氮源对雨生红球藻绿色生长期细胞生长的影响

【背景】雨生红球藻(Haematococcus pluvialis)细胞能合成积累具有超强抗氧化活性的虾青素,是生产高值天然虾青素的优异藻种。【目的】解析不同氮源对雨生红球藻生长的效应,以期建立优化氮素营养提高雨生红球藻生物量和虾青素产量的技术体系。【方法】选用Na NO3和NH_4Cl为氮源、辅以pH缓冲液Hepes,培养雨生红球藻藻株797,测试2种不同氮源对雨生红球藻藻液pH、营养生长期(绿色生长期)藻细胞生长、叶绿素含量和生物量等的影响。【结果】以Na NO3为氮源培养的雨生红球藻细胞的比生长速率、生物量、叶绿素a和叶绿素b含量均高于以NH_4Cl为氮源培养的藻细胞。不同氮源对雨生红球藻培养液的pH值有显著影响,NH_4Cl氮源导致培养液pH值降低,然而Na NO3氮源则导致培养液pH值上升。添加pH缓冲液Hepes能有效稳定培养液的pH值,并促进雨生红球藻的生长,尤以NH_4Cl为氮源添加Hepes的效果更显著。不同氮源导致雨生红球藻营养生长阶段细胞的生长和生物量等差异主要源于不同氮源引起藻液pH的变化。【结论】添加pH缓冲液Hepes可有效控制藻液pH,进而显著促进以Na NO3和NH_4Cl为氮源的雨生红球藻营养生长阶段细胞的生长和生物量积累。

不同氮源对异养小球藻生物量和油脂积累的影响

小球藻因其快速生长和易培养等特性可用于制备生物能源。与传统的光自养相比,异养小球藻可获得更多的生物量和更高的油脂含量。低成本的马铃薯淀粉水解液可作为小球藻的理想碳源,在氮饥饿条件下可诱导产生更多的油脂。为了探讨不同氮源对异养小球藻生物量和油脂积累的影响,并筛选出异养条件下的最适氮源,实验研究了不同浓度无机氮源NaNO3以及有机氮源丙氨酸和酪氨酸对异养小球藻生物量和油脂积累的影响。以马铃薯淀粉水解液为唯一碳源,在SE培养基中分别添加不同氮源培养小球藻。设定的NaNO3和丙氨酸浓度均为1.5 mmol/L、3.0 mmol/L、6.0 mmol/L,酪氨酸浓度为0.75 mmol/L、1.5 mmol/L和3.0mmol/L。所有小球藻培养实验均为暗培养并持续10 d时间。实验过程测定的指标为:小球藻的细胞数目、比生长速率、叶绿素含量、中性脂含量和总脂含量。实验结果表明:(1)在异养条件下以硝酸盐为无机氮源时,氮源促进叶绿素积累从而促进小球藻的生长,减少硝态氮可以使小球藻快速进入稳定期积累油脂。在NaNO3中氮含量为1.5 mmol/L时,生物量和油脂含量分别为2.65 g/L和51.21%,总油脂含量为1.36 g/L。(2)在不添加其他氮源的异养培养基中,丙氨酸可促进小球藻的生物量增加,在稳定期仍促进单位细胞的叶绿素含量,但总油脂含量普遍偏低。(3)酪氨酸可抑制小球藻生物量增加,使细胞膨大从而促进单位细胞内叶绿素和油脂合成,油脂含量高达38.78%—47.02%。这些结果表明小球藻可通过诱导氨基酸转运系统适应氮源的变化,其中酪氨酸所在的第三个转运系统在葡萄糖诱导条件下可促进油脂的合成。     

硫和pH对蛋白核小球藻光照产氢的影响

在有无硫及pH5.0-8.0下对蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)光照产氢的影响进行了研究。结果表明,在持续光照(165μmolm-2s-1)条件下,从有硫培养液(TAP培养液)内叶绿素a含量、Fv/Fm值及ΦPSII值的变化表明蛋白核小球藻在pH6.0-7.0时生长最佳,生长旺盛易形成暂时的无氧环境而利于藻产氢。最高的产氢速率和总产氢量出现在pH7.0,分别是0.10mlmg-1chlh-1和1.39ml。从无硫培养液(TAP-S培养液)内叶绿素a含量、Fv/Fm值及ΦPSII值的变化表明蛋白核小球藻生长明显受抑制,形成的无氧环境持久,故产氢持久,总产氢量比有硫培养液内高。蛋白核小球藻在pH5.5培养液内的Fv/Fm值后期高于其他4种pH值的,表明潜在的PSII光化学效率高,在光照条件下产氢电子主要来源于PSII,故pH5.5的无硫培养液内藻的产氢速率和总产氢量最大,分别是0.58mlmg-1chlh-1和10.98ml。说明pH为5.5的无硫培养液是蛋白核小球藻产氢的最佳条件。     

pH及无机氮化合物对细脉浮萍生长的影响

研究以细脉浮萍 ( Lemna aequinoctialis)为研究对象 ,在完全培养液的基础上模拟生活污水的氨氮、硝酸氮浓度和 p H范围 ,研究了培养条件对其生长的影响。结果表明 ,这个浮萍种对 p H耐受的低限在 4～ 5之间 ,最适 p H范围为 5～ 6。非离子态的氨会对其生长产生抑制作用 ,在氨氮为唯一氮源的条件下 ,非离子态氨的浓度大于 0 .1 mg/L时会对此种的生长产生明显的抑制作用 ,接近 2 mg/L时 ,基本上致死。在研究的氨氮和硝酸氮浓度范围内 ( <40 mg N /L) ,铵根离子和硝酸根离子浓度增加可促进细脉浮萍的生长。氨氮中生长的植株过氧化物酶活性高于硝酸氮中的活性。     

pH值对沼液培养的普通小球藻生长及油含量积累的影响

以50％的沼液为普通小球藻的全营养培养基,考察培养基的起始pH值对小球藻生长及油脂含量的影响,普通小球藻对不同初始pH的沼液中氮、磷的去除情况。设定了2组实验,一组只调节初始接种培养液的pH,分别为6.0、6.5、7.0、7.5、8.0、8.5;另一组将培养液pH分别固定在6.0、6.5、7.0、7.5、8.0、8.5,pH用稀HCl和NaOH进行调节。研究发现在pH 6.5和pH 7.0的偏酸环境有利于小球藻生长,而pH在7.0~8.5的偏碱性条件下有利于小球藻油脂的积累,因此综合小球藻生长和油脂积累2个因素,得到最适合小球藻生长和油脂积累的pH为7.0。培养结束后沼液中氮磷的去除率分别达到了95％和97％,沼液中的总氮由原来的134.91 mg/L降至4.86 mg/L,总磷由10.19 mg/L降到0.32 mg/L。     

黑暗条件下不同氮源对铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)生长和pH的影响

在黑暗条件下,利用不同形态的氮源(硝酸盐氮,氨氮,有机氮和硝酸盐氮,有机氮)培养蓝藻水华优势种铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa),分析其氮代谢和对水体pH的影响.研究结果表明,在不同氮源的培养液中铜绿微囊藻密度在最初的24 h内出现波动,之后下降.培养液中pH值在试验最初的24 h显著下降,之后趋于稳定,在硝态氮培养液中pH值下降最大,从8.18下降到7.19,其反硝化作用产生的NO-2浓度也最大.不同氮源培养液中总氮含量都有所下降,以混合氮源培养液中总氮减少量最大,说明化合态氮经过反硝化作用生成了氮气并溢出培养液,因此,在黑夜条件下藻华水体中存在反硝化作用.     

重要环境因子对小球藻去除污水中氮磷的影响

对小球藻去除污水中氮磷的性能进行了研究,考察了初始氮磷浓度、氮磷比、光照条件和pH等因素对其去除效率的影响。结果表明,在初始氮磷浓度分别在35 mg/L和7 mg/L以下时去除率接近100%;氮磷比为5∶1和10∶1,小球藻第4 d基本完全去除了污水中的氨态氮,而氮磷比对小球藻的除磷能力没有显著影响;在初始氨态氮或总磷浓度相同的条件下,光照条件(L/D为24 h∶0 h和12 h∶12 h)对氮磷去除效果的无明显差异性（P＞0.05）,而随着氮磷浓度的增加,连续光照条件逐渐展现出去除氮磷的优势;小球藻在pH 7～8范围内对氨态氮的去除率最佳,pH 5～7范围内,对总磷的去除率最佳。     

氮素形态对小白菜生长和碳氮积累的影响

水培条件下,研究不同氮素形态(硝态氮、铵态氮、甘氨酸、谷氨酰胺、丙氨酸、牛血清蛋白,以及甘氨酸与硝态氮、牛血清蛋白与硝态氮的混合氮源)对小白菜生长和碳氮积累的影响.结果表明:不同氮素形态对小白菜质量、碳氮积累量、可溶性蛋白质含量、可溶性糖含量和游离氨基酸含量的影响不同;硝态氮处理下小白菜地上部分和根的干质量与鲜质量均最大;甘氨酸对小白菜根系的生长及碳氮积累具有明显的促进作用;在3种氨基酸中,谷氨酰胺更有利于小白菜地上部分的生长和氮积累.聚类分析表明,9种氮素形态处理按营养效应大小分为:硝态氮、谷氨酰胺＞甘氨酸与硝态氮混合氮源、牛血清蛋白与硝态氮混合氮源、甘氨酸、铵态氮＞丙氨酸、牛血清蛋白、对照.有机氮源可以作为小白菜生长的氮源,不同的氮素形态对植物产生的生理效应不同.     

外来入侵植物薇甘菊的2种化感物质对土壤氮循环的影响

为揭示薇甘菊(Mikania micrantha)通过化感作用影响土壤养分循环的入侵机制,通过外源添加薇甘菊2种化感物质(绿原酸和β-石竹烯),测定其对土壤氮素和氮循环功能菌的影响。结果表明,添加绿原酸和β-石竹烯均显著降低了土壤铵态氮含量,添加绿原酸显著提高了土壤硝态氮含量,β-石竹烯则对土壤硝态氮含量无显著影响。其主要原因是绿原酸和β-石竹烯均显著抑制了自生固氮菌和氨化细菌的繁殖,绿原酸显著促进了氨氧化细菌和硝酸化细菌的繁殖,而β-石竹烯仅促进了氨氧化细菌的繁殖,对硝酸化细菌没有影响。因此,薇甘菊能通过化感物质绿原酸和β-石竹烯影响氮循环功能菌的繁殖从而影响土壤氮循环。     

Effect of nitrogenous resource on growth,biochemical composition and ultrastructure of Isochrysis galbana (Isochrysidales,Haptophyta)

The nitrogenous resource used to promote algal growth has cost implications for mass culture processes. The present study therefore aimed to determine the effect of different nitrogenous resources (nitrate, ammonium and urea) on various performance parameters (growth, final cell yield, pigmentation, lipid yield and cellular and sub‐cellular characteristics) in Isochrysis galbana. Growth rate was unaffected by nitrogenous resource, but the final cellular yield in the nitrate and urea treatments far exceeded that evident in the ammonium treatments. The reduced cell yield in ammonium treatments and the earlier onset of the stationary phase was brought about by nitrogen‐starvation due to an increase in pH and resultant ammonia volatilization. This starvation initiated an early onset of lipid accumulation, chlorophyll depletion and an increase in the carotenoid to chlorophyll ratio relative to the other nitrogen (N) source treatments. Hence, in spite of being potentially the preferred source of N by algae (due to its reduced state), ammonium‐nitrogen is undesirable for mass culture. The performance parameters of Isochrysis grown in urea (an organic N source) and nitrate (an inorganic N source) were similar, but lipid accrued earlier in cells grown in medium supplemented with urea. This is advantageous for lipid acquisition for the production of biodiesel since it would reduce the duration of photobioreactor runs. Urea is easily available and considerably cheaper than all the other N sources tested and is thus recommended as the nitrogenous resource for large‐scale culture of I. galbana for biodiesel production.     

不同氮源及氮浓度对真眼点藻纲微藻生长及油脂积累的影响

以真眼点藻纲8株微藻(类波氏真眼点藻(Eustigmatos cf. polyphem)、大真眼点藻(Eustigmatos magnus)、波氏真眼点藻(Eustigmatos polyphem)、魏氏真眼点藻(Eustigmatos vischeri)、斧形魏氏藻(Vischeria helvetica)、点状魏氏藻(Vischeria punctata)、星形魏氏藻(Vischeria stellata)和眼点拟微绿球藻(Nan-nochloropsis oculata))为研究材料, 用3种氮源(硝酸钠、碳酸氢铵或尿素)和4种氮浓度(18、9、6和3 mmol) 在改良的BG-11培养基中对藻细胞进行培养。比较分析这8株微藻在不同培养条件下的藻液pH、生物量、油脂含量、脂肪酸组成的差异, 从而筛选出适合该类微藻生长和油脂积累的最适氮源与最佳氮浓度。结果表明, 这8株微藻均能在3种氮源中生长, 但是随着培养时间延长, 以碳酸氢铵和尿素为氮源时藻液pH逐渐降低, 其变化范围为5.0—6.0, 而以硝酸钠为氮源时藻液pH保持在7.0—8.0, 变化不大。当以尿素为氮源培养时, 能获得较高的生物量, 但是不同藻株在不同尿素浓度时达到最高生物量。最高生物量是波氏真眼点藻(E. polyphem)在9 mmol时达到, 为10.96 g/L。总脂含量分析发现, 在低氮浓度下均能促进8株微藻油脂的积累, 真眼点藻属中的魏氏真眼点藻(E. vischeri)在8株藻中获得最高油脂含量, 达到59.24%。进一步对脂肪酸分析发现, 8株微藻总脂肪酸含量为细胞干重的50%—58%, 主要脂肪酸组成为豆蔻酸(C14鲶0)、棕榈酸(C16鲶0)、棕榈油酸(C16鲶1)、油酸(C18鲶1)和二十碳五烯酸(C20鲶5), 其中拟微绿球藻(N. oculata)细胞中棕榈酸的含量最高占总脂肪酸50%左右; 其他7株微藻细胞中棕榈油酸的含量较高, 其占总脂肪酸含量范围在40%—60%。8株微藻均表现出较高的生物量与油脂积累能力, 以尿素为氮源, 氮浓度为6 mmol时更有利于该类微藻生物量和油脂的积累。总体来说, 真眼点藻纲的微藻是一类极具潜力适合于微藻生物燃料生产的微藻, 而真眼点藻属藻株表现更为明显的优势。     

A microcosm study of nitrogen utilization in the Great Salt Lake,Utah

Microcosms were used to study the effects of two inorganic nitrogen sources (ammonia and nitrate) and two organic nitrogen sources (urea and glutamic acid) on the growth of algae and bacteria found in the Great Salt Lake, Utah. Ammonia, nitrate and urea stimulated bacterial growth indirectly through increased algal production of unknown organic substances. Glutamic acid, representing readily available organic carbon and nitrogen, stimulated the bacteria directly. No nitrification was observed in the microcosms although nitrite was found when the microcosms were supplemented with nitrate. Lake sediment contained a number of anaerobic bacteria producing hydrogen sulfide, methane and other gases. Production of these gases was stimulated in the columns with high algal and bacterial activity.     

Effect of pH and nitrogen source on pigment production by Monascus purpureus

The effect of pH and nitrogen source on pigment production by Monascus purpureus 192F using glucose as the carbon and energy source, was studied in pH-controlled, batch fermentor cultures using HPLC analysis to determine individual pigment concentrations. A maximum of four pigments were detected in fungal extracts. These were the yellow pigments monascin and ankaflavin, the orange rubropunctatin and the red pigment monascorubramine. Monascorubramine was present as the major product in all instances. Fungal growth and ankaflavin synthesis were favoured at low pH (pH 4.0), whereas production of the other pigments was relatively independent of pH. The nature of the nitrogen source affected fungal growth and pigment production, independent of pH. Ammonium and peptone as nitrogen sources gave superior growth and pigment concentrations compared to nitrate. Ankaflavin was not detected in nitrate cultures. The highest red pigment production was obtained using a glucose-peptone medium at pH 6.5, due to the secretion of red pigments into the medium under these conditions. Correspondence to: M. R.

EFFECT OF NITROGEN SOURCE ON PLATYMONAS (CHLOROPHYTA) CELL COMPOSITION AND AMINO ACID UPTAKE RATES1

The effect of nitrogen source (nitrate, ammonia and/or amino acids) on cell composition and amino acid uptake rates was examined. Substantial levels of free amino acids accumulated intracellularly with all nitrogen sources used. Ammonia accumulated only when provided in the medium. The presence of ammonia in the medium decreased the intracellular accumulation of free amino acids, especially arginine. Amino acid uptake rates were suppressed by the presence of excess nitrogen, especially ammonia. However, the suppression of uptake did not show any particular relation to the nitrogenous cell composition.     

Studies on the purification of wastewater from the nitrogen fertilizer industry by intensive algal cultures. I. Growth of Chlorella vulgaris in wastes.

The possibility of growth of intensive cultures of Chlorella vulgaris on industrial wastewater from nitrogen fertizer plant containing ammonia, urea and nitrate was investigated. Good growth of algae was obtained when the waste was enriched with phosphorus and inoculum contained a high number of cells. The optimal pH for the culture was 7.0--8.0. The main factor limiting growth of algae on wastes on the concentration of ammonia nitrogen. Chlorella vulgaris grows quite well in wastes containing 600 mg NH4-N/l but is inhibited at concentration about 100 mg NH4-N/l.     

AMMONIA PRODUCTION IN UREA-GROWN CULTURES OF CHLORELLA ELLIPSOIDEA12

Production of ammonia by urea-grown Chlorella ellipsoidea was investigated. Ammonia was produced during the stationary growth phase in cultures with urea as sole nitrogen source and glucose as supplementary carbon source. Ammonia was produced only in medium containing excess urea and limiting amounts of glucose. Ammonia production was accompanied by increase in pH. In cultures with nitrate as sole nitrogen source and glucose as supplementary carbon source, growth and pH changes were similar to those in urea-glucose medium, but no ammonia was detected. Cultures grown in urea-acetate medium were similar to those grown in urea medium without additional organic carbon source. No ammonia was produced under these circumstances and growth was significantly lower than that achieved in glucose-supplemented cultures. C. ellipsoidea evidently produces an enzyme or enzyme system which forms ammonia from urea. This organism was reportedly urease-free because previous workers did not detect ammonia formation from urea. Our findings indicate that special circumstances are required to produce detectable amounts of ammonia from urea. These findings are in agreement with a recent report of urea-splitting, cofactor-requiring enzyme in cell-free extracts of Chlorella.     

Growth, nitrogen utilization and biodiesel potential for two chlorophytes grown on ammonium, nitrate or urea

Nitrogen removal from wastewater by algae provides the potential benefit of producing lipids for biodiesel and biomass for anaerobic digestion. Further, ammonium is the renewable form of nitrogen produced during anaerobic digestion and one of the main nitrogen sources associated with wastewater. The wastewater isolates Scenedesmus sp. 131 and Monoraphidium sp. 92 were grown with ammonium, nitrate, or urea in the presence of 5 % CO₂, and ammonium and nitrate in the presence of air to optimize the growth and biofuel production of these chlorophytes. Results showed that growth on ammonium, in both 5 % CO₂ and air, caused a significant decrease in pH during the exponential phase causing growth inhibition due to the low buffering capacity of the medium. Therefore, biological buffers and pH controllers were utilized to prevent a decrease in pH. Growth on ammonium with pH control (synthetic buffers or KOH dosing) demonstrated that growth (rate and yield), biodiesel production, and ammonium utilization, similar to nitrate- and urea-amended treatments, can be achieved if sufficient CO₂ is available. Since the use of buffers is economically limited to laboratory-scale experiments, chemical pH control could bridge the gap encountered in the scale-up to industrial processes.     

Urea as sole source of nitrogen for plant growth

Summary Spirodela oligorrhiza grown in sterile culture was able to use urea as sole source of nitrogen but only when the pH of the culture medium was below 4.3. Plants inoculated into urea media at pH 6.4 initially made little growth and became nitrogen-deficient in appearance and composition although they contained about 100 grams of urea per gram fresh weight of tissue. After a period the pH of the medium usually fell below 4.3 and growth commenced. Growth with other compounds, e.g. ammonium, nitrate or allantoin, as sources of nitrogen was not similarly affected by the pH of the culture medium.Urease activity could always be detected in the tissues of Spirodela oligorrhiza growing on urea. Plants with little or no urease activity soon developed significant activity when inoculated into urea media at pH 4.0. When the pH of the medium was higher there was no increase in urease activity and no growth ensued. Plants growing on urea possessed an activity of about 50 milliunits per gram fresh weight of tissue, but if the pH of the medium fell to 3.5 or lower, the activity present rose to 10 times this level.Urease activity also appeared, in the absence of supplied urea, as plants became increasingly nitrogen-deficient.
