Indirect photometric ion chromatographic analysis of anions in Haematococcus pluvialis culture media

An indirect photometric ion chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of chloride, nitrate and sulfate ions was developed and applied to the determination of anions, mainly nitrate, in the alga Haematococcus pluvialis culture media. Using phthalic acid/sodium tetraborate aqueous solution as the mobile phase, anions can be detected indirectly by a UV detector. The calibration curves for these anions gave good linearity from 1 to 1000 g ml^–1.     

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. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Production of astaxanthin by Haematococcus pluvialis in a sequential heterotrophic-photoautotrophic culture

Production of astaxanthin by sequential heterotrophic-photoautotrophiccultivation of a green alga, Haematococcus pluvialis was investigated.This involved cultivating the cells heterotrophically to high cellconcentration, followed by illumination of the culture for astaxanthinaccumulation. The optimum pH and temperature for heterotrophic biomassproduction were 8 and 25 ^°C, respectively. There was no significantdifference in the specific growth rate of the cells when acetateconcentration was varied between 10 mM and 30 mM. However, cellgrowth was inhibited at higher acetate concentrations. A pH stat methodwas then used for fed-batch heterotrophic culture, using acetate as theorganic carbon source. A cell concentration of 7 g L^-1 wasobtained. Higher cell concentration could not be obtained because the cellschanged from vegetative to cyst forms during the heterotrophic cultivation.However, by using repeated fed-batch processes, the cells could bemaintained in the vegetative form, leading to more than two times increasein cell number output rate. When the vegetative cells were transferred tophotoautotrophic phase, there was a sharp decrease in the cell number andonly very few cells encysted and accumulated astaxanthin. On the otherhand, when the shift from heterotrophic to photoautotrophic condition wasdone when most of the cells had encysted, there was still a decrease in cellnumber but astaxanthin accumulation was very high. The astaxanthinconcentration (114 mg L^-1) and productivity (4.4 mg L^-1d^-1) obtained by this sequential heterotrophic-photoautotrophiccultivation method are very high compared to the data in the literature.     

Efficient one-step production of astaxanthin by the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis in continuous culture

The performance of Haematococcus pluvialis in continuous photoautotrophic culture has been analyzed, especially from the viewpoint of astaxanthin production. To this end, chemostat cultures of Haematococcus pluvialis were carried out at constant light irradiance, 1,220 microE/m2.s, and dilution rate, 0.9/d, but varying the nitrate concentration in the feed medium reaching the reactor, from 1.7 to 20.7 mM. Both growth and biomass composition were affected by the nitrate supply. With saturating nitrate, the biomass productivity was high, 1.2 g/L.d, but astaxanthin accumulation did not take place, the C/N ratio of the biomass being 5.7. Under moderate nitrate limitation, biomass productivity was decreased, as also did biomass concentration at steady state, whereas accumulation of astaxanthin developed and the C/N ratio of the biomass increased markedly. Astaxanthin accumulation took place in cells growing and dividing actively, and its extent was enhanced in response to the limitation in nitrate availability, with a recorded maximum for astaxanthin cellular level of 0.8% of dry biomass and of 5.6 mg/L.d for astaxanthin productivity. The viability of a significant continued generation of astaxanthin-rich H. pluvialis cells becomes thus demonstrated, as also does the continuous culture option as an alternative to current procedures for the production of astaxanthin using this microalga. The intensive variable controlling the behavior of the system has been identified as the specific nitrate input, and a mathematical model developed that links growth rate with both irradiance and specific nitrate input. Moreover, a second model for astaxanthin accumulation, also as a function of irradiance and specific nitrate input, was derived. The latter model takes into account that accumulation of astaxanthin is only partially linked to growth, being besides inhibited by excess nitrate. Simulations performed fit experimental data and emphasize the contention that astaxanthin can be efficiently produced under continuous mode by adjustment of the specific nitrate input, predicting even higher values for astaxanthin productivity. The developed models represent a powerful tool for management of such an astaxanthin-generating continuous process, and could allow the development of improved systems for the production of astaxanthin-rich Haematococcus cells.     

Optimization of culture conditions for growth of the green alga Haematococcus pluvialis

The effects of light intensity, inoculum volume, sodium nitrate and carbon dioxide concentrations on the growth of Haematococcus pluvialis were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). All the four variables exhibited significant effects on growth and can be related (r 0.926, P 0.01) by a second-order polynomial consisting of linear, quadratic and interaction terms. The total quadratic effect (P 0.01) dominates over the total linear effect (P 0.01) but the role of interaction terms (P 0.10) is marginal. The optimum values of these variables were: carbon dioxide 1.54%, sodium nitrate 1.06 g/l, inoculum volume 24.97% and light intensity 2.42 klux; the predicted maximum value for the yield of biomass was 0.51 g/l (dry weight).     

Optimization of culture medium for the continuous cultivation of the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis

The freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is one of the best microbial sources of the carotenoid astaxanthin, but this microalga shows low growth rates and low final cell densities when cultured with traditional media. A single-variable optimization strategy was applied to 18 components of the culture media in order to maximize the productivity of vegetative cells of H. pluvialis in semicontinuous culture. The steady-state cell density obtained with the optimized culture medium at a daily volume exchange of 20% was 3.77 · 10⁵ cells ml⁻¹, three times higher than the cell density obtained with Bold basal medium and with the initial formulation. The formulation of the optimal Haematococcus medium (OHM) is (in g l⁻¹) KNO₃ 0.41, Na₂HPO₄ 0.03, MgSO₄ · 7H₂O 0.246, CaCl₂ · 2H₂O 0.11, (in mg l⁻¹) Fe(III)citrate · H₂O 2.62, CoCl₂ · 6H₂O 0.011, CuSO₄ · 5H₂O 0.012, Cr₂O₃ 0.075, MnCl₂ · 4H₂O 0.98, Na₂MoO₄ · 2H₂O 0.12, SeO₂ 0.005 and (in μg l⁻¹]) biotin 25, thiamine 17.5 and B₁₂ 15. Vanadium, iodine, boron and zinc were demonstrated to be non-essential for the growth of H. pluvialis. Higher steady-state cell densities were obtained by a three-fold increase of all nutrient concentrations but a high nitrate concentration remained in the culture medium under such conditions. The high cell productivities obtained with the new optimized medium can serve as a basis for the development of a two-stage technology for the production of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis.

Role of media composition in biomass and astaxanthin production of Haematococcus pluvialis under two-stage cultivation

In the present study, the effects of four different culture media on the growth, astaxanthin production and morphology of Haematococcus pluvialis LUGU were studied under two-step cultivation. The interactions between astaxanthin synthesis and secondary messengers, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) were also investigated. In the first green vegetative cell stage, maximal biomass productivity (86.54 mg L⁻¹ day⁻¹) was obtained in BBM medium. In the induction stage, the highest astaxanthin content (21.5 mg g⁻¹) occurred in BG-11 medium, which was higher than in any other media. The expressions of MAPK and astaxanthin biosynthetic genes in BG-11 were higher than in any other media, whereas the ROS content was lower. Biochemical and physiological analyses suggested that the ROS, MAPK and astaxanthin biosynthetic gene expression was involved in astaxanthin biosynthesis in H. pluvialis under different culture media conditions. This study proposes a two-step cultivation strategy to efficiently produce astaxanthin using microalgae.
