“…Firstly, alternation of microalgae strains (case 1a); production of PHT during the coldest months (from December to May) in combination with production of TISO during the hottest months (from June to November). This strategy pursues year-round production using two strains with limited productive seasons (Pereira et al, 2021). And secondly, cultivation of a single microalgae strain (case 1b); exclusive production of NAS throughout the year.…”

“…This alternation allows an almost uninterrupted production, otherwise unachievable for these strains. Experimental data on TISO and PHT strains are reported in the study by Pereira et al (Pereira et al, 2021).…”

“…Each module (PBR + gaps+degasser) corresponds to a total ground area of 400 m 2 and a volume of 38 L per m 2 of ground area. These PBRs are the same as in the study by Pereira et al (Pereira et al, 2021), except for the total area. Pereira et al (Norsker et al, 2011) considered an area of 340 m 2 .…”

“…Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll produced by brown macro and microalgae. The production of fucoxanthin from microalgae is considered to be the most cost-effective method due to their higher intracellular contents (2–60 mg g −1 of DW) [ 8 ]. In fact, P. tricornutum biomass contains at least ten times more fucoxanthin per gram of dry weight than brown algae [ 9 ].…”

Bioconversion of Cheese Whey and Food By-Products by Phaeodactylum tricornutum into Fucoxanthin and n-3 Lc-PUFA through a Biorefinery Approach

et al. 2023

This study investigates the potential of utilizing three food wastes: cheese whey (CW), beet molasses (BM), and corn steep liquor (CSL) as alternative nutrient sources for the cultivation of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a promising source of polyunsaturated eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and the carotenoid fucoxanthin. The CW media tested did not significantly impact the growth rate of P. tricornutum; however, CW hydrolysate significantly enhances cell growth. BM in cultivation medium enhances biomass production and fucoxanthin yield. The optimization of the new food waste medium was conducted through the application of a response surface methodology (RSM) using hydrolyzed CW, BM, and CSL as factors. The results showed a significant positive impact of these factors (p < 0.005), with an optimized biomass yield of 2.35 g L−1 and a fucoxanthin yield of 3.64 mg L−1 using a medium composed of 33 mL L−1 of CW, 2.3 g L−1 of BM, and 2.24 g L−1 of CSL. The experimental results reported in this study showed that some food by-products from a biorefinery perspective could be utilized for the efficient production of fucoxanthin and other high-added-value products such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

Enhancement of Metabolite Production in High-Altitude Microalgal Strains by Optimized C/N/P Ratio

et al. 2022

This study evaluated the role of C/N/P in the increase in the synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in two high-mountain strains of algae (Chlorella sp. UFPS019 and Desmodesmus sp. UFPS021). Three carbon sources (sodium acetate, sodium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate), and the sources of nitrogen (NaNO3) and phosphate (KH2PO4 and K2HPO4) were analyzed using a surface response (3 factors, 2 levels). In Chlorella sp. UFPS019, the optimal conditions to enhance the synthesis of carbohydrates were high sodium carbonate content (3.53 g/L), high KH2PO4 and K2HPO4 content (0.06 and 0.14 g/L, respectively), and medium-high NaNO3 (0.1875 g/L). In the case of lipids, a high concentration of sodium acetate (1.19 g/L) coupled with high KH2PO4 and K2HPO4 content (0.056 and 0.131 g/L, respectively) and a low concentration of NaNO3 (0.075 g/L) drastically induced the synthesis of lipids. In the case of Desmodesmus sp. UFPS021, the protein content was increased using high sodium acetate (2 g/L), high KH2PO4 and K2HPO4 content (0.056 and 0.131 g/L, respectively), and high NaNO3 concentration (0.25 g/L). These results demonstrate that the correct adjustment of the C/N/P ratio can enhance the capacity of high-mountain strains of algae to produce high concentrations of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
