小球藻与固氮菌Mesorhizobium sp.共培养对小球藻生长和油脂积累的促进效果

微藻油脂不仅可以作为功能油脂,同时也是生产生物柴油的重要原料之一。为解决微藻生长与油脂积累之间的矛盾,利用藻菌共培养技术在缺氮条件下将无菌小球藻与细菌以不同初始比例进行共培养,通过测定藻细胞生物量、油脂含量和脂肪酸比例等来研究藻菌共培养对小球藻生长和油脂积累的影响。结果表明,在小球藻与固氮菌B2. 3 70∶1(V/V)共培养体系中,小球藻的生物量和油脂含量较同样条件下单独培养小球藻有了显著提高。其生物量最高可达1. 68g/L、总脂含量为45. 2%、总脂产率为75. 94 mg/(L·d)、中性脂含量为23. 0%及中性脂产率为38. 65mg/(L·d),其生物量和油脂含量分别较单独小球藻培养时提高了66. 3%和47. 7%。同时细菌的加入显著提高了藻细胞内C18∶1脂肪酸的比例。结论表明,通过藻菌共培养技术能够有效提高微藻生物油脂的质量和产量,具有较好的实际利用价值。     

菌藻共生提高小球藻生物量和产油率

微藻规模化养殖常伴随着细菌的影响,存在于微藻藻际的细菌对微藻生长的影响及藻菌共生的机理尚缺乏深入研究。为建立有益的菌藻共生体系和提高微藻生物质产量,以埃氏小球藻(Chlorella emersonii)为试材,分离藻际微环境的菌群,并运用16S rDNA测序进行鉴定。通过藻菌(1∶1)共培养筛选优势促生菌。人工构建不同比例的菌藻共培养体系,分析优势促生菌对微藻生长和生物质产量的影响。结果显示,从埃氏小球藻藻株SXND-25藻际分离到6个菌种,属于菠萝泛菌属(Pantoea)、假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)、鹑鸡肠球菌属(Enterococcus gallinarum)和大肠杆菌属(Escherichia coli)四个菌属。其中假单胞菌(Pseudomonas)和菠萝泛菌(Pantoea)为优势促生菌。与其他不同比例菌藻共培养相比,埃氏小球藻与菠萝泛菌1∶5共培养的促生效果突出,埃氏小球藻在第8天生物量达5.86 g/L,藻细胞含油量为26.88%,总油脂产量为1.575 g/L且单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA)高达554-564mg/L。另一优异组合为埃氏小球藻与假单胞菌1∶1共培养,埃氏小球藻第8天生物量为4.12 g/L,藻细胞含油量达29.50%,总油脂产量提高到1.215 g/L,但MUFA含量低(168-175 mg/L)。研究表明在埃氏小球藻培养过程中,适量添加促生菌,可同时提高埃氏小球藻生物质和油脂产量,这为探究藻菌互作效应以及有益藻菌共生体系应用于微藻规模化生产提供参考依据。     

Fe~(3+)对小球藻的生长及油脂含量的影响

传统化石能源储量日益减少,生物柴油因其环保可再生性成为优质的石化柴油替代品。利用小球藻生产生物柴油速度快、油脂含量高,受到了广泛关注。为进一步提高小球藻生产生物柴油效率,分别探究了Fe3+的浓度及添加时间对自养和异养小球藻生长及产油的影响,获得最优Fe3+培养条件为:自养小球藻延滞期添加10-3 g/L Fe3+,生物量及油脂含量达2.80 g/L及30.90%;异养小球藻指数期添加10-5 g/L Fe3+,生物量及油脂含量达3.30 g/L及29.05%。经脂肪酸分析,以上条件获得的微藻油脂均可作为生物柴油生产原料。     

不同光质对小球藻光自养培养积累油脂的影响

研究了5种光质对小球藻(Chlorella vulgaris)M209256生长和产油的影响。结果表明:蓝光为小球藻的最适生长和产油光质;与其他光质相比,蓝光培养的小球藻生物量和油脂含量均较高,为2.40×107个/mL和28%;红光培养的小球藻生长最慢且油脂含量最低,为1.32×107个/mL和15.13%,表现出明显的"红降"现象。在GCMS分析的基础上,对油脂甲酯化后的十六烷值进行评估,结果发现:蓝光的十六烷值最高;5种光质培养的小球藻所产油脂,甲酯十六烷值均在47以上。因此,小球藻油脂所制备的生物柴油具有较好的燃烧性能。

Waste molasses alone displaces glucose-based medium for microalgal fermentation towards cost-saving biodiesel production

The by-product of sugar refinery—waste molasses was explored as alternative to glucose-based medium of Chlorella protothecoides in this study. Enzymatic hydrolysis is required for waste molasses suitable for algal growth. Waste molasses hydrolysate was confirmed as a sole source of full nutrients to totally replace glucose-based medium in support of rapid growth and high oil yield from algae. Under optimized conditions, the maximum algal cell density, oil content, and oil yield were respectively 70.9 g/L, 57.6%, and 40.8 g/L. The scalability of the waste molasses-fed algal system was confirmed from 0.5 L flasks to 5 L fermenters. The quality of biodiesel from waste molasses-fed algae was probably comparable to that from glucose-fed ones. Economic analysis indicated the cost of oil production from waste molasses-fed algae reduced by 50%. Significant cost reduction of algal biodiesel production through fermentation engineering based on the approach is expected.

Simultaneous treatment of municipal wastewater and biodiesel production by cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris with indigenous wastewater bacteria

This study examined the use of Chlorella vulgaris for the simultaneous bioremediation of municipal wastewater and production of biodiesel. We tested the effect of wastewater dilution on C. vulgaris growth in filtered and sterilized wastewater, sterilized wastewater, and untreated wastewater. Growth was the greatest in untreated wastewater, suggesting that certain wastewater components, such as bacteria, may promote microalgal growth. We confirmed the presence of beneficial bacteria by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis and inoculation of wastewater bacteria into microalgal cultures in artificial medium. Furthermore, we employed a semi-continuous cultivation process that successfully combined the advantages of indigenous bacteria with a high level of inoculum. Finally, cells grown in wastewater contained high levels of useful fatty acids. Collectively, our data suggest that it may be feasible to use wastewater-grown C. vulgaris biomass for simultaneous bioremediation and biodiesel production.

Genetics of the relationship between the ciliate Paramecium bursaria and its symbiotic algae

Abstract. Paramecium bursaria , a freshwater protozoan, typically harbors hundreds of symbiotic algae ( Chlorella sp.) in its cytoplasm. The relationship between host paramecia and symbiotic algae is stable and mutually beneficial in natural environments. We recently collected an aposymbiotic strain of P. bursaria . Infection experiments revealed that the natural aposymbiotic strain (Ysa2) showed unstable symbiosis with Chlorella sp. The algae aggregated at the posterior region of the host, resulting in aposymbiotic cell production after cell division. Cross-breeding analyses were performed to determine the heritability of the aposymbiotic condition. In crosses of Ysa2 with symbiotic strains of P. bursaria , F1 progeny were able to form stable symbioses with Chlorella sp. However, unstable symbiosis, resembling Ysa2 infection, occurred in some F2 progeny of sibling crosses between symbiotic F1 clones. Infection experiments using aposymbiotic F2 cells showed that these F2 subclones have limited ability to reestablish the symbiosis. These results indicate that the maintenance of stable symbiosis is genetically controlled and heritable, and that Ysa2 is a mutant lacking the mechanisms to establish stable symbiosis with Chlorella sp.     

Characterization of a microalga Chlorella sp. well adapted to highly concentrated municipal wastewater for nutrient removal and biodiesel production

The feasibility of growing Chlorella sp. in the centrate, a highly concentrated municipal wastewater stream generated from activated sludge thickening process, for simultaneous wastewater treatment and energy production was tested. The characteristics of algal growth, biodiesel production, wastewater nutrient removal and the viability of scale-up and the stability of continuous operation were examined. Two culture media, namely autoclaved centrate (AC) and raw centrate (RC) were used for comparison. The results showed that by the end of a 14-day batch culture, algae could remove ammonia, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 93.9%, 89.1%, 80.9%, and 90.8%, respectively from raw centrate, and the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content was 11.04% of dry biomass providing a biodiesel yield of 0.12 g-biodiesel/L-algae culture solution. The system could be successfully scaled up, and continuously operated at 50% daily harvesting rate, providing a net biomass productivity of 0.92 g-algae/(L day).

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.
