Abstract

Harmful Algal Bloom Alert System (HABAS) for drinking water supply is require to fast and accurate count as system monitoring of cyanobacterium occurrence and inducing a response action. We measured correlation between colony size and cell number including genus Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Microcystis, Oscillatoria which are targeted at HABAS, deducted from standard formula, and suggested calculation method from colony size to the number of cell. We collected cyanobacteria samples at Han River (Paldang reservoir), Nakdong River (Dalseong weir, Changnyeonghaman weir) and Geum River (Gobok reservoir) from August to October, 2013. Also, we studied correlation between colony size and cell number, and calculated regression equation. As a result of correlation of harmful cyanobacteria by genus, Anabaena spp. and Aphanizomenon spp. having trichome showed high correlation coefficients more than 0.93 and Microcystis spp. having colony showed correlation coefficient of 0.76. As a result of correlation of harmful cyanobacteria by species, Anabaena crassa, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, A. issatschenkoi, Oscillatoria curviceps, O. mougeotii having trichome showed high correlation coefficients from 0.89 to 0.96, and Microcystis aeruginosa, M. wessenbergii, M. viridis having colony showed correlation coefficients from 0.76 to 0.88. Compared with other genus Microcystis relatively showed low correlation because even species and colony size are the same, cell density and cell size are different from Microcystis strains. In this study, using calculated regression might be fast and simple method of cell counting. From now on, we need to secure additional samples, and make a decision to study about other species.

국내 상수원을 대상으로 시행하고 있는 조류경보제는 남조류 발생 현황을 취 정수장 등 물관리 기관에 전파하여 대응조치를 유도하는 제도로 신속하고 정확한 남조류 계수를 필요로 한다. 따라서 조류경보제 발령 기준 대상 남조류인 Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Microcystis, Oscillatoria 속의 군체 크기와 세포수의 상관관계를 조사하고 회귀식을 도출하여 군체 크기로 세포수를 계산할 수 있는 방법을 알아보고자 하였다. 2013년 8월부터 10월까지 남조류가 과다증식한 시기에 한강(팔당호), 낙동강(달성보, 창녕함안보) 및 금강(고복저수지)의 대표지점에서 남조류 시료를 채집하였으며, 조류경보제 발령 기준 대상 남조류 속의 종별 군체 크기와 세포수의 상관 관계를 조사하여 종 및 속별 회귀식을 산정하였다. 남조류의 속별 상관분석 결과는 사상형인 Anabaena와 Aphanizomenon의 $r^2$값이 0.93 이상으로 높은 상관성을 보였으며 구형의 Microcystis는 0.76의 상관계수 값을 나타냈다. 종 별 상관분석 결과 사상형 남조류 Anabaena crassa, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, A. issatschenkoi, Oscillatoria curviceps, O. mougeotii는 $r^2$값이 0.89~0.96의 범위로 높은 상관성을 나타냈으며, 구형인 Microcystis aeruginosa, M. wessenbergii, M. viridis는 0.76~0.88의 상관계수 값을 나타냈다. 다른 속에 비해 상대적으로 Microcystis의 상관성이 낮게 나타난 이유는 동일한 종, 동일한 크기의 군체라도 Microcystis strain에 따라 점액질 내의 세포 밀집 정도와 세포 크기에 차이가 있기 때문이다. 본 연구 결과 도출한 회귀식을 이용하여 군체 크기 측정값을 세포수로 환산하는 방법이 기존의 세포 계수법과 비교할 때 신속하고 간편할 것으로 보인다. 향후 남조류 종별 더 정확한 회귀식을 도출하기 위해서는 많은 시료수 확보와 더불어 다른 종들에 대한 조사 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
