For biodiesel production from microalgae, it is desirable to understand the entire triacylglycerol (TAG) metabolism. TAG accumulation occurs in oil bodies, and although body-associated proteins could play important roles metabolism, only a few microalgal species have been studied by comprehensive analysis. Diatoms are microalgae that promising producers of biodiesel, on which such proteomics analysis has not conducted date. Herein, we identified oleaginous diatom Fistulifera sp. strain JPCC...
Biofuel production using microalgae is believed to have the advantage of continuous year-round over crop plants, which strong seasonality. However, actual microalgal lipids outdoor mass cultivation has rarely been demonstrated. In our previous study, it was demonstrated that oleaginous diatom, Fistulifera solaris, culturable in bioreactors from spring autumn, whereas biomass and lipid winter failed because F. solaris did not grow below 15 °C. Therefore, another candidate strain required....
Water surface-floating microalgae have great potential for biofuel applications due to the ease of harvesting process, which is one most problematic steps in conventional microalgal production. We collected promising water and characterized their capacity biomass lipid In this study, we performed chemical mutagenesis two elevate productivity. Floating strains AVFF007 FFG039 (tentatively identified as Botryosphaerella sp. Chlorococcum sp., respectively) were exposed ethyl methane sulfonate...
Abstract Microalgal harvesting and dewatering are the main bottlenecks that need to be overcome tap potential of microalgae for production valuable compounds. Water surface-floating form robust biofilms, float on water surface along with gas bubbles entrapped under have great these bottlenecks. However, little is known about molecular mechanisms involved in phenotype. In present study, we analysed genome sequence a microalga Chlorococcum sp. FFG039, next generation sequencing technique...
Introduction Microalgae are attracting attention as promising candidates for CO 2 fixation and biomaterial production, due to no competition with food feed, high growth rates photosynthetic ability. To expand the use of microalgae a host it is crucial develop efficient versatile gene introduction technologies microalgae, enabling diverse metabolic modifications. Several methods, such microparticle bombardment, electroporation, bacterial conjugation, have been developed deliver foreign DNA...
冬季におけるバイオディーゼル燃料生産の候補株として北九州沿岸から単離された耐冷性海洋珪藻Mayamaea 属JPCC CTDA0820 株は10℃において高いオイル含有量(47%)を示した。本株は5-28℃までの広い温度域において培養可能であり,最適化した培養条件において,バイオマス及びオイルの生産性は31 g/m2/day,9.8 g/m2/day であった。更に当該株の屋外大量培養に成功した。これらの結果からMayamaea 株は,低温環境下においてバイオディーゼル燃料生産を可能とし,これまでにバイオディーゼル燃料生産に用いてきた海洋珪藻Fistulifera solaris JPCC DA0580株と組み合わせることで,年間を通じた安定生産が可能になる。
