본 연구는 연속행동모니터링시스템(CBMS)을 사용하여 저온 충격에 노출된 참돔 Pagrus major 치어의 행동반응에 대한 임계 수온 및 행동 내성 반응을 규명하였다. 실험생물의 행동은 8.0~20.0℃ 수온구간에서 12시간과 24시간 마다 각각 2.0℃와 4.0℃씩 하강시키며 관찰하였다. 참돔 치어는 12.0℃ 이하로 수온이 하강한 경우 수온 노출시간과 변동 폭에 관계없이 유영활동이 감소하고 정지가 반복되는 불안정한 행동패턴이 관찰되었다. 또한 8.0~10.0℃ 수온에 노출된 생물의 유영능력은 급격히 저하되어 수조 바닥에서 머무르는 아치사 반응 행동을 보였다. 실험어류는 저 수온 스트레스 영향을 받아 생물의 50 %만 생존하였으며, 저온 충격(cold shock) 후 6시간 이내에 모든 개체가 사망하였다. 또한 행동지수(BI)는 급격히 감소하였으며 변이계수(CV)의 진폭변화는 타 수온보다 변동 폭이 큰 것으로 분석되었다(p<0.05). 참돔 치어의 저온 스트레스는 12.0℃를 경계로 촉진되며, 8.0~10.0℃의 저온 충격에 노출된 생물의 아치사 반응을 유발시키는 내성한계인 것으로 해석된다.

Aromatic hydrocarbons can be utilized as carbon and energy sources by some microorganisms at lower concentrations. However, they can also act as stresses to these organisms at higher concentrations. Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 is capable of degrading 0.5 mM concentration of benzoate and 4-chlorobenzoate (4CBA). In this study, the exposure of Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 to the pollutant stresses of benzoate and 4CBA at various concentrations was comparatively studied for its cellular responses, including survival tolerance, degradability of the aromatics, and morphological changes. Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 utilized 0.5 to 1.0mM benzoate and 4CBA as carbon and energy sources for growth. However, the organism could not degrade the aromatics at concentrations of 3 mM or higher, resulting in reduced cell viability due to the destruction of the cell envelopes. Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 cells produced stress-shock proteins such as DnaK and GroEL when treated with benzoate and 4CBA at concentrations of 0.5mM, or higher as sublethal dosage; Yet, there were differing responses between the cells treated with either benzoate or 4CBA. 4CBA affected the degradability of the cells more critically than benzoate. The DnaK and GroEL stress-shock proteins were produced either by 1mM benzoate with 5 min treatment or by higher concentrations after 10min. The proteins were also induced by 0.5mM 4CBA, however, it needed at least 20min treatment or longer. These results indicate that the chlorination of benzoate increased the recalcitrance of the pollutant aromatics and changed the conditions to lower concentrations and longer treatment times for the production of stress-shock proteins. of stress-shock proteins produced by the aromatics at sublethal concentrations functioned interactively between the aromatics for survival tolerance to lethal concentrations.

Changes in protein metabolism were studied in hemolymph and fat body on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 of the fifth-instar silkworm, Bombyx mori, exposed to lethal, sublethal doses and prevailing levels of fluoride in groundwater in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh States of India. The total protein content indicated a depletion followed by a concomitant increase in accumulation of free amino acids. Concurrently, the activity of protease in both of the tissues was also increased. A steady enhancement in the activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase paralleled the elevation of glutamate dehydrogenase activity in the tissues studied. It is presumed, on the basis of these results, that the fluoride toxicity causes major changes in protein metabolism of the silkworms.

Effects of temperature, pH, and salt concentration on the preservation of the infective juvenile entolopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae, were analyzed. The effects of acclimation to sublethal low temperature and glycerol concentrations on rapid cold hardening of the nematodes were also evaluated to set up the conditions for their cryopreservation. All tested environmental factors could change the storage effectiveness of the nematodes. These analyses indicated that the optinal storage condition for the nematodes consisted of $15^{\circ}C$, pH 8.5, and 0.5-1.0% salt concentration. The nematodes showed a rapid could hardening in response to $5^{\circ}C$ for 2h. Glycerol induced the nematodes to increase the cold hardiness. Its high concentration over 10%, however, gave a harmful effect on the nematode survival.

Natural zooplankton communities are composed of many different species at different trophic levels in the aquatic food web. Several researchers have reported that in mesocosm/enclosure experiments, larger cladocerans tend to be more sensitive to carbamate insecticides than smaller ones (Daphnia > Moina, Diaphanosoma > Bosmina). In contrast, results from individual-level laboratory tests have suggested that large cladoceran species are more tolerant than small species. To clarify this inconsistency, we conducted a microcosm experiment using model zooplankton communities with different species compositions, where animals were exposed to lethal (near to the 24 h LC50, concentration estimated to kill 50% of individuals within 24-h for the small cladoceran Bosmina) and lower, sublethal concentrations of carbaryl. In the experiment, population densities of the small cladocerans (Bosmina and Bosminopsis) decreased subsequent to the applications of chemical, but no impacts were observed on the large cladoceran Daphnia. Our results supported the reports of previous individual level toxicity tests, and indicated that the sensitivity of zooplankton to the insecticide was unchanged by biological interactions but the response of population can be modified by compensation of population through hatching from resting eggs and/or the persistence of insecticide in the systems.

To evaluate the impact of parathion on aquatic organisms, a freshwater bagrid catfish (Pseudobagrus fulvidraco) was exposed to sublethal concentrations $(63,\;95,\;190\;and\;380\;{\mu}g/L)$ of parathion, organophosphorus pesticide for 30 days. Glucose level in the serum of the bagrid catfish was significantly increased than that of control groups in the $190\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration at 30 days and in the $380\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration after 10 days. Bilirubin level was significantly increased in the $190\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration at the end of the experiment. After 10 days, a significant differences of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity increased in the ${\geq}190\;{\mu}g/L$ and $380\;{\mu}g/L$ groups. Though cholesterol concentration was stable, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities in serum were significantly reduced in the $190\;{\mu}g/L$ at 10 days and in the $380\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration at the end of the experiment. In conclusion, if P. fulvidraco was chronically exposed to ${\geq}190\;{\mu}g/L$ concentration of parathion, the hematological changes may be induced due to the stress response.

방향족 탄화수소 화학물질들은 자연계에 오염되면 미생물에 의한 분해가 미미하여 장기 축적됨으로써 생명체에 독성을 나타낸다. 이러한 방향족 탄화수소가 준치사 수준의 농도로 미생물에 노출되면 stress-shock 단백질을 합성하거나 세포 구성물질에 생화학적 변화가 일어나 적응현상이 나타나게 된다. 본 연구에서는 Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12를 여러 가지 농도의 catechol 로 처리했을 때 나타나는 stress-shock 단백질의 합성양상과 함께 세포의 형태와 생존을 위한 내성의 변화를 연구하였다. Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12는 0.5~1mM 의 catechol 이 6시간 배양 후 60% 이상이 분해되었으나, 3mM 도는 그 이상의 농도에서는 전혀 분해되지 않앗고 생존 세포수는 30시간 처리 했을 때부터 \10^2$ cell/ml 또는 그 이상이 사멸되었다. DnaK는 1mM 이상의 catechol 로 10분간 처리할 때 유도 생성되었고, GroEL은 0.5 mM 이상에서 생성되었다. 10mM 의 catechol로 처리한 Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 의 세포는 세포벽에 구멍이 생겼으며 간균의 형태가 일그러지는 변화가 관찰되었다. 준치사 농도인 1mM의 catechol 이나 benzoate 또는 4-chlorobenzoate 로 전처리한 Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12는 stress-shock 단백질이 합성되었을 뿐 아니라, 치사 농도인 10mM 의 catechol에서 tolerance를 나타내었다.
