Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microalgae cultivation, and particularly relates to a method for promoting microalgae carbon fixation and oil production by utilizing plant hormones and saline wastewater. Background Art

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

[0003] As a renewable energy source, biodiesel has attracted much attention in recent years due to its biodegradability and low pollution. Microalgae, a type of tiny single-celled algae, are highly efficient in carbon fixation and oil production. Their oil can be used to produce biodiesel and is considered an ideal third-generation biofuel feedstock. However, despite the many advantages of microalgae, the large-scale production of their lipids still faces severe cost challenges. The high cost of culture medium, harvesting costs, and subsequent oil extraction during the microalgae cultivation process have severely restricted the large-scale industrial production and application of microalgae biodiesel.

[0004] To reduce the cost of microalgae cultivation, wastewater resources are seen as a potential solution. Wastewater comes from a wide range of sources, including industry, agriculture, and urban life. It is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which are essential for microalgae growth. Using wastewater as a culture medium for microalgae cultivation not only provides nutrients for the microalgae, realizing waste resource utilization and reducing cultivation costs, but also removes pollutants such as nutrients from the wastewater during growth and captures carbon dioxide, achieving the dual benefits of environmental governance and energy production.

[0005] Previous studies have found that while salt stress can significantly increase lipid accumulation in microalgae, it also inhibits their growth rate, resulting in an ineffective increase in overall lipid yield. Therefore, how to increase microalgae lipid content while accelerating their growth rate to achieve high overall efficiency in microalgae lipid production has become a pressing challenge in microalgae research.

[0094] Experimental Example 1: Microalgae transcriptome sequencing analysis test.

[0095] Test samples: microalgae cultured in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 2-3.

[0096] Testing method: After extracting total RNA from microalgae, transcriptome sequencing was performed, and differentially expressed genes were analyzed using DESeq2 software. The microalgae cultured in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 3 were compared with the microalgae cultured in Comparative Example 2 to screen out genes with significant differential expression under different conditions; GO enrichment analysis was performed on the genes in the gene set using Goatools software to obtain the functions in which the differential genes were more concentrated, and the Fisher method was used for exact test, with the corrected P Padjust < 0.05; KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on the genes in DEGs and up-regulated DEGs, and then compared with the KEGG database to determine the biological processes in which the differentially expressed genes were involved.

[0097] The results of the differentially expressed genes test of microalgae cultured in comparative example 3 are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Example 1, the test results of differentially expressed genes in microalgae cultured are as follows Figure 2 As shown in Example 2, the test results of differentially expressed genes in microalgae cultured are as follows Figure 3 As shown in the figure, under the synergistic effect of abscisic acid, auxin and gibberellin, the differentially expressed genes of microalgae were mainly up-regulated, indicating that these three exogenous plant hormones increased the expression of certain genes related to the salt tolerance of microalgae in the process of regulating the growth and metabolism of Chlorella, thereby improving the growth and oil accumulation of microalgae.

[0098] The results of GO analysis of microalgae cultured in comparative example 3 are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in Example 1, the GO analysis test results of the microalgae cultured are as follows Figure 5 As shown in Example 2, the GO analysis test results of the microalgae cultured are as follows Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that under the regulation of plant hormones, the intrinsic components of the cell membrane and the components of the membrane are significantly enriched, and the oxidative damage under salt stress is alleviated mainly by promoting the transport mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus vesicles; in Example 1, after the addition of abscisic acid and auxin, the catalytic activity of the microalgae and the activity of the protein peptide modification activating enzyme are significantly improved, and the antioxidant capacity of the microalgae is effectively improved.

[0099] The KEGG analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Comparative Example 3 are as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the KEGG analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Example 1 are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the KEGG analysis test results of the microalgae cultured in Example 2 are as follows: Figure 9 As shown in the data, abscisic acid mainly affects the degradation of valine, leucine and isoleucine, proteasome and autophagy; the combined application of abscisic acid and gibberellin has a significant effect on carotenoid biosynthesis, sulfur metabolism, photosynthesis, pyrimidine metabolism, etc.; the combined application of abscisic acid and auxin mainly acts on the improvement of the basic signaling pathway of the biosynthesis pathway of the terpenoid skeleton, thereby alleviating oxidative damage under salt stress through more pathways.

[0100] Test Example 2: Microalgae biomass test.

[0101] Test samples: microalgae cultured in various examples and comparative examples.

[0102] Test method: Take 50mL of algae liquid, centrifuge and discard the supernatant, dry at 60°C for 12 hours to reach constant weight, cool to room temperature in a desiccator, and then weigh.

[0103] The test results of the microalgae biomass cultured in the present invention are as follows: Figure 10As shown, from Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be seen that the biomass of microalgae in saline wastewater is much lower than that in non-saline wastewater, and salinity greatly inhibits the growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa; from Comparative Example 3 and Examples 1-2, it can be seen that the presence of abscisic acid can significantly alleviate the adverse effects of salinity stress in saline wastewater on microalgae, enhance the adaptability of microalgae to salt stress, and abscisic acid synergistically acts with auxin or gibberellin to regulate the growth of microalgae in saline wastewater. It can play a greater role; from Examples 3-4 and Comparative Examples 4-5, 4-amino-2-methylthiopyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid The results show that the addition of N-phenylphthalimide to 4-amino-2-methylthiopyrimidine-5-carboxamide can synergistically enhance the biomass of microalgae and improve the growth of microalgae under salt stress. At the same time, the adjustment of 4-amino-2-methylthiopyrimidine-5-carboxamide can actively regulate the growth of microalgae. As can be seen from Examples 5-6, the addition of N-phenylphthalimide to 4-amino-2-methylthiopyrimidine-5-carboxamide and 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol can more effectively promote the growth of microalgae in saline wastewater and regulate the physiological metabolism of microalgae cells under salt stress on a larger scale.

[0104] Test Example 3: Microalgae oil yield test.

[0105] Test samples: microalgae cultured in various examples and comparative examples.

[0106] Test method: Take 50mL of algae liquid, 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 it stand for 10 minutes, remove the lower chloroform oil layer after centrifugation, and obtain the microalgae oil extract after nitrogen blowing. The microalgae oil content is weighed and the microalgae oil yield is calculated.

[0107] The test results of the oil yield of microalgae cultured in the present invention are as follows: Figure 11As shown, from Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be seen that the addition of sodium chloride to the wastewater significantly increased the lipid content of the microalgae, but due to the significant inhibitory effect of sodium chloride on the growth of microalgae, the oil yield of the microalgae did not increase synchronously but decreased; from Comparative Example 3 and Examples 1-2, it can be seen that abscisic acid significantly promoted the oil accumulation of Chlorella pyrenoidosa in saline wastewater, and thanks to the significant promoting effect of abscisic acid on the growth of microalgae in saline wastewater, the oil yield of the microalgae was further improved. At the same time, the combined application of abscisic acid with auxin and gibberellin can improve the oil yield of the microalgae; From Examples 3-4 and Comparative Examples 4-5, it can be seen that 4-amino-2-methylthiopyrimidine-5-carboxamide and 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol can have a positive effect on improving the oil content and yield of microalgae, and the two need to work synergistically; from Examples 5-6, it can be seen that N-phenylphthalimide is added to 4-amino-2-methylthiopyrimidine-5-carboxamide and 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol. The combined effect of the three can more effectively promote the growth of microalgae in saline wastewater and the accumulation of oil content, and the lipid yield of the microalgae is also the highest.

[0108] Test Example 4: Microalgae oil fatty acid group test.

[0109] Test samples: microalgae oil extracts of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-3 obtained in Experimental Example 2.

[0110] Test method: Dissolve 10 mg of microalgae oil extract in potassium hydroxide-methanol solution, vortex mix, and heat in a 75°C water bath for 15 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, add 2 mL of n-hexane and extract with oscillation for 5 minutes. Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes. The upper n-hexane phase is collected for GC-MS analysis to calculate the content of each fatty acid. Gas chromatography conditions: A DB-5MS capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm) was used as the chromatographic column; high-purity helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min; the inlet temperature was 250°C; the split ratio was 10:1; and the temperature program was as follows: initial temperature 100°C, hold for 2 minutes, increase the temperature at 10°C / min to 200°C, hold for 5 minutes, then increase the temperature at 5°C / min to 280°C, hold for 5 minutes. Mass spectrometry conditions: EI ion source, electron energy 70 eV; ion source temperature 250°C; scan range m / z 40-500; solvent delay time 3 min.

[0111] The test results of the lipid fatty acid group of the microalgae cultured in the present invention are shown in Table 1:

[0112] Table 1 Test results of microalgae oil fatty acid group

[0113]

[0114] The result shows that several fatty acids with higher content in the pyrenoid chlorella cultivated by the present invention are respectively linoleic acid (C18:2n6c) and α-linolenic acid (C18:3n3) and palmitic acid (C16:0). C16-C18 fatty acid is considered to be the raw material of ideal biodiesel. Therefore, the lipid produced by the pyrenoid chlorella cultivated by the present invention has a good prospect of being developed into biodiesel. As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-3, sodium chloride and abscisic acid do not significantly change the ratio of C16-C18 fatty acids, but change the saturation of fatty acids to a certain extent. Under 20g / L salt stress, the ratio of saturated fatty acids in microalgae lipids decreases, the ratio of monounsaturated fatty acids significantly increases, and the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids slightly decreases. Under the effect of abscisic acid, the ratio of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids in microalgae fatty acids slightly increases, and the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids slightly decreases. As can be seen from Examples 1-2, the combined use of abscisic acid with auxin and gibberellins further increases the ratio of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids in microalgae fatty acids, and further reduces the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids in fatty acids, indicating that under the regulation of plant hormones, the stress pressure suffered by microalgae is reduced. The change in the saturation of microalgae fatty acids also has a certain impact on the quality of the biodiesel produced. Unsaturated fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids, easily react with oxygen under storage or high temperature, resulting in the degradation of biodiesel. The rise in the saturation of fatty acids is conducive to improving the antioxidant properties and chemical stability of the biodiesel produced. Therefore, the combined use of abscisic acid with auxin and gibberellins in the present invention is conducive to promoting the chemical stability of microalgae biodiesel.
