The effects of a variety of environmental factors on lipid accumulation of Chlorella minutissima UTEX 2341 under low-nutrition conditions were investigated. The growth of UTEX 2341 reached the exponential phase on the 1st day in low-nutrition medium. And the highest biomass productivity of 3.07 g L(-1) d(-1) was achieved on the 2nd day. The optimum pH and temperature for lipid accumulation were 6 and 20 °C respectively. 43.69 g L(-1) of NaCl and 0.11 mmol L(-1) of Fe(III) resulted in higher lipid content, analyzed by Design-Expert. And then under nitrogen starvation stress, the lipid content reached 22.84%. Meanwhile, the lipid yield was 2.5 g L(-1). The yield coefficient against carbon was 0.36 g g(-1), which was 4.68 times as much as that in OM medium. With the high proportion of C16 and C18 in the lipids, C. minutissima UTEX 2341 was proved to be a potential option for renewable biodiesel production.

Under ultra-high cadmium (Cd) stress, large amounts of glutathione are produced in Auxenochlorella protothecoides UTEX 2341, and the lipid content increases significantly. Glutathione is the best reductant that can effectively remove Cd, but the relationship between lipid accumulation and the cellular response to Cd stress has not been ascertained. Integrating analyses of the transcriptomes and lipidomes, the mechanism of lipid accumulation to Cd tolerance were studied from the perspectives of metabolism, transcriptional regulation and protein glutathionylation.

Algae lipid production combined with heavy metal removal is a cost-effective and environment-friendly method for algae biofuel production and hazardous waste treatment. Chlorella minutissima UTEX 2341 had strong resistance to cadmium, copper, manganese and zinc ions under heterotrophic culture condition and could efficiently remove them through intracellular accumulation and extracellular immobilization. Meanwhile, lipid accumulation was not inhibited by heavy metals.
