Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of algae expansion, in particular to an automatic Haematococcus pluvialis expansion machine. Background Art

[0002] Haematococcus pluvialis is a single-celled green algae. The cells are oval or ovate, ranging in size from 5 microns to about 40-70 microns, or sometimes even larger. There are two flagella to propel the cells to swim freely. There is a gap between the cell wall and the protoplasm, which is filled with gelatinous substances. The cell wall and the protoplasm are connected by cytoplasm. Vegetative reproduction is cell division to form 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or even more daughter cells. Asexual reproduction forms gelatinous groups or thick-walled spores when the environment is stressed. Haematococcus pluvialis in the growth and proliferation stage is green. When the environment is When the conditions change to be unfavorable for its growth, such as under the conditions of nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency or strong light energy radiation, the growth of Haematococcus pluvialis cells becomes slow and loses its motile flagella, forming gelatinous groups or thick-walled spores. At the same time, it promotes the accumulation of a large amount of astaxanthin in the cells, causing the color of Haematococcus pluvialis to quickly turn deep red, affecting the physiology, biomass, yield and intracellular astaxanthin content of Haematococcus pluvialis, which mainly involves the quality of the algae species and good cultivation conditions, such as the degree of environmental purification, temperature, dissolved oxygen, algae liquid composition, spectral structure, light energy intensity, light energy area and light energy time.

[0003] By customizing the light spectrum and genetically engineering and modifying existing algae species to obtain excellent strains, improving the volume, light saturation value, resistance to light inhibition, and stress resistance and antibacterial ability of the algae species, it is possible to obtain algae species that are resistant to bacteria, proliferate quickly, and have strong astaxanthin accumulation capabilities. At present, although the expansion of Haematococcus pluvialis has been automated, only one algae liquid can be added at a time, which is inefficient and prone to errors. It is only suitable for small-scale production in the laboratory and cannot maximize the use of space in the factory. Utility Model Content
