Abstract

The biodiversity of eukaryotic plankton has commonly been used to evaluate the status of aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, an accurate and rapid method for species identification is needed to reveal the biodiversity of environmental water samples. To date, molecular methods have provided a great deal of information that has enabled identification of the hidden biodiversity in environmental samples. In this study, we utilized environmental polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and constructed the 18S nuclear ribosomal RNA clone library from environmental water samples in order to develop more efficient methods for species identification. For the molecular analysis, water samples were collected from the Seonakdong River (Gimhae Bridge) and the coast of Namhae，(Namhaedo). Colony PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism of PCR (PCR-RFLP) were then adopted to isolate unique clones from the 18S rDNA clone library. Restriction fragment length polymorphism pattern analysis of the Gimhae Bridge sample revealed 44 unique clones from a total of 60 randomly selected clones, while analysis of the Namhae sample revealed 27 unique clones from 150 clones selected at random. A BLAST search and subsequent phylogenetic analysis conducted using the sequences of these clones revealed hidden biodiversity containing a wide range of taxonomic groups (Heterokontophyta (7), Ciliophora (23), Dinophyta (1), Chytridiomycota (1), Rotifera (1) and Arthropoda (11) in the Gimhae Bridge samples Ciliophora (4), Dinophyta (3), Cryptophyta (1), Arthropoda (19) in the Namhae samples). Therefore, the molecular monitoring method developed here can provide additional information regarding the biodiversity and community structure of eukaryotic plankton in environmental samples and helps construct a useful database of biodiversity for aquatic ecosystems.

플랑크톤의 종다양성은 특정 지역의 수계환경 변화 모니터링에 있어 중요 생태지표로써, 환경 평가에 유용한 정보로 사용되고 있다. 기존의 종다양성 평가는 주로 형태학적 형질에 근거한 종동정을 통해 이루어졌으나, 많은 시간과 전문성을 필요로 하고 연구자의 주관적 판단에 의존하는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 채수된 환경시료에 대해 보다 빠르고 정확한 플랑크톤 종다양성을 파악하기 위하여 분자마커를 활용한 분자모니터링 기법을 도입하였다. 서낙동강(김해교)과 남해 연얀(남해도) 정점에서 각각 채수된 환경시료에서 DNA를 추출한 후 18S nuclear ribosomal RNA 유전자를 대상으로 중합효소연쇄반응을 수행하였다. 클로닝 과정을 통해 만들어진 각각의 클론 라이브러리에서 클론을 무작위로 선택하여 제한효소절편다형성 패턴분석을 한 후 특이성을 가지는 클론을 선별하였다. 김해교에서는 60개 블론을 대상으로 44개의 특이적 클론을 선별하였고 남해에서는 150개 클론을 대상으토 27개의 클론을 선별하였다. 이틀 클론틀에 대한 염기서열 분석결과 다양한 계통분류군에 속승하는 플랑크톤의 종조성 결과를 보여주었다(김해교: Heterokontophyta(7), Ciliophora(23), Dinophyta(l), Chytridiomycota(l), Rotifera(I), Arthropoda (11), 남해: Ciliophora( 4), Dinophyta(3), Crγptophyta(l)，Arthropoda(19)). 본 연구를 통하여 분자마커를 활용한 분자모니터링 기법이 기존 형태학적 형질에 근거한 분석이 가지는 한계를 보완하여 채수된 환경시료의 종조성 분석에 효율적으로 사용될 수 있다고 판단된다.
