This study determined the optimum microalgae species and concentration for the brackish water flea, Diaphanosoma celebensis, in individual and community cultures by feeding it several different diets. Six single trials (Tetraselmis suecica, Isochrysis galbana, marine Chlorella ellipsoidea, freshwater Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus sp., Selenastrum sp.) were conducted at 10 psu and $30^{\circ}C$. The community and individual cultures of the water flea were performed in 1-L beakers and 3-mL vessels (12-well culture plates), respectively. In the community cultures, the maximum density and specific growth rate were highest for water fleas fed T. suecica, reaching 60.0 individuals (ind.)/mL and 0.40, respectively. In the individual cultures, the most offspring and greatest life span of females were 56.9 ind. and 24.3 days, respectively, in the T. suecica trial. By contrast, diets of Scenedesmus sp. and Selenastrum sp. resulted in poor growth rates. In the T. suecica experiments examining a range of 10 to $200\times10^3$ cells/indl. the specific growth rate of the water flea tended to increase with the amount of supplement, while the life span decreased. The maximum density and number of offspring of females was highest at 53.5 ind./mL and 38.8 ind. respectively, at 40,000 cells/ind. These results suggest that the best microalgae species for the mass culture of D. celebensis is T. suecica and the optimum concentration is 40,000 cells per individual.

Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) in sunlight causes biological damages such as erythema and blister on skin. Microalgae have been in the limelight as an attractive feedstock for manufacturing functional materials. This study focused on screening microalga with protection ability against UV-B. The microalgae were isolated from local areas on April to June 2013 as well as June 2014. The cells were grown under continuous illumination from fluorescent lamps at $136.3{\pm}2.2{\mu}E/m^2/s$ in BG-11 medium at $15^{\circ}C$ for 12-14 days. The selected cells were spread on BG-11 agar and were exposed to UV-B (312 nm) for 20 and 25 minutes. The 13 strains among selected algae were classified. Among these, 9 strains were Scenedesmus sp. and the remains were Chlorella sp. Based on this study, it seems that Scenedesmus sp. and Chlorella sp. have resistibility against ultraviolet. These results will help to study on UV protection using microalgae.

토양 생태위해성평가는 식물류, 지렁이류, 선충류, 곤충류 등 일부 영양 단계에 국한된 토양독성자료를 활용하고 있다. 토양독성자료의 생물종 확대를 위해 토양 환경에서의 주요 생산자인 조류가 우선적으로 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 토양 관련 조류독성 연구동향을 분석하기 위해 국제 학술 논문을 대상으로 토양 관련 시험종, 노출매체 등에 초점을 맞춰 연구 사례를 수집하였으며, 시험매체, 시험종, 시험물질, 시험방법 등의 특성 중심으로 분석하였다. 현재까지 토양 관련 조류독성 연구에 사용된 생물종은 8종(Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus bijugatus, Chlorococcum infusionum, Scenedesmus subspicatus, Nostoc linckia, Synechococcus elongatus, and Chlorococcum sp.)으로 제한적이고, 독성 종말점은 세포계수나 광합성 색소 측정에 국한되어 있다. 또한 노출매체는 액체배지, 토양추출액(soil extract), 토양공극수(porewater), 한천배지, 토양 등 총 5종으로, 액체배지와 토양추출액이 대부분을 차지하며, 토양에서 분리된 조류를 이용하거나 토양 추출액을 이용하는 연구가 대부분이라 토양 매체에서의 직접적인 연구는 미비하다. 따라서 토양 오염으로 인한 생태계 건강성 저하를 방지하기 위하여 필요한 생태위해성평가는 토양 매체에서의 전반적인 종 민감도 분포 파악이 선행되어야 하므로, 토양 관련 조류 시험종 및 종말점 개발이 필요하다.

The objective of this research was to review the correlation between microalgae and agricultural water quality. Although microalgae has been considered as an essential factor for control1ing of water ecosystem, little attention has been paid for evaluating of microalgae as an important factor for water quality management. But it can be use to make us know the water pollution state at saprobic system, LTSI (Lake Tropic State Index), DAIpo (Diatom Assemblage Index to Organic Pollution), and AGP (Algal growth potential). In saprobic system, it is used microalgae such as Actinastrum hantzschii var. fluviatile, Asterionella gracillima, Coelastrum microporum, Synedra acus, Dictyosphaerium pulchellum, Micractinium pusillum, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Microcystis aeruginosa, Scenedesmus quadricauda, and Nitzschia palea for assessment water quality. In addition, they have ecologically significant characteristics such as dominant species, cosmopolitan species, redtide causative species etc. Also, microalgae such as Botryococcus braunii, B. sp., Chlorella vulgaris, C. sp., Phormidium sp., Scenedesmus quadricauda, Selenastrum capricornutum, Spirulina maxima, and S. platensis have an effect on improvement of water quality.

Potential feasibility of nutrients removal and biofuel production with microalgae was evaluated in batch culture. Distribution of microalgae in fresh water including reservoir and river was investigated to search for the species with high content of lipid that could converted into biofuel. Green algae, Chlorella and Scenedesmus sp., these are known as species containing high lipid content for biodiesel production, were observed in both summer and autumn season. However another highly lipid-containing species, botryococcus sp. was not observed in this study. In mixed culture of microalgae using synthesized wastewater medium, green algae were found to be dominant, comparing to other species of diatoms and blue-green algae. And microalgae were also capable of removing nitrogen and phosphorus in batch experiments. During the culture period of 14 days, removal efficiencies of nitrate and phosphorus were 30% and 82%, respectively. Furthermore, content of the intracellular lipid extracted from algae cell was as favorable as 12-30% in the mixed culture where Scenedesmus and Chlorella sp. were dominant. Therefore the mixed culture of microalgae could be applied to biofuel production and tertiary wastewater treatment, even though there are economic barriers to overcome.

A study on the seasonal changes in the phytoplankton community was carried out in four aquaculture ponds of Bangladesh over a period of 16 months from August 2000 to November 2001. Out of 45 phytoplankton species identified, 30 belong to Cyanophyceae, 7 to Chlorophyceae, 5 to Bacillariophyceae and 3 to Euglenophyceae. The highest phytoplankton abundance was observed in spring followed by early autumn, summer, and the lowest was in winter. The annual succession of Cyanophyceae was characterized by spring and early autumn period dominated by Microcystis sp. Anabaena sp. and Planktolymbya sp. with Microcystis sp. as the main blue-green algae represented. Chlorophyceae was characterized by rainy season domination of Chlorella vulgaris, Pediastrum sp. and Scenedesmus denticulatus with maximum abundance of Chlorella vulgaris. Whereas Bacillariophyceae was dominant during the winter period. Navicula angusta and Cyclotella meneghiniana were the most frequently occurring species of Bacillariophyceae throughout the study period. Euglenophyceae was dominant in late autumn and Euglena sp. was the dominant species. The effect of various physicochemical water quality parameters on the seasonal distribution and succession of the above mentioned phytoplankton population as well as the interaction and eutrophication are discussed.

축산폐수는 과량의 질소와 인을 함유하고 있어서 호소의 부영양화로 수질을 악화시키기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 2차 처리된 돈폐수를 대상으로 조류를 이용하여 폐수 내 질소와 인을 효율적으로 제거하고자 조류의 선별 및 배양의 최적화 실험을 수행하였다. Chlorella vulgaris (UTEX 265), Chlorella sp. GE 21, Botryococcus braunii(UTEX 572), Botryocorcus sp. GE 24, Scenedesmus quadricauda, Phormidium sp. GE 2, 그리고 Spirulina maxima(UTEX 2342)의 7종을 대상으로 조사한 결과 C. vulgaris(UTEX 265)가 질소와 인의 제거 뿐만 아니라 미세조류의 생산량도 우수하였다. 다음 실험에 사용될 미세조류로 선별된 C. vulgaris는 수온 35$^{\circ}C$에서 생장이 가장 좋았으며, 약 알칼리인 초기 pH 8.0에서 생장이 우수하였다. 미세조류의 생산 및 질소와 인의 제거에 있어 광도의 영향을 조사한 결과 40 ${\mu}$E/$m^2$/s 이하에서는 조류의 생장이 억제 받았으나, 그 이상의 광도에서는 비슷한 결과를 얻었다. 시료로 사용된 돈폐수의 질소와 인 농도는 각기 58.7 mg/l와 14.7 mg/l로 조사되었으며, 대상 폐수를 75%(돈폐수:지하수=3:1)로 희석하였을 때 질소와 인의 제거효율과 미세조류의 생산이 우수하였고, 희석하지 않은 경우 lag time은 길어졌으나 점차로 질소와 인이 제거되었다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 최적 조건하에서 25%의 돈폐수를 처리한 결과 4일 후 폐수중의 총질소는 95.3%가 총인은 96.0%가 제거되었다.

This study evaluated the growth and nutrient removal ability of an indigenous algal consortium on real untreated municipal wastewater in a high rate algal pond (HRAP). The HRAP was operated semicontinuously under different hydraulic retention times (HRT: 2, 4, 6, and 8 days). The average removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand, and total nitrogen and phosphate of real municipal wastewater were maintained at $85.44{\pm}5.10%$, $92.74{\pm}5.82%$, and $82.85{\pm}8.63%$, respectively, in 2 day HRT. Algae dominated the consortium and showed high settling efficiency (99%), and biomass and lipid productivity of $0.50{\pm}0.03g/l/day$ and $0.103{\pm}0.0083g/l/day$ (2day HRT), respectively. Fatty acid methyl ester analysis revealed a predominance of palmitate (C16:0), palmitoleate (C16:1), linoleate (C18:2), and linolenate (C18:3). Microalgal diversity analyses determined the presence of Chlorella, Scenedesmus, and Stigeoclonium as the dominant microalgae. The algal consortium provides significant value not only in terms of energy savings and nutrient removal but also because of its bioenergy potential as indicated by the lipid content (20-23%) and FAME profiling.
