여러 가지 은나노물질(SNPs)의 M. aeruginosa 생장에 대한 영향을 실내, 외 실험을 통해 조사하였다. 제조된 4가지 SNPs는 농도 $200mg\;L^-1$, 입자크기 $20{\sim}40nm$, 갈색 Ag로서의 수용액이었으며 이 용액들을 각각 실험에 사용하였다. SNPs는 unicellular M. aeruginosa에 대하여 0.01, $0.1mg\;L^-1$의 첨가농도에서 각각 99.4%, 99.9%의 조류 생장억제 효과를 나타냈으며, colonial M. aeruginosa에 대하여는 여러 가지 농도 중 $1mg\;L^-1$의 농도에서 가장 높은 생장억제 효과(98.5%)를 나타냈다. 더욱이 부영양화한 현장에서 SNPs를 첨가한 enclosure 실험을 통해 M. aeruginosa에 대한 선택적 제어 가능성이 시사되었다. 본 연구를 통해서 향후 SNPs를 더욱 보완하면 M. aeruginosa를 비롯한 유해 남조의 선택적 제어에 좀더 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

Microorganisms that live in the rhizosphere play a pivotal role in the functioning and maintenance of soil ecosystems. The study of rhizospheric cyanobacteria has been hampered by the difficulty to culture and maintain them in the laboratory. The present work investigated the production of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the potential of biofilm formation on the rhizoplane of pea plants by two cyanobacterial strains, isolated from rice rhizosphere. The unicellular cyanobacteria Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 that were isolated from a rice rhizosphere, were investigated. Production of IAA by Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 was measured under experimental conditions (pH and light). The bioactivity of the cyanobacterial auxin was demonstrated through the alteration of the rooting pattern of Pisum sativum seedlings. The increase in the concentration of L-tryptophan and the time that this amino acid was present in the medium resulted in a significant enhancement of the synthesis of IAA (r > 0.900 at p = 0.01). There was also a significant correlation between the concentration of IAA in the supernatant of the cyanobacteria cultures and the root length and number of the pea seedlings. Observations made by confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed the presence of cyanobacteria on the surface of the roots and also provided evidence for the penetration of the cyanobacteria in the endorhizosphere. We show that the synthesis of IAA by Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 occurs under different environmental conditions and that the auxin is important for the development of the seedling roots and for establishing an intimate symbiosis between cyanobacteria and host plants.

The unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina is a halotolerant eukaryotic organism. Its halophytic properties provide an important advantage for open pond mass cultivation, since D. salina can be grown selectively. D. salina was originally described by E. C. Teodoresco in 1905. Since that time, numerous isolates of D. salina have been identified from hypersaline environments on different continents. The new Dunaliella strain used for this study was isolated from the salt farm area of the west coastal side of South Korea. Cells of the new strain were approximately oval- or pear-shaped (approximately $16-24\;{\mu}m$ long and $10-15\;{\mu}m$ wide), and contained one pyrenoid, cytoplasmatic granules, and no visible eyespot. Although levels of $\beta$-carotene per cell were relatively low in cells grown at salinities between 0.5 to 2.5 M NaCl, cells grown at 4.5 M NaCl contained about a ten-fold increase in cellular levels of $\beta$-carotene, which demonstrated that cells of the new Korean strain of Dunaliella can overaccumulate $\beta$-carotene in response to salt stress. Analysis of the ITS1 and ITS2 regions of the new Korean isolate showed that it is in the same clade as D. salina. Consequently, based on comparative cell morphology, biochemistry, and molecular phylogeny, the new Dunaliella isolate from South Korea was classified as D. salina KCTC10654BP.

광생물학적 수소생산 잠재력을 가진 한국산 단세포성 남세균 단종배양체를 확립하기 위하여, 2005부터 4년 동안 우리나라 연근해역의 68개 정점에서 반복적으로 시료를 채집하였다. 확보된 77개 종주의 단종배양체 가운데 6개 종주(KNU CB-MAL002, 026, 031, 054, 055, 058)는 일반적인 수소생산 조건에서 0.15 mL $H_2\;mL^{-1}$ 이상의 수소 누적량을 나타내었고, 60시간 이상의 수소 지속생산을 기록하였다. 6개 실험 종주의 수소생산을 더욱 높여주는 최적의 공정을 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로, 각 종주의 수온 및 염분 등급 별 성장도를 측정하여, 종주 간의 차이(interstrain difference)를 비교 하였다. 실험 종주 6개의 일일 최대 성장률은 1.78~2.08 범위로 높았고, 모든 실험 종주가 질소고정능을 나타내어, 광생물학적 수소생산 잠재력이 높은 것으로 예상되었다. 16S rRNA 분석결과, 실험 종주 들은 Cyanothece sp. ATCC51142와 높은 유사도(99%)를 보였으나, 6개의 종주 모두가 분자계통도에서는 ATCC51142와 서로 다른 clade에 별도로 나뉘어져, 본 실험 종주의 일부는 신종일 가능성이 있다. 엽록소-a는 건중량 대비 함유량이 3.4~7.8%의 범위로 나타났으며, 보조색소인 홍조소와 남조소의 함유량은 대서양산 남세균 Synechococcus sp. Miami BG03511의 절반 수준이었다. 최적 성장온도로 확인된 $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ 구간 밖의 온도에서는 성장이 크게 제한되었으며, $40^{\circ}C$의 고온에서는 모든 실험종주의 성장이 거의 정지됨을 확인하였다. 실험 종주들은 30 psu의 염분에서 성장이 우세하였다. 이 가운데 CB055 종주는 15 psu까지의 상대적 저염 구간에서도 높은 성장을 유지하여, 염분의 변동에 대한 내성이 높은 종주로 확인되었다. 이와 같은 광염 특성의 종주는 연안수의 계절적인 염분변화가 상대적으로 큰 온대 연안역에서 이 종주를 생물공학적으로 응용하게 될 경우, 기반해수의 계절적인 염분 변화에도 불구하고 배양 공정상의 높은 유연성을 나타내게 될 것이다. 본 연구 결과 규명된 각 종주 별 생리적 특성 자료는 향후 광생물학적 수소생산 최적공정을 확립하기 위한 모델연구에 긴요할 것이다.

Unicellular green algae of the genus Dunaliella thrive in extreme environmental conditions such as high salinity, low pH, high irradiance and subzero temperatures. Species of Dunaliella are well known in the alga biotechnological industry and are employed widely for the production of valuable biochemicals, such as carotenoids. Some strains of Dunaliella are cultivated commercially in large outdoor ponds and are harvested to produce dry algal meals, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids and oils for the health food industry, and coloring agents for the food and cosmetic industries. During the past decade, the advances in molecular biology and biochemistry of microalgae, along with the advances in biotechnology of microalgal mass cultivation, enabled this microalga to become a staple of commercial exploitation. In particular, the advent of molecular biology and mutagenesis in Dunaliella has permitted enhancements in the carotenoids content of this green alga, making it more attractive for biotechnological applications. Accordingly, the present review summarizes the recent developments and advances in biotechnology of carotenoid production in Dunaliella.

The integumental secretory structure is exocrine unicellular gland located in the epidermis of goldfish, Carassius auratus, and divided into two groups, mucous and granular cells. By the histochemical studies of integumental secretions the mucos cells reacted for acidic polysaccharides, and the granular cells for neutral glycoprotein. According to concentration of the secretion the integumental mucous are gradually sulphated. The mucous cells are typical form of goblet cell located in the upper region of the epidermis, and membrane bounded vesicles of the mucous are observed several size and electron densities by the cellular differentiation. The granular cells in middle and lower epidermis are present syncitial forms occasionally, and contain electron dense granules sized $1.0{\mu}m$ which are accumulated in cytoplasmic process held the cells to the basal lamina. The precursors of the integumental secretory materials are originated from the rough endoplasmic reticulum and next transported through the Golgi apparatus as a form of membrane bounded vesicles. After accomplish this process mature secretions are extruded to integumental surface by the mechanism of merocrine secretion in response to nerve stimulations respectively.
