To maximize and sustain the productivity of Monascus pigments, various environmental and nutritional parameters, such as the initial moisture content, pH, inoculum size, sample size, and nutrient supplement, that influence pigment production were evaluated in solid-state cultures as follows: initial moisture content, $50\%;$ pH, 6.0; inoculum size $1\;\times\;10^4$ spore cells $(grams\;of\;dry\;solid\;substrate)^{-1};$ sample size, 300 g. All supplementary nutrients (carbon, nitrogen, and mineral sources) added has inhibitory effects on the cell growth and red pigment production. In open tray culture the maximum biomass yield and specific productivity of red pigments were 223 mg DCW $(grams\;of\;initial\;dry\;substrate)^{-1}$ and, $47.6\;OD_{500}\;(DCW\;grams)^{-1}h^h{-1}$ respectively.

50개의 폴리프로필렌 실관과 3개의 테르폰 실관으로 구성된 실관반응기에서 Saccharomyces cerevisiae효모를 이용하여 알콜의 연속 생산을 연구하였다. 생산된$CO_2$는 테프론 실관으로 내어 보냈고 과잉효모 세포는 shell-side를 통하여 제거하였다. Shell-side 부피를 기준으로 세포농도는 266g/L였고 알콜 생산성은 205g/L를 얻었다. 질소 결핍배지를 사용했을 경우 생산성이 너무 낮아 실제 응용할 가치는 없었다.

Ethanol fermentation by Scccharomyces cervisiae was carried out in the cell recycle filter system with a cheap fabric filter having a pore size of 10${\mu}$m. Maximum biomass concentrations up to 85g/1 were obtained, but in practice operational concentrations were between 50 and 80g/1. Ethanol productivity was 42g/1-hr, with an ethanol concentration of 66g/1 and an ethanol yield of over 86%. Continuous operation was possible by applying periodic backflushing. The ethanol fermentation could be carried out without difficulty at a dilution rate up to 0.8h-1 In order to obtain a high cell concentration and ethanol productivity, development of filter module with the larger filtration area is required.

전남 모후산지역 소나무-굴참나무 혼효림을 대상으로 종간경쟁의 양상과 물질생산력을 파악하기 위하여 $10m{\times}10m$ 조사구 10개를 설치한 후 매목조사를 실시하고 소나무와 굴참나무 각 8주씩 총 16주의 표본목을 선정 벌목하여 성장특성, 물질생산구조, 현존량, 순생산량 등을 조사하였다. 평균 수령은 소나무 33년, 굴참나무는 26년이였으며, 소나무림 초기에 굴참나무가 침입한 후 상층임관에서 종간경쟁을 하고 있는 초기단계의 임분이었다. 굴참나무는 동일 수령일 때의 소나무에 비하여 수령 15년 이전까지는 흉고직경과 수고가 모두 컸으며, 수령 15년 이후에는 흉고직경은 작은 반면 수고는 수령 15년 이전보다 큰 차이로 높았다. 동일 흉고직경일 때 생산기관인 잎의 건중량은 수종간 별 차이가 없었으나, 축적기관인 줄기의 목질부, 수피, 가지의 건중량은 흉고직경이 증가할수록 굴참나무가 소나무에 비하여 큰 차이로 많아지는 경향이었다. 굴참나무는 소나무에 비하여 순동화율이 높고 현존량축적율이 낮았다. 이상을 종합하면 소나무-굴참나무 혼효림에서 굴참나무는 소나무에 비하여 수고성장이 빠르고, 동일 흉고직경일 때 잎의 건중량은 유사한 반면 생산능률이 높으며, 현존량축적율이 낮기 때문에 종간갱쟁에서 우위에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 소나무-굴참나무혼효림의 지상부 전체 현존량은 87.7t/ha, 순생산량은 8.3t/ha/yr이었다.

Microalgae, as photosynthetic organisms, possess the ability to produce a diverse array of bioactive compounds. This study focused on the transformant Chlamydomonas reinhardtii dZL and subjected it to cultivation under varying light intensities (60, 120, 180, and 240 µmol/m²/s). Our aim was to assess the impact of light intensity on both microalgal biomass and carotenoid production. The cultivation took place in 80 mL bubble column photobioreactors, specifically the Multi-cultivator. Notably, the culture exposed to 240 µmol/m²/s exhibited the most rapid cell growth, surpassing even the cell concentration achieved at 180 µmol/m²/s by day 8. A detailed analysis of the specific irradiance rate over time unequivocally revealed a sharp decline in growth rates when the rate fell below 2 × 10^-10 µmol/cell/s. Although the culture with 60 µmol/m²/s yielded the highest carotenoid content (1.2% of dry weight), the culture exposed to 240 µmol/m²/s recorded the highest carotenoid concentration at 8.9 mg/L owing to its higher biomass. Our findings reveal the critical importance of maintaining a specific irradiance rate above 2 × 10^-10 µmol/cell/s to enhance biomass and carotenoid productivity. This study lays the groundwork for defining optimal light intensity conditions applicable to mass culture systems, with the objective of augmenting C. reinhardtii biomass and optimizing carotenoid productivity.

The high rate algal ponds (HRAP) powered and mixed by a paddlewheel have been widely used for over 50 years to culture microalgae for the production of various products. Since light incidence is limited to the surface, water depth can affect microalgal growth in HRAP. To investigate the effect of water depth on microalgal growth, a mixed microalgal culture constituting three major strains of microalgae including Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp., and Stigeoclonium sp. (CSS), was grown at different water depths (20, 30, and 40 cm) in the HRAP, respectively. The HRAP with 20cm of water depth had about 38% higher biomass productivity per unit area ($6.16{\pm}0.33g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$) and required lower nutrients and energy consumption than the other water depths. Specifically, the algal biomass of HRAP under 20cm of water depth had higher settleability through larger floc size (83.6% settleability within 5 min). These results indicate that water depth can affect the harvesting process as well as cultivation of microalgae. Therefore, we conclude that water depth is an important parameter in HRAP design for mass cultivation of microalgae.

본 연구는 Kitanada 만에 있어서 식물플랑크톤 생체량의 변동기구에 대한 세기와 주기성이 다른 두 가지 형태의 외양수유입 (급조(急潮) 및 bottom intrusion)의 영향을 만의 환경조건을 고려한 수식모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 외양수 유입의 간격이 길어지고 진폭이 작아짐에 따라 만 내의 식물플랑크톤 생체량이 커졌으나, 이와는 반대로, 유입간격이 짧아지고 진폭이 커질수록 식물플랑크톤의 성장률은 높아졌다. 이 결과는 유입이 약해짐에 따라 만의 해수교환이 감소하고 만내의 식물플랑크톤이 높은 밀도로 축적됨을 시사하였다. 또한, 외양수유입에 의해 해수교환이 활발해짐에 따라 빛의 효율적 이용이 가능하여 식물플랑크톤의 성장률이 향상되었다.

본 연구는 혐기성 소화조에서 바이오 가스 생산을 위한 바이오매스 자원으로서 Chlorella vulagaris와 Dunaliella salina의 이용능력을 확인하였다. 세포벽의 구조에 따라 전처리 후 용해성 물질의 수율이 영향을 받았는데, 이는 D. salina가 바이오 가스 생산 측면에서 C. vulgaris보다 좋은 후보라는 것을 보여준다. 혐기성 소화조에서 얻은 접종원으로부터 전처리하거나 전처리하지 않은 D. salina를 기질로서 메탄가스를 생산하는데 이용하였을 때 메탄 수율 측면에서 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 D. salina는 높은 바이오매스 생산성, 단순한 전처리 필요성, 쉬운 바이오 가스전환 때문에 바이오 가스 생산을 위한 적합한 해조류 바이오매스이다.

There is growing interest in the production of microalgae-based, high-value by-products as an emerging green biotechnology. However, a cultivation platform for Oocystis sp. has yet to be established. We therefore examined the effects of bacterial culture additions on the growth and production of valuable compounds of the microalgal strain Oocystis sp. KNUA044, isolated from a locally adapted region in Korea. The strain grew only in the presence of a clear supernatant of Sphingomonas sp. KNU100 culture solution and generated 28.57 mg/l/d of biomass productivity. Protein content (43.9 wt%) was approximately two-fold higher than carbohydrate content (29.4 wt%) and lipid content (13.9 wt%). Oocystis sp. KNUA044 produced the monosaccharide fucose (33 ㎍/mg and 0.94 mg/l/d), reported here for the first time. Fatty acid profiling showed high accumulation (over 60%) of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) compared to saturated (29.4%) and monounsaturated fatty acids (9.9%) under the same culture conditions. Of these PUFAs, the algal strain produced the highest concentration of linolenic acid (C18:3 ω3; 40.2%) in the omega-3 family and generated eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5 ω3; 6.0%), also known as EPA. Based on these results, we suggest that the application of Sphingomonas sp. KNU100 for strain-dependent cultivation of Oocystis sp. KNUA044 holds future promise as a bioprocess capable of increasing algal biomass and high-value bioactive by-products, including fucose and PUFAs such as linolenic acid and EPA.

For successful microalgal biodiesel production, the strain should be selected carefully. Fast growth rate and high fatty acid contents are desired traits for algal biodiesel production. In ocean cultivation of microalgae, seawater temperature slowly changes over seasons, and rotating algal strains in accordance with their optimal temperature could improve overall productivity. Additionally, use of indigenous strain is preferred to alleviate potential impacts on the environment. In this study, five strains of Tetraselmis sp. from nearshore of Youngheung Island, Incheon, Korea, were isolated during winter and characterized for their growth patterns and fatty acid compositions in the low temperatures ($5-15^{\circ}C$). The five strains showed various characteristics in optimal growth temperature, fatty acid contents, and compositions. Compared with a strain of Tetraselmis sp., isolated from Ganghwa island in a previous study, a rapid-growing strain with 237% higher biomass productivity and an oleaginous strain with twice higher fatty acid contents at $10^{\circ}C$ were isolated. The oleaginous Tetraselmis strain showed the highest fatty acid productivity among the strains, having 438% higher productivity than the previous strain. Using the new isolates in the seasons with low seawater temperature would improve microalgal fatty acid productivity in ocean cultivation.
