Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microalgae culture, and particularly relates to a method for promoting carbon fixation and oil production of microalgae by using phytohormones and saline wastewater. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the global industrialization process, the energy demand continues to climb. The extensive use of fossil fuels has caused a series of serious environmental problems. Seeking sustainable clean energy alternatives has become an urgent task.

[0003] As a renewable energy source, biodiesel has attracted much attention in recent years due to its advantages such as biodegradability and low pollution. Microalgae, as a type of tiny single-celled algae organisms, have high carbon fixation and oil production capabilities. Their oils can be used to produce biodiesel and are regarded as ideal raw materials for the third-generation biofuels. However, despite the many advantages of microalgae, the large-scale production of their lipids still faces severe cost challenges. The costs of culture media, harvesting, and subsequent oil extraction in the microalgae culture process remain high, seriously restricting the large-scale industrial production and application of microalgae biodiesel.

[0004] To reduce the cost of microalgae culture, wastewater resources are regarded as a potential solution. Wastewater has a wide range of sources, covering industrial, agricultural, and urban domestic fields, and contains abundant nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which are exactly what microalgae need for growth. Using wastewater as a culture medium to cultivate microalgae can not only provide nutrients for microalgae, realize the recycling of waste resources, and reduce the culture cost, but also microalgae can remove pollutants such as nutrients in the wastewater and capture carbon dioxide during the growth process, with the dual benefits of environmental governance and energy production.

[0005] Previous studies have found that although salt stress can significantly increase the lipid accumulation in microalgae, it also inhibits the growth rate of microalgae, resulting in the overall lipid productivity not being effectively improved. Therefore, how to increase the growth rate of microalgae while increasing their lipid content and achieve the overall high efficiency of microalgae lipid production has become a difficult problem to be solved urgently in the current microalgae research field.

[0091] Test Example 1: Microalgae transcriptome sequencing analysis test.

[0092] Test samples: Microalgae cultured in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 2-3.

[0093] Test method: After extracting the total RNA of microalgae, transcriptome sequencing was performed. DESeq2 software was used for differential expression gene analysis. The microalgae cultured in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 3 were compared pairwise with the microalgae cultured in Comparative Example 2 to screen out genes with significant differential expression under different conditions. Goatools software was used for GO enrichment analysis of the genes in the gene set to obtain the functions where the differential genes were concentrated, and Fisher's exact test was used with adjusted P Padjust < 0.05. KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on the genes in DEGs and upregulated DEGs, and then compared with the KEGG database to determine the biological processes involved in the differential expression genes.

[0094] The test results of differential expression genes of the microalgae cultured in Comparative Example 3 are as Figure 1 shown, and the test results of differential expression genes of the microalgae cultured in Example 1 are as Figure 2 shown, and the test results of differential expression genes of the microalgae cultured in Example 2 are as Figure 3 shown. Under the synergistic action of abscisic acid with auxin and gibberellin, the differential expression genes of microalgae were mainly upregulated, indicating that these three exogenous plant hormones increased the expression of certain genes related to the salt tolerance ability of microalgae during the regulation of the growth and metabolism of Chlorella, thereby improving the growth and lipid accumulation of microalgae.

[0095] The GO analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Comparative Example 3 are as Figure 4 shown. The GO analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Example 1 are as Figure 5 shown. The GO analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Example 2 are as Figure 6 shown. It can be seen that under the regulation of plant hormones, the inherent components and components of the cell membrane are significantly enriched, and mainly relieve oxidative damage under salt stress by promoting the vesicle-mediated transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus; in Example 1, after adding abscisic acid and auxin, the catalytic activity of the microalgae and the activity of protein peptide modification activating enzymes are significantly improved, effectively improving the antioxidant capacity of the microalgae.

[0096] The KEGG analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Comparative Example 3 are as Figure 7 shown. The KEGG analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Example 1 are as Figure 8 shown. The KEGG analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Example 2 are as Figure 9 shown. It can be seen that abscisic acid mainly affects the degradation proteasome autophagy of valine, leucine and isoleucine; the combined application of abscisic acid and gibberellin has a significant impact on carotenoid biosynthesis, sulfur metabolism, photosynthesis, pyrimidine metabolism, etc.; the combined application of abscisic acid and auxin mainly acts on the improvement of the biosynthetic pathway of the terpene skeleton basic signaling pathway, so as to relieve oxidative damage under salt stress through more pathways.

[0097] Test Example 2: Microalgae biomass test.

[0098] Test samples: Microalgae cultured in each example and comparative example.

[0099] Test method: Take 50 mL of algal liquid, centrifuge and discard the supernatant, dry it at 60 °C for 12 h until constant weight, and weigh it after cooling to room temperature in a desiccator.

[0100] The test results of the microalgae biomass cultured by the present invention are as Figure 10As shown, it can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-2 that the biological yield of microalgae in saline wastewater is much lower than that in non-saline wastewater, and the salinity greatly inhibits the growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa; it can be seen from Comparative Example 3 and Examples 1-2 that the presence of abscisic acid can significantly alleviate the adverse effects caused by the salinity stress of saline wastewater on microalgae, enhance the adaptability of microalgae to salt stress, and abscisic acid and auxin or gibberellin act synergistically to play a greater advantage in regulating the growth of microalgae in saline wastewater; it can be seen from Examples 3-4 and Comparative Examples 4-5 that 4-amino-2-methylthio-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide and 4-methyl-5-thiazole ethanol can synergistically enhance the biological yield of microalgae and increase the growth of microalgae in a salt stress environment. At the same time, the adjustment of 4-amino-2-methylthio-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide can play a positive regulatory role in the growth of microalgae; it can be seen from Examples 5-6 that adding N-phenylphthalimide on the basis of 4-amino-2-methylthio-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide and 4-methyl-5-thiazole ethanol, the combined action of the three can more effectively promote the growth of microalgae in saline wastewater and regulate the physiological metabolism of microalgae cells under salt stress in a larger range.

[0101] Test Example 3: Measurement of microalgae oil yield.

[0102] Test samples: Microalgae cultured in each example and comparative example.

[0103] Test method: Take 50 mL of algal solution, discard the supernatant after centrifugation, resuspend with deionized water, add chloroform-methanol solution after cell disruption, so that the final mass ratio of chloroform, methanol and deionized water is 2:1:0.8, shake well and let stand for 10 min, take the lower chloroform oil layer after centrifugation, and obtain the microalgae oil extract after nitrogen blowing, weigh to obtain the microalgae oil content, and calculate the microalgae oil yield.

[0104] The test results of the microalgae oil yield cultured by the present invention are as Figure 11As shown, it can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-2 that adding sodium chloride to the wastewater significantly increased the lipid content of microalgae. However, due to the significant inhibitory effect of sodium chloride on the growth of microalgae, the oil yield of microalgae did not increase synchronously but decreased. It can be seen from Comparative Example 3 and Examples 1-2 that abscisic acid significantly promoted the oil accumulation of Chlorella pyrenoidosa in saline wastewater. And due to the significant promoting effect of abscisic acid on the growth of microalgae in saline wastewater, the oil yield of microalgae was further increased at this time. At the same time, when abscisic acid was combined with auxin and gibberellin, the oil yield of microalgae could be increased. It can be seen from Examples 3-4 and Comparative Examples 4-5 that 4-amino-2-methylthio-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide and 4-methyl-5-thiazole ethanol had a positive impact on improving the oil content and yield of microalgae, and the two needed to work synergistically. It can be seen from Examples 5-6 that adding N-phenylphthalimide based on 4-amino-2-methylthio-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide and 4-methyl-5-thiazole ethanol, the combined effect of the three could more effectively promote the growth of microalgae and the accumulation of oil content in saline wastewater, and the lipid yield of microalgae also reached the highest.

[0106] Test samples: Microalgae oil extracts from Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-3 obtained in Test Example 2.

[0107] Test method: Dissolve 10 mg of microalgae oil extract in potassium hydroxide-methanol solution, vortex and mix well, then heat in a water bath at 75 °C for 15 min. After cooling to room temperature, add 2 mL of n-hexane, shake and extract for 5 min, centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 min, and take the upper n-hexane phase for GC-MS analysis to calculate the content of each fatty acid. Gas chromatography conditions: The chromatographic column is selected as a DB-5MS capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm); the carrier gas is high-purity helium, with a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min; the inlet temperature is 250 °C; the split ratio is 10:1; the programmed temperature rise: the initial temperature is 100 °C, hold for 2 minutes, rise to 200 °C at a rate of 10 °C / min, hold for 5 min, then rise to 280 °C at a rate of 5 °C / min, and hold for 5 min. Mass spectrometry conditions: EI ion source, electron energy 70 eV; ion source temperature 250 °C; scanning range m / z 40 - 500; solvent delay time 3 min.

[0108] The test results of the fatty acid composition of the microalgae lipid cultured in the present invention are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Test results of the fatty acid composition of microalgae oil

[0109] The results show that several fatty acids with relatively high contents in the Chlorella pyrenoidosa cultured by the present invention are linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), α-linolenic acid (C18:3n3) and palmitic acid (C16:0) respectively. C16-C18 fatty acids are considered as ideal raw materials for biodiesel. Therefore, the lipids produced by the Chlorella pyrenoidosa cultured by the present invention have good prospects for being developed into biodiesel. It can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-3 that sodium chloride and abscisic acid do not significantly change the ratio of C16-C18 fatty acids, but to a certain extent change the saturation degree of fatty acids. Under 20 g / L salt stress, the proportion of saturated fatty acids in microalgae lipids decreases, the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids increases significantly, and at the same time the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids decreases slightly. Under the action of abscisic acid, the proportions of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids in microalgae fatty acids increase slightly, and at the same time the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids decreases slightly. It can be seen from Examples 1-2 that the combined use of abscisic acid with auxin and gibberellin further increases the proportions of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids in microalgae fatty acids, and further down-regulates the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in fatty acids, indicating that under the regulation of plant hormones, the stress pressure on microalgae decreases. The change in the saturation degree of microalgae fatty acids also has a certain impact on the quality of the produced biodiesel. Unsaturated fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids, are prone to react with oxygen during storage or at high temperatures, resulting in the degradation of biodiesel. The increase in the saturation degree of fatty acids is beneficial to improving the antioxidant performance and chemical stability of the produced biodiesel. Therefore, the combined use of abscisic acid with auxin and gibberellin in the present invention is beneficial to enhancing the chemical stability of microalgae biodiesel.
