A bicarbonate-based integrated carbon capture and algae production system (BICCAPS) uses carbonate to CO2 produce bicarbonate for alkalihalophilic microalgal cultivation. In this process, is regenerated re-used capture. However, a practical example of recycling culture prove its feasibility still absent.To reach goal, Neochloris oleoabundans was created in study. The effect concentration on N. growth showed that the highest productivity obtained at 0.3 mol L-1, but apparent utilization...
Chloroplast and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized fatty acid (FA) transporters have been reported to play important roles in oil (mainly triacylglycerols, TAG) biosynthesis. However, whether these FA synergistically contribute lipid accumulation, their effect on metabolism microalgae are unknown.Here, we co-overexpressed two chloroplast-localized exporters (FAX1 FAX2) one ER-localized transporter (ABCA2) Chlamydomonas. Under standard growth conditions, FAX1/FAX2/ABCA2 over-expression...
Protein engineering is a powerful tool to enhance the catalytic performance of enzymes. State-of-the-art methodologies usually focus on identifying positions in localized regions, such as binding pockets and substrate access tunnels. Here, we presented global dynamic design strategy evolve cytochrome P450s for improved by distant residues. Three potential (D164, A195, E405) were identified subjected site saturation mutagenesis (SSM), resulting beneficial variant 8G8/D164N/A195P, which...
Siliceous diatoms are one of the most prominent actors in oceans, and they account for approximately 40% primary production particulate organic carbon export flux. It is believed that changes flux caused by variations diatom distribution can lead to significant climate shifts. Although fundamental pathways diatom-driven sequestration have long been established, there no reports CaCO3 precipitation induced marine species. This paper introduces novel phenomena Skeletonema costatum induce...
Mixing in traditional algae culture system consumes intensive electricity. This should be replaced by nature force to reduce energy cost and, more importantly, realize positive balance of algal biofuel production. study aims develop a horizontal photobioreactor, which mixing can provided with rocking movement driven force. Simple boxes were used as small-scale photobioreactors on platform for alkalihalophilic Euhalothece sp. ZM001. There was no CO2 gas bubbling since 1.0 M NaHCO3 supplied...
Unlike conventional cultivation systems, liquid mixing in floating photobioreactors (PBRs) is solely induced by their hydrodynamic movement response to waves, and this affected the wave conditions (wave height period), PBR configuration culture depth. However, best of our knowledge, a practical study movements PBRs has not been previously conducted.This aims investigate performance conditions. First, effects experimental (2-10 cm) period (0.8-1.8 s) on was investigated using two 1.0 m2...
The wave-driven floating photobioreactors (PBRs) with advantages of easy in scaling-up, low energy inputs and fabricating cost, hold great potential for massive cost-energy effective microalgae production. However, their applications may be seriously challenged by intermittent waves that could produce very poor mixing under wave conditions, leading to a significant reduction biomass productivity or even collapse the cultures. To improve utilization efficiency efficient stable production...
Microalgae have been considered great candidates for carbon reduction and sustainable feedstock foods, biofuels, biochemicals, but their production usually features low productivity, high costs, intensive energy inputs. The thick culture layer adopted in conventional cultivation systems (5.0–30 cm) has established as a significant reason the above problems. In this study, novel mixing-based thin-layer fountain photobioreactor (TLF-PBR) was developed. A pump used to spray microalgal mixing....
Using sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) as the carbon source makes it possible to decouple mixing and supply in microalgae cultivation, a periodical may be sufficient support rapid growth. To test this idea, growth of screened Leptolyngbya sp. DUT 001 cultured with NaHCO3 was evaluated bubbling column photobioreactor. First, culture medium strain optimized 25.2 g L–1 0.5 NaNO3, which condition achieved highest biomass productivity carbohydrate content were 0.74 d–1 75.7 ± 1.3%, respectively....
