Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of duckweed biomass energy, in particular to a cultivation method for improving the starch yield of duckweed fronds. Background Art

[0002] Duckweed has become a starch resource with development potential due to its advantages such as fast growth rate, high nutrient utilization efficiency, and strong adaptability to various environments. Paradoxically, during the growth of duckweed, its nutrient utilization rate, i.e. biomass accumulation, is negatively correlated with starch accumulation (i.e. fast growth and low starch content; high starch content and relatively slow growth). In other words, it is difficult to achieve a balance between energy supply and whether it is mainly used for duckweed growth or starch accumulation. How to simultaneously increase duckweed's biomass and starch accumulation to achieve effective output of starch yield has always been a major problem in the duckweed cultivation process, and is also the key to the industrialization of duckweed starch.

[0003] At present, duckweed cultivation mainly involves several modes such as autotrophic, heterotrophic and co-cultivation. Generally speaking, under optimal growth conditions, the starch content of duckweed is maintained at a relatively low level, but under stress conditions such as nutrient limitation, salinity, strong light, plant hormone treatment, or after switching to a heterotrophic growth mode, the starch content of duckweed will increase. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) are essential macronutrients for plant growth and development, and are involved in the formation of cell structure and high-energy molecules (nucleic acids, proteins, chlorophyll, adenosine triphosphate and phospholipids). Duckweed can survive and even reproduce in the absence of these macronutrients for a long time. At present, the two most studied starch induction methods are N limitation (NL) and P limitation (PL). However, these two strategies induce starch accumulation in duckweed at the expense of biomass production. Therefore, despite the high starch content, starch yield may be greatly affected due to the trade-off between starch induction and plant growth. So for a single element to be limited, there is no significant improvement in the final starch yield. While heterotrophic and combined cultivation methods can effectively increase biomass, the effect on starch yield is not obvious. In addition, since the carbon source used in the cultivation process is often glucose, the cost of the cultivation process increases, which is not suitable for subsequent industrial production. Therefore, it is particularly important to seek a low-cost and high-efficiency cultivation method.

[0004] Since duckweed has a rapid growth period and a starch accumulation period during its growth process, nutrient solution can be added accordingly according to the growth period to ensure that both biomass can be increased and starch can be accumulated in large quantities. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problems in the prior art such as being unable to balance the biomass and starch content of duckweed and achieving a good final starch yield are addressed. The present invention provides a cultivation method for increasing the starch yield of duckweed fronds, and the method is to dynamically regulate the concentration of the added nutrient solution. During the rapid growth period of duckweed, a higher concentration of nutrient solution can promote rapid growth of duckweed and accumulate sufficient biomass; after entering the starch accumulation period, reducing the concentration of the nutrient solution can induce duckweed to use more energy for starch synthesis, thereby achieving a better starch yield and realizing a double increase in biomass and starch accumulation. Since it is a complex system regulated by the nutrient solution, there is no restriction on sacrificing biomass of a certain element to achieve a high starch content, and there is no problem of high cost of adding exogenous carbon sources. The method is simple and easy to operate.

[0082] This comparative example provides a method for culturing duckweed fronds with high density and high starch yield, comprising the following steps:

[0083] (1) Activation of the multi-rooted Spirodendrum ZH0196 germplasm in a conical flask: Pick the germplasm from the plate and add it to a 250 mL culture bottle containing 150 mL of nutrient solution. Irradiate with light for 24 h for 15 days to obtain the activated germplasm.

[0084] (2) The activated germplasm was inoculated at 80% into a culture device containing nutrient solution and cultured under 24-hour illumination for 4 days.

[0085] (3) A 50% concentration of nutrient solution with an initial pH of 5 to 5.5 is added to the culture device, and the expanded duckweed is inoculated into the culture device at 5% of the working volume. As the duckweed grows, the amount of nutrient solution decreases and is later supplemented with distilled water to maintain the volume of the initial culture solution.

[0086] The growth status of duckweed cultivated in Examples 1 to 2 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 is shown in the figure below: Figure 1 shown; through Figure 1 It can be seen that the higher the nutrient concentration, the more it is used for the growth of thallus and the less starch is accumulated.

[0087] The starch yields of duckweed cultured in Examples 1 to 2 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 at different stages are shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown by Figure 2 It can be seen that cultivation at different nutrient concentrations will result in different thallus growth cycles.

[0088] Table 1 shows the optimal biomass, starch content and yield of duckweed fronds cultured in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2, as follows:

[0089] Table 1

[0090] <![CDATA[Biomass / gm 2 > Starch content% <![CDATA[Starch yield / gm 2 > Example 1 145.68±0.53 42.60±0.46 61.77±0.44 Example 2 140.57±0.85 41.88±0.53 58.87±0.47 Comparative Example 1 127.98±4.80 42.06±0.76 53.80±1.06 Comparative Example 2 171.05±3.60 31.13±0.22 53.24±0.74 Comparative Example 3 131.44±0.93 37.82±0.33 49.71±0.56 Comparative Example 4 138.21±1.08 35.11±0.28 48.37±0.77

[0091] As can be seen from Table 1, according to the different growth stages of duckweed, the method of changing the nutrient concentration made the duckweed biomass reach a maximum of 145.68±0.53g / m 2 The highest starch yield reached 61.77±0.44g / m 2 , much higher than the comparative example using a single nutrient solution concentration. This is mainly because the duckweed in Examples 1 and 2 requires a higher nutrient solution concentration in the early growth stage to support rapid cell division and growth. At this time, sufficient nutrition can promote the development of duckweed's leaves and roots, laying a good foundation for subsequent growth; while in the later growth stage, the growth rate of duckweed gradually slows down, but the accumulation of starch continues. At this time, appropriately reducing the nutrient solution concentration can avoid excessive nutrient supply leading to plant leggy growth, while maintaining a certain nutrient level to maintain starch synthesis and accumulation, and ultimately increase starch yield. Comparative Examples 1 and 3 can clearly see that when the nutrient concentration is high, it is mainly used for biomass accumulation, and the degree of starch accumulation is not high; Comparative Examples 3 and 4 use a single nutrient concentration to cultivate with the growth of duckweed, and the later nutrients can no longer supply the growth of duckweed. Although starch is accumulating, the starch yield at this time is not as good as that of Examples 1 and 2.

[0092] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the protection scope of the invention.
