34 results about "Photoinhibition" patented technology

Photoinhibition is light-induced reduction in the photosynthetic capacity of a plant, alga, or cyanobacterium. Photosystem II (PSII) is more sensitive to light than the rest of the photosynthetic machinery, and most researchers define the term as light-induced damage to PSII. In living organisms, photoinhibited PSII centres are continuously repaired via degradation and synthesis of the D1 protein of the photosynthetic reaction center of PSII. Photoinhibition is also used in a wider sense, as dynamic photoinhibition, to describe all reactions that decrease the efficiency of photosynthesis when plants are exposed to light.

The invention relates to a new method for avoiding microalgae photoinhibition and improving astaxanthin yield in the culture process of microalgae. In general, a two-stage method is adopted to cultivate the microalgae to produce astaxanthin, wherein on the first stage, massive reproduction of cells and accumulation of biomass are achieved in a heterotrophic, autotrophic or mixotrophic culture mode, and on the second stage, accumulation of the astaxanthin in the cells are achieved in methods, such as light stress assisted with nutrition stress. However, when the microalgae is transformed from the firsts stage to the second stage, phenomenons, such as light stress usually occur, and accordingly the astaxanthin yield is seriously influenced. Therefore, multiple methods are adopted to control culture conditions in a transformation process, such as medium components controlling, sunshading, weak light transition, initial inoculated density improving, gradual dilution and outdoor inoculated time adjusting so that cell conditions can be adjusted and the cells can improve the ability to resist a strong light; therefore, thelight stress problem of the microalgae under the strong light is solved completely, the efficiency of the microalgae for producing the astaxanthin is improved greatly, and low cost, high efficiency and large-scale cultivation of the microalgae for producing the astaxanthin are achieved.

A method to avoid photoinhibition of microalgae to improve astaxanthin production

The present invention relates to a new method for avoiding photoinhibition to improve astaxanthin production during microalgae cultivation. The cultivation of microalgae to produce astaxanthin usually adopts a two-stage method. The first stage realizes the mass reproduction of cells and the accumulation of biomass through heterotrophic, autotrophic or polytrophic methods, and the second stage adopts light stress supplemented by nutrient stress and other methods. Accumulation of intracellular astaxanthin is achieved. However, from the first stage to the second stage, the phenomenon of photoinhibition often occurs, which seriously affects the yield of astaxanthin. Therefore, the present invention regulates the cell state by controlling the culture conditions in the transformation process, such as: controlling the composition of the medium, shading, transition to low light, increasing the initial seeding density, gradually diluting, adjusting the outdoor seeding time, etc. Therefore, it fully overcomes the problem of photoinhibition of microalgae under strong light, which can greatly improve the efficiency of microalgae production of astaxanthin, and realize low-cost, high-efficiency and large-scale cultivation of microalgae to produce astaxanthin.
