The invention discloses a technology for degrading
phenol and sequestering carbon by microalgae, and aims to provide a method for improving key
enzyme to promote
euglena to degrade
phenol and enhance
carbon sequestration. Comprising the following steps: performing
phenol concentration gradient domestication on
euglena cells, and adjusting
gene expression quantities of three key enzymes, namely H < + > transport ATP
enzyme,
pyruvate decarboxylase and
isocitrate dehydrogenase in the
euglena cells; carrying out enlarged
culture growth on the euglena domesticated
plant, adding a proper amount of phenol into a culture medium, and continuously introducing gas containing CO2; in the culture process, the
carbon sequestration rate of the euglena is calculated by measuring the carbon element content in the
biomass of the euglena liquid; and after the culture is finished, measuring the content of euglena
polysaccharide in the
algae liquid in
unit volume, and measuring the content of phenol in the
algae liquid to calculate the degradation rate of phenol. According to the method, the euglena cells are domesticated by adopting phenol
concentration gradient, the expression quantity of key
enzyme genes is increased by several times, the
phenol degradation capacity of the euglena cells is enhanced, the
carbon sequestration rate of the euglena cells is increased, and the content of
polysaccharide in the cells can be increased at the same time.
