저염분에 따른 양식생물의 피해를 줄이기 위한 조기경보 방안으로 염분에 따른 굴(Crassostrea gigas) 패각운동 특성을 홀 소자를 이용하여 측정하는 생물모니터링시스템의 적용 가능성을 조사하였다. 염분농도 27 psu에서 굴의 패각운동은 평균 10-15 mm 정도의 개각상태를 유지하다가, 비교적 빠른 폐각상태를 지시하는 큰 파형이 보였으며, 다시 개각상태로 돌아가나, 그 속도는 폐각상태로 진행되는 속도보다 느리게 나타났다. 20 psu까지 저염분의 농도에서는 27 psu의 패각 운동과 큰 변화가 없었다. 하지만 17 psu 이하의 염분농도부터 이상 패각운동이 지시되었으며, 10 psu에서는 패각운동이 없이 폐각상태를 유지하였다. 이와 같은 생물모니터링시스템을 패류 양식에 활용하여 해양환경의 이상변동을 신속히 감지할 수 있다면, 어업피해를 감소시킬 활동으로 연결될 것으로 기대된다.

Bio diesel has advantages to reduce GHG(Greenhouse Gas) compare with the fossil fuel by using oil comes from plant/animal sources and even waste such as used cook oil. The diversity of energy feeds brings the positive effects to secure the national energy mix. In this circumstance, micro-algae is one of the prospective source, though some technical barriers. We analyzed the bio diesel which was derived from Dunaliella tertiolecta LB999 through the BD100 quality specifications designated by the law. From that result, it is revealed that the oxidation stability is one of the properties to be improved. In order to find the reason for low oxidation stability, we analyzed the oxidation tendency of each FAME components through some methods(EN 14111, EN14112, EN16091). In this study, we could find the higher double bond FAME portion, the more oxidative property(C18:1${\ll}C18:3$) in bio diesel and main unsaturated FAME group is acted as the key component deciding the bio diesel's oxidation stability. It is proved experimentally that C18:3 FAME are oxidized easily under the modified accelerated oxidation test. We also figure out low molecular weight hydrocarbon and FAME were founded as a result of thermal degradation. Some alcohol and aldehydes were also made by FAME oxidation. In conclusion, it is necessary to find the way to improve the micro-algal bio diesel's oxidation stability.

본 연구의 목적은 전기방사법을 사용하여 poly(L-lactide-$co$-${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PLCL)과 marine collagen (MC)이 혼합된 나노섬유를 제조하는 것이다. 전기방사된 나노섬유의 직경과 형태는 여러 공정 변수에 의해서 변화되는데, PLCL과 MC의 혼합비, 노즐과 콜렉터와의 거리, 노즐의 직경, 용액의 방출 속도 그리고 전기장의 세기 변화에 따라 나노파이버의 직경을 주사전자현미경을 통해서 분석하였다. 또한 제조된 나노파이버의 표면변화를 확인하기 위해 물과의 접촉각을 측정하였으며, 나노파이버의 세포 친화성을 평가하기 위해 MG-63을 이용하여 생존율과 흡착형태를 주사전자현미경과 형광현미경을 통해서 관찰하였다. 이와 같은 연구 결과, 방사거리, MC의 함량, 전기장의 세기가 증가할수록 제조된 나노파이버의 평균직경은 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 MC의 함량이 증가할수록 나노파이버의 친수성이 증가하였고 세포독성은 관찰되지 않았다. 이에 따라 해양유래 생물에서 추출한 콜라겐은 조직공학용 소재에 새롭게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

This project sought to conduct an economic feasibility study regarding the commercial production of bio-hydrogen by the marine hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus onnurineus NA1 using carbon monoxide-containing industrial off-gas. We carried out the economic evaluation of the bio-hydrogen production process using the raw material of steel mill by-product gas. The process parameter was as follows: $H_2$ production rate was 5.6 L/L/h; the conversion of carbon monoxide was 60.7%. This project established an evaluation criterion for about 10,000 tonne/year. Inflation factors were considered as 3%. The operating costs were recalculated based on prices in 2014. The total investment required for development was covered 30% by capital and 70% by a loan. The operation cost for the 0.5-year test and integration, and the cost for the first three months in the 50% production period were considered as the working capital in the cost estimation. The costs required for the rental of office space, facilities, and other related costs from the construction through to full-scale production periods were considered as continuing expenses. Materials, energy, waste disposal and other charges were considered as the operating cost of the development system. Depreciation, tax, maintenance and repair, insurance, labor, interest rate charges, general and administrative costs, lubrication and miscellaneous expenses were also calculated. The hydrogen price was set at US$ 4.15/kg for the economic evaluation. As a result, the process was considered to be economical with the payback period of 6.3 years, NPV of 18 billion Won and IRR of 26.7%.

The marine biotechnology industry is very significant as compared to other industries as one of the driving forces for economic growth in the next generation in Korea. However, the marine biotechnology market has been considered as a component of the biotechnology industry market which made difficult for creating separate research areas in relation to the scope of the relevant industry market as well as making it difficult to establish its own R&D policy strategies. Accordingly, this study was executed to estimate the future long-term market value of the marine biotechnology within the limit of industrial field and to verify the importance of national R&D investment in marine biotechnology on the basis of estimations within the industrial perspective. To this end, we classified the marine biotechnology industry into the four sub-sectors and estimated the domestic and global industrial market in 2010 and 2024. According to the results, the domestic and global market of the marine biotechnology industry will see a remarkable growth by 2024. In particular, the bio-energy, pharmaceutical and functional foods industry markets will achieve astonishing advances. On the basis of the analysis results, Korea has to establish more progressive and aggressive R&D investment strategies to strengthen national competitiveness through the marine biotechnology industry.

Macroalgae has been strongly touted as an alternative biomass for biofuel production due to its higher photosynthetic efficiency, carbon fixation rate, and growth rate compared to conventional cellulosic plants. However, its unique carbohydrate composition and structure limits the utilization efficiency by conventional microorganisms, resulting in reduced growth rates and lower productivity. Nevertheless, recent studies have shown that it is possible to enable microorganisms to utilize various sugars from seaweeds and to produce some energy chemicals such as methane, ethanol, etc. This paper introduces the basic information on macroalgae and the overall conversion process from harvest to production of biofuels. Especially, we will review the successful efforts on microbial engineering through metabolic engineering and synthetic biology to utilize carbon sources from red and brown seaweed.

Periodically, harmful algal blooms (HABs) have occurred, with impacts on various areas including public health, tourism, and aquatic ecosystems, especially aquacultured and caged fisheries. To prevent or manage invasions of HABs into fish farms on an emergency basis, many methods have been proposed. Frequently over the past 30 years in coastal countries, treatments of clay and clay mixed with polyaluminum chloride (PAC) and chitosan have been tested for HAB-removal effectiveness in both the laboratory and the field. In Korea, yellow loess clay (hwangto) has been dispersed using electrolytic clay dispensers, both to decrease the amount of yellow loess clay's usage in containers and enhance HAB-removal efficiency. However, this emergency method has limitations, among which is the requirement for more effective controlling agents for field applications. Thus, in this paper, we review technologies for clay-based red tides prevention and control and their limitations, and, further, introduce next-generation algicidal technologies for the emergency protection of fish farms.

미세조류는 육상 식물과 비교하여 높은 성장률을 나타내며 다량의 지질과 탄수화물을 축적할 뿐 아니라 카로테노이드, 폴리페놀과 같은 생리활성 물질들을 체내에 축적하므로 바이오 에너지 및 기타 산업의 유망한 재료로 인식 되어왔다. 미세조류의 온도, 염분, 빛 등 비생물적 스트레스와 다양한 배양 조건에 따른 생화학 물질의 축적 변화 양상에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔지만 그러한 조건들의 동시적인 효과에 따른 성장과 생화학물질 조성 변화에 대한 연구는 거의 진행되지 않았다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 산업적으로 많이 활용되고 있는 두 해양 미세조류인 Chlorella vulgaris와 Nannochloropsis granulata의 염분(10, 30, 50 psu) 및 온도(20, 25, $30^{\circ}C$)의 동시 배양 조건에 따른 바이오 매스의 변화와 바이오 에너지에 사용되는 중성지질 및 녹말의 축적 변화를 회분배양의 실험적 조건에서 측정하였다. 그 결과 $30^{\circ}C$, 30 psu 조건에서 C. vulgaris 및 N. granulata 모두 가장 높은 성장을 나타냈고, 광합성 색소인 chlorophyll a 및 carotenoid의 축적 양상이 온도 의존적으로 증가하였으며 중성지질과 녹말의 축적은 염분과 온도의 조합에 따라 두 종의 양상이 서로 다르게 나타나는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 미세조류의 염분에 의한 성장과 중성지질 및 녹말의 축적 양상은 서로 다른 온도 조건에 따라 그 변화 정도가 다르게 나타날 수 있다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study investigated growth and hematological changes in parrotfish Oplegnathus fasciatus (~200 g/fish) reared under different total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentrations (0, 4, or 8 mg/L) for 6 weeks. Survival rates of parrotfish in all experimental groups did not significantly differ, as they were all ~100%. Although specific growth rate (SGR), weight gain, and daily feed intake in the high TAN concentration group (TAN8) were significantly lower than in the other two groups, there was no significant difference between the TAN4 group and the control group, (TAN0), indicating that parrotfish have a strong resistance to ammonia toxicity. As for temporal changes of the major blood components, cortisol increased as a result of stress caused by the high ammonia concentration in the TAN8 group. For this reason, the concentrations of energy sources such as glucose and total cholesterol were reduced. However, there was little difference among all experimental groups in concentrations of liver function glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), and nutrient factors, such as total protein and albumin.
