According to the "Korea Economic News" reported on the 18th, South Korean scientists recently discovered that a marine microorganism is expected to be used to treat red tides.
South Korean scientists first discovered this microorganism in the ocean in 1996, and it was initially named "Hahella" at an international academic conference. Scientists from the Korea Institute of Zoology and Korea’s Institute of Marine Research recently found this marine microorganism again from the sea off the island of Merro, located south of the Korean peninsula, and named it “Hachala under Jejuâ€.
South Korean scientists performed a genome sequencing analysis of “Hahra under Jeju†and discovered that this microbe can produce prodigiosin that can remove red tides. Spreading the prodigiosin into the red tide, at a concentration of one part per billion, will kill most of the plankton that causes the red tide in an hour.
At present, Korean scientists have applied for Korean and international patents for prodigiosin. Prodigiosin is expected to undergo toxicity testing and environmental impact testing, and will be put into use as a product for treating red tides after 3 years.
