Photoadaptation of Chlorobium (Cb.) phaeobacteroides was investigated under dim and strong light intensity. Absorption spectra of these whole cellIs were different each other. The Soret band intensity and the Qy bandwidth of BChl e in c디l grown under dim light intensity were smaller and more broadened than those under strong light intensity. From HPLC analysis of the pigments, total carotenoid (Car) / bacterochorolphyll (BChl) e ratio of cell increased wi1h increase of light intensities. But camposition of BChl e hamologs almost unchanged. Cb. phaeobacteroides contains 11 kinds of Car including isorenieratene and beta-isorenieratene as major Car. The campositions of Car were different for cells grown under dim and strong light intensities. In conclusion, Cb. phaeobacteroides changes total amount and canposition of Car to adapt various light intensities, while homolog canposition of BChle unchange.

Heterosigma akashiwo has been reported as red-tide causing phytoplankton in the Korean coastal area during summer when they are exposed to high light. It also shows photosynthetic adaptability to strong light during culture in the laboratory. On the basis of these observations, we tried to find out some genes specifically expressed in Heterosimga akashiwo during exposure to high light, assuming that they might have some resistant mechanisms associated with light adaptation. For this purpose, we carried out DD-PCR to detect differentially expressed mRNAs from cells that had been illuminated under high light for 3 days. We found eight cDNA clones that had been expressed specificically for high light. When they were further screened by reverse Northern hybridization, three of them were identified to be positive cDNA clones. When these cDNA fragments were subjected to DNA sequencing and then their base sequences were compared to GenBank database, one of them showed sequence homology 86% identical to the partial sequence of 16S rRNA gene of eubacterium CRO-18.

한국 서해의 곰소만에서 분리한 온대 해역 산 초유의 M. rubrum MR-MAL01 배양체가 확보되어, M. rubrum의 입자성 먹이 섭식 현상이 보고되었다. 100$\mu$mo1 photons m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$의 고광도(HL) 및 10 $\mu$mo1 photons m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$의 저광도(LL)에서 광 적응된 미동정 은편모조류 종주 CR-MAL01를 섭식한 M. rubrum의 HL및 LL적응 배양체의 흡광스펙트림을 분석하였다. LL에 적응된 은편모조류를 섭식하고 LL에 적응한 M. rubrum은 섭식 이전의 먹이 세포 흡광특성인 542nm부근의 황갈색 파장 범위에서 뚜렷한 흡광피크를 나타낸 반면, HL에 적응된 은편모조류를 섭식하고 HL에 적응한 M. rubrum은 이러한 흡광 피크를 보이지 않았다. 이는 M. rubrum세포가 자연환경에서 먹이로서 은편모조류 세포를 섭식하기 이전 이들의 광 적응 상태가 섭식 이후 M. rubrum의 광이용 효율 및 광흡수 특성 등을 결정짓는 주요 요인이 될 가능성을 시사한다. 본 연구 결과에 따라 예상되는 해양 미소생물 생태계 내에서 이들 섭식자 및 먹이생물 종의 역할에 대하여 논의하였다.
