Freshwater algae make up a very important portion of the autotrophic component of the aquatic food web. Therefore, the study of freshwater algal structure and biomass is central to aquatic ecosystem studies. Due to variations in cell shape and size for each species (or taxon) and survey site, cell abundance (or cell numbers per chosen volume) often leads to misrepresentation of the true importance of some species because of the great differences in size of various algae. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the freshwater algal species of a site in order to calculate the cell volume. Although direct cell counting, species volume measurement, as well as biomass calculation are time-consuming and requiring specialists in taxonomy.

본 연구는 유기농업에서 생물자원으로서 담수 클로렐라의 활용 가능성을 연구하고자 유기농 생태계로부터 담수 녹조류를 분리, 동정하고, 생물학적인 특성을 조사하였다. 조사 지역의 수온은 $12.4{\sim}28.2^{\circ}C$, pH는 6.1~8.5이었다. 담수 녹조류를 분리할 때 고체배양법이 액체배양법보다 오염도가 낮고 분리 빈도가 높았다. 전국 9개 지역, 6개 담수 녹조류 서식처로 부터 총 115개의 균주를 분리하였다. 담수 녹조류의 분리 및 배양을 위해 질소원으로는 $NaNO_3$과 $KNO_3$, 탄소원으로 $Na_2CO_3$를 사용하였고, macro media의 구성 성분 중 $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$과 $CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$를 분리하여 제조한 BGMM(BG11 Modified Medium)배지를 고안하였다. 담수녹조류는 배양 후 4일째부터 급격히 흡광도가 증가하였고 8일째부터 흡광도가 감소하였다. 공시한 7개의 균주 중 CHK008 균주가 배양 7일째에 가장 높은 흡광도를 보였다. 담수 녹조류 배양에 적합한 BGMM 배지의 pH는 6~7이었고 조사되는 빛이 강할수록 생육이 증가하였으며 5종류 당류 중에서 Glucose와 Galactose를 첨가하였을 때 클로랄라의 생육이 좋았다. 순수 분리한 16개 녹조류 균주의 균총색은 녹색, 진녹색, 연녹색을 나타내었고, 11개의 균주가 형광현미경하에서 강한 형광 빛을 나타내었다. 녹조류 16개 균주의 형태적인 특징을 조사한 결과 C. vulgalis, C. sorokiniana, C. pyrenoidosa, C. kessleri, C. emersonii, and Chlamydomonas sp.의 2개 속 6개종으로 동정되었다. 담수 녹조류의 세포 크기는 종마다 다양한 변이를 보였다. 대부분의 담수 녹조류의 세포형태는 구형이었다. Chlamydomonas sp.는 타원형이었고 Chlorella sorokiniana는 구형과 타원형이 섞여 있었다. 6개 녹조류 종류 중 Chlamydomonas sp.를 제외한 모든 균주는 편모가 없었다. Chlamydomonas sp. 1개 균주와 C. sorokiniana 5개 균주는 세포에서 점질물을 분비하였다.

In preparing a bibliographic check-list on freshwater red algae of India, we noted that nomenclatural changes are necessary for nine taxa currently placed in Acrochaetium-Audouinella-Chantransia complex and Batrachospermum sensu lato. These are Audouinella desikacharyi nom. nov., A. keralayensis (Jose & Patel) comb. nov., Kumanoa balakrishnanii (Chaugule) comb. nov., K. dasyphylla (Skuja ex Balakrishnan & Chaugule) comb. nov., K. iyengarii (Skuja ex Balakrishnan & Chaugule) comb. nov., K. kylinii (Balakrishnan & Chaugule) comb. nov., K. mahabaleshwarense (Balakrishnan & Chaugule) comb. nov., K. umamaheswararaoi (Baluswami & Babu) comb. nov., and K. zeylanica (Skuja ex Balakrishnan & Chaugule) comb. nov. All the above-mentioned species, excepting Kumanoa zeylanica, appear to be endemic to India, since no other records are known outside India.

Freshwater red algal diversity and the relationship with water conditions in 22 stream segments in the area around Khao Luang National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand, were studied during a period of twelve months (May 2014 to April 2015). Sixteen species of freshwater red algae, belonging to eight genera (Audouinella, Balliopsis, Batrachospermum, Caloglossa, Compsopogon, Kumanoa, Sirodotia, and Thorea) were identified, which were all reported earlier for the country. Thorea clavata (Thoreaceae) was the most common species occurring in eight stream segments. Caloglossa beccarii sensu lato (Delesseriaceae) and Sirodotia huillensis Skuja (Batrachospermaceae) had the highest percent cover with up to 40% and 20% per stream segment, respectively. The water quality showed most sites to be unpolluted or ultra-oligotrophic to oligotrophic. Canonical Correspondence Analysis revealed some trends in occurrence of individual species with stream environmental variables: Batrachospermum sp.with strong current velocity; Kumanoa hirosei with high turbidity, total dissolved solid and alkalinity; Caloglossa beccarii with high conductivity; Kumanoa tabagatenensis with high ammonia-nitrogen and Thorea siamensis with high calcium and magnesium. In view of the scarce studies on the stream ecology of freshwater red algae in Philippines and neighbouring countries, it is expected that the data presented here would be helpful in more critical further studies in south-east Asia in general.

Caloglossa species occurs in freshwater streams around Southest Asia. We report it from 2 different riverine sites in Kerala, India. Tetrasporangiate plants were observed in field collections from the Periyar River and Chalakkudy River. The Chalakkudy isolate did not reproduce in culture but the Periyar isolate developed abundant tetrasporangial sori in culture. Many spores were discharged and most were abortive, but some germinated normally, sporelings forming male gametophytes with numerous spermatangial sori and females with many procarps, viable carposporophytes and some nonfunctional (no carpospores) pseudocystocarps. Some carpospores germinated forming new tetrasporophytes. Molecular evidence (28S rDNA and rbcL) placed the Indian specimens close to C. beccarii and C. fluviatilis. Considering the freshwater habitat and morphology of vegetative thalli (blade shape, rhizoid arrangement, and number of rhizoid filament per cell), the Indian specimens should be assigned to C. beccarii.

Three ecotypes of the freshwater red alga Compsopogon coeruleus (Balbis) Montagne were recorded from different freshwater and brackish water habitats of Orissa state in the east coast of India. These three had persistent differences in their branching pattern, e.g. (i) acute angle between main axis and lateral branch, (ii) equal or near to right angle between main axis and lateral branch, and (iii) short spine-like outgrowth instead of a branch in older filaments, besides having differences in the length, breadth and thickness of cortex of the thallus. Morphological observation of these taxa, and the ecological characteristics of the habitat of their occurrence is presented.

This study was carried out on freshwater chlorococcal green algae in ponds, swamps, reservoirs, lakes and rivers (290 sites) from May 2012 to January 2014. The family Radiococaceae was identified and classified into 3 genera, 12 species and 1 variety at 23 sites. These taxa were Eutetramorus. nygaardii, E. tetraporus, E. planctonicus, E. fottii, E. globosus, E. polycoccus, Coenocystis planctonica, C. planctonica var. hercynica, C. micrococca, C. subcylindrica, Gloeocystis baneergattensis, G. papuana, and G. polydermatica. These taxa may or not had remnants of the cell wall in the colonial gelatinous envelope for a short time. Of these, 2 taxa are newly recorded in Korea from this study: 1) C. micrococca and 2) G. polydermatica.
