We performed experiments on the uptake and excretion of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) using two toxic dinoflagellates, Alexandrium tamarense Lebour (Balech) and Gymnodinium catenatum Graham, isolated from Hiroshima Bay, Japan. ATP (adenosine triphosphate), UMP (uridine-5-monophosphate), G-6-P (glucose-6-phosphate) and Glycero-P (glycerophosphate) were used as DOP sources in preliminary uptake experiments. ATP was selected as the DOP species for the short-tenn uptake experiment because preliminary experiments showed it to be the DOP source used by both species. Although the $K_s$ values of A. tamarense and G. catenatum (5.63 and $7.61{\mu}M$, respectively) obtained from the short-term experiments for ATP were only slightly higher than those reported for dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), the ${\rho}_{max}$ values (5.04 pmol/cell/h and 13.4 pmol/cell/h, respectively) were much higher. The DOP excretion rate in batch-culture experiments was estimated at 0.084 pmol/cell/h for A. tamarense and 0.012 pmol/cell/h for G. catenatum, accounting for about 30% and 25%, respectively, of the assimilated phosphorus. Our results suggest that the DIP-depleted conditions of Hiroshima Bay favor these two species by supporting their ability to use DOP.

Skeletonema costatum, Chaetoceros didymus, Alexandrium tamarense 그리고 Heterosigma akashiwo의 인 제한에 따른 용존태 유기인(dissolved organic phosphorus; DOP)의 이용성과 alkaline phosphatase(APase)의 활성을 살펴보기 위해 실내실험을 실시하였다. S. costatum, C. didymus, A. tamarense 그리고 H. akashiwo는 인 공급원으로써 용존태 무기인 (dissolved inorganic phosphorus; DIP) 이외에 phosphomonoester와 nucleotide 화합물을 이용하여 성장을 유지할 수 있었다. S. costatum, C. didymus, A. tamarense 그리고 H. a/wshiwo의 APase 활성은 배양액내의 DIP가 각각 $0.30\;{\mu}M$, $0.33\;{\mu}M$, $2.04\;{\mu}M$과 $0.63\;{\mu}M$에서 최초로 활성을 보였으며, 최대활성은 각각 $0.01\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$, $0.11\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$, $1.63\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$와 $0.19\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$였다. APase 활성은 종에 따라 다르게 나타났지만, 최대 활성은 DIP의 흡수속도보다도 높아 인이 제한된 환경에서 효과적으로 DOP를 가수분해하여 성장을 유지 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 따라서 DOP의 이용능력은 적조 플링크튼의 성장뿐만 아니라 종간경쟁에도 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

용존 유기물 풀(pool)의 구성 성분과 그것들이 인 순환에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 용존 유기인의 구성 성분과 용존 유기인에 대해 수집된 자료를 분석하였다. 용존 핵산은 대양수의 영양단계가 높아짐에 따라 그 중요성이 증가하는 것으로 보였 다. 흥미로운 것은 전체 5'뉴클레오티드와 용존 핵산의 합이 용존 유기인 풀을 우점하 는 것으로 보인다는 것이다. 따라서 용존 핵산의 광물화는 대양 표층수에서 용존 핵산 과 용존 유기인이 생성되는 기작으로서 미생물의 사망에 관련된 프로세스들이 중요하 며 특히 용존 핵산의 생성에 있어던 포식자에 의한 먹이의 불완전 소화가 중요한 기작 으로 사료된다.

To study the environmental features causing a bloom of the novel dinoflagellate Heterocapsa circularisquama (Dinophyceae), hydrographic and chemical aspects were measured in the Uranouchi Bay, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, from January to December, 1997. The cell density of H. circularisquama increased rapidly in early October, and dropped sharply in mid-October. Growth rate of H, circularisquama during bloom period appeared 1.50 division day$^{-1}$ under high water temperature (25$^{\circ}C$) and salinity (32 psu) conditions. Althought the result from hydrographic aspect indicated good condition for their growth, dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentration in surface layer before bloom formation was less than 0.70uM, which is lower than their half saturation constant(Ks). Dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN): DIP ratio was > 30, indicating potential P-limitation. However, before bloom formation period of H. circularisquama, DIP concentrations were high in bottom layer (> 4.0 uM). Some studies reported that H. circularisquama had the ability to migrate vertically and to utilize dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP). Thus, DIP in bottom layer might have been utilized by H. circularisquama for their growth.DOP might have weakly affected their growth because of low reactive DOP concentrations owing to low DOP concentration (ca. 0.39 uM). Thus, if nutrient condition of bottom layer in Uranuchi Bay is not improved, the outbreaks of H. circularisquama red tides may became an annual feature.

We investigated variations in alkaline phosphatase (APase) activity and alkaline phosphatase hydrolyzable phosphorus (APHP) in northern Gamak Bay from September to December 2009. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) decreased gradually, and the DIN/DIP ratio was higher than the Redfield ratio (16) based on molecular concentrations during most of the observation period. The total APase (T-APase) activity increased with decreasing DIP concentration; i.e., the Relationship between T-APase and DIP showed a high negative correlation (r=-0.80, P<0.001), with APase activity being a good indicator of DIP limiting the Redfield ratio. The T-APase was positively correlated with the concentration of chlorophyll a (r=0.73, P<0.001). This suggests that a major portion of APase activity in northen Gamak Bay seawater is attributed to phytoplankton. The proportion of APHP among dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) was low in September and high in November. Thus, APase-producing phytoplankton may be able to grow by utilizing APHP as a phosphorus source in autumn when DIP is limiting. Thus, APase activity and the use of DOP by phytoplankton may play an important role in the growth of phytoplankton under DIP limiting conditions such as those of northern Gamak Bay.

Species competition among the toxic dinoflagellates Alexandrium tamarense and Gymnodinium catenatum and the diatom Skeletonema costatum was simulated using a mathematical model. Prior to the model simulation competition experiments using the three species were conducted to obtain data for validation by the simulation model. S. costatum dominated at a density of ${\sim}10^{4}\;cells/mL$ compared to the other species in the medium with dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP). The growth of S. costatum was also stimulated by the addition of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP), such as uridine-5-monophosphate (UMP) or glycerophosphate (Glycero-P), although this species is unable to take up DOP. This implies that the growth of S. costatum may be supported by DIP, which is hydrolyzed by alkaline phosphatase produced from A. tamarense and G. catenatum. The species competition model was run assuming the environmental conditions of northern Hiroshima Bay, Japan, during spring and summer. G. catenatum increased in cell density and neared the level of S. costatum at the end of the calculation. In the sensitivity analyses by means of doubling and halving parameters, depleted DIP had little effect on the cell density of G. catenatum. However the growth of A. tamarense and S. costatum was significantly affected by changes in the parameter values. These results indicate that if DIP depletion is ongoing, species that have a large phosphate pool in their cells, such as G. catenatum, will predominate in the community.

2011년 9월에 동해의 수괴 분포와 용존 무기 및 유기 영양염의 분포 특성을 파악하였다. 수온, 염분, 용존산소의 분포를 통하여 연구해역의 수괴 기원은 WM(water mass)-I, WM-II, WM-III, WM-IV 등 4개의 대표적인 수괴로 구분되었으며, 그 성격은 각각 대마난류표층수, 대마난류중층수, 북한한류수, 동해고유수와 유사하였다. 용존 영양염의 경우, 용존 무기 질소(DIN; dissolved inorganic nitrogen)와 용존 무기 인(DIP; dissolved inorganic phosphorus)은 WM-IV에서 가장 높았으며, WM-III, WM-II, WM-I 순으로 나타났다. 반면에 용존 유기 질소(DON; dissolved organic nitrogen)와 용존 유기 인(DOP; dissolved organic phosphorus)은 무기 영양염과 상반되는 분포를 보였다. 연구해역에서 수괴 전체에 대한 DIN : DIP 비는 약 15.8로 Redfield ratio(16)에 근접한 수치를 보이고 있으나, 혼합층의 경우 5.3으로 무기질소가 식물플랑크톤 성장의 제한 요인으로 작용할 수 있는 것으로 보였다. 하지만 무기 질소가 제한된 혼합층에서 DON은 용존 총 질소(DTN; dissolved total nitrogen) 중 약 70%를 구성하였다. 따라서 풍부한 DON은 동해에서 식물플랑크톤의 성장을 위한 중요한 영양염 공급원으로 판단된다.

We investigated the seasonal variability of tree alkaline phosphatase activity in seawater and alkaline phosphatase hydrolysable phosphorus (APHP) at 3 stations in Hiroshima Bay using alkaline phosphatase extracted from the dinoflagellates Alexandrium tamarense and Gymnodinium catenatum. The dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) was lower than $1\;{\mu}M$ all samples; the lowest values were in May. The amount of APHP was high at the surface and bottom waters of all stations in May, showing DIP-depleted conditions. In August and November, the amount of APHP was much less than the amount of APHP in May, indicating that the availability of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) for these species was low and/or uptake during the dinoflagellate blooming might have occurred in the area. The results obtained from short-term variations of AP activity might suggest that the growth of dinoflagellates in this season may be partly supported by the AP produced by other diatoms.

본 연구는 유해 와편모조류 Cochlodinium polykrikoides와 규조류 Skeletonema sp.의 용존 유기 영양염에 대한 이용 및 흡수능력을 통해서 종간 경쟁관계를 파악하였다. C. polykrikoides와 Skeletonema sp.는 용존 무기 질소와 무기인 이외에 다양한 용존 유기 질소와 유기 인을 이용하여 성장하였다. 이는 용존 무기 질소 또는 무기 인이 제한 영양염으로 작용하는 환경에서 중요한 생존전략으로 작용할 것이다. Urea와 glycerophospahte(glycero-P)의 흡수동력학 실험으로부터 도출된 반포화상수(Ks) 값은 C. polykrikoides가 Skeletonema sp.에 비해서 낮은 값을 보였다. 이는 Skeletonema sp.가 C. polykrikoides에 비해서 urea와 glycero-P와 같은 유기 영양염에 대한 친화성이 높음을 의미한다. 하지만 Skeletonema sp.가 유기 영양염에 대한 친화성이 높을지라도 C. polykrikoides가 ${\alpha}$ (${\rho}_{max}/Ks$) 값이 높아, 저농도의 영양염 조건(

The introduction of a significant amount of phosphorous into aquatic environments can lead to eutrophication, which can in turn result in algal blooms. For the effective management of watersheds and the prevention of water quality problems related to nonpoint organic matter (OM) sources, it is essential to pinpoint the predominant OM sources. Several potential OM sources were sampled from upper agricultural watersheds, such as fallen leaves, riparian reeds, riparian plants, paddy soil, field soil, riparian soil, cow manure, and swine manure. Stream samples were collected during two storm events, and the concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and phosphorous (DOP) from these OM sources and stream samples were assessed. DOM indicators using fluorescence spectroscopy, including HIX, FI, BIX, and EEM-PARAFAC, were evaluated in terms of their relevance in discerning DOM sources during storm events. Representative DOM descriptors were chosen based on specific criteria, such as value ranges and pronounced differences between low and high-flow periods. Consequently, the spectral slope ratio (S_R) paired with fluorescence index (FI) using end-member mixing analysis (EMMA) proved to be suitable for estimating the contribution of organic carbon (OC). The contribution of each organic phosphorous (OP) in stream samples was determined using the phosphorous-to-carbon (P/C) ratio in conjunction with the OC contribution. Notably, OP derived from swine manure in stream samples was found to make the most dominant contribution, ranging from 61.3% to 94.2% (average 78.1% ± 12.7%). The results of this research offer valuable insights into the selection of suitable indicators to recognize various OM sources and highlight the main sources of OP in forested-agricultural watersheds.
