“…braunii is thus a complex biological model, with high variability of physiological behaviors [9] that needs to be taken into account for the optimization of its cultivation [10]. Growing conditions could be optimized for B. braunii, as already done for other microalgae models, using medium-and high-throughput cultivation screening approach (MTCS) through response surface methodology [11][12][13]. Nevertheless, it still makes strains characterization laborious, particularly for the study of their biofuel potential.…”

00001 ăWOS:000388058100012International audienceAn integrated screening approach was developed to assess the potential of the Botryococcus genus for the production of lipids for biofuel application (hydrocarbons and triacylglycerols). The strategy developed in this study permitted to rigorously measure mandatory parameters for the determination of strain performance - i.e. growth rate and oil content. For that purpose, mini-photobioreactors run in parallel were used together with an exhaustive lipid class analysis. The quantitative productivity measurements indicated that the ten screened strains presented very different patterns in the conditions of PBR culture, firstly run in batch, and secondly in continuous mode. Indeed, with the applied setup, only four strains presented biomass productivities close to that previously measured for the reference strain 807/1 (between 74 and 307 mg L-1 day(-1) of biomass for the tested strains). HC productivity obtained under continuous light (similar to 14 mg L-1 day(-1)) was close to that measured for the strain 807/1 (similar to 20 mg L-1 day(-1)), confirming B. braunii tested strains potential for biofuel application. The analysis of the lipid chemodiversity revealed moreover that this genus should be further investigated for its polar lipids, as it suggests potential pharmaceutical applications such as production of antitumorals or immunosuppressors.

“…However, a majority of the microalgae species used ammonium as the source of nitrogen because it is in a reduced form that is ready to be taken up by the algae cells. In contrast, nitrate assimilation requires energy for the reduction process (NADH usage and active transport via NO 3-) [19], [27]. The concentration of silicon in M2 (0.236 mM) is lower than in M1 (0.472 mM).…”

“…Via Automated Nutrient Screening System The automated nutrient screening [20] was designed to define strain specific media with non-limiting nutrients which can also minimise costs and to increase the productivity of the microalgae. The nutrient screening was operated using a screen matrix comprising of 183 microwells with different concentration of nutrients in each well (180 media solution and 3 replicates of TP control medium) [19]. The cultivation of the microalgae in the automated nutrient screening system was conducted under photoautotrophic condition.…”

“…Therefore, the optimisation of nutrient in media is necessary to identify the best growth condition for microalgae. The high-throughput nutrient optimisation screen was used in this study where a large multi-dimensional statistical space matrix was used to identify improved production in terms of Ca, Mg, B, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Se, V and Si [19]. The objective of this study was to optimisation the nutrients that required by Neochloris oleoabundans in order to obtain high biomass density.…”

Microalgal biomass has been regarded as one of the most promising commodities for biofuels production, fertilisers, animal food and high-value products. The capacity to generate high microalgal biomass is hence crucial to increase the number of the product that can be derived microalgal biomass. Recently, an advanced high-throughput nutrient screen was used to optimise the nutrient formulation to maximise the growth of Neochloris oleoabundans under photoautotrophic condition. The screen was designed to optimise 10 nutrients via the Box-Behnken experimental design that established a screen comprising 180 media formulations matrix for microalgae cultivation (150 µL microplate-based miniature-scale cultivation system). Improved cultivation media were formulated for N. oleoabundans via the nutrient screening system. Medium formulation no. 51 and 76 (from the 180 media formulation) yielded the highest end-point OD 560 of 1.319 ±0. 009 and 1.345 ±0. 023 respectively and both formulations were redesignated as medium M1 and M2 respectively for subsequent experiments. Reproducibility assessment of both media (1 L larger scale experiments) was in concordance with miniature scale data. Nutrient main effect statistical analysis suggested that modulation of Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn and Zn concentrations may further improve the N. oleoabundans growth performance.
