Diatom containing different active biological macromolecules are thought to be an excellent microbial cell factory. Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a model diatom, is a superb chassis organism accumulating chrysolaminarin with important bioactivities. However, the characteristic of chrysolaminarin accumulation and molecular mechanism of the fluctuated chrysolaminarin in diatom are still unknown. In this study, physiological data and transcriptomic analysis were carried out to clarify the mechanism involved in chrysolaminarin fluctuation. The results showed that chrysolaminarin content fluctuated, from 7.41 % dry weight (DW) to 40.01 % DW during one light/dark cycle, increase by day and decrease by night. The similar fluctuated characteristic was also observed in neutral lipid content. Genes related to the biosynthesis of chrysolaminarin and neutral lipid were up-regulated at the beginning of light-phase, explaining the accumulation of these biological macromolecules. Furthermore, genes involved in carbohydrate degradation, cell cycle, DNA replication and mitochondria-localized β-oxidation were up-regulated at the end of light phase and at the beginning of dark phase hinting an energy transition of carbohydrate to cell division during the dark period. Totally, our findings provide important information for the regulatory mechanism in the diurnal fluctuation of chrysolaminarin. It would also be of great help for the mass production of economical chrysolaminarin in marine diatom.

Liquid byproducts and organic wastes generated from dairy processing units contribute as the largest source of industrial food wastewater. Though bacteria-mediated treatment strategies are largely implemented, a more effective and innovative management system is needed of the hour. Thus, the current study involves the cultivation of centric diatoms, Chaetoceros gracilis, and Thalassiosira weissflogii in simulated dairy wastewater (SDWW) formulated using varying amounts of milk powder with artificial seawater f/2 media (ASW).

Influence of light conditions on the production of chrysolaminarin using Phaeodactylum tricornutum in artificially illuminated photobioreactors.

The light conditions are of utmost importance in any microalgae production process especially involving artificial illumination. This also applies to a chrysolaminarin (soluble 1,3-β-glucan) production process using the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Here we examine the influence of the amount of light per gram biomass (specific light availability) and the influence of two different biomass densities (at the same amount of light per gram biomass) on the accumulation of the storage product chrysolaminarin during nitrogen depletion in artificially illuminated flat-panel airlift photobioreactors.

To use unicellular microalgae to remove waste nutrients from brewery wastewater while converting them into algal biomass has been explored but high-cost treatment and low-value biomass associated with current technologies have prevented this concept from further attempts. In this study, a filamentous microalga Tribonema aequale was introduced and the alga can grow vigorously in brewery wastewater and algal biomass concentration could be as high as 6.45 g L which can be harvested by a cost-effective filtration method.
