The biosorption performances of copper were investigated by the immobilized biomass of nonliving marine brown algae Undaria pinnatifida by each of the Ca-alginate method(Ca-ALG), Ba-alginate method(Ba-ALG), polyethylene glycol method(PEG), and carrageenan method (CARR). The copper removal performance increased but the copper uptake decreased as the biomass amount was increased. However, the copper uptake by the immobilized biomass increased with increasing initial copper concentration. Among the immobilization methods, the copper uptake decreased in the following sequence: Ca-ALG > Ba-ALG > PEG > CARR. The pattern of copper uptake by the immobilized biomass fitted the Langmuir isotherm better than the Freundlich isotherm. Desorption of deposited copper with 0.05 ~0.5M HCI, resulted in no changes of the copper uptake capacity of the immobilized biomass by the immobilization methods except for PEG, through five subsequent biosorption/desorption cycles. There was no damage to the immobilized biomass which retained its macroscopic appearance in repeated copper uptake/elution cycles.

Algal flora and community structure of benthic marine algae in the subtidal zone, Yeongil Bay area were studied. The number of algal species in the quadrats were identified totally 78: 2 Cyanophyta, 10 Chlorophyta, 19 Phaeophyta, and 47 Rhodophyta. The dominant species based on biomass were Sargassum hornerii, Undaria pinnatifida, and Sargassum thunbergii. Vertical distribution was clear by the representative algae such as, Undaria pinnatifida, Sargassum thunbergii, Sargassum horneri, Corallina spp. in the upper subtidal zone, Undaria pinnatifida, Sargassum horneri, Caulerpa okamurae in the middle zone, and Dictyopteris divaricata in the lower zone.

Undaria pinnatifida (UP) has long been ingested by woman who was delivered of a child. The present study was investigated to find out the contractive compound from UP and the contractive mechanism. The active extract, MeOH extract was partitioned with $CHCl_3$ and water. Whereas potassium iodide and alginic acid do not affected the uterus contraction, $CHCl_3$ extract significantly increased uterus contraction in vitro and in situ studies. The contraction by $CHCl_3$ extract was not blocked by atropine, prazosin and propranolol. Blood estrogen level was not changed by $CHCl_3$ extract.

The contents of total lipids from Korean marine benthic algae Miyeok(Undaria pinnatifida) and Pare(Enteromorpha compressa)were 1.8% and 0.7% on the dry basis, respectively. They were fractionated by silicic acid column chromatography and identified by gae liquid chromatography. The ratios of neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids in total lipids were 3.5 : 74.1 : 22.4 in Miyeok and 33.1 : 48.4 : 18.5 in Pare. Total fatty acids in Miyeok and Pare were composed of 28.5 and 33.2% of saturates, 9.8 and 10.8% of monoenes, 61.7 and 56.0% of polyenes, respectively and the polyunsaturated acid was the most predominent component. $\omega$-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were C18:4(15.9 and 17.1%) and C20:5(10.6 and 6.0%).

The effects of temperature, light, and salinity on the growth of Costaria costata and Undaria pinnatifida juveniles were examined in laboratory cultures. In a cultivation farm, the monthly yield and density were also investigated between December and April for C. costata and between December and March in 2007 and 2008 for U. pinnatifida. The relative growth rates (RGRs) were greater at $20{\sim}60\;{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$ than at low ($0{\sim}10\;{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$) and high ($100{\sim}180\;{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$) irradiance levels. The optimal growth conditions for the two species were $17^{\circ}C$, 35 psu, $60\;{\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$, and a daylength of 12 h, indicating that C. costata and U. pinnatifida have very similar growth responses to temperature, light, and salinity. However, the growth responses of the two species to various environmental factors were different; C. costata grew faster than U. pinnatifida but the latter species grew well at low salinity. The monthly yield of C. costata and U. pinnatifida increased steadily over the study period, and it was maximal in March for both species, but the yield of U. pinnatifida was greater than that of C. costata.

미역포자엽으로부터 열수추출을 통해 항산화물질을 조제하고 항산화와 관련된 특성을 조사하였다. 미역포자엽으로부터 조제한 열수추출물은 시료 양에 따라 2차곡선의 항산화능을 보여주었으며 $IC_{50}$ 의 값은 1.54 mg을 나타내었다. 이는 ascorbic acid 0.005 mg과 BHT 0.05 mg 에 비해서는 높은 값을 나타내었다. 미역포자엽으로부터 조제한 열수추출물의 pH안정성은 산성과 중성에서는 안정하였으나 알카리영역에서는 급격히 감소하였다. 또한 열안정성은 0도에서 120도의 모든 범위에서 안정한 값을 유지하였다. 미역포자엽으로부터 조제한 열수추출물의 금속이온과 EDTA가 항산화능에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 $Cu^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$ 등의 금속이온이 활성이 증가하는 결과를 보여주었으며 EDTA는 저해하는 결과를 보여주었다.

미역(Undaria pinnatifida) 포자를 사용한 생태독성 시험법은 연중 상시 이용하기에 어렵다. 미역의 암배우체는 실험실에서 배양할 수 있기 때문에, 포자의 단점을 보완하고 상시 생태독성 시험에 사용할 수 있다. 따라서 미역의 암배우체를 생태독성 시험에 활용하기 위해 다양한 환경조건에 노출된 미역의 암배우체 생존율과 상대성장률의 변화를 분석하였다. 미역 암배우체는 염분(5~40 psu), 온도(5~30℃), pH (2~10), 광량(0~120 μmol photon m^-2 s^-1)에 노출되었다. 암배우체의 생존율은 최고 평균값을 기준으로 온도 20℃, 염분 27.5 psu, pH 8, 광량 30 μmol photon m^-2 s^-1에서 가장 높았다. 상대성장률은 최고 평균값을 기준으로 온도 15℃, 염문 35 psu, pH 9, 광량 60 μmol photon m^-2 s^-1에서 가장 높았다. 본 연구결과를 통해 미역 암배우체의 생존율과 상대성장률을 활용하여 연안환경을 상시 신속하게 평가하기 위한 효율적인 방법으로 활용이 기대된다.

An ethanolic extract of Undaria pinnatifida was fractionated using several solvents. Of the fractions, the ethyl acetate fraction had the greatest inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Using this fraction (U. pinnatifida ethyl acetate extract, UPE), we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying its inhibitory effect on LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Pretreatment of the cells with up to $100{\mu}g/mL$ UPE significantly inhibited NO production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, in a dose-dependent manner. Similarly, UPE treatment markedly reduced the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), while it strongly suppressed the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$) by preventing proteolytic degradation of inhibitor of nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ $(I{\kappa}B)-{\alpha}$. Moreover, UPE treatment significantly reduced the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in LPS-stimulated cells. These results indicate that UPE contains anti-inflammatory compounds and suggest that it might be used as a functional food material that assists in prevention of inflammatory diseases.

The non-utilized biomass of the aquacultured seaweed Undaria pinnatifida, particularly the rhizoid, is an alternative source of arachidonic acid (AA). Of the five aquacultured kelps that were tested, U. pinnatifida yielded the highest amount of AA, which was isolated from the rhizoids. Its identity (C20:4 n-6) was confirmed from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry spectral data. The optimal conditions for post-harvest storage or pretreatment of the rhizoids in Provasoli's enriched seawater for AA extraction were determined to be pH 7.8, 2% $CO_2$-enriched air, 20 ${\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ light, and $10^{\circ}C$. Under these conditions, the AA content after 1 day of storage was enhanced by up to 127%. In the absence of light under ambient aeration, the AA content after 1 day of storage diminished to 90%. Rhizoids collected late in the season (April and May) contained the highest amounts of AA (approximately 2.5 mg/g tissue).

This study was conducted to examine the bleaching of an anti-inflammatory agent containing Undaria pinnatifida extract (AIAU). Brown-colored AIAU was irradiated with $^{60}CO$ gamma rays at doses ranging from 10-200 kGy. Discoloring of the anti-inflammatory agent was achieved by gamma irradiation, with significantly removal by 50 kGy irradiation. The main active compound of the agent consisted of 4% U. pinnatifida extract, which inhibited inflammatory symptoms in mouse ear edema by 93%. There was no change in effects against edema, erythema, blood flow and radical scavenging activity by irradiation.
