효와 Chiorella 배양에 의한 생우분의 4 단계-복합처리를 시도하였다. 3배 희석 생우분을 6 일간 산발효시킨 발효액을 4 일의 수리학적 체류시 간으로 1차 에탄발효조에 공급했을 때, 평균 977ml/l C비ture/day의 바이오가스가 생산되었고, 1차 발효 폐액을 역시 4일의 체류시간으로 2차 메탄발효조에 공급했을 때 평균 428ml/l culture/day의 바이오 가스가 생산되었다. 1차 메탄발효의 바이오가스 생 산성은 재래의 단일조식과 비교했을 때 31.4% 증가 되었다. 또한 산발효과정, 1차 및 2차 에탄발효과정 의 유기물 제거율은 각기 71.8%, 42.6% 그리고 2 24.0%였다. 한편, 2차 메탄발효폐액은 Chiarella s sp. PSH3에 의해 10일의 체류시간으로 반연속배양 처리한 결과, 평균 1.8g/l culture/day(2.8$\times$106 cells/ml)의 조체가 생산되었고, 이 과정의 유기물 제거율은 73%였다. 이상의 4단계 처리과정을 통하 여 초발원료인 3배 희석 생우분의 COD가 51, 300ppm에서 최종단계인 Chiarella의 처리에 의해 평균 85ppm으로 감소되어 총유기물 제거율이 99.8 %에 달하였다. 이들의 결과는 유기질 폐기물의 효 율적 처리와 더불어 바이오가스와 균체단백질을 생산하는 복합처리계의 구성이 가능함을 나타낸다.

The effect of Chlorella vulgaris (CV) on the urinary excretion of di-ortho PCB congeners (PCB-138, -153) was investigated. Sprague-Dawley rats (6-weeks-old, n=10 rats/group) were randomly divided into one control (0CV) or 2% CV (2CV) or 5% CV (5CV) or 10% CV (10CV) groups, respectively. Composition of normal and chlorella meal-based diet were made up of 30% casein, 15% cornstarch, 50% sucrose, 5% cellulose, 5% coconut oil, 3.5% mineral mixture, 1 % vitamin mixture. All rats had free access to water and diet for 4 weeks. A significant increase in both PCB 138 and 153 in urinary level was detected in CV fed groups, 540% and 167% for 2CV, 155% and 89% for 5CV, 114% and 144% for 10CV group, respectively, when compared with their controls. These findings suggest that CV may have potential to eliminate body burden levels of dioxin-like PCB compounds.

This study was performed to investigate effects of Chiarella vulgaris on lipid metabolism in rats fed high fat diet. Sixty 6-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into two groups; normal diet group and high fat diet group, then the rats in each group were further divided into three subgroups and fed 0%, 5% and 10% (w/w) chlorella-containing diets, respectively, and raised for 9 weeks, Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity and total protein and albumin concentration were not different among groups. Serum total lipids and liver TG concentration were significantly lower in 5% and 10% chlorella groups than 0% chlorella group in high fat diet groups (p<0.05). Serum TG, serum total cholesterol, liver total lipid and liver total cholesterol concentrations were significantly lower in 10% chlorella groups than 0% chlorella group in high fat diet groups (p<0.05). Fecal total lipid, TG and total cholesterol excretions were significantly higher in 5% and 10% chlorella groups than 0% chlorella groups in normal diet and high fat diet groups, respectively (p<0.05). These results suggest that Chlorella vulgaris is effective for prevention of dyslipidemia which may be due to the modulation of lipid metabolism and increased fecal excretion of lipid.
