Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of microalgae cultivation, and more specifically to a method for microalgae cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale microalgae cultivation requires substantial water resources. Reusing the culture medium can reduce the demand for freshwater and nutrients. Therefore, recycling the culture medium after algal cell harvesting is crucial for the economic feasibility and environmental sustainability of the microalgae industry. However, after a period of cultivation, the culture medium deteriorates significantly. Compared to fresh culture medium, recycling inhibits algal growth, reduces biomass yield, and may even halt further cultivation. The main reason for culture medium deterioration is likely that microalgae produce and secrete organic matter into the culture environment during their own metabolism, inhibiting algal growth. These metabolic products are called extracellular organic matter. This extracellular organic matter mainly includes: ① organic matter secreted into the culture medium from within or on the surface of microalgae cells; ② protocellular organic matter that enters the culture medium after microalgae die and lyse. The harmful effect of extracellular organic matter is primarily its inhibitory effect on microalgal growth. Generally, extracellular organic matter of microalgae is mainly composed of fatty acids, polysaccharides, and proteins, primarily originating from intracellular and cell membrane components of microalgae.
[0003] Different types of microalgal growth inhibitors exhibit different growth-inhibiting mechanisms. For example, fatty acids can damage plasma membranes, including mitochondrial and chloroplast membranes, leading to impaired cellular energy supply and acquisition, reduced respiratory and photosynthetic activity, and even cell lysis due to membrane damage. Polysaccharides can cause cell aggregation, affecting nutrient uptake from the environment and slowing cell growth. Humic acid may impair intracellular catalase, leading to hydrogen peroxide accumulation and oxidative damage. Furthermore, some inhibitors also participate in intracellular signal transduction processes, inducing programmed cell death.
[0004] The presence of growth inhibitors in microalgae circulating culture media significantly limits its practical reuse. This is particularly true for heterotrophic and multitrophic microalgae cultivation. With the addition of organic matter, microalgae cells grow rapidly, reaching very high cell densities in a short time. Consequently, extracellular organic matter in the culture medium accumulates to high levels, exerting a far more pronounced inhibitory effect on microalgae growth than in autotrophic cultivation. Therefore, to achieve culture medium recycling and reduce water consumption in multitrophic microalgae cultivation, the key lies in reducing the secretion of growth-inhibiting organic matter and removing growth inhibitors from the culture medium. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of inhibiting microalgae growth and increasing water consumption after recycling microalgae culture medium in the existing technology, and to provide a microalgae cultivation method that can effectively control the generation of organic matter with growth-inhibiting effect during microalgae cultivation and reduce cultivation water consumption.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for cultivating microalgae, wherein the method includes the following steps:
[0007] (1) Microalgae were cultured in the presence of lipid degradation inhibitors to obtain algal solution;
[0008] (2) The algal solution is separated, adsorbed and sterilized to obtain a culture medium;
[0009] (3) Return the culture medium to step (1) for reuse.
[0010] The method provided by this invention involves adding a lipid degradation inhibitor during microalgae cultivation to promote lipid synthesis, inhibit the production of free fatty acids and fatty acid degradation products, and prevent the accumulation of substances with microalgae growth-inhibiting effects in the culture medium. In addition, the method further removes the substances with microalgae growth-inhibiting effects through adsorption, thereby more effectively relieving the inhibitory effect on microalgae growth after recycling the microalgae culture medium, increasing the number of culture medium recycling cycles, thereby reducing the water consumption for preparing the culture medium and lowering the water consumption for microalgae cultivation. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The endpoints and any values of the ranges disclosed herein are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values should be understood to include values close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges, the endpoint values of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed herein.
[0012] This invention provides a method for cultivating microalgae, wherein the method includes the following steps:
[0013] (1) Microalgae were cultured in the presence of lipid degradation inhibitors to obtain algal solution;
[0014] (2) The algal solution is separated, adsorbed and sterilized to obtain a culture medium;
[0015] (3) Return the culture medium to step (1) for reuse.
[0016] The method provided by this invention involves adding a lipid degradation inhibitor during microalgae cultivation to promote lipid synthesis, inhibit the production of free fatty acids and fatty acid degradation products, and prevent the accumulation of substances with microalgae growth-inhibiting effects in the culture medium. In addition, the method further removes the substances with microalgae growth-inhibiting effects through adsorption, thereby more effectively relieving the inhibitory effect on microalgae growth after recycling the microalgae culture medium, increasing the number of culture medium recycling cycles, thereby reducing the water consumption for preparing the culture medium and lowering the water consumption for microalgae cultivation.
[0017] In this invention, there is no particular limitation on the specific species of microalgae. The method provided by this invention is particularly suitable for the cultivation of high-protein microalgae. Preferably, in step (1), the microalgae species is an oil-based microalgae species, further preferably selected from at least one of Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella ellipsoidea, and Scenedesmus spicata, and even more preferably selected from Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Using Chlorella pyrenoidosa species within the above-preferred range, due to its high protein content, is beneficial for further improving the utilization value of microalgal biomass.
[0018] In this invention, a fat degradation inhibitor is introduced to promote the synthesis of lipids and inhibit the production of free fatty acids and fatty acid degradation products, thus preventing the substances with microalgae growth-inhibiting effects from remaining in the culture medium.

Using orlistat as a fat degradation inhibitor is beneficial for inhibiting the production of free fatty acids and fatty acid degradation products, preventing the accumulation of substances with microalgae growth-inhibiting effects in the algal culture medium, and improving the value of microalgae cultivation.
[0019] In this invention, preferably, the final concentration of the lipid degradation inhibitor in the algal solution is 5-100 nmol / L, more preferably 20-60 nmol / L.
