The invention relates to the technical field of microalgae heterotrophic culture and
biomass proliferation, in particular to a
chlorella pyrenoidosa heterotrophic high-density proliferation method. The specific technical scheme is as follows: the heterotrophic high-density proliferation method of
chlorella pyrenoidosa comprises the following steps: pre-culture and heterotrophic propagation of
chlorella pyrenoidosa: inoculating a
chlorella pyrenoidosa solution into a BG11 culture medium, and culturing for 3-4 days in a constant-temperature shaking table with the temperature of 25 + / -1 DEG C, the rotating speed of 200rpm and the light-dark ratio of 0h: 24h to obtain a
primary culture chlorella solution; inoculating the
primary culture algae liquid into a pre-sterilized and optimized heterotrophic culture medium, and carrying out expanding culture under the same culture condition for 3-4 days to obtain a secondary expanding culture
algae liquid; (2) a heterotrophic high-density culture stage: regularly supplementing a
nutrient culture medium containing high-concentration glucose,
nitrate and
phosphate by adopting an index fed-batch feeding strategy; other conditions are kept consistent during culture; and (3) an in-situ
protein accumulation induction stage: when the
chlorella pyrenoidosa reaches an
exponential growth end stage, adding
paclobutrazol into the
system, and keeping other conditions consistent while keeping exponential fed-batch culture. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the
biomass of the
chlorella pyrenoidosa is increased by about 128.6% compared with that of the traditional batch culture, the
protein content can reach 49.14%, meanwhile, the configuration of essential amino acids is improved, and the requirements of high-end
biomass resource application are met. The method has the advantages of simplicity and convenience in operation and high production efficiency, and is suitable for the fields of high-quality
protein extraction and related biomass production.
