We investigated the association of Chlorella vulgaris and E. coli W9110 in removal of total organic carbon with the lab-scaled continuous river water flow system (CRWFS). Artificial wastewater was applied at two levels of organic carbon concentration; 1,335 $mg{\cdot}l^{-1}$ in the treatment (T)-1 and 267 $mg{\cdot}l^{-1}$ in T-2. The highest densities of C. vulgaris were $8.3{\times10^6\;cells{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ in T-1 and $6.9{\times}10^6\;cells{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ in T-2. The maximum densities of E. coli W3110 were $2.0{\times}10^8$ clony forming unit (CFU)${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ in T-1 and $3.9{\times}10^8\;CFU{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ in T-2. The densities increased during the first 11 days in T-q and 4 days in T-2, and decreased rapidly till 35th day, then increased slightly afterwards. This trend was prominent in T-2. It was inplied that wider range of nutrients was required in the growth of heterotrophic bacteria in T-2 than in T-1. The algal biomass should be increased effectively for the successful removal of organic carbon.

It have been investigated how algal and bacterial symbiotic reaction influences on removal of organic carbon in river ecosystem. And artificial experimentation apparatus was made for algae'and bacteia'culture as lab scale. Investigating and researching minutely the change of concentration of organic carbon substrate and the change of population density of algae'and of bacteria'with this artificial experimentation apparatus, the next results could be obtained. 1. Successful decrease of DOC(dissolved organic carbon) could not be expected unless algal and bacterial biomass floe was nut formed effectively and unless biosorption was not proceeded effectively in the very culture system in which artificial synthetic wastewater was supplied continuously at constant rate. 2. In conditions of culture liquid of 1335 glucnse mg/L(type 1) and of 267 glucose mg:L(type 2), the algal dominant species was always Chlorella vulgaris in both types in which artificial synthetic wastewater were supplied continuously at constant rate and algae population density was around maximum 107 cells/mL. 3. It was around 108 ~ 107 cells/mL that the population density of heterotrophic bacterium. In culture medium systems type 1 and type 2 in which artificial wastewater were supplied continuously at constant rate, the same density appeared initially when using the population density of Escherichia coli w 3110 as indirect indicator. And this density decreased rapidly till the culturing date 35 days were passed away, while this density increased with gentle slope after same date and then the trend of change at type 2 was more severe than one at type 1. 4. When seeing such a change of population density of Escherichia coli w 3110, the growth of heterotrophic bacterium appeared as survival instinct pattern of broader requirement of nutrient at condition of low concentration of organic carbon substrate than condition of high concentration of same substrate.

The effects of algal inoculation on chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total nitrogen (TN) removal, and indigenous bacterial dynamics were investigated in municipal wastewater. Experiments were conducted with municipal wastewater inoculated with either Chlorella vulgaris AG10032, Selenastrum gracile UTEX 325, or Scenedesmus quadricauda AG 10308. C. vulgaris and S. gracile as fast growing algae in municipal wastewater, performed high COD and TN removal in contrast to Sc. quadricauda. The indigenous bacterial dynamics revealed by 16S rRNA gene amplification showed different bacterial shifts in response to different algal inoculations. The dominant bacterial genera of either algal case were characterized as heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria. Our results suggest that selection of indigenous bacteria that symbiotically interact with algal species is important for better performance of wastewater treatment.

본 연구에서는 제철소에서 배출되는 산업폐수를 이용하여 미세조류를 성공적으로 배양하였으며 이에 대한 모델링 연구를 통해 이산화탄소의 고정화 및 암모니아의 제거효율에 미치는 환경인자에 대하여 살펴보고 실제 옥외배양에서의 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. Bottle에서의 배양을 통해 산업폐수에서 미세조류가 성장하면서 암모니아를 완전히 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이때 타양미생물의 성장은 미세조류의 성장에 비해 미미하였으므로 건조중량으로부터 고정화된 이산화탄소를 계산할 수 있었다. Raceway pond의 회분식운전 결과로부터 조류성장에 대한 모델을 구축하고 관계되는 parameter를 결정할 수 있었으며 이로부터 실제 옥외에서의 빛의 세기에서 고정화된 이산화탄소의 누적량 및 암모니아의 제거를 계산할 수 있었다. 그 결과 60 klux이상의 빛에서는 암모니아가 완전히 제거될 수 있다는 결과를 얻었으며 빛의 세기가 증가할 수록 성능이 향상되지만 빛에너지에 대한 효율은 감소하는 경향을 발견하였다. Raceway pond의 실제 옥외운전을 모사하기 위한 반연속식 배양실험에서는 dilution rate이 증가할 때 이산화탄소의 고정화율 및 암모니아의 제거율이 증가하나 암모니의 제거효율은 감소하는 경향을 얻었다. 또한 raceway pond의 옥외배양시 빛의 세기 및 폐수의 깊이, dilution rate에 따른 성능변화를 모델로 이용하여 계산하였는데 결과적으로 하루에 12시간동안 100klux의 태양빛이 공급되는 조건에서 raceway pond를 운전할 때 최적의 dilution rate은 0.425$day^{-1}$이며 이러한 조건에서 24.7 g$m^{2}day^{-1}$의 속도로 이산화탄소를 고정할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 이러한 조건에서 암모니아는 0.52 g $NH_3-Nm^{-2}day^{-1}$의 속도로 제거될 수 있으며 배출수증의 암모니아농도는 폐수의 깊이에 따라 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다.
