Abstrakt: Three species of Mallomonas(M. crassisquama, M. elongataand M. tonsurata) were isolated from Kachang dam in Daegu, Korea and the individual species were grown as batch cultures in the laboratory. The growth characteristics of these species were investigated at different temperatures and pH. Mallomonas crassisquamaexhibited the highest growth rates (μmax) at 18°C, whereas the maximum growth rates of M. elongataand M. tonsuratawere observed at 21°C. The maximum growth rates of M. crassisquamaand M. elongatawere observed at pH 6, and M. tonsurataexhibited maximum growth rate at pH 5. Mallomonas crassisquamaand M. tonsuratashowed high growth rate between pH 4 and 6, and M. elongatashowed high growth rate below pH 7. The three species showed similar growth characteristics except that M. elongataproliferated at a narrower temperature range and at a wider pH range than other two species.
