氮源类型和水平对3株球状绿藻生长、油脂和花生四烯酸积累的影响

【背景】缺刻叶球藻(Lobosphaera incisa Reisigl)是一种单细胞球状绿藻,是已知花生四烯酸(Arachidonic acid,AA)含量最丰富的植物资源之一。然而目前其分类和命名仍然较为混乱。【目的】明确3株球状绿藻(SAG2468、SAG2043、H4301)的分类地位及在不同氮源(硝酸钠、尿素、碳酸氢铵、碳酸铵、硝酸铵、氯化铵和硫酸铵)和氮浓度(18mmol/L,3mmol/L)条件下油脂和AA积累的特性。【方法】通过分子系统学和形态观察的方法对3株球状绿藻进行分类界定;采用干重法、重量法和气相色谱分析的方法分别对其生物量、油脂含量、脂肪酸组成及AA含量进行测定。【结果】3株球状绿藻均隶属于叶球藻属(Lobosphaera),SAG2468原定名为缺刻缘绿藻(Parietochloris incisa),现修订为缺刻叶球藻(Lobosphaera incisa),与H4301为缺刻叶球藻的不同地理株系。SAG2043原定名为双隔蚁形藻(Myrmecia bisecta),现修订为双隔叶球藻(Lobosphaera bisecta)。3株微藻在高氮(18 mmol/L)和低氮(3 mmol/L)浓度的硝酸钠和尿素培养条件下均可良好生长,铵盐对藻细胞生长普遍有抑制作用,且浓度越高抑制作用越显著。低氮胁迫能显著促进油脂和AA的积累(P0.05),SAG2043在3 mmol/L硝酸钠条件下油脂和AA产率最高,分别为142.15mg/(L·d)和35.51mg/(L·d),明显高于另外2株微藻(P0.05)。此时SAG2043对应获得的生物量为4.9 g/L,油脂含量为43.49%,AA含量高达干重的10.86%,占总脂肪酸含量的31.75%。【结论】SAG2043是一株更具AA开发潜力的微藻。     

氮源种类及浓度对眼点拟微绿球藻生长密度、油脂产率和二十碳五烯酸含量的影响

氮源是影响微藻生长和油脂积累的重要因素,文中通过单因素试验比较了NaNO3、CO(NH2)2、NH4Cl、CH3COONH4及其浓度对眼点拟微绿球藻生长密度、生长速率、油脂产率、二十碳五烯酸(EPA)含量的影响。结果表明：NH4+更易被眼点拟微绿球藻利用,能更好地促进微藻生长和油脂积累;氮浓度的增加有利于微藻的生长和藻油脂肪酸的去饱和,但不利于微藻油脂的积累。在实验考察的氮源种类和浓度范围内,CH3COONH4是促进眼点拟微绿球藻生长和油脂积累、EPA生成的适宜氮源,其适宜的浓度为5.29 mmol/L。

实验室条件下,考察了在发酵过程中不同氮源对小球藻的生物量和油脂积累的影响,确定了小球藻的最佳氮源;并对比分析了含氮培养与缺氮培养的生物量、油脂含量、氮消耗量、生物量氮消耗比率和油脂氮消耗比率的不同。结果表明:小球藻在1.6 g/L Na NO3时获得最大生物量,为562.2 mg/L,在0.8 g/L Na NO3时获得最大相对油脂含量为12.01%;以油脂含量为考察指标时,培养小球藻的最佳氮源为0.8 g/L Na NO3;缺氮培养时,最大油脂含量为13.49%,比含氮培养高约15%;含氮培养时,最高生物量为626.3 mg/L,比缺氮培养高约1.9倍。氮源对生物量,相对油脂含量,生物量氮消耗比率和油脂氮消耗比率具有明显的影响。藉此,提出了通过改变培养方式,达到调控小球藻细胞内生理代谢组分的可行性。     

碳源、氮源对异养单针藻Monoraphidium sp. FXY-10油脂积累和脂肪酸组成的影响

研究了碳源与氮源对单针藻Monoraphidium sp. FXY-10异养培养的影响。以BG-11为基础培养基,通过添加不同类型、浓度梯度碳源和氮源,比较分析微藻生物量、油脂积累以及脂肪酸组成。结果表明,以葡萄糖作碳源,硝酸钠为氮源,微藻细胞积累的油脂是理想的生物柴油制备原料。硝酸钠浓度分别为1.00、3.00和5.00 g/L时,对油脂产量影响不显著(P>0.05)。葡萄糖浓度为10.00 g/L,硝酸钠为氮源油脂产量达到实验最高值0.84 g/L,其油脂脂肪酸组成主要由C16:0和C18:1等短链饱和脂肪酸和单不饱和脂肪酸组成,不饱和度值(DU)为61.98,相对偏低。     

不同培养模式下魏氏真眼点藻生长和产油特性的研究

为了解魏氏真眼点藻(Eustigmatos vischeri Hibberd)的生物学特性,探究"批量法"、"两步法"、"补料法"和"添加碳酸氢盐"4种不同培养模式对魏氏真眼点藻生长和油脂积累的影响,本文分别采用不同初始浓度的硝酸钠供应、更换培养基、分次少量补加硝酸钠及添加低浓度Na HCO3或NH4HCO3等方法培养魏氏真眼点藻。结果显示,"批量"培养下,硝酸钠浓度为3.0 mmol/L时藻细胞生物量达到8.41 g/L,油脂最高可达到65.16%,油脂产率为0.30 g·L-1·d-1。"两步法"和"补料法"培养对藻细胞油脂积累没有显著影响,而通过"添加碳酸氢盐"培养对该藻细胞生长和油脂积累的效果最显著,其中Na NO3+NH4HCO3组生物量达到11.56 g/L,油脂最高达60.92%,与相同氮浓度"批量"培养相比,生物质浓度提高了1.0 g/L,总脂含量提高了10%,大大提高了该藻的总脂产率(达到0.39 g·L-1·d-1)。因此,魏氏真眼点藻是一株高产油藻株,当添加低浓度碳酸氢铵时最有利于促进该藻生物质浓度和总脂含量的提高,这是一种最佳的培养模式,具有潜在的开发和利用价值。     

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。     

用混合氮源在室外培养产油链带藻的可行性研究

为探索两株链带藻（Desmodesmus sp.T28-1和Desmodesmus sp.NMX451）在室外培养的最优氮源,首先在室内就不同氮源（尿素、硝酸钠、碳酸铵以及尿素和硝酸钠混合氮源）下微藻的生长和油脂积累做了研究,筛选出最优的混合氮源在室外进行了培养的可行性研究。室内研究结果表明两株链带藻在尿素下培养油脂含量最低,在铵氮下培养生物量最低。且NMX451在混合态氮下的油脂产率显著性的高于其他氮源下的油脂产率。对两株链带藻在混合氮源下的脂肪酸组分做进一步分析,结果表明油脂组分适合生物柴油生产要求,估算的生物柴油品质达到国际和国内生产标准。将两株链带藻置于室外140 L柱式反应器中用混合氮源进一步扩大培养,结果表明NMX451比T28-1的油脂含量和油脂产率高,生产成本更低,且脂肪酸组分更适宜生物柴油生产。研究表明用混合氮源在室外培养微藻是非常可行的培养方法,也说明NMX451比T28-1在生物柴油生产方面具有更好的潜力。     

2,4-表油菜素内酯和赤霉素对微拟球藻产油率及脂肪酸组成的影响

分别研究了2,4-表油菜素内酯(EBR)、赤霉素(GA_3)对微拟球藻大洋种生长、产油率及脂肪酸组成的影响。结果表明,5、15 mg/L EBR能显著促进微拟球藻生长和提高其产油率,产油率较对照组分别增加了7.85%和13.97%,但对单位质量藻细胞总脂含量影响不大。50 mg/L EBR则显著抑制该藻生长。5、15和50 mg/L GA_3均显著促进微拟球藻生物量积累。50 mg/L GA_3处理组生物量最高(0.337 g/L),但总脂积累受到一定抑制。总体来看,15 mg/L GA_3对微拟球藻产油率提升效果最显著,达8.184 mg/(L·d)。添加EBR(5、15 mg/L)和GA_3(5、15、50 mg/L)浓度后,饱和及单不饱和脂肪酸(16∶0、16∶1、18∶1)占比下降,多不饱和脂肪酸(18∶2、20∶4和20∶5)占比显著提高。     

Serial optimization of biomass production using microalga Nannochloris oculata and corresponding lipid biosynthesis

As energy and environment have become urgent issues, there has been increasing needs to develop alternative energy source, such as microalgal bio-fuel. In this study, we investigated the growth and lipid contents of microalgae Nannochloris oculata under various environmental conditions for biodiesel production. Our results indicated that biomass productivities of N. oculata were correlated with increasing nitrogen concentrations up to 37.5 ppm. High irradiance using 230-250 μmol/m(2) led to higher biomass yields than low irradiance of 160-180 μmol/m(2). Biomass productivities increased further by manipulating surface to volume ratio (S/V), which in turn enhanced light penetration. Finally, optimal biomass productivities (1.04 g/l day) could be achieved by the supplementation of yeast extract. Lipid contents and fatty acid profiles of N. oculata were affected by the different growth conditions. Lipid contents of N. oculata decreased as nitrogen concentration increased. Lower temperature (15 °C) resulted in higher lipid content than higher temperature (25 °C). Fatty acid profiles of N. oculata indicated that palmitic acid (C16:0) and linoleic acid (C18:2) were the two most abundant fatty acids, but the supplementation of yeast extract increased linolenic acid (C18:3) content. Our results suggested the feasibility of N. oculata for the biodiesel production.     

Influence of ammonium chloride feeding time and light intensity on the cultivation of Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis

This study dealt with the influence of both the feeding time and light intensity on the fed-batch culture of the cyanobacterium Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis using ammonium chloride as a nitrogen source. For this purpose, a 2(2) plus star central composite experimental design combined with response surface methodology was employed, and the maximum cell concentration (X(m)), the cell productivity (P(X)), and the yield of biomass on nitrogen (Y(X/N)) were selected as the response variables. The optimum values of X(m) (1,833 mg L(-1)) and Y(X/N) (5.9 g g(-1)) estimated by the model at light intensity of 13 klux and feeding time of 17.2 days were very close to those obtained experimentally under these conditions (X(m) = 1,771 +/- 41 mg L(-1); Y(X/N) = 5.7 +/- 0.17 g g(-1)). The cell productivity was a decreasing function of the ammonium chloride feeding time and a quadratic function of the light intensity. The protein and lipid contents of dry biomass collected at the end of cultivations were shown to decrease with increasing light intensity.     

光照强度和氮水平对白三叶幼苗生长与光合生理特性的影响

采用植物生长箱溶液培养方式,对白三叶幼苗进行了不同光强(2个水平)和氮浓度(5个水平)处理,探讨其生长、生物量和光合生理特征对生境变化的响应.结果表明:两种光强下白三叶幼苗茎和叶生物量随氮素浓度呈先升高后降低,而根系生物量和根冠比则随氮素浓度增高而降低.光照强度降低使白三叶幼苗根、茎、叶和整株生物量分别降低67.8%、29.9%、42.5%和45.2%;低光处理使幼苗的根冠比显著下降,而比叶面积(SLA)明显提高.幼苗根系体积随氮素浓度增高而降低,高生长光强根系体积显著高于低生长光强下的白三叶.幼苗根系表面积、根系长度和根系直径随氮素浓度增加呈先增加后降低趋势,两种不同生长光强下幼苗根系长度和根系直径差异显著,而根系表面积差异不明显.白三叶叶片光合速率(Pn)随氮素浓度增加呈先增加后降低趋势,高生长光强白三叶Pn显著高于低生长光强下的白三叶.两种生长光强间叶片气孔导度(Gs),胞间CO2浓度(Ci)和蒸腾速率(Tr)无显著差异,但氮素浓度对叶片Gs、Ci和Tr均有显著影响.光、氮及其交互作用对白三叶幼苗生长发育产生了显著影响,光照不足和氮缺乏都将导致白三叶幼苗生长减弱,但幼苗对这些不利环境具有较强的调节和适应能力.     

Optimization of cultivation conditions for fatty acid composition and EPA production in the eustigmatophycean microalga Trachydiscus minutus

We determined the effects of cultivation conditions (nitrogen source, salinity, light intensity, temperature) on the composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the production of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in the laboratory cultured eustigmatophycean microalga, Trachydiscus minutus. T. minutus was capable of utilizing all nitrogen compounds tested (potassium nitrate, urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium carbonate) with no differences in growth and only minor differences in fatty acid (FA) compositions. Ammonium carbonate was the least appropriate for lipid content and EPA production, while urea was as suitable as nitrates. Salinity (0.2 % NaCl) slightly stimulated EPA content and inhibited growth. Increasing salinity had a marked inhibitory effect on growth and PUFA composition; salinity at or above 0.8 % NaCl was lethal. Both light intensity and temperature had a distinct effect on growth and FA composition. The microalga grew best at light intensities of 470–1,070 μmol photons m^?2 s^?1 compared to 100 μmol photons m^?2 s^?1, and at 28 °C; sub-optimal temperatures (20, 33 °C) strongly inhibited growth. Saturated fatty acids increased with light intensity and temperature, whereas the reverse trend was found for PUFAs. Although the highest level of EPA (as a proportion of total FAs) was achieved at a light intensity of 100 μmol photons m^?2 s^?1 (51.1?± 2.8 %) and a temperature of 20 °C (50.9?±?0.8 %), the highest EPA productivity of about 30 mg L^?1?day^?1 was found in microalgae grown at higher light intensities, at 28 °C. Overall, for overproduction of EPA in microalgae, we propose that outdoor cultivation be used under conditions of a temperate climatic zone in summer, using urea as a nitrogen source.     

不同氮和磷培养条件下等鞭金藻的生长、磷吸收和油脂品质的分析

为探索不同水平N和P对等鞭金藻(Isochrysis galbana Parke)产量及油脂品质的影响,在富N(80.00 mg·L-1 NO3--N)和无N(0.00 mg·L-1 NO3--N)条件下设置富P、限P和无P(20.00、0.25和0.00 mg·L-1 PO43--P)共6组培养基,对培养10 d时等鞭金藻的藻体质量浓度、P吸收量、总脂肪酸质量分数和脂肪酸产率变化、13个脂肪酸组分及其质量分数以及EPA和DHA的相对含量和产量进行了比较分析。结果显示：在富N培养基中,等鞭金藻藻体质量浓度的增幅明显高于无N培养基且按培养基中P质量浓度从高到低依次降低。总体上看,随培养时间延长,等鞭金藻的总脂肪酸质量分数持续升高,且在富N培养基中总脂肪酸质量分数高于无N培养基;其中,富N限P和富N无P培养基中的总脂肪酸质量分数基本上均高于富N富P培养基。富N培养基中各脂肪酸组分的质量分数大体上高于无N培养基,且限P培养基中各脂肪酸组分的质量分数大体上高于富P和无P培养基。在富N富P培养基中1 L藻体的P吸收量最高(0.0148 mg),并且吸收的P绝大部分被贮存在藻体中,而在无N富P培养基中P吸收量明显降低(0.0098 mg)。在富N富P培养基中,饱和脂肪酸质量分数和相对含量及EPA相对含量和产量均最低,但DHA相对含量和产量则最高。在富N限P培养基中,等鞭金藻的EPA产量和脂肪酸产率均最高,其DHA产量也较高;5种优质脂肪酸组分(即C18：1n9c、C16：0、C14：0、C18：0和C16：1n9)的总相对含量达到65.86%,尤其是C18：1n9c,其相对含量高达28.19%。综合分析结果显示：富N培养基有利于等鞭金藻的生长、P吸收及脂肪酸积累,其中,富N限P培养基是等鞭金藻高产且产优质油脂的适宜培养基。此外,等鞭金藻不但是生产生物柴油的优质资源而且是生产DHA和清除废水中P的潜在生物资源。     

Culture of microalgae Chlorella minutissima for biodiesel feedstock production

Microalgae are among the most promising of non‐food based biomass fuel feedstock alternatives. Algal biofuels production is challenged by limited oil content, growth rate, and economical cultivation. To develop the optimum cultivation conditions for increasing biofuels feedstock production, the effect of light source, light intensity, photoperiod, and nitrogen starvation on the growth rate, cell density, and lipid content of Chlorella minutissima were studied. The fatty acid content and composition of Chlorella minutissima were also investigated under the above conditions. Fluorescent lights were more effective than red or white light‐emitting diodes for algal growth. Increasing light intensity resulted in more rapid algal growth, while increasing the period of light also significantly increased biomass productivity. Our results showed that the lipid and triacylglycerol content were increased under N starvation conditions. Thus, a two‐phase strategy with an initial nutrient‐sufficient reactor followed by a nutrient deprivation strategy could likely balance the desire for rapid and high biomass generation (124 mg/L) with a high oil content (50%) of Chlorella minutissima to maximize the total amount of oil produced for biodiesel production. Moreover, methyl palmitate (C16:0), methyl oleate (C18:1), methyl linoleate (C18:2), and methyl linolenate (C18:3) are the major components of Chlorella minutissima derived FAME, and choice of light source, intensity, and N starvation impacted the FAME composition of Chlorella minutissima. The optimized cultivation conditions resulted in higher growth rate, cell density, and oil content, making Chlorella minutissima a potentially suitable organism for biodiesel feedstock production.

碳源种类及碳氮比对眼点拟微绿球藻生长密度、油脂含量和脂肪酸组成的影响

研究了三种碳源Na2CO3、NaHCO3、葡萄糖对眼点拟微绿球藻生长密度和油旨含量的影响,实验结果表明相对于葡萄糖,无机碳源NaHCO3更利于眼点拟微绿球藻的生长.以NaHCO3为碳源,研究了在不同的接种密度、NaNO3浓度下,C/N对眼点拟微绿球藻生长密度和油脂含量的影响.实验结果表明,C/N对眼点拟微绿球藻生长密度的影响与接种密度和NaNO3浓度有关,在高的NaNO3浓度时,C/N对眼点拟微绿球藻生长密度的影响很小;在低的NaNO3浓度时,随着C/N比的增加,微绿球藻的生长密度先增加后下降,存在最佳的C/N比.最佳的C/N比随接种密度而变化,在接种密度为OD440=0.10时,最佳C/N比为3,当接种密度提高到OD440=0.70时,最佳C/N比增加到5.NaNO3浓度和C/N对微藻油脂含量均有较大影响,在不同的接种密度和NaNO3浓度下都表现为C/N=1时最利于微藻油脂的积累,这与卡尔文循环过程中核酮糖-1,5-二磷酸羧化酶/加氧酶的活性有关.本实验的最佳产油培养条件为以NaHCO3为碳源,初始接种密度为OD440=0.70,C/N=1∶1,CNaNO3=0.225g/L,此时油脂产率为56.7 mg/(L·d),EPA产率为6.5 mg/(L·d).
