In order to understand the spatial distribution of picocyanobacterial diversity during the summer in the northern East China Sea (ECS), their abundance and genetic diversity were investigated using flow cytometry and barcoded amplicon pyrosequencing of 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer sequences. Synechococcus abundance was high, with a range of $0.2{\times}10^5$ to $1.8{\times}10^5$ cells $ml^{-1}$. However, Prochlorococcus were found only in the eastern part of the studied area, showing a marked variation among stations [range of n.d. (not detected) to $3.3{\times}10^4$ cells $ml^{-1}$]. Eleven Synechococcus clades and five Prochlorococcus ecotypes were found to have a proportion higher than 1% among picocyanobacterial sequences, indicating high picocyanobacterial diversity in the ECS. The picocyanobacterial compositions were markedly different among stations, as well as among depths. Inflow of the Tsushima Warm Current and Changjiang diluted water was of primary importance in determining picocyanobacterial lineage diversity in the studied area. In addition, light intensity and nutrient conditions also appeared to be important in the vertical and horizontal distribution of picocyanobacterial diversity.

In this study, we attempted to characterize the Synechococcus sp. pee 7942 mutant resultant from a disruption in the gene encoding UDP-glucose: tetrahydrobiopterin a-glucosyltransferase (BGluT). 2D­PAGE followed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry revealed that phycocyanin rod linker protein 33K was one of the proteins expressed at lower level in the BGluT mutant. BGluT mutant cells were also determined to be more sensitive to high light stress. This is because photosynthetic O$_2$ exchange rates were significantly decreased, due to the reduced number of functional PSIs relative to the wild type cells. These results suggested that, in Synechococcus sp. pee 7942, BH4-glucoside might be involved in photosynthetic photoprotection.

To elucidate the mechanisms by which algal food quality affect Daphnia growths, we measured carbon incorporation rates and respiration rates of Daphnia magna with Cryptomonad Rhodomonas minuta, green algae Scenedesmus acutus and cyanobacteria Synechococcus sp. with varying physiological states as food. Carbon assimilation rates were high with R. minuta and S. acutus and low with Synechococcus sp. showing a similar pattern to the growth rate pattern. There was no clear difference among respiration rates of three algal species. Carbon assimilation rates and respiration rates of D. magna appeared to be independent on Molar C:P ratios in algal foods. Carbon growth efficiencies (incorporated carbon per assimilated carbon amount) were lower when D. magna fed with Synechococcus sp. than fed with R. minuta or S. acutus. Analysis of variance results show that carbon assimilation rates which were sum of incorporation and respiration rates and carbon growth efficiencies were only dependant on species affiliation. Overall, our results showed that algal species with varying ${\omega}3$ polyunsaturated fatty acid content led different carbon incorporation rates and overall carbon assimilation rates of D. magna.

The effects of environmental forcing on autotrophic picoplankton distributional patterns were investigated for convergence ($5^{\circ}N$), divergence ($9^{\circ}N-10^{\circ}30'N$) and oligotrophic ($17^{\circ}N$) sites in the tropical eastern Pacific during 2001 and 2003 KODOS (Korea Deep Ocean Study) cruises. The distributions of picoplankton populations - Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus and picoeukaryotes algae - were determined by flow cytometric analyses. Latitudinal variations in abundance maxima, vertical profiles, integrated abundance (0-150 m), and estimated carbon biomass were contrasted for each site according to three hydrological conditions. Prochlorococcus showed consistently high abundance in the surface mixed layers of all sites at $1\;{\times}\;10^5{\sim}3\;{\times}\;10^5\;cells\;ml^{-1}$ and showed declining abundance below these layers. However, these decreasing rates were not particularly sharp showing considerably high abundance at $1\;{\times}\;10^4\;cells\;ml^{-1}$ or higher even at 100 m depth. Vertical profiles of Synechococcus and picoeukaryotes were generally parallel to each other in all sites. A clear abundance maximum was observed at divergence site at or slightly above the pycnocline depth. Higher abundance was observed at the surface mixed layer for convergence site but a sharp decrease was observed below the pycnocline. However, there was no significant abundance fluctuation with depth at more oligotrophic site ($17^{\circ}N$). Integrated cell abundance of Prochlorococcus was high in the oligotrophic site at $2.17\;{\times}\;10^{13}\;m^{-2}$, and low in the convergence site at $0.88\;{\times}\;10^{13}\;m^{-2}$. However, opposite pattern was observed for Synechococcus and picoeukaryotes where relatively high integrated cell abundance was shown in the convergence site. Estimated carbon biomass of Prochlorococcus contributed 30.4-80.3% of total autotrophic picoplankton carbon showing the highest contribution in the oligotrophic site and the lowest contribution in the convergence site. Synechococcus contribution of total autotrophic picoplantkon carbon biomass was lower than 5.8% for most of sites except the convergence site where Synechococcus contributed 23.2% of picoplankton carbon biomass. Carbon biomass of picoeukaryotes was 18.8-46.4% showing the highest carbon biomass at the convergence site. Overall, Prochlorococcus showed higher cell abundance and carbon biomass and exhibited different reaction to hydrological conditions when compare with the other two major autotrophic picoplankton groups.

열대 남태평양에 위치한 축 라군에서 flow cytometry와 HPLC를 이용 초미소 식물플랑크톤 조사를 하였다. Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus 그리고 picoeukaryotes의 풍도와 지시색소 분포 양상을 분석하였고 추정된 탄소 생체량에서의 기여율을 조사하였다. 남세균인 Synechococcus와 Prochlorococcus는 축 라군에서 대비되는 분포 특성을 보였다. Synechococcus는 웨노섬 주변 정점에서 높은 풍도를 보인 반면, 북동수로 쪽으로 멀어지며 풍도가 감소하였다. Prochlorococcus는 이와 반대의 분포특성을 나타냈으며, picoeukaryotes는 특정적인 수역별 변화를 보이지 않았다. Prochlorococcus의 지시색소인 divinyl chlorophyll a (Chl. $\alpha2$)는 $1.2\sim180.3\;ng\;L^{-1}$의 농도 범위를 보였으며, 웨노섬 주변 정점들보다 북동수로에 접한 정점들에서 높게 나타났다. 이는 Prochlorococcus의 풍도와 유사한 분포로서, chl. a2가 생체량의 좋은 지표임을 나타냈다. 반면 zeaxanthin은 $61.4\sim135.8\;ng\;L^{-1}$의 농도 범위로 정점별 변화가 풍도변화에 비해 작은 특징을 보였는데 이는 Prochlorococcus로부터 유래된 zeaxanthin의 영향으로 판단된다. Synechococcus의 추정된 탄소 생체량은 전체 초미소 식물플랑크톤 생체량의 68%를 차지하였다. Prochlorococcus와 picoeukaryotes는 각각 17.1%와 14.9%의 생체량을 나타냈다.

환경특성이 초미소 식물플랑크톤의 분포에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 서태평양의 열대와 아열대 수역(TSWP)과 동해에서 2002년 9월 조사를 하였고, 동중국해 대륙붕수역 (C-ECS)은 2003년 8월에 조사를 수행하였다. 초미소 식물플랑크톤은 flow cytometry 방법을 이용 Synechoroccus, Prorhlorococcus 그리고 picoeukaryotes의 3개체군으로 구분 계수하였다. 물리화학적 환경이 상이한 3곳의 조사수역 별로 초미소 식물플랑크콘들의 수직분포, 100m 수심까지 적분된 풍도를 비교하였다. 분석결과 synechococcus와 Prochlorococcus의 적분된 개체수는 3곳의 조사수역에서 서로 상반되는 결과를 보였다. Synechococcus는 TSWP에서 정점평균 $84.5X10^{10}\;cells\;m^{-2}$의 풍도를, C-ECS에서 $305.6X10^{10}\;cells\;m^{-2}$를 동해에선 $124.5X10^{10}\;cells\;m^{-2}$의 풍도를 보여 영영염이 풍부한 지역에서 풍도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이에 반해 Prochlorococcus는 빈 영양 환경의 TSWP에서 $504.5X10^{10}\;cells\;m^{-2}$의 가장 높은 풍도를 보였으며, 영양염 환경이 양호한 C-ECS에서 낮은 풍도를 보이는 독특한 분포양상을 나타냈다. Picoeukaryotes는 Synechococcus와 유사한 지역적 변화를 보였으나 풍도는 약 1/10정도를 나타냈다. Synechococcus와 picoeukaryotes는 모든 정점에서 출현한 반면 Prochlorococcus는 일반적으로 C-ECS와 동해의 저염 환경에서 출현하지 많았다. Synechococcus와 Prochlorococcus의 수층별 평균 풍도의 수직분포는 표면 혼합층에서 유사한 수준을 보이다 이심에서 급격한 감소를 나타냈다. 그러나 TSWP에선 풍도의 급격한 감소가 나타나지 많고 100 m 수심까지 높은 풍도를 나타냈다. Picoeukaryotes는 C-ECS에서 100 m까지 유사한 수준의 풍도를 보였으며, 동해의 $20\sim30\;m$ 수심에선 최대 풍도층이 나타났다.

This study focused on the optimization of the illumination method for efficient use of light energies in a photobioreactor. In order to investigate the effect of radiator position, a model simulation study was carried out using Synechococcus sp. PCC 6301 and an internally radiating photobioreactor as a model system. The efficiency of light transfer in a photobioreactor was analyzed by estimating the average light intensity in a photobioreactor. The simulation result, indicate that there exists an optimal position of internal radiators, and that the optimal position varies with radiator number and cell concentration. When light radiators are placed at the optimal position, the average light intensity is about 30% higher than that obtained by placing radiators at the circumstance or center of a photobioreactor. The method presented in this work may be useful for improving light transfer efficiency in a photobioreactor.

The effect of exogenous oxygen on hydrogen photoproduction was examined in the synchronously grown cells of marine Synechococcus sp. Miami BG 043511 under conditions of high cell density (0.6-0.8 mg chl-${\alpha}$ $ml^{-1}$) and high light intensity (1000 ${\mu}$E $m^{-2}$ $s^{-1}$). Hydrogen evolution after 20-h incubation did not decline under the initial oxygen concentrations up to 20%, but declined by half under 34% oxygen. 50% and 100% oxygen gas phase did not completely inhibit the hydrogen photoproduction during 40-h incubations. After 2-day pretreatment under 100% exogenous oxygen the hydrogen photoproduction capabilities were not irreversibly inhibited, which was demonstrated in the subsequent 9-day incubation under initial 0, 50 and even under 100% oxygen gas phase. This strain could be useful for developing a hydrogen photoproduction system under atmospheric oxygen concentration.
