Fermentative $H_2$ production was studied using microbial consortia isolated from heat-treated ($90{\circ}C$, 20 min) sewage sludge. Important parameters investigated were carbon(C) and nitrogen(N)-sources, C/N ratio, phosphate concentration, pH and temperature during anaerobic cultivation in serum bottles. Starch, ribose, sucrose and glucose were good C-sources for the culture growth and $H_2$ production. Yeast extract was better N-source than $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ or peptone when individually added to the synthetic media, however the combination of above three N-sources exhibited the additional effect for cell growth and $H_2$ evolution. Addition of 100 mM phosphate as a buffering agent prevented the rapid pH drop during the cultivation. The optimum initial pH for the cell growth was at 7.0, whereas $H_2$ production was observed at pH 5.5. Optimum temperature for the cell growth and $H_2$ production was $37{\circ}C$. Initial C/N ratio of 1.22 in the media using glucose and yeast extract as the C- and N-sources, respectively, showed the $H_2$ yield 1.0 mol $H_2$/mol glucose.

We investigated the spatiotemporal variations of dissolved inorganic nutrients along a saline gradient to estimate nutrient fluxes in the Seomjin River estuary during dry (March 2005, March 2006, March 2007, and March 2008) and rainy seasons (August 2005, July 2006, July 2007, and July 2008). Dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentrations were similar in the endmembers of freshwater for the rainy and dry seasons. In contrast, the concentrations of dissolved inorganic phosphate and silicate in the rainy season were approximately 2-3 times higher than those in the dry season. River discharge was approximately 10 times higher in the rainy season ($212m^3sec^{-1}$) than in the dry season ($21m^3sec^{-1}$). The fluxes of dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphate, and silicate were 2.91, 0.004, and 2.51 tons $day^{-1}$ in the dry season and 7.45, 0.421, and 30.5 tons $day^{-1}$ in the rainy season, respectively. Although the range of nutrient concentrations were similar to previous results from investigations in the Seomjin River estuary, the nutrient fluxes were differed according to river discharge for different survey periods.

To evaluate the water quality characteristic after construction of Keum river estuary barrage, water quality analysis were conducted on August October in 1995 and January, May in 1996 respectively. The results were summarized as follows. The concentrations of COD were in the range of 1.01~5.10 (mean 2.50)mg/$\ell$ for surface water and 0.51$\~$6.68 (1.88)mg/$\ell$ for bottom water. The concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) were in the range of 1.26$\~$105.91 (29.66)$\mu$g-at/$\ell$ for surface water and 1.42$\~$68.38 (19.12)$\mu$g-at/$\ell$ for bottom water. The concentrations of phosphate phosphorus were in the range of ND$\~$0.99 (0.34)$\mu$g-at/$\ell$ for surface water and 0.17$\~$1.04 (0.49)$\mu$g-at/$\ell$ for bottom water. The nitrogen ratio to the phosphorus were as high as 3.5$\~$849.5 (146.5). Therefore, Phosphate phosphorus was playing an important role in phytoplankton growth as limiting factor in Keum river estuary. The correlation coefficient of salinity and DIN according to COD was shown to -0.757 and -0.874 respectivity. Mean values of eutrophicaton indies were calculated to 9.7, 7.2 for surface and bottom water, these values were exceeding 1, the value of eutrophication criteria. Especially station 1$\~$3 were shown over 10 as eutrophication indices. Therefore, Keum river estuary could be evaluate to possibility area for breakout of red tides.

본 연구에서는, 충족농도를 기준으로 영양원를 제한한 경우와 탄소원 및 질소원이 각각 두 종류씩 혼재되어 있는 경우에 대해, 수돗물 토착세균 및 Pseudomonas fluorescence P17을 접종균으로 한 BRP법을 이용하여 세균의 재증식 특성을 연구하였다. 세균재증식능은 영양원의 제한에 의해 억제되는 것으로 나타났으며, 두가지 이상의 영양원이 동시에 제한된 경우, 세균재증식능의 억제가 더욱 증가되는 상승효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 특히 제한된 영양원에 인이 포함되어 있는 경우, 상대적으로 더욱 낮은 세균재증식능을 나타내고 있었다. 그러나 $NO_3^-$-N에 대해서는 농도가 증가할수록 세균재증식능이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 탄소원으로써 Glucose 및 Acetate 질소원으로 $NH_4^$-N 및 $NO_3^-$-N가 혼재되어 있는 경우를 대상으로 세균의 재증식 특성을 조사한 결과, 탄소원에 대해서는 Glucose 및 Acetate가 혼재되어 있는 경우가 각각의 탄소원을 단독으로 주입했을 경우보다 세균재증식능이 높게 나타났다. 또한 질소원에 대해서는 $NH_4^+$-N의 주입비율이 높아짐에 따라 세균재증식능이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food producing sectors; however, intensive farming techniques of finfish have raised environmental concerns, especially through the release of excessive nutrients into surrounding waters. Biodiversity has been widely shown to enhance ecosystem functions and services, but there has been limited testing or application of this key ecological relationship in aquaculture. This study tested the applicability of the biodiversity-function relationship to integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), asking whether species richness can enhance the efficiency of macroalgal bioremediation of wastewater from finfish aquaculture. Five macroalgal species (Chondrus crispus, Fucus serratus, Palmaria palmata, Porphyra dioica, and Ulva sp.) were cultivated in mono- and polyculture in water originating from a lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) hatchery. Total seaweed biomass production, specific growth rates (SGR), and the removal of ammonium (NH₄⁺), total oxidised nitrogen (TON), and phosphate (PO₄^3-) from the wastewater were measured. Species richness increased total seaweed biomass production by 11% above the average component monoculture, driven by an increase in up to 5% in SGR of fast-growing macroalgal species in polycultures. Macroalgal species richness further enhanced ammonium uptake by 25%, and TON uptake by nearly 10%. Phosphate uptake was not improved by increased species richness. The increased uptake of NH₄⁺ and TON with increased macroalgal species richness suggests the complementary use of different nitrogen forms (NH₄⁺ vs. TON) in macroalgal polycultures. The results demonstrate enhanced bioremediation efficiency by increased macroalgal species richness and show the potential of integrating biodiversity-function research to improve aquaculture sustainability.

Magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) was recovered from swine wastewater and the feasibility of reutilizing it as a slowly-releasing fertilizer was evaluated. Maize growth was investigated with normal and high application rates of MAP and a fused super phosphate (FSP) fertilizer. A total of 5 treatments ($T_0$ = control, $T_1$ = MAP based on 30 kg P $ha^{-1}$, $T_2$ = FSP based on 30 kg P $ha^{-1}$+urea equivalent to nitrogen of MAP applied in $T_1$, $T_3$ = MAP based on 40 kg P $ha^{-1}$, $T_4$ = FSP based on 40 kg P $ha^{-1}$+urea equivalent to nitrogen of MAP applied in $T_3$) were arranged with 3 replications. In the case of height and circumference, significant differences were found between controls and treated maize plants (p<0.01). However, no statistical differences were found between MAP- and FSP-urea treated maize. Leaf area and green biomass yield were significantly (p<0.01) higher in the treated group than control. Leaf area was also found significantly higher (p<0.01) in the higher MAP- treated group (2,374 $cm^2$ $plant^{-1}$) than other treatments. $N_2O$ emission was found to be lower in MAP treated soil than that from FSP-urea treated soil, which might be due to the slow releasing pattern of MAP. It could be assumed from the results that MAP would be an eco-friendly sustainable fertilizer source for crop production.

In the Upo wetland, physico-chemical factors were observed during the period from March 2005 to December 2007 on a monthly basis. In the Upo wetland, water temperatures ranged $3.4{\sim}34.5^{\circ}C$. Conductivities were in the range of 133~806 ${\mu}S\;cm^{-1}$, which showed about 140 ${\mu}S\;cm^{-1}$ below in comparison with the precedent studies. The pH levels were between 6.7~9.1 with lower level in summertime. The dissolved oxygens were between 0.06~18.23 mg $L^{-1}$. COD ranged 4.9~20.8 mg $L^{-1}$, and showed a tendency to decrease every year. Nitrogen nutrients such as nitrate nitrogen ($NO_3-N$), ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3-N$) and total nitrogen (T-P) showed that they were generally decreased in comparison with those in the precedent studies. However the total nitrogen (T-N) is still considerably higher than the standard concentration level of eutrophication and algal blooming. Phosphate phosphorus ($PO_4-P$) and total phosphorus (T-P) were also shown as to be reduced considerably comparing with the values in the precedent studies. However, It was found out that total phosphorus (T-P) was dissolved over the criteria concentration of eutrophication. The average of TN/TP ratio was 18 in the Upo wetland, which proved that phosphorus was the limiting factor to the growth of phytoplankton in the Upo wetland. The chl-$\alpha$ was the highest in wintertime and the lowest in summertime, and especially in 2006 summer when the cyanobacterial bloom developed, it showed extremely high concentration.

하계 진동만에서 얻어진 영양염 DIN(dissolved inorganic nitrogen) 및 DIP(dissolved inorganic phosphate)의 분포는 이들 농도가 만안쪽에서 매우 높은 것이 특징이다. 또 표층(0∼1 m)과 저층(8 m∼bottom)은 만 안쪽이 고농도 이고 중층(1∼8 m)은 상대적으로 낮다. 이러한 영양염의 분포특성을 바람, 조류, 밀도의 수평경도력 및 잔차류를 고려한 생태계모델을 이용하여 조사하였다. 수치실험은 이들 조건들이 영양염에 각기 어떻게 영향을 미치는 가에 주목하여 실시되었다 조석잔차류를 고려한 경우는 전반적으로 관측값보다 저농도의 분포를 보였고, 바람, 조석잔차류 및 밀도의 수평경도력에 의한 효과를 포함한 경우는 보다 관측값에 근접한 결과를 얻었다 이러한 결과는 통계적 분석 방법에서도 잘 뒤받침된다. 본 연구결과는 하계 진동만에서 영양염의 분포변동에 조류효과 뿐만이 아니라 바람에 의한 취송류 및 밀도의 수평경도력에 의해 발생하는 밀도류의 효과가 매우 중요함을 시사한다.
