폐양액 활용을 위한 Filamentous Cyanobacteria의 선발 및 최적배양

The discharge of waste nutrient solution from greenhouse to natural ecosystem leads to the accumulation of excess nutrients that results in contamination or eutrophication. There is a need to recycle the waste nutrient solution in order to prevent the environmental hazards. The amount and kind of nutrients in waste nutrient solution might be enough to grow photosynthetic microorganisms. Hence in the present study, we examined the growth and mass cultivation of cyanobacteria in the waste nutrient solution with an objective of removing N and P and concomitantly, its mass cultivation. Four photosynthetic filamentous cyanobacteria (Anabaena HA101, HA701 and Nostoc HN601, HN701) isolated from composts and soils of the Chungnam province were used as culture strains. Among the isolates, Nostoc HN601 performed faster growth rate and higher N and P uptake in the BG-II ($NO_3{^-}$) medium when compared to those of other cyanobacterial strains. Finally, the selected isolate was tested under optimum conditions (airflow at the rate of $1L\;min^{-1}$. in 15 L reactor, initial pH 8) in waste nutrient solution from tomato hydroponic in green house condition. Results showed to remove 100% phosphate from the waste nutrient solution in the tomato hydroponics recorded over a period of 7 days. The growth rate of Nostoc HN601 was $16mg\;Chl-a\;L^{-1}$ in the waste nutrient solution from tomato hydroponics with optimum condition, whereas growth rate of Nostoc HN601 was only $9.8mg\;Chl-a\;L^{-1}$ in BG-11 media. Nitrogen fixing capacity of Nostoc HN601 was $20.9nmol\;C_2H_4\;mg^{-1}\;Chl-a\;h^{-1}$ in N-free BG-11. The total nitrogen and total phosphate concentration of Nostoc HN601 were 63.3 mg N gram dry weight $(GDW)^{-1}$ and $19.1mg\;P\;GDW^{-1}$ respectively. Collectively, cyanobacterial mass production using waste nutrient solution under green house condition might be suitable for recycling and cleaning of waste nutrient solution from hydroponic culture system. Biomass of cyanobacteria, cultivated in waste nutrient solution, could be used as biofertilizer. 최근 시설 재배지에서는 사용된 배양액을 그냥 방출하고 있어서 지표수의 부영양화와 지하수의 오염을 유발시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이와 같은 폐양액 처리 기술이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내토양에서 분리된 광합성 독립영양 세균인 cyanobactria 중 우수한 균주를 선발하고 이의 생장에 필요한 다량의 N, P와 미량 필수원소 등 각종영양 물질이 충분히 함유된 폐양액을 이용하여 광합성 세균을 대량배양 하고자 하였다. 4종 (Anabaena HA101, HA701과 Nostoc HN601, HN701)의 미세조류 중 BG-II ($NO_3{^-}$) 액체배지에서 생장과 양분흡수능이 우수한 균체는 Nostoc HN601이었고, 이 균체는 질소 고정능 뿐만 아니라 균체 내 양분 보유능이 우수하여 본 실험을 위하여 최종 선발하였다. 선발된 Nosto
