Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of geosmin production of Anabaena circinalis under different environmental condition. The test cyanobacterium was isolated from Lake Paldang. The growth rate and geosmin production of A. circinalis were examined with different variables including temperature (10, 15, 20, $25^{\circ}C$), light intensity (60, 120, $240{\mu}mol\;photons\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$), and phosphorus concentration (0.01, 0.05, 0.25, 0.50, $1.00mg\;L^{-1}$). The highest growth rate and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration appeared at $25^{\circ}C$, $60{\mu}mol\;photons\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ and $1.00mgP\;L^{-1}$ for temperature, light intensity, and P concentration, respectively. Total geosmin production was highest at the optimal growth condition of each variable, while chlorophyll-specific geosmin production (the ratio of geosmin to Chl-a) was higher at the less favorable growth condition, indicating high potential of the off-flavor problem during low temperature period, e.g., late fall and early winter. Our results demonstrated that geosmin production of A. circinalis was directly related to chlorophyll synthesis and varied with cellular growth condition.

본 연구는 온도, 광도, 인 등 서로 다른 환경 조건 하에서 Anabaena circinalis의 지오스민 생산 특성을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 실험에 사용한 남조류는 팔당호에서 분리되었다. 남조류 A. circinalis의 성장률과 지오스민 생산은 온도(10, 15, 20, $25^{\circ}C$), 광도(60, 120, $240{\mu}mol\;photons\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$), 인 농도(0.01, 0.05, 0.25, 0.50, $1.00mg\;L^{-1}$) 등 여러 요인들을 통해서 조사하였다. 최고 성장률과 Chl-a 농도는 온도 $25^{\circ}C$, 광도 $60{\mu}mol\;photons\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ 및 인 농도 $1.00mgP\;L^{-1}$에서 각각 나타났다. 총 지오스민 생산량은 각 환경요인의 최적 성장 조건에서 가장 높았으며, 지오스민 생산 잠재력(Chl-a 농도에 대한 지오스민 생산 비율)은 늦가을 및 초겨울과 같은 저온 기간을 포함한 불리한 성장조건에서 높았다. 본 연구 결과는 A. circinalis의 지오스민 생산이 엽록소 합성과 직접적인 관련이 있고 세포 성장 조건에 따른 다양한 변화 가능성을 나타내었다.
