우리나라에서 진주양식의 대상패류인 진주조개 (Pinctada fucata martensii) 담륜자를 냉동보존하기 위하여 4가지 동해방지제를 사용하여 냉동실험을 실시하고, 적합한 동해방지제를 찾고자 하였다. 동해방지제인 dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol, glycerol과 1, 2-propanediol을 희석액인 0.2 M sucrose에 각각 0.01, 0.1, 1.0과 2.0 M이 되도록 혼합한 다음, 10
To find out the desirable cryoprotectant for cryopreservation of bivalve trochophores, four types of cryoprotectant were tested with trochophores of the pearl oyster (pinctada fucata martensii) generally used in the pearl production in Korea. Each cryoprotectant (dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol, glycerol and 1,2-propanediol) was mixed with 0.2 M sucrose to make final concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 and 2.0 M. The trochophores were immersed in each preparation, waiting for 10 minutes to reach equilibration and cryopreserved in the liquid nitrogen (-l96). Survival rate of trochophores thawed after cryopreservation increased as the media concentration increase. However, a few number of the trochophores seemed to be damaged with the efflux of cell inclusions. Our study rsults indicate that desirable cryoprotectants for cryopreservation of pearl oyster trochophores are 1.0~2.0 M dimethyl sulfoxide and ethylene glycol : 82.8~97.4% of the trochophores cryopreserved with these media survived after thawing.
