High cell density culture of the diatom Nitzschia laevis for eicosapentaenoic acid production: fed-batch development

A fed-batch process was developed for high cell density culture of the diatom Nitzschia laevis for enhanced production of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Firstly, among the various medium components, glucose (Glu) was identified as the limiting substrate while nitrate (NO₃⁻), tryptone (Tr) and yeast extract (Ye) were found to promote cell growth by enhancing specific growth rate. Therefore, these components were considered essential and were included in the feed medium for subsequent fed-batch cultivation. With the optimized ratio of NO₃⁻:Tr:Ye being 1:2.6:1.3 (by weight), the relative proportions of glucose to the nitrogen sources in the feed were investigated. The optimal ratios of Glu:NO₃⁻ for specific growth rate and EPA productivity were both determined to be 32:1 (by weight). Finally, based on the residual glucose concentration in the culture, a continuous medium feeding strategy for fed-batch fermenter cultivation was developed, with which, the maximal cell dry weight and EPA yield obtained were 22.1 g l⁻¹ and 695 mg l⁻¹, respectively, which were great improvements over those of batch cultures.     

鼩鼱科六个物种背部针毛的微观结构及其分类学意义

鼩鼱类动物多样性丰富,但因体型小、外形相似使其物种鉴定比较难。本文利用数码互动显微系统,对鼩形目鼩鼱科6 个物种背部针毛的鳞片和髓质微观结构进行比较。结果表明,6 种鼩鼱鳞片结构类型分为花瓣型、椭圆型、斜长方型、长戟型、竹节型、草芽型、波浪型、平滑型、锯齿型9 种类型,具有种的特异性,能 够用来鉴定这6 个鼩鼱物种;而髓质结构类型多数表现为条纹型,不能单独用来鉴定物种。鼩鼱针毛的鳞片微观结构作为鼩鼱科动物的分类指标,具有可行性。     

几种化学药剂对‘NJ72’油桃休眠解除的影响

在进行果树温室栽培时,经常遇到萌芽率低、萌芽开花延迟、花器官发育差、座果率低的问题。本试验以‘NJ72’油桃为试材,观察了3种药剂对解除芽休眠的影响。结果表明,2%(NH2)2CS能提早花期,但存在药害现象。6% KNO3不能提早花期,并且花期不整齐,5% NH4NO3效果与6%KNO3类似。同时化学药剂处理促进花芽内H2O2的积累,抑制了过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性但促进了过氧化物酶(POD)活性,超氧物岐化酶(SOD)活性变化较小。化学药剂处理使花芽的呼吸速率增加,其中磷酸戊糖途径(PPP)代谢增加,糖酵解(EMP)降低,而三羧酸循环(TCA)代谢波动较小。葡萄糖_6_磷酸脱氢酶(G6PDH)活性在化学药剂处理时也增加。

西藏唐北地区湖泊动态及空间格局预测

本研究评估了西藏唐古拉山以北地区(唐北地区)湖泊动态并预测了湖泊空间格局变化.使用面向对象分类和光谱角向量变化检测方法生成了2000-2015年西藏唐北地区每5年一期的生态系统分布数据.以此为基础,分析了湖泊与其他生态系统之间的转换和空间格局特征,评估了湖泊空间格局的动态及其与相关自然地理因素的关系.通过增强回归树识别了不同因素对湖泊动态的贡献,使用GEOMOD模型预测了湖泊到2030年的空间变化.结果表明:唐北地区在2000-2015年间湖泊增加了14.2%,是唐北地区生态系统变化的主要形式之一.区域内15个面积大于10 km2的湖泊有10个增加,另有5个减少,且缩减量较低.通过空间格局分析发现,唐北地区湖泊斑块表现为面积和数量同时增加,大斑块面积比重略有上升.扩张幅度高的湖泊多分布于海拔高、坡度大、温度低、降水少、距离冰川近的区域.位于现有湖泊周边、温度低、降水少、坡度小的区域转变为湖泊的几率较高.根据过去15年的趋势,到2030年,唐北地区湖泊将继续增加119 km2,主要变化形式从大湖扩张转变为小型水面扩张.

Continuous cultivation of the diatom Nitzschia laevis for eicosapentaenoic acid production: physiological study and process optimization

The continuous cultures of the diatom Nitzschia laevis were performed at different dilution rates (D) and feed glucose concentrations (S(0)) to investigate cellular physiological responses and its production potential of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Steady-state cell dry weight, residual glucose concentration, cell growth yield, specific glucose consumption rate, and fatty acid profiles were investigated within the range of D from 0.1 to 1.0 day(-1) (S(0) fixed at 20 g/L) and the range of S(0) from 5 to 35 g/L (D fixed at 0.3 day(-1)), respectively. The highest EPA productivity of 73 mg L(-1) day(-1) was obtained at D = 0.5 day(-1) and S(0) = 20 g/L. However, when the continuous culture achieved high productivities of EPA at certain dilution rates and feed glucose concentrations, glucose in the feed could not be consumed completely. Accordingly, the continuous culture was evaluated in terms of both EPA productivity (P) and glucose assimilation efficiency (E). The parameter eta, defined as the product of P and E, was used as an overall performance index. Since eta is a function of the two independent variables D and S(0), we employed a central composite design to optimize D and S(0) for the highest eta value. Based on the experimental results of the design, a second-order polynomial equation was established to represent the relationship between eta and D and S(0). The optimal values of D and S(0) were subsequently determined as 0.481 day(-1) and 15.56 g/L, respectively by the empirical model. The verification experiment confirmed the validity of the model. Under the optimal conditions, eta value reached 46.5 mg L(-1) day(-1), suggesting a considerably high efficiency of the continuous culture of N. laevis in terms of EPA production and glucose utilization.
