雨生红球藻培养基的改良

近年来,雨生红球藻（ＨａｅｍａｔｏｃｏｃｃｕｓｐｌｕｖｉａｌｉｓＦｌｏｔｅｔＷｉｌｌ）作为一种获取天然虾青素的资源被广泛重视ｌ‘,‘１。目前,有关而生红球藻的研究主要集中于虾青素的积累机制、合成调控及其生物学功能‘）。关于雨生红球资生长调控方面的工作报道较少,还没有一个很理想的红球藻培养基【’］,从而在很大程度上阻碍了对雨生红球藻的深人研究与开发利用。雨生红球藻尤其是它的绿色游动细胞对环境ｐＨ值的改变较敏感,其生长状况与培养液的ｐＨ稳定性关系密切［‘”］,而目前较多采用的ＭＣＭ、ＢＢＭ和Ｂｔｈｌ…     

雨生红球藻虾青素合成研究进展

虾青素是一种重要的次级类胡萝卜素,具有高活性的抗氧化功能,广泛应用于食品保健、医药、水产养殖等领域。雨生红球藻是一种在胁迫条件下能够大量积累虾青素的微藻。文中回顾了雨生红球藻虾青素的生物合成研究的进展,包括虾青素生物合成的诱导与调控、虾青素合成与光合作用及脂类代谢的关系等研究现状。     

雨生红球藻营养细胞的虾青素累积

接种于缺氮培养基的雨生红球藻。当置于光强为10—12klx,温度25℃±1.5℃条件下培养时,营养细胞迅速由绿色变成红色。接种4d时,运动细胞占细胞总数的90%,细胞内的虾青素含量(33.0pg/cell)占最终色素累积量的(60.0pg/cell)的55%。接种6d时,虾青素含量已占最终累积量的75%。电镜观察显示,红色的运动细胞除细胞质的大部分区域充满色素颗粒外,细胞的形态结构与绿色细胞基本一致。实验还表明,当接种物置于低光(0.5—1.0klx)下培养时,营养细胞仍有色素沉积,但累积缓慢。当只有高光胁迫(10—12klx,完全培养基培养)时,营养细胞转变成厚壁孢子后(5d后),才大量积累色素。     

营养胁迫对雨生红球藻虾青素累积的影响

通过改变营养条件可诱导雨生红球藻积累虾青素.氮限制实验表明,色素的累积速率与原初氮浓度成反比,也与细胞分裂速率负相关,当BBM培养基中的NaNO3浓度减半时(0.13g@L-1),对细胞增殖及色素累积相对都有利.在高光强下,进一步进行氮、磷饥饿,红球藻细胞分裂明显受抑,但色素的累积作用增强,培养9d,细胞内次生类胡萝卜素的含量分别比对照组提高141.0%和60.5%,色素的累积高峰也比对照组提前2-4d.提高NaCl浓度至0.8%时的盐胁迫,不能诱导虾青素的形成.实验结果还表明,色素的累积与厚壁孢子的形成并不完全相关,游动细胞也能大量积累红色色素.     

活性氧对雨生红球藻生长及虾青素含量的影响

在雨生红球藻培养液中分别添加活性氧1O2、H2O2和·OH的诱生剂,通过测定细胞密度、叶绿素a含量、虾青素含量,研究了这三种活性氧诱生处理对雨生红球藻生长和虾青素含量的影响,初步探索了利用活性氧诱生剂提高雨生红球藻虾青素含量的可行性。实验结果表明,适当浓度的MB能够促进虾青素含量增加,当MB浓度为10-7mol·L-1时,虾青素含量达到5.27μg·mL-1,比对照显著提高。活性氧诱生剂对雨生红球藻生长有抑制作用,但MB的抑制作用小于H2O2和·OH诱生剂。

雨生红球藻培养过程中色素动态变化与光合生理特性研究

以雨生红球藻Haematococcus pluvialis CG-06为实验材料,分析测定在正常培养周期内藻细胞主要色素的变化动态、光合生理特性,以及培养基中硝态氮的含量。结果表明,雨生红球藻在绿色细胞阶段的主要色素包括:叶绿素、叶黄素、β-胡萝卜素,培养至红色细胞阶段增加了角黄素、海胆酮、虾青素单酯及双酯等次生类胡萝卜素。硝态氮浓度在培养初期下降迅速,第3 d降至4.875 mg/L,下降了85.3%,至第7 d下降为0.169 mg/L。雨生红球藻培养至第7 d时,细胞中开始检测出虾青素,含量为0.159 mg/g,此时虾青素合成速度较快,至第11 d虾青素含量上升为1.68 mg/g,在虾青素合成初期β-胡萝卜素的含量下降。藻细胞的光合速率、呼吸速率和NPQ在培养前期比较稳定,第7 d细胞光合速率开始下降,而呼吸速率和NPQ则上升,在整个培养周期中,藻细胞的Fv/Fm变化不明显。     

雨生红球藻虾青素酰基转移酶的鉴定与功能研究

为研究雨生红球藻(Haematococcus pluvialis)的甘油二酯酰基转移酶(Diacylglycerol acyltransferase, DGAT)是否具有催化虾青素酰基化的功能, 首先通过雨生红球藻的cDNA库克隆得到了一个II型DGAT编码区全长序列(DGTT2)。在甘油三酯(Triacylglycerol, TAG)合成缺陷型酵母Saccharomyces cerevisiae H1246中过表达DGTT2基因发现HpDGTT2不能回补H1246的表型, 即不具有典型的DGAT功能。利用分离得到的雨生红球藻的内质网成功地建立了一个体外的虾青素酰基转移酶酶活测定体系, 添加含有重组HpDGTT2的酵母细胞的微粒体后虾青素酯的含量显著高于对照, 初步表明HpDGTT2具有催化雨生红球藻中虾青素酰基化功能。以上结果为进一步探索雨生红球藻中DGTT2的功能及深入理解虾青素合成在代谢水平的调控奠定了基础。     

不同激光对雨生红球藻的刺激效应

本文研究了Ｈｅ－Ｎｅ激光和半导体激光对生产虾青素的雨生红球藻（Ｈａｅｍａｔｏｃｏｃｃｕｓ ｐｌｕｖｉａｌｉｓ）的生理刺激作用。对两种激光不同辐照剂量的生长刺激作用,叶绿素含量及虾青素累积速率的变化进行了比较。实验结果表明,低功率的红色激光对红球藻营养细胞的增殖具有明显的促进作用。     

雨生红球藻(Haematococcus pluvialis)的光谱特性研究

实验测定了雨生红球藻不同生长阶段的色素组成,吸收光谱,荧光光谱,并对其进行了分析。结果表明,用490nm波长激发时,雨生红球藻在绿色细胞阶段存在710nm和730nm附近的长波长荧光发射峰,而在红色细胞阶段仅存在730nm的长波长荧光发射峰,预示着雨生红球藻不同生长阶段在PSⅠ结构,组成,及其色素蛋白的排布等方面有很大差异。     

Time- and media-dependent secondary carotenoid accumulation in Haematococcus pluvialis

The green microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis synthesizes secondary carotenoids after exposure to environmental stress, a process that is used for the biotechnological production of astaxanthin (Ax). This study reports, for the first time, the medium-dependent changes in the carotenoid pattern throughout the cultivation process as well as the exact composition of carotenoids and their fatty acid mono- and diesters using LC-MS. Secondary carotenoid formation started immediately upon exposure to nutrient depletion and high light conditions. Ax and its corresponding mono- and diesters were detected simultaneously. After 15 days of cultivation, no significant changes were detected in carotenoid composition; however, the ratio between carotenoid mono- and diesters still varied. Main carotenoids were identified as Ax linolenate and Ax oleate, but also five adonirubin and one lutein monoester were detected. The influence of three different autotroph media was studied on carotenoid content, which reached a maximum 16.1 mg/g dry weight. The results indicate that media composition has an influence on the ratio of Ax mono- to diester but not on the qualitative composition of secondary carotenoids in H. pluvialis. Beside the pathway via echinenone, canthaxanthin and adonirubin the results indicate that Ax biosynthesis takes place via another route: from beta-carotene via beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin and adonixanthin.     

城市生活污水用于培养雨生红球藻的研究

虾青素是自然界广泛存在的一种橘红色类胡萝卜素,广泛应用于食品、药品和化妆品行业。在虾青素的制备中,雨生红球藻是生产虾青素的最有效来源,目前提高虾青素产量的方式主要为提高生物量和产物合成率。目前已有大量研究针对生物量的优化,但依然存在改善空间。为此,尝试用城市生活污水作为培养基对雨生红球藻进行培养。结果表明,生活污水能促进雨生红球藻的生长,其产量是现有BG11培养基的2倍;虾青素的合成时期显著提前（P<0.05）,且体内重金属含量未明显富集,处在安全浓度范围。此外,养藻后的城市生活污水中氮、磷含量显著降低（P<0.05）,高氮、磷富余的情形得到有效改善。证实利用污水培养雨生红球藻的双重效应,一方面有利于积累藻类生物量,另一方面有助于净化水质,在经济效益和生态效益上具有极好的发展潜力。

A new paradigm for producing astaxanthin from the unicellular green alga Haematococcus pluvialis

The unicellular green alga Haematococcus pluvialis has been exploited as a cell factory to produce the high‐value antioxidant astaxanthin for over two decades, due to its superior ability to synthesize astaxanthin under adverse culture conditions. However, slow vegetative growth under favorable culture conditions and cell deterioration or death under stress conditions (e.g., high light, nitrogen starvation) has limited the astaxanthin production. In this study, a new paradigm that integrated heterotrophic cultivation, acclimation of heterotrophically grown cells to specific light/nutrient regimes, followed by induction of astaxanthin accumulation under photoautotrophic conditions was developed. First, the environmental conditions such as pH, carbon source, nitrogen regime, and light intensity, were optimized to induce astaxanthin accumulation in the dark‐grown cells. Although moderate astaxanthin content (e.g., 1% of dry weight) and astaxanthin productivity (2.5 mg L^?1 day^?1) were obtained under the optimized conditions, a considerable number of cells died off when subjected to stress for astaxanthin induction. To minimize the susceptibility of dark‐grown cells to light stress, the algal cells were acclimated, prior to light induction of astaxanthin biosynthesis, under moderate illumination in the presence of nitrogen. Introduction of this strategy significantly reduced the cell mortality rate under high‐light and resulted in increased cellular astaxanthin content and astaxanthin productivity. The productivity of astaxanthin was further improved to 10.5 mg L^?1 day^?1 by implementation of such a strategy in a bubbling column photobioreactor. Biochemical and physiological analyses suggested that rebuilding of photosynthetic apparatus including D1 protein and PsbO, and recovery of PSII activities, are essential for acclimation of dark‐grown cells under photo‐induction conditions.

Optimization of culture medium for growth of Haematococcus pluvialis

A central composite rotatable design was used to examine the effects of five components of the medium on the growth of Haematococcus pluvialis in batch culture. The medium components considered were: sodium acetate,potassium nitrate, major elements, trace elements and vitamins. Within the range of the concentrations tested, a moderate concentration of the major elements significantly enhanced algal growth, both in terms of specific growth rate and cell dry weight, whereas the vitamins had no significant effect. Based on the response surface contour plots and the results of numerical analyses, the optimal nutrient concentrations for growth in terms of specific growth rate were 0.51 g L^-1 sodium acetate, 0.25 g L^-1 potassium nitrate, 0.63 mL L^-1 of the major element stock solution and 0.2 mL L^-1 of the trace element stock solution. The optimal nutrient concentrations for biomass production were 1.64 g L^-1 sodium acetate, 0.37 g L^-1potassium nitrate, 2.52 mL L^-1 of the major element stock solution and 0.03 mL L^-1 of the trace element stock solution.
