The combination of the high-pressure homogenization (HPH) with an Food & Biobased Center alkaline pH adjustment of the microalgae suspension was tried in order to increase the protein release. Although the pH adjustment (FBR), from 02/2017 until increased the permeability of intact cells, the results in combination with the homogenization were not satisfactory. The centrifugation 08/2017, under the supervision of Dr. Carl parameters were optimized, leading to concentration ratios in the supernatant of 42.2% and 62.4%/initial concentration for N. gaditana Safi and Dr. Ana and N. oleoabundans and yields of 31.0% and 49.4%(w/w initial protein) for the respective species. The flocculation of the cell debris by Azevedo. pH variations was studied to improve the centrifugations. More supernatant was recovered at acidic pH, but many proteins also precipitated at these pH values, and so the yields after centrifugation were lower than at native pH for both species.

Abstract The exhaustion of fossil fuels and climate change are two significant issues of our times. Microalgae are eukaryotic phototrophs or prokaryotic cyanobacteria (blue green algae), which are able to capture CO2, and thus, can mitigate these challenges. In addition, some microalgae can produce lipids suitable for biodiesel. The potential application of microalgae biomass for biofuel production is a clean and sustainable approach to replace fossil fuels. An important consideration for reducing the cost of biofuel is the economical production of algal biomass with high lipid yields. In this study, the marine microalgae Nannochloropsis gaditana were investigated for biomass and lipid production using two wastewater streams, i.e., road salt run-off and vegetable greenhouse industry effluents as the growth media using batch or fed-batch cultivation.

Simple Summary: Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms with high biotechnological po- tential. However, the sustainable production of high-value products such as lipids, proteins, carbo- hydrates, and pigments undergoes important economic challenges. In this review, we describe the mutualistic association between microalgae and bacteria and the positive effects of artificial consortia on microalgal metabolites’ production. We highlighted the potential role of growth-promoting bacte- ria in optimizing microalgal biorefineries for the integrated production of these valuable products. Besides making a significant enhancement to microalgal metabolite production, the bacterium partner might assist in the biorefinery process’s key stages, such as biomass harvesting and CO2 fixation.

    DEVELOPMENT OF CRISPR/CAS9 IN NANNOCHLOROPSIS AND OTHER ALGAE TOWARD UNDERSTANDING AND MANIPULATING ENERGY ALLOCATION by Brian Vogler A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Applied Chemistry). Golden, Colorado Date _______________________ Signed: ___________________________ Brian W. Vogler Signed: ___________________________ Dr. Matthew C. Posewitz Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _______________________ Signed: ___________________________ Dr. Thomas Gennett Department Head Department of Chemistry ii ABSTRACT Nannochloropsis is a genus of eukaryotic microalgae that grows well in outdoor bioreactors and produces high yields of triacylglycerols (TAGs), which can be processed into biodiesel. In this work, we chemically characterize the storage carbohydrate of Nannochloropsis for the first time, and interrupt enzymes required for its biosynthesis to (1) understand their function and (2) interrogate whether this unused biomass component can be eliminated without significant impact on viability. To generate targeted gene knockouts, we developed CRISPR/Cas9 methods for Nannochloropsis and first interrupted nitrate reductase, a common target for genetic knockout because it is both inessential and easily scored. The method and validated chassis strain was then used to interrogate the beta-glucan synthase (BGS) and transglycosylase (TGS) enzymes believed to be responsible for the backbone polymerization and branching of the storage beta glucan, respectively. We identified no significant growth defects in our laboratory culturing conditions but did confirm that both genes were fundamental to synthesis of this beta glucan storage carbohydrate. The generated knockouts of either gene do not produce the elevated carbohydrate phenotype of wild-type cells in response to nitrogen deprivation.

Abstract: In this study, we examined the effect of salinity and alkalinity on the metabolic potential and taxonomic composition of microbiota inhabiting the sodic soils in different plant communities. The soil samples were collected in the Pannonian steppe (Hungary, Central Europe) under extreme dry and wet weather conditions. The metabolic profiles of microorganisms were analyzed using the MicroResp method, the bacterial diversity was assessed by cultivation and next-generation amplicon sequencing based on the 16S rRNA gene. Catabolic profiles of microbial communities varied primarily according to the alkali vegetation types.
