Present study aims to optimize the production of starch and total carbohydrates from Arthrospira platensis. Growing concerns toward unprecedented environmental issues associated with plastic pollution has created a tremendous impetus to develop new biomaterials for the production of bioplastic. Starch-based biopolymers from algae serve as sustainable feedstock for thermoplastic starch production due to their abundant availability and low cost. A. platensis was cultivated in Zarrouk's medium at 32 ± 1°C and exposed to red light with a photoperiod of 12:12 hr light/dark. Growth kinetics studies showed that the maximum specific growth rate (μmax) obtained was 0.059 day−1 with the doubling time (td) of 11.748 days. Subsequently, Zarrouk's medium with different concentrations of sulfur, phosphorus and nitrogen was prepared to establish the nutrient-limiting conditions to enhance the accumulation of starch and total carbohydrates. In this study, the highest starch accumulated was 6.406 ± 0.622 mg L−1 under optimized phosphorus limitation (0.025 g L−1) conditions. Nitrogen limitation (0.250 g L−1) results demonstrated significant influenced (p < 0.05) on total carbohydrates (67.573 ± 2.893 mg L−1) accumulation in A. platensis. The starch accumulation in A. platensis was significantly affected (p < 0.05) by phosphorus limitation (0.0025 g L−1). Subsequently, the optimized phosphorus concentration was coupled with mixotrophic cultivation to further enhance the starch accumulation. The results obtained indicated that, the starch (11.426 ± 0.314 mg L−1) and carbohydrates (43.053 ± 2.986 mg L−1) concentration obtained was significantly high (p < 0.05) under mixotrophic cultivation. Therefore, it shown that nutrient limitation and mixotrophic cultivation are viable strategies to enhance the accumulation of starch and total carbohydrates in A. platensis. 相似文献
