서태평양에 위치한 해저산 해역($150.2^{\circ}E$, $20^{\circ}N$ 부근)에서 수층 환경의 동적 특성을 파악하고자 수괴 및 용존산소, 무기영양염(질소, 인), 엽록소-a 등과 같은 수층 환경 인자의 거동을 살펴보았다. 2014년 10월에 해저산(OSM14-2)을 중심으로 동-서 및 남-북 방향으로 총 9개의 정점에서 CTD system을 이용하여 물리 화학적 자료를 획득하였다. 수온-염분 도표로부터 연구 해역에서 파악된 수괴는 표층에서 북태평양 열대수와 수온약층수, 중층에서 북태평양 중층수 그리고 저층에서 북태평양 심층수로 구분되었다. 용존산소 농도가 낮은 최소층(평균 $73.26{\mu}M$)은 산소 결핍 환경(dysoxic<$90{\mu}M$)으로 연구 해역 전반에 걸쳐 수심 700~1,200 m 사이에 분포하였다. 아질산염+질산염과 인산염으로 대표되는 무기영양염은 표면혼합층 내에서 빈영양 환경을 보인 후 수심 증가에 따라 점차적으로 증가해 용존산소 최소층에서 최대 농도를 나타냈으며, N:P ratio(13.7) 결과로부터 연구 해역은 식물플랑크톤이 성장하기에 질소 성분이 제한된 환경으로 파악되었다. 해저산을 중심으로 동-서 및 남-북 정점 라인에서 환경 인자의 수직 분포는 서쪽과 남쪽 해역에서 저층수 유입에 의한 영향으로 수심 500 m 부근에서 그리고 수심 2,500 m 이하의 저층 내에서도 서쪽 해역과 남쪽 해역에서 반대 해역과 비교해 환경 인자의 농도가 다르게 분포하였다. Redfield ratio(N:P=16:1)을 이용하여 구해진 Excess N 값은 연구 해역 전반에 걸쳐 음의 값을 보여 질소 제거 기작이 우세한 환경임을 나타냈으며, 서쪽 해역과 남쪽 해역 저층에서 상대적으로 높은 값이 관측되었다. 이러한 결과들은 해저산의 지형적인 특성이 저층 해류 순환에 영향을 미치고 이는 수층 환경 인자들의 거동을 결정하는데 중요하게 작용함을 지시한다.

본 연구는 2010년에 국립수산과학원에서 실시한 황해 어장환경 모니터링 중 가로림만의 11개 정점에 대해 년 6회 짝수 달에 조사한 수온, 염분, 용존산소(DO), 화학적산소요구량(COD), 엽록소 $a$, 입자성부유물질(SPM) 및 영양염류를 분석하여 가로림만의 이화학적 특성을 파악하였다. 수온, 염분, COD, 용존성무기질소, 엽록소 $a$, SPM은 표 저층간의 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 그 외 조사 항목은 표 저층간의 차이가 없었다. 모든 조사 항목에서 정점간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 수온은 전형적인 온대 수역의 변화 양상을 보였으며, 염분은 8월에 평균 31이상으로 저염분 현상은 발생하지 않았다. DO는 농도가 낮은 6~8월에 평균값이 빈산소 수괴 발생 농도인 3mg/L보다 높은 농도를 보였다. 엽록소 $a$는 전체적으로 6월 표층 $1.68{\mu}g/L$, 저층 $2.38{\mu}g/L$, 8월 표층 $1.68{\mu}g/L$, 저층 $1.57{\mu}g/L$로 여름철에 가장 높았다. 영양염류는 전체 조사시기별 중에서 2월이 높고 8월이 낮은 경향을 보였는데, 이는 여름철에 가로림만으로 들어오는 담수유입이 제한받고 여름철에 번식하는 식물플랑크톤에 의해서 영양염이 소비가 되었기 때문이라고 생각된다. DIN/DIP 비는 전체적으로 비슷한 값을 보였으며, 6월의 경우는 표층 30.52, 저층 37.89로 다른 조사시기별보다 높은 경향을 보였다. SPM은 2월 저층에서 44.15mg/L로 가장 높은 값을 보였는데, 이러한 현상은 겨울에 북서계절풍의 영향으로 사료된다. 영양염류의 결과와 저염분 현상 및 빈산소 수괴가 발생하지 않는 것으로 보아 가로림만은 외해의 해수 교환이 원활이 이루어지며, 작은 하천을 통해 들어오는 담수의 유입에 크게 영향을 받지 않는다. 그리고 해역별 수질등급은 전반적으로 I, II등급의 수질상태를 유지하고 있어 수산학적으로 매우 중요한 연안이므로 앞으로 지속적인 보전이 요구된다.

The growth kinetics of phototrophic microorganisms can be controlled by the light irradiance, the concentration of an inorganic nutrient, or both. A multi-component kinetic model is proposed and tested in novel batch experiments that allow the kinetic parameters for each factor to be estimated independently. For the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, the estimated parameters are maximum specific growth rate $({\mu}_{max})=2.8/d$, half-maximum-rate light irradiance $(K_L)=11W/m^2$, half-inhibition-rate light irradiance $(K_{L,I})=39W/m^2$, and half-maximum-rate concentration for inorganic carbon $(K_{S,Ci})=0.5mgC/L$, half-maximum-rate concentration for inorganic nitrogen $(K_{S,Ni})=1.4mgN/L$, and half-maximum-rate concentration for inorganic phosphorus $(K_{S,Pi})=0.06mgP/L$. Compared to other phototrophs having ${\mu}max$ estimates, PCC6803 is a fast-growing r-strategist relying on reaction rate. Its half-maximum-rate and half-inhibition rate values identify the ranges of light irradiance and nutrient concentrations that PCC6803 needs to achieve a high specific growth rate to be a sustainable bioenergy source. To gain the advantages of its high maximum specific growth rate, PCC6803 needs to have moderate light illumination ($7-62W/m^2$ for ${\mu}_{syn}{\geq}1/d$) and relatively high nutrient concentrations: $N_i{\geq}2.3 mgN/L$, $P_i{\geq}0.1mgP/L$, and $C_i{\geq}1.0mgC/L$.

BACKGROUND: Measurement equipment was developed for inorganic nutrient concentration inside the hydroponic culture medium with several macro- and micro compositions, and applied for measuring the compositions of conventional medium. METHODS AND RESULTS: Before the equipment development, sonicator and heater were utilized to control temperature around of the module mixing with color reagents and target samples among the inorganic compositions. The measurement module and multi-sampler were also manufactured based on the COMS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) and installed inside the measurement equipment. Concentration of standard solution, value measured by the equipment, standard deviation or measured average value were used for estimating the accuracy and average recall of the equipment. Yamazaki solutions with EC of 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 dS/m were offered to confirm the equipment accuracy and standard error. CONCLUSION: It was suggested that the developed equipment could be automatically applied for measurement with accuracy of over 96% and standard errors of less than 5% on 12 macro- and micro compositions such as a NO3-N, PO43- or Fe.

The objectives of this study were to monitor the changes in soil solution nutrients and to evaluate their effect on rice uptake and yield. The changes of chemical characteristics of paddy soil solution were examined from the 58th fertilization experiment in which the continuous rice cropping experiment started in 1954 at the National Academy of Agricultural Science. The treatments were no fertilization (No fert.), inorganic fertilization (NPK), inorganic fertilizer plus rice straw compost (NPKC) and inorganic fertilizer plus silicate and lime fertilizer as a soil amendment (NPKCLS). The fertilizers were added at rates of standard fertilizer application rate in which nitrogen (N), phosphate ($P_2O_5$), potassium ($K_2O$), and sililcate ($SiO_2$) were applied at rates of $75{\sim}150kg\;ha^{-1}$, $70{\sim}86kg\;ha^{-1}$, $75{\sim}86kg\;ha^{-1}$, and $7.5Mg\;ha^{-1}$ respectively and lime was applied to neutralize soil acidity until 6.5. Average Electrical Conductivity (EC) of soil solution in NPKCLS and NPKC ranged from 1.16 to $2.00dS\;m^{-1}$. The $NH{_4}^+$ and $K^+$ levels in NPKCLS and NPKC were higher than that of the other treatments, due to high supply power of rice straw compost. The content of $H_3SiO{_4}^-$ was higher in NPKCLS because of silicate application. The dominant ions in soil solution were $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ and $Na^+$ among cations and $HCO{_3}^-$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, and $Cl^-$ among anions in all treatments. The continuous application of inorganic fertilizers plus rice straw compost (NPKC) and silicate fertilizer (NPKCLS) led to the changes of various chemical composition in soil solutions. Also, they had a significant impact on the improvement of rice inorganic uptake and grain yield. Especially, inorganic uptake by rice in NPKC and NPKCLS significantly increased than those in NPK plot; 14~46% for T-N, 32~36% for P, 43~57% for K, and 45~77% for Si. Therefore, the combined application of inorganic fertilizers with organic compost as a soil amendment is considered as the best fertilization practice in the continuous rice cropping for the improvement of crop productivity and soil fertility.

To quantify nutrient loading from emergent macrophytes through leaching in the littoral zones of Paldang Reservoir, we conducted incubation experiments using leaf litter of the emergent macrophyte, Zizaniz latifolia. To separate the leaching process from microbial decay, we used $HgCl_2$ to suppress microbial activity during the experiment. We measured electric conductivity, absorbance at 280nm, total nitrogen and dissolved inorganic nitrogen, total phosphorus and soluble reactive phosphorus, Na, K, Mg and Ca amounts in leaf litter and in water. In addition, we examined the effects of water temperature and ion concentrations of ambient water on the leaching process. A total of 6% of the initial ash-free dry mass of leaf litter was lost due to leaching during incubation (four days). Electric conductivity and A280 continued to increase and saturate during the incubation. To compare reaching rates of different nutrients, we fitted leaching dynamics with a hyperbolic saturation function [Y=AㆍX/(B+X)]. From these fittings, we found that ratios of leaching amounts to nutrient concentration in the litter were in the order of K > Na > Mg > P > Ca > N. Leaching from leaf litter of Z. latifolia was dependent on water temperature while it was not related with ion concentrations in the ambient water. Our results suggest that the leaching process of nutrients, especially phosphorus, from aquatic macrophytes provides considerable contribution to the eutrophication of the Paldang Reservoir ecosystem.

Sugarcane press residue (SPR), a byproduct from the sugar industry was evaluated for it's nutrient and energetic quality in broilers and layers. The composition of SPR included (% DM): CP-11.76 (methionine-2.21, cystine-1.05, lysine-4.85, threonine-5.48% of CP), EE-7.87 (palmitic acid-30.3, stearic acid-4.1, oleic aicd-17.2, linoleic acid-38.0, linolenic acid-5.4% of EE), CF-10.08, TA-21.08 (Ca-3.87, P-1.10, Mg-0.95%, Fe-3500, Mn-284, Zn-113, Cu-61.5, Co-5.0 ppm and AIA-4.93%) and NFE-48.35% indicating that SPR is a valuable source of both organic and inorganic nutrients for poultry. The metabolic trials revealed the average ME of SPR as 749, 842 and 1,270 kcal/kg, respectively in broilers and 844, 936 and 1,031 kcal/kg in layers, at 10, 20 and 30% inclusion levels, respectively. Further, the fortification of SPR incorporated diets with biotechnological products viz., lipid utilizing agents (lipase and lecithin) or NSP degrading enzymes and their combination did not improve the ME content of such diets.

Microalgae can grow autotrophically with the supply of light, carbon dioxide and inorganic nutrients in water through photosynthesis. Generally, microalgal growth is limited by the concentrations and relative ratio of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) among the nutrients in the aquatic environment. Each microalga has its specific optimum N : P ratio resulting in dominance in a particular water having similar nutrient composition. Algal bloom is an immense growth of certain microalga commonly cyanobacterium and can be sequestrated by reducing the limiting nutrient, generally P in the freshwater. Moreover, dominance of a less toxic blooming strain can be established by manipulating N : P ratio in the water. On the other hand, microalgal biomass of a certain species can be enhanced by increasing limiting nutrient and adjusting the N : P ratio to the target species. The above-mentioned eco-physiological features of microalgae can be more completely interpreted in connection with their genomic informations. Consequently, microalgal growth regulation which can be achieved on the basis of its eco-physiological and further genomic insights would be helpful not only in the control of algal bloom, but also for an increased yield of algal biomass.

In order to estimate the nutrient flux of the Seomjin River into the coastal waters of South Sea, and to understand the estuarine reactions during mixing between river water and seawater, we collected surface water along the salinity gradient in the Seomjin River estuary from Mar. 1999 to Apr. 2001. We found that nitrate and silicate were delivered by fluvial input, while phosphate was, supplied from disposed wastes in the Gwangyang Bay. Mean annual flux of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), phosphate and silicate into the Gwangyang Bay was estimated 10.9 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(4,820 tonnesㆍyr$^{-1}$), 0.07 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(68 tonnesㆍyr$^{-1}$), 13.3 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(11,747 tonnesㆍy$^{-1}$), respectively. An evident removal of phosphate, silicate and ammonium at the mid-salinity zone during the dry season was attributed to the active uptake of phytoplankton, and consequently nutrient flux into the Gwangyang Bay was low. Whereas, during the flood season in summer, conservative or additional distribution of the nutrients was observed in the estuary. As a rsult nutrient flux into the Gwangyang Bay was maintained high. High concentrations of chlorophyll a and the active removal of nutrient during the dry season at the mid-salinity zone suggest that nutrient distribution in the Seomjin River estuary was mainly controlled by biological processes and nutrient fluxes into the Gwangyang Bay might be significantly modified of by the primary production.

In order to find the effect of intertidal sediments on nutrient cycle in coastal environment, we measured ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate concentrations every hour during at least 12 hours in the entrance of Keunso Bay during four seasons. The content of ammonia and silicate do not change considerably with season, but nitrate shows large seasonal variation. In summer, nitrate concentration was much lower than in other seasons, which resulted from large biological uptake and active denitrification in intertidal sediments during summer. Phosphate also exhibit seasonal variations, but not that large like nitrate. N/P and N/Si ratios were lower in summer than in other seasons, which was due to active denitrification in the intertidal sediments during summer. For all seasons, ammonia concentrations were higher at low tide than at high tide, but nitrate concentrations were higher at high tide. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentrations measured in spring, summer, and winter were higher at high tide than at low tide, but in fall, they were higher at low tide than at high tide. For spring and winter, phosphate and silicate concentrations were higher at low tide than at high tide, while in summer and fall, they were higher at high tide than at low tide. In Keunso Bay, intertidal sediments affect significantly the nutrient cycle around the coastal areas. The intertidal sediments act as a source for ammonia and silicate, but as a sink for nitrate. However, phosphate is not considerably influenced by intertidal sediments.
