Several marine bacterial strains were isolated from Undaria pinnatifida (Miyok in Korean). Sixty-six strains were isolated on R2A agar media at $10^{\circ}C$ and identified by a phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences. They were grouped into 10 different sequence types based on the initial sequence analysis of the 5' domain of the gene (approximately 500 bp). Full sequences of 16S rRNA gene, were obtained from one strain in each sequence type and the species-affiliation was determined using phylogenetic and sequence similarity analyses. The results of the analyses indicated that they were closely related to Psychrobacter aquimaris, P. celer, P. nivimaris, P. pulmonis, Psychromonas arctica or Bacillus psychrodurans. These bacteria are marine or psychrotrophic bacteria. Because the sporophytes of U. pinnatifida are cultured on the costal area during winter, the U. pinnatifida-associated bacteria appeared to grow at low temperatures. U. pinnatifida sporophytes can be a good source for the isolation of psychrotrophic bacteria.

Primary structure of purified fucoidans was analysed by methanolysis, methylation and HT-IR measurement. Basic linkage in the fucoidans of Laminaria religiosa, sporophylls of Undaria pinnatifida, Hizikia fusiforme and Sargassum fuivellum from Korea was $(1\rightarrow3)$ linkage of fucose, but a considerable amount of $(1\rightarrow3)$ linked galactose was also found in case of the purified fucoidan from sporophylls of U. pinnatifida. Ester sulfate was substituted mainly to C-4 position of fucose and galactose.

The Undaria pinnatifida collected in the waters of Dongbaek Island were grouped into young and adult ones and calcium and iron contents of each were analyzed by parts, i.e., separately for blade, stripe, and sporophyll by potassium permanganate titration method and spectrophotometric method respectively (O-phenanthrolin used). The results showed that the blades contain higher percentage of calcium than other parts both in young and adult seaweeds and that proportionately twice as much iron is contained in the blades than in the stripes.

The biosorption performances of copper were investigated by the immobilized biomass of nonliving marine brown algae Undaria pinnatifida by each of the Ca-alginate method(Ca-ALG), Ba-alginate method(Ba-ALG), polyethylene glycol method(PEG), and carrageenan method (CARR). The copper removal performance increased but the copper uptake decreased as the biomass amount was increased. However, the copper uptake by the immobilized biomass increased with increasing initial copper concentration. Among the immobilization methods, the copper uptake decreased in the following sequence: Ca-ALG > Ba-ALG > PEG > CARR. The pattern of copper uptake by the immobilized biomass fitted the Langmuir isotherm better than the Freundlich isotherm. Desorption of deposited copper with 0.05 ~0.5M HCI, resulted in no changes of the copper uptake capacity of the immobilized biomass by the immobilization methods except for PEG, through five subsequent biosorption/desorption cycles. There was no damage to the immobilized biomass which retained its macroscopic appearance in repeated copper uptake/elution cycles.

Algal flora and community structure of benthic marine algae in the subtidal zone, Yeongil Bay area were studied. The number of algal species in the quadrats were identified totally 78: 2 Cyanophyta, 10 Chlorophyta, 19 Phaeophyta, and 47 Rhodophyta. The dominant species based on biomass were Sargassum hornerii, Undaria pinnatifida, and Sargassum thunbergii. Vertical distribution was clear by the representative algae such as, Undaria pinnatifida, Sargassum thunbergii, Sargassum horneri, Corallina spp. in the upper subtidal zone, Undaria pinnatifida, Sargassum horneri, Caulerpa okamurae in the middle zone, and Dictyopteris divaricata in the lower zone.

Undaria pinnatifida (UP) has long been ingested by woman who was delivered of a child. The present study was investigated to find out the contractive compound from UP and the contractive mechanism. The active extract, MeOH extract was partitioned with $CHCl_3$ and water. Whereas potassium iodide and alginic acid do not affected the uterus contraction, $CHCl_3$ extract significantly increased uterus contraction in vitro and in situ studies. The contraction by $CHCl_3$ extract was not blocked by atropine, prazosin and propranolol. Blood estrogen level was not changed by $CHCl_3$ extract.

The contents of total lipids from Korean marine benthic algae Miyeok(Undaria pinnatifida) and Pare(Enteromorpha compressa)were 1.8% and 0.7% on the dry basis, respectively. They were fractionated by silicic acid column chromatography and identified by gae liquid chromatography. The ratios of neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids in total lipids were 3.5 : 74.1 : 22.4 in Miyeok and 33.1 : 48.4 : 18.5 in Pare. Total fatty acids in Miyeok and Pare were composed of 28.5 and 33.2% of saturates, 9.8 and 10.8% of monoenes, 61.7 and 56.0% of polyenes, respectively and the polyunsaturated acid was the most predominent component. $\omega$-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were C18:4(15.9 and 17.1%) and C20:5(10.6 and 6.0%).

The uptake and retention of strontium-90 from seawater by the seaweed Undaria pinnatifda(sea mustard) varied depending on the plant part, exposure time, salinity, contents of stable strontium and calcium, and presence of chelating agent in the seawater. The concentration factors attained at equilibrium were in the range of 50 and it was evident that the bioaccumulation was largely due to the adsorption of the radionuclide on the surface of seaweed.

Both sexes of a new species of Miraciidae belonging to the genus Amonardia Lang, 1948 are described. All materials collected from the cultivated brown alga, Undaria pinnatifida of Gijang, Korea. So far only one species, A. normani (Brady, 1872) from the algal bed at Jindo Island was recorded in Korea. The new species can easily be distinguished from its congeners by the combination of characters as follows: (1) shape of first antennular segment in female, (2) setal formular of mandible and maxillule, (3) setae of female sixth leg in female, and (4) shape of P2 endopod and exopod of fifth leg in male.

Marine algae(Macro algae) are easily bio-degradable, and by-products are available as feed and fertilizer. The biomass of marine algae has higher CO2 absorption capacity than the wood system, and is highly valuable in use due to its fast growth speed and wide cultivation area without special cost for raw material production. In 2018, Marine algae production was 1,722,486ton, such as Saccharina japonica, Undaria pinnatifida and Porphyra tenera, the large amounts of by-products have been generated in the food processing facilities for commercialization. In this study, Saccharina japonica, Undaria pinnatifida were collected in the south coast region and Porphyra tenera was collected in the west coast region. The theoretical methane potential and biochemical methane potential(BMP) were analyzed, and Modified Gompertz model and Parallel first order kinetics model were adopted for the interpretation of the cumulative methane production curves. The theoretical methane potential of Saccharina japonica, Undaria pinnatifida and Porphyra tenera were 0.393, 0.373 and 0.435 N㎥/kg-VS, respectively. BMP obtained by the Modified gompertz model 0.226, 0.227, and 0.241 N㎥/kg-VS for Saccharina japonica, Undaria pinnatifida and Porphyra tenera, respectively. And BMP obtained by the Parallel first order kinetics model were 0.220, 0.243, and 0.240 N㎥/kg-VS for Saccharina japonica, Undaria pinnatifida and Porphyra tenera, respectively.
