Monitoring data from agricultural reservoirs throughout the country were analyzed to evaluate the limiting factor fur algal growth and relationships between Chl-a, total phosphorus (TP), and total nitrogen (TN). Total 394 reservoirs ranging from below 500 ㎥ to over 50 million ㎥ in storage volume were monitored from 1990 to 2000 with respect to TP, W, Chl-a, and their annual mean values were used fur the analysis. Based on N/P ratio, the dominant limiting factor for algal growth was turned out to be phosphorus in agricultural reservoirs (about 83%). Therefore, the proper managements of phosphorus in the agricultural watershed appear to be crucial to prevent excessive on algal growth. The effects of phosphorus and nitrogen ware most eminent during the summer period. And the effect of nutrients on the algal biomass (Chl-a) development appeared to be greater in smaller the reservoirs than in larger ones. Generally, Chl-a and TP demonstrated a close relationship while that of Chl-a and TN showed less correlationship. Chl-a and chemical oxygen demand (COD) also showed a good relationship. Beth ratios of Chl-a / TP and Chl-a / COD relationships were within the range of literature values. Quantitative analysis of TP and COD is relatively convenient compared to that of Chl-a, and the relationship between TP and COD and Chl-a from this study could be used beneficially for water quality management of agricultural reservoirs and related water quality modeling.

The effect of ABA on the chloroplast disassembly of Zea mays was investigated by measuring the changes in the relative distribution of chlorophyll(Chl) between the Chl-protein complexes in ABA treated and untreated sensecting leaves. The reaction center(RC)-light harvesting complex(LHC) regions were rapidly disassembled in the late stage of dark-induced senescence. Plus, during dark-induced senescence, the disassembly of a reaction center of P700 apoproteins containing mainly Chl a was faster than that of a reaction center of LHCI apoproteins containing both Chl a and Chl b. The increase in the relative distribution of Chl-protein complexes in the RC-Core2 in the late stage of senescence was due to the accumulation of core complexes such as CP47/43 and reaction centers including D1/D2 apoproteins disassembled from the RC-Corel containing the dimer of D1/D2 apoproteins. The LHCII region was more stable than the other Chl-protein complexes throughout leaf senscence. Accordingly, it is suggested that the preferential breakdown of Chl a gives rise to the disassembly of Chl a-binding proteins, particularly reaction centers and core complexes during dark-induced senescence, plus the primary target of the photosynthetic apparatus in sensecing leaves would seem to be Chl a along with the proteins associated with Chl a. The application of ABA promoted the disassembly of the P700 apoproteins in the PSI reaction center and the dimer of D1/D2 apoproteins, and the conversion of the trimeric LHCII apoprotein to the monometirc LHCII apoprotein during the middle stage of leaf senescence, thereby suggesting that ABA accelerates the disassembly of both Chl a-binding and Chl a+b-binding proteins, particularly Chl a-binding proteins during the middle stage of leaf senescence.

A comparative study was performed on two different strains of Leishmania major, chloroquine sensitive strains (Chl$^{S}$) and its mutant chloroquine resistant strains (Chl$^{R}$). Chl$^{R}$ strains were obtained at 5$\times$$10^{-4}$M chloroquine. Remarkable differences were observed at the initial chloroquine uptake in Chl$^{R}$ and Chl$^{S}$, i.e., the rate of uptake was very reduced in Chl$^{R}$ (Km values were 70 nM and 125 nM, respectively). Influx and accumulation of chloroquine were also compared between wild type and mutant. An increasing tendency in both influx and accumulation of chloroquine was shown in Chl$^{S}$, but Chl$^{R}$ demonstrated a rapid release after a little uptake (influx) at the early stage. This result is thought to be basis of their resistance for Chl$^{R}$ strains.

In order to effectively manage the reservoir, reservoir water quality management should be based on physicochemical and configurational characteristics. In this research, correlation between factors affecting the reservoir water quality was examined. Chl-a and COD shows the highest positive correlation. Chl-a and T-P also has a high positive correlation, however Chl-a and T-N show lower correlation relatively. Even though T-N is an important factor for phytoplankton growth which increase Chl-a concentration, corelation of Ch1-a and T-N shows that enough nitrogen in the reservoir isn't no longer limiting factor. The age of reservoir can cause of increasing COD and SS. Embankment height and elevation of reservoirs shows strong negative correlation to water quality. That means reservoir which is higher embankment height and locate in higher elevations is less contaminated. Regression expression was derived with Chl-a and water quality parameters, and height of reservoir. Finally Chl-a was simulated using regression expression and it was a good approach to predict the Chl-a concentration.

Monitoring data from agricultural reservoirs throughout the country were analyzed to evaluate the limiting factor for algal growth and correlationship between Chl-a, total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and chemical oxygen demand (COD). It was used for the analysis to monitored data of 394 reservoirs such as TP, TN, Chl-a, and COD from 1999 to 2003. This study analyzed water quality items in terms of areas, seasons. It turned out that phosphorus in agricultural reservoirs (about 80%) was dominant limiting factor for algal growth. Therefor, it appears that the appropriate managements of phosphorus in the agricultural watershed are crucial to prevent excessive on algal growth. Generally, there is correlation between Chl-a and TP while Chl-a do not have effect on TN. Also, Chl-a have influence on COD. This study could be used beneficially for water quality management of agricultural reservoirs and related water quality modeling.

BACKGROUND: Purpose of the study was to establish the extinction coefficients of chlorophyll a and b in N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF) and Dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO) solvents and to find out the conditions of optimal extraction temperature and time in citrus leaves. METHODS AND RESULTS: Chlorophyll a and b standards were dissolved in DMF and DMSO. Extinction coefficients of chlorophyll pigments were determined and their contents were quantified using spectrophotometer. Chlorophyllous pigments of citrus(Citrus unshiu Marc. cv. Okitsu wase) leaves were extracted at 25, 40, 60 and $80^{\circ}C$ for 4, 6, 8, 24 and 48 hours to determine the optimal extraction condition. CONCLUSION: The extinction coefficients of chlorophyll a(Chl a) and chlorophyll b(Chl b) of DMF extracts for high extinction wavelength were 663.8 and 647.2 nm. Similarly, the high extinction wavelength of DMSO extracts were 665.8 and 649.0 nm for chl a and b respectively. Chl a, Chl b and total chlorophyll content of DMF extracts were Chl a = $12.10A_{663.8}-2.74A_{647.2}$, Chl b = $21.94A_{647.2}-5.06A_{663.8}$ and total $Chl=19.193A_{647.2}+7.04A_{663.8}$. Similarly, Chl a, Chl b and total Chl of DMSO extracts were Chl a = $14.53A_{665.8}-5.40A_{649.0}$, Chl b = $26.98A_{649.0}-7.11A_{665.8}$ and total $Chl=21.58A_{649.0}+7.43A_{665.8}$. The chlorophyll extracts of DMF and DMSO were very stable in dark. High chlorophyll contents of citrus leaves were found at $80^{\circ}C$ extraction for 6 hours in DMF and at $80^{\circ}C$ extraction for 24 hours in DMSO. However, the chlorophyll content was decreased significantly after 8 hours in DMF extraction while it was remained up to 30 hours in DMSO extraction.

Chlorophyll synthase (ChlG) and bacteriochlorophyll synthase (BchG) have a high degree of substrate specificity. The BchG mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides, BG1 strain, is photosynthetically incompetent. When BG1 harboring chlG of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was cultured photoheterotrophically, colonies arose at a frequency of approximately 10^-8. All the suppressor mutants were determined to have the same mutational change, ChlG_I44F. The mutated enzyme ChlG_I44F showed BchG activity. Remarkably, BchG_F28I, which has the substitution of F at the corresponding 28^th residue to I, showed ChlG activity. The K_m values of ChlG_I44F and BchG_F28I for their original substrates, chlorophyllide (Chlide) a and bacteriochlorophyllide (Bchlide) a, respectively, were not affected by the mutations, but the K_m values of ChlG_I44F and BchG_F28I for the new substrates Bchlide a and Chlide a, respectively, were more than 10-fold larger than those for their original substrates, suggesting the lower affinities for new substrates. Taken together, I44 and F28 are important for the substrate specificities of ChlG and BchG, respectively. The BchG activity of ChlG_I44F and the ChlG activity of BchG_F28I further suggest that ChlG and BchG are evolutionarily related enzymes.

하계 동중국해 북부해역의 표층은 CDW와 HSW 해역으로 구분되며, CDW 해역은 DIN 농도, 총 Chl-a 농도 및 소형 Chl-a 비중이 높았고, 박테리아와 섬모충류 개체수도 높게 나타났다. 상대적으로 영양염 농도가 낮은 HSW 해역에서는 총 Chl-a 농도가 낮고, CDW 해역에 비해 소형 Chl-a 비중은 감소하고, 초미소 Chl-a 비중이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 박테리아 개체수는 CDW 해역과 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았지만, 섬모충류 개체수는 감소한 것으로 나타났다. CDW 해역에서는 박테리아가 식물플랑크톤 외에도 용존유기탄소로부터 유기물을 공급받을 것으로 생각되지만, HSW 해역에서는 박테리아가 초미소식물플랑크톤으로부터 배출되는 유기물에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 두 해역 모두에서 박테리아와 섬모충류 간의 유의한 상관성이 관찰되지 않아, 조사해역에서는 박테리아가 섬모충류의 주요 먹이원이 아닌것으로 여겨진다. Chl-a 농도가 감소할수록 박테리아 탄소량/식물플랑크톤 탄소량이 증가했으며, 이는 영양염이 풍부한 CDW 해역에 비해 빈영양 수괴의 영향을 받은 HSW 해역에서는 미생물 먹이망의 역할이 더욱 강하게 작용한다는 것을 가리킨다. 본 연구 결과는 CDW 및 빈영양 대마난류의 세기 변화가 식물플랑크톤의 크기 및 군집 분포에 영향을 미치며, 이에 따라 해양 먹이망 내 미생물 먹이망의 기여도가 다르게 나타난다는 것을 시사한다.

본 연구는 기수산 cyclopoid 요각류인 Paracyclopina nana의 먹이 종류와 농도에 따른 섭식률을 조사하였다. 먹이 공급 24 시간 후 먹이의 종류와 농도에 따른 P. nana의 장내용물 함량과 섭취된 먹이의 양을 색소분석 방법으로 조사하였다. T. suecica는 30 ng chl a/ml, I. galbana와 D. tertiolecta는 40 ng chl a/ml, P. tricornutum는 45 ng chl a/ml 농도로 공급하였을 때 섭취된 먹이의 양과 P. nana의 장내용물 함량이 가장 높았다. T. suecica, I. galbana, P. tricornutum, 그리고 D. tertiolecta에 대한 P. nana 성체 1 개체의 시간당 최대 섭식률은 각 미세조류의 공급 농도가 각각 39.3, 44.7, 44.5와 49.8 ng chl a/ml일 때 각각 0.63, 0.60, 0.41 및 0.52 ng chl a로 나타났다. 따라서 P. nana의 대량배양시 가장 적합한 먹이생물은 공급 농도가 낮으면서도 섭식률이 가장 높은 T. suecica이며, 성체 1 개체당 1일 먹이 공급량은 약 $25{\sim}39$ ng chl a (약 $10{\sim}15{\times}10^4$ cells)가 가장 경제적일 것으로 판단된다.
