Four monogonont rotifers, Filinia hofmanni Koste, 1980, Lecane pusilla Harring, 1914, Mikrocodides chlaena (Gosse, 1886), and Proales fallaciosa Wulfert, 1937, were newly recorded in Korea. The genera Mikrocodides Bergendal, 1892 and Proales Gosse, 1886 were recorded for the first time in Korea. Mikrocodides chlaena and Proales fallaciosa were found from soil samples and are both soft-bodied species. Filinia hofmanni has previously been recorded mainly in Europe, and this is its first record in Asia. Lecane pusilla is the 24th lecanid rotifer recorded in Korea, and its morphological characteristics are consistent with previous research of L. pusilla. We have provided the morphological diagnoses of the four Korean specimens in this study, along with the partial sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COI) gene of three species.

This study determined the optimum microalgae species and concentration for growth of small rotifer Proales similis, in community cultures by feeding it several different foods. Four single trials (Tetraselmis suecica, TET; Isochrysis galbana, ISO; Nannochloropsis oculata, NAN; freshwater Chlorella vulgaris, CHL) were conducted at 5 psu and $25^{\circ}C$. The maximum density and specific growth rate (SRG) were highest for rotifer fed CHL reaching 1,075 individuals (inds.)/mL and 0.83 respectively. By contrast, other foods of ISO, NAN and TET resulted in poor growth rates and maximum density. In the freshwater C. vulgaris experiments examining a range of 0.05 to $8.8mg/10^4rotifers$, the growth of rotifer tended to decrease with the amount of supplement. The maximum density and SGR of females was highest at 910 inds./mL and 0.55 respectively, at $0.05mg/10^4rotifers$. These results suggest that the best microalgae species for the culture of P. similis is freshwater C. vulgaris and the optimum concentration is $0.05mg/10^4rotifers$.

We investigated the optimum salinity and temperature conditions for the mass culture of small rotifer, Proales similis. In the salinity experiment ranging from 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 33‰, growth tended to decrease with salinity increase. Most agreeable salinity for rotifer growth was 1‰ in which maximum density and specific growth rate (SGR) were obtained. In the temperature experiments ranging from 15, 20, 25, 30 and $35^{\circ}C$, continuous growth of rotifer populations was found up to $35^{\circ}C$. The highest maximum density (2,060 inds./mL) of rotifer was observed at $25^{\circ}C$ in given temperature regime. Also, the SGR of females showed increasing tendencies with the increase of temperature. These results suggest that the optimum salinity and temperature for mass culture of P. similis may be 1‰ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively.

하수슬러지의 퇴비화를 촉진할 수 있는 방안을 검토하기 위하여 2월 및 8월에 하수슬러지를 채취하여 생균수를 측정한 결과 하수종말처리장에서의 폐수처리시 유입수량 변동, 양이온성 polyacrylamide의 사용량 및 기후 변동을 포함하는 여러 조건의 변화에 따라 미생물 종과 미생물수의 변동이 많았으며, 미소후생동물의 종류 및 활동성도 계절에 따른 차이가 있었다. 양이온성 polyacrylamide가 미생물 생육에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 양이온성 polyacrylamide의 농도가 0.8% 이상일 때는 모든 균주의 생육이 저해되었으나 0.2% 이하에서는 균 생육에 지장을 초래하지 않았다. 하수슬러지의 퇴비화 과정중에 관여하는 미생물의 균종과 균수를 조사하고자 하였으나 미생물의 생태적 생리적 특성과 퇴비화의 일정한 상관관계를 도출할 수는 없었다. 그러나 유기물 함량과 bulking agent로 톱밥을 투여하였을 경우 미생물의 균종과 균수의 증가가 관찰되었다. 하수종말처리장의 폭기조 투입직전 활성슬러지, 폭기조내 활성슬러지, 하수슬러지와 bulking agent로 톱밥을 혼합처리하여 관찰한 결과 Fragilaria sp., Proales sp., Vorticella sp., Schizothrix sp., Anabaena sp., Zoothaminium sp., Epstylis sp., Arcella sp., Balantidium sp., Actinophrys sp., Synedra sp., Euglypha sp., Ulothrix sp., Anacystis sp., 및 Clostium sp. 등의 다양한 미소 후생동물이 관찰되었다. 특히 전기간에 걸쳐 Fragilaria sp., Proales sp., Vorticella sp. 몇 Schizothrix sp.가 관찰되었다. 슬러지 내에 존재하는 세균, 효모, 방선균, 곰팡이, 미세조류, 원생동물 및 하등동물은 하수슬러지의 퇴비화 또는 감량화 과정 중에 존재하여 공극의 확보와 같은 물리적인 퇴비화 촉진과 생물학적 분해작용에 의한 퇴비화 촉진 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.
