Abstract
와편모류는 해양의 주요 일차 생산자로서, 독립영양성, 종속영양성 및 혼합영양성 등의 다양한 영양방식을 가지는 생물군으로서 해양 미소먹이망에서 중요한 생태학적 역할을 담당하고 있다. 그러나 와편모류에 대한 대부분의 연구가 연안이나 외해의 표영생태계에 국한되어 수행되었으며, 사질조간대에 서식하는 저서성 와편모류에 대한 연구는 매우 미흡하며, 국내에서는 제주연안을 제외하고는 거의 전무하다. 본 연구는 전라북도 서해안에 위치한 동호의 사질조간대에서 2012년 11월부터 2014년 2월까지 매월 간조기에 저서성 와편모류의 출현양상을 조사하고 주요 출현종의 28S rDNA 염기서열을 획득하여 분자계통학적 분석을 실시하였다. 연구기간동안 Gymnodiniales, Gonyaulacales, Peridiniales, Prorocentrales의 4개 목에 속하는 총 13속 27종의 저서성 와편모류가 출현하였고, Amphidinium 속이 9종으로 가장 다양한 종이 출현하였다. 동호를 비롯하여 서해안에 위치한 모항, 송호, 가마미와 제주 협재에서 분리한 저서성 와편모류 총 16종, 34개 종주에서 28S rDNA 염기서열 정보를 성공적으로 확보하였으며, 분자계통학적 분석에 이용하였다. Amphidinium에 속하는 종들은 Gymodiniales 목의 4개의 분기군 가운데 3개의 분기군에 걸쳐서 분지하여, 다계통학적(polyphyletic) 특성을 나타내었다. 28S rDNA염기서열을 이용한 유전적 거리를 비교한 결과 국내에서 출현한 Amphidinium mootonorum 종주들은 캐나다에서 분리한 종주와 19.2%의 유전적 차이를 보여 종내 변이가 출현 종들 가운데 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 해역에서 독성 와편모류인 Amphidinium carterae와 A. operculatum이 간헐적으로 출현하여 이들의 독성과 정량적인 모니터링이 추후에 필요하다. Dinoflagellates are ubiquitous and important primary producers in the oceans. They have diverse trophic modes, i.e., phototrophic, heterotrophic, and mixotrophic modes and thereby, play important ecological role in marine microbial food-web. While many studies have been focused on planktonic dinoflagellates in pelagic ecosystems, benthic, sand-dwelling dinoflagellates that inhabit in intertidal zone have been very poorly documented worldwide. We investigated biodiversity, occurrence, and molecular phylogeny of benthic, sand-dwelling dinoflagellates from the intertidal flat of Dongho, west coast of Korea during low-tide, monthly from November 2012 to February 2014. About 27 species of 13 genera in orders Gonyaulacales, Gymnodiniales, Peridiniales, Prorocentrales have been identified, of which members in the genus Amphidinium constituted a major part of the sand-dwelling dinoflagellates in this area. A total of 34 isolates from 16 species of the sand-dwelling dinoflagellates were isolated from Dongho, Mohang, Gamami, and Songho in the west coast and Hyupjae in Jeju of Korea, their 28S rDNA sequences were successfully amplified, and applied for molecular phylogenetic analyses. In the 28S rDNA phylogeny, Amphidinium species diverged across three major clusters within the order Gymnodiniales and formed polyphyletic group. Based on the unambiguously aligned partial 28S rDNA sequences including variable D2 region, the genotypes of Amphidinium mootonorum Korean strains greatly differed from that of Canadian strain with 19.2% of pairwise nucleotide difference, suggesting that further ultrastructural studies may provide additional characters to clearly separate these genotypes. Two potential toxic species, Amphidinium carterae and A. operculatum appeared occasionally during this study. Quantitative assessment and toxicity of those species should be addressed in the future.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
