Stability of bioluminescence was investigated with Photobacterium phosphoreum immobilized on the strontium alginate in order to develope continuous real time monitoring of pollutants. The stability of bioluminescence emission was improved by prolonged aging time. The aging time of ${\geq}40$ min and the cell concentration of ${\leq}0.6\;of\;OD_660$ were selected for the immobilization of P. phosphoreum to give linearity between cell concentrations and bioluminescence intensity. In sensitivity tests using phenol, it was found that this compound quenched bioluminescence proportional to the concentration without lowering of cell growth. The lower value for maximum quenching ($q_s$) and higher dissociation constant ($K_s$) were observed with strontium-alginate immobilized cells compared to free cells. The response of bioluminescence to toxicants was evaluated with the immobilized luminescent bacteria. The sensitivity of the immobilized cells was found to be good in response to toxicants, 4-nitrophenol, salicylate and cadmium, when evaluated with a specific rate of bioluminescence quenching.

A new sensing system based on the immobilization of luminescent bacteria, photobacterium phosphoreum, was proposed for continuous real-time monitoring of pollutants. The response curves demonstrate that Photobacterium phosphoreum immobilized on the strontium alginate were very sensitive to seven reference chemicals used. The significant inhibitory concentrations for bioluminescence emission were 5 ppm for Pb$(NO_3)_2$), $NiCl_2$, $CdCl_2$, 50 ppm for $NaASO_2$, 0.1 ppm for $HgCl_2$, 0.5 ppm for pentachlorophenol and less than 5 ppm for SDS, respectively. The alginate mixed-cells (AMC) retained their luminescence during experimental period (29 days) under storage condition of $-80^{\circ}C$. The variables affecting performance of continuous flow through monitoring (CFTM) was optimized in order to ensure stability and efficiency. The flow through cell with strontium-alginate immobilized luminescent bacteria was tested with salicylate and 4-nitrophenol. A rapid response of luminescence was recorded by time drive mode in bioluminescence spectrometer after exposure to both toxicants.

지구 온난화로 인한 제주도의 해양 생태계는 지난 20년동안 온대에서 아열대로 변화되었다. 이러한 기후 변화는 난대성 어류가 서식할 수 있는 환경이 되며, 최근 제주 연안에서는 가시복(diodon holoanthus)이 발견되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가시복의 장내미생물의 다양성을 파악하였다. 그리고 다양한 균주 중 어류 또는 인체 유해세균 가능성을 확인하고자 항균 활성 탐색을 수행하였다. Proteobacteria는 분리 된 균주 중 91%를 차지한 우점문으로 γ-proteobacteria강은 11속 142종으로 Vibrio속 35%, Photobacterium속 32%, Shewanella속 6%, Psychrobacter속 4%, Acinetobacter속 3% 및 나머지 Enterovibrio, Moraxella_g2속이 각각 1%를 차지했다. α-proteobactera강은 5속 5종으로 Brevundimonas속, Allorhizobium속, Pseudoceanicola속, Erythrobacter속 및 Methylobacterium속이 각각 1%로 나타났다. Firmicutes문 Bacilli강은 6속 10종으로 Bacillus속 5%가 가장 높았고 나머지 Terribacillus속, Paenibacillus속, Salinicoccus속, Staphylococcus속 및 Streptococcus속은 1%로 관찰됐다. Actinobacteria문 Actinobacteria강은 3속 3종으로 Janibacter속, Micrococcus속 및 Isoptericola속이 각각 1%를 차지했다.
