To assess the relative contribution of bacterial and phytoplankton biomasses to particulate organic matter (POM) in the water column, microbial abundance and biomass were from two transects in the western channel of the Korea Strait in 1996. Bacterial abundance had a mean value of $5.9{\times}10^5$ cells/ml and chlorophyll-a averaged 0.14 ${\mu}g/l$. Bacterial abundance in the Korea Strait showed a positive relationship with chlorophyll-a concentration, while the distribution of POM did not covary with chlorophyll-a. Particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) concentrations were greater in August than in October. Bacterial carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) concentrations were greater in August than in October. Bacterial carbon and nitrogen biomasses were 7.29 ${\mu}gC/l$ and 1.24 ${\mu}gN/l$, respectively, during the study periods. Bacterial biomass was larger in October than in August due to the autumn phytoplankton bloom. Phytoplankton biomass based on chlorophyll-a was 7.67 ${\mu}gC/l$ for carbon and 1.10${\mu}gN/l$l for nitrogen. The ratio of bacterial carbon (BC) to phytoplankton carbon (Cp) averaged 0.95 in the Korea Strait in 1996. Bacteria may play a more significant role in the dynamics of POM than phytoplankton do in August, with BC/Cp ratio of 1.26. The ratio of BC to Cp increased with a decrease in chlorophyll-a concentration. Averaged over all the samples in both cruises, the contribution of microbial biomass to POC and PON was about 43% and 51%, respectively. Bacterial assemblage constituted a significant fraction of POC (21%) and PON (27%). Phytoplankton accounted for 22% of POC and 24% of PON. Microbial biomass played a more important role in the dynamics of POC and PON in October than in August due to a significant increase in microbial biomass in the southern transect (transect-B) in October by the autumn phytoplankton bloom. This study showed that marine microbes may constitute a significant part in the reservoir of POM in the Korea Strait.

유기물원을 항온 배양했을 때 온도가 토양미생물체량과 효소활성 및 PLFA함량에 미치는 영향을 토양 특성별로 평가하고자 입상과 분상 혼합유기질비료, 돈분퇴비, 음식물퇴비를 화산회토양과 비화산회토양 30g에 2g을 잘 혼합 후 10, 20, $30^{\circ}C$에서 항온배양을 하면서 pH, 토양질소, 유기물 함량, Microbial biomass C와 N, 토양효소활성, 인지질지방산 함량을 분석하였다. 돈분과 음식물퇴비는 토양종류와 온도에 상관없이 토양 pH의 변화가 크지 않았으나 입상유기질비료는 온도가 높을수록 낮아졌으며, 비화산회토양에서 변화폭이 컸다. 미생물체량 C는 화산회토양의 경우 배양 온도가 높고 유기질비료를 처리할 때 높아지는 경향이었지만 토양종류에 상관없이 점차 감소하였다. 미생물체량 N은 비화산회토양에서 유기질비료, 화산회토양에서는 돈분과 음식물퇴비를 처리할 때 높게 나타났다. 인지질 지방산함량은 항온배양 75일후 비화 산회토양이 화산회토양보다 높았고, 270일후 화산회토양에서 높게 나타났으나 점차 낮아지는 경향이었다. Urease활성은 150일에 비화산회토양의 입상유기질비료처리에서 $10^{\circ}C$(75.0)>$20^{\circ}C$(16.3)>$30^{\circ}C$($4.6ug\;NH{_4-}N\;g^{-1}\;2h^{-1}$)순으로 $10^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높게 나타났으며 온도가 높고, 시간이 경과할수록 낮아졌으며 화산회토양의 Urease활성은 $10^{\circ}C$에서 높게 나타났다. ${\beta}-glucosidase$ 활성은 비화산회토양이 화산회토양보다 높았고 시간이 경과할수록 낮아졌다. 토양미생물체량 C와 미생물활성지표간의 상관계수는 비화산회토양에서 PLFA ($r^2=0.91$), 화산회토양에서 ${\beta}-glucosidase$ ($r^2=0.83$)가 높았으며, 미생물활성지표는 토양종류와 온도에 따라 상대적으로 민감도가 다르게 나타났다.

Glomalin has been suggested as an enhancer for soil stability by promoting the aggregation. In this study, we examined the concentrations of glomalin and microbial characteristics in 25 controlled horticultural soils sampled from Gyeongnam Province. Total glomalin had a significant positive correlation with soil organic matter (p < 0.01), soil microbial biomass carbon (p < 0.05), and dehydrogenase activity (p < 0.05) in controlled horticultural soils. In addition, the total glomalin had a significant positive correlation with concentrations of total fatty acid methyl esters, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in controlled horticultural soils (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the concentration of total glomalin could be an indicator of microbial biomass richness for sustainable agriculture in controlled horticultural soils.

This study attempted to compare the litter decomposition rate of Arundinella hirta and Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens which collected from serpentine soil acting potentially toxic concentration of heavy metals and non-serpentine soil by using the microcosm method for 192 days under constant humidity and $23^{\circ}C$. The contents of Ni, Fe, Mg and Cr in the serpentine and nonserpentine soil originated litter showed high differences between them. The litter samples from serpentine site have lower C/N than non-serpentine litter, but the soluble carbohydrate content was shown almost similar between two plant litter. The mass loss rates of leaf litter from serpentine area were slower than those from non-serpentine site. During the experimental period, the remained dry weight of A. hirta and M. sinensis var. purpurascens litter collected from serpentine site were 64.7%, 65.0% of initial dry weight and litter samples from non-serpentine site showed 54.2%, 50.7%, respectively. K and Na were leached rapidly at the initial decomposition periods, but Ca showed immobilization and other metal elements reserved at the decomposing litter for a long time. The decomposing A. hirta litter from non-serpentine soil showed higher values of $CO_2$ evolution, microbial biomass-C, and microbial biomass-N than those in serpentine soil originated litter acting nutrient stresses and exhibited rapid decay rate. The microbial biomass and microbial respiration of decaying litter were positively correlated with litter decomposition rate, and these relationships showed more rapid slope in non-serpentine soil originated litter than that in serpentine soil.

가축분 퇴비가 토양의 생화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자, 농업과학기술원 시험포장에 시용량 ($8Mg\;ha^{-1}$, CM-8구: $29Mg\;ha^{-1}$, CM-29구: $57Mg\;ha^{-1}$, CM-57구)을 달리하여 돈분퇴비를 시비하고 봄배추를 재배하면서 생육시기별로 토양을 채취하여 biomass, 효소활성도의 변화를 조사하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 토양효소 활성은 NPK구의 경우 대조구에 비하여 낮았으나 퇴비구에서는 증가하여 CM-57구에서 protease, Phosphomonoesterase 그리고 dehydrogenase의 활성이 각각 2.3, 1.6 및 2.4배 증가하였다. Protease와 phosphomonoesterase의 경우 재배기간중 모든 처리구에서 생육중기에 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Biomass는 퇴비의 시용랑에 따라 증가하여 biomass C의 함량은 CM-57구에서 $466mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 대조구에 비하여 4.3배, biomass N과 P는 각각 3.4배, 2.8배 증가하였다. 한편 NPK구에서는 biomass C와 N은 증가하였으나 biomass P는 낮았다. 퇴비구에 있어서 biomass N과 P는 배추의 생육중기에 최고치에 달하였으나 biomass C의 함량은 생육초기에 증가하여 수확기까지도 높은 함량을 유지하였다. 평균 biomass C:N:P 비율은 11:2:1이었으며, 토양의 유기 탄소 및 질소함량에 대한 biomass C와 N의 비율은 각각 1.1 및 3.6%이었다. 재배토양의 protease와 dehydrogenase는 biomass C 및 P와 고도로 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다.

본 연구는 충남 청양의 폐광산 지역과 인근 대조구에 분포하는 Artenmisia princeps var. orientalis(쑥), Equisetum arvense(쇠뜨기)를 이용하여 식물체 내 중금속 함량이 미생물의 활성에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 낙엽 회수시 측정한 호흡량은 처음 회수시 가장 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 시간이 지날수록 발생량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 중금속의 함량이 높은 낙엽에서 미생물의 호흡량이 낮았으며 대조구에서 채집하여 대조구에서 분해시킨 쑥과 쇠뜨기에서 가장 빠른 분해를 보인 것으로 나타났다. 쑥과 쇠뜨기 모두 중금속 함량이 적은 낙엽에서 높은 미생물량을 나타내었다. 낙엽의 분해율과 누적호흡량, 낙엽의 분해율과 미생물량사이에는 각각 뚜렷한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구결과 식물체 내의 중금속이 분해과정에 관여하는 미생물의 생장과 활성에 부정적인 영향을 미친 결과라 할 수 있다.

Bacterial biomass and its activity were measured in two kinds of granular activated carbon (GAC), the experimental and existing biofiltration system in a drinking water plant. The bacterial biomass was around 210 to 250 nmol P/g WW with phospholipid concentration at acclimation of ozonation treatment. The phospholipid biomass shows more or less a declining gradient along filter depth and no clear seasonality in its values. On the other hand, the microbial activity of [$^3H$]-thymidine and [$^{14}C$]-acetate incorporation within cells increased significantly along the filter depth, showing the difference of three fold between the upper and bottom layer. These factors support the different microbial composition or metabolic activity along the depth of GAC column. Turnover rates, the rate of bacterial biomass and production of biofilm, ranged from 0.26 /hr to 0.37 /hr, indicating a highly rapid recovery itself at amature state. In the non-ozonation treatment, the bacterial biomass was lower than in the ozonation and biological activity also declined towards the filter depth. The biomass levels during cessation of ozonation in the existing GAC filters were 68% of the actively ozonated state.

To evaluate the potential utility of pretreatment of raw biomass with a complex microbial system, we investigated the degradation of rice straw by BMC-9, a lignocellulose decomposition strain obtained from a biogas slurry compost environment. The degradation characteristics and corresponding changes in the bacterial community were assessed. The results showed that rapid degradation occurred from day 0 to day 9, with a peak total biomass bacterium concentration of $3.3{\times}10^8$ copies/ml on day 1. The pH of the fermentation broth declined initially and then increased, and the mass of rice straw decreased steadily. The highest concentrations of volatile fatty acid contents (0.291 mg/l lactic acid, 0.31 mg/l formic acid, 1.93 mg/l acetic acid, and 0.73 mg/l propionic acid) as well as the highest xylanse activity (1.79 U/ml) and carboxymethyl cellulase activity (0.37 U/ml) occurred on day 9. The greatest diversity among the microbial community also occurred on day 9, with the presence of bacteria belonging to Clostridium sp., Bacillus sp., and Geobacillus sp. Together, our results indicate that BMC-9 has a strong ability to rapidly degrade the lignocelluloses of rice straw under relatively inexpensive conditions, and the optimum fermentation time is 9 days.

Little information is available on soil $CO_2$ efflux and crop yield under agroforestry systems. Soil $CO_2$ efflux, microbial biomass C, live fine root biomass, and cotton yield were measured under a pecan (Carya illinoinensis K. Koch)-cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) alley cropping system in southern USA. A belowground polyethylene root barrier was used to isolate tree roots from cotton which is to provide barrier and non-barrier treatments. The barrier and non-barrier treatment was randomly divided into three plots for conventional inorganic fertilizer application and the other three plots for organic poultry litter application. The rate of soil $CO_2$ efflux and the soil microbial biomass C were affected significantly (P < 0.05) by the fertilizer treatment while no significant effect of the barrier treatment was occurred. Cotton lint yield was significantly (P < 0.0 I) affected by the root barrier treatment while no effect was occurred by the fertilizer treatment with the yields being greatest ($521.2kg\;ha^{-1}$) in the root barrier ${\times}$ inorganic fertilizer treatment and lowest ($159.8kg\;ha^{-1}$) in the non-barrier ${\times}$ inorganic fertilizer treatment. The results suggest that the separation of tree-crop root systems with the application of inorganic fertilizer influence the soil moisture and soil N availability, which in tum will affect the magnitude of crop yield.
