Tidal flats are well developed in and around the Yellow Sea of Northeast Asia, and benthic diatoms are the most important primary producers in corresponding habitats. In the present study, the taxonomy and distribution of small negligible diatom species from Northeast Asian tidal flats are investigated for better understanding of the diversity of Korean marine benthic diatoms. The presence of Plagiogrammopsis minima and Diploneis aestuarii, which may have been ignored and/or misidentified due to their small size, were identified by both means of light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Plagiogrammopsis minima has never been reported from Korea before the present study, while Diploneis aestuarii was only once mentioned without any photographic information. Accordingly, we provide the morphological characteristics of the two species in detail with LM and SEM observation. Information on the regional distribution of the two species is also provided. Results of the present study contribute to the better understanding of the biodiversity of the Korean marine benthic diatoms.

A study on the indigenous diatoms was carried out at 103 sites during August 2008 to April 2011 from the marine and the brackish waters in Korea. A fine structure of small-sized diatoms was examined using a light and scanning electron microscopy. Sixty species of diatoms were newly identified and composed of 3 class, 6 subclass, 16 order, 21 family and 39 genus. The detailed nomenclatures, references, photographs and distributions were here reported. Of 60 species, the most frequent species was Tryblionella coarctata appearing 24 times, and 22 times followed by Thalassiosira lacustris, Cocconeis stauroneiformis was 20 times. In the level of genus, Chaetoceros, Parlibells and Thalassiosira were included 4 species, Actinocyclus, Minidiscus and Licmophora were included 3 species. This study will provide the knowledge of the diversity level of diatom in Korea, the knowledge is important on the diatoms for further studies.

Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Bacillariophyceae) is a marine diatom which has been supplied as a food of bivalves. In this study, growth responses of P. tricornutum to some nitrogen sources and sodium were investigated by measuring cell number and contents of chlorophyll a in culture. In medium with nitrogen and sodium, brisk cell division occurred and maximum growth rate was respectively found in the medium with 150 mg/l of nitrate and 10 mg/l of ammonium and urea. At 10-500 mg/l ammonium and urea and 200-500 mg/l nitrate, specific growth rate decreased slightly. However, no cell division observed in sodium-deficient medium, regardless of presence or absence of nitrogen. This suggests that sodium is required for the nitrogen uptake of P. tricornutum, resulting nitrogen uptake leading to cell division. Also the upper limits of ammonium and nitrate for the growth of P. tricornutum seem to be 10 mg/l and 500 mg/l, respectively.

The initiation of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooming in the South Sea of Korea occurs in the sea near Naro-Do in late August. In this paper, the relationships of this annual occurrence with the environmental conditions are presented. In early summer, the winds in the sea near Naro-Do are southwesterly and the upwelling occurs in the near-shore area. The favorable winds to the upwelling are relaxed in August and the downwelling favorable northeasterly winds set in around late August. The change of wind direction causes the onshore transport of warm-and-fresh off-shore water into the sea near Naro-Do and a front between near-shore water and off·shore water is formed. Along the front, downwelling occurs and the environmental conditions for the diatom become unfavorable. When the typhoon and storm bring well-mixed East China Sea water into the sea near Naro-Do in September, the conditions for the dinoflagellates become unfavorable and blooming of C. polykrikoides disappears.

Irgarol과 diuron에 각각 노출된 해산규조류(Skeletonema costatum)의 개체군 성장률(r)을 분석하여 독성평가를 실시하였다. S. costatum을 irgarol (0, 0.31, 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5 ㎍ l^-1)과 diuron (0,7.81, 15.63, 31.25, 62.5, 125 ㎍ l^-1)에 각각 96시간 노출하여 r을 계산하였고, 대조구의 r은 0.04 이상으로 시험기준에 적합하였다. S. costatum의 r은 irgarol에서 0.63 ㎍ l^-1, diuron은 15.63 ㎍ l^-1 이상에서 대조구 대비 유의하게 감소하기 시작하여 irgarol과 diuron의 농도가 증가할수록 r이 감소하는 농도의존적인 반응을 나타냈고, 시험 최고농도 5와 125 ㎍ l^-1에서 r이 대조구 대비 80% 이상 감소하였다. Irgarol과 diuron에 노출시킨 S. costatum r의 반수영향농도(EC₅₀)는 1.09, 45.45 ㎍ l^-1, 무영향농도(NOEC)는 0.31, 7.81 ㎍ l^-1, 최소영향농도(LOEC)는 0.63, 15.63 ㎍ l^-1으로 나타났으며, EC₅₀ 기준으로 irgarol이 diuron보다 독성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과로 해양생태계에서 Irgarol과 diuron의 농도가 0.63과 15.63 ㎍ l^-1 이상이 되면, 해산 규조류 S. costatum의 r은 독성영향을 받을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 독성 값으로 제시된 결과들은 irgarol과 diuron의 기준농도 설정을 위한 기초자료로 유용하게 활용될 것이다.

Biological pump processes generated by diatom production in the surface water of the Southern Ocean play an important role in exchanging CO₂ gas between the atmosphere and ocean. In this study, the biogenic opal content of the sediments was measured to elucidate the variation in the primary production of diatoms in the surface water of the Southern Ocean since the last glacial period. A piston core (COR-1bPC) was collected from the Conrad Rise, which is located in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean. The sediments were mainly composed of siliceous ooze, and sediment lightness increased and magnetic susceptibility decreased in an upward direction. The biogenic opal content was low (38.9%) during the last glacial period and high (73.4%) during the Holocene, showing a similar variation to that of Antarctic ice core ΔT and CO₂ concentration. In addition, the variation of biogenic opal content in core COR-1bPC is consistent with previous results reported in the Antarctic Zone, south of the Antarctic Polar Front, in the Southern Ocean. The glacial-interglacial biogenic opal production was influenced by the extent of sea ice coverage and degree of water column stability. During the last glacial period, the diatom production was reduced due to the penetration of light being limited in the euphotic zone by the extended sea ice coverage caused by the lowered seawater temperature. In addition, the formation of a strong thermocline in more extensive areas of sea ice coverage led to stronger water column stability, resulting in reduced diatom production due to the reduction in the supply of nutrient-rich subsurface water caused by a decrease in upwelling intensity. Under such environmental circumstances, diatom productivity decreased in the Antarctic Zone during the last glacial period, but the biogenic opal content increased rapidly under warming conditions with the onset of deglaciation.

Fucoxanthin has been reported as bioactive compounds exhibiting strong antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. Owing to its a wide range of applications and potentials, commercial production of fucoxanthin from algae has been attracted many attentions. Although, most of seaweeds and diatoms contain fucoxanthin as major carotenoid contents, low productivity of fucoxanthin still hinder the industrial application. Here, we newly isolated and identified indigenous marine diatom Odontella sp. BS-003 as a resource of fucoxanthin production. The characterization, optimization and production of the fucoxanthin, along with other bioactive compound omega-3 fatty acid from odontella sp. BS-003 were analyzed in this study, and the results represented optimal culture condition (two-fold silicate containing F/2 medium) significantly enhanced the algal biomass productivity. The maximum biomass (1.83 g/L), fucoxanthin (3.88 mg/g), along with omega-3 fatty acid (10 %, w/w) were obtained from the 10 L of photobioreactor. Based on the results, it is speculated that the microalga Odontella sp. BS-003 can be a promising natural resource for the production of bioactive compounds.
