  • Efficient Microscale Screening of Various Haematococcus Pluvialis Strains for Growth and Astaxanthin Production
    Efficient microscale screening of various Haematococcus pluvialis strains for growth and astaxanthin production Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Zehra Çebi aus Köln Köln, 2017 Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Michael Melkonian (Gutachter) Prof Dr. Burkhard Becker Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 23.01.2017 3 Zusammenfassung Das Ketocarotenoid Astaxanthin wird in der Natur von einigen Algen, Pflanzen, Pilzen und Bakterien synthetisiert. Hierbei besitzt die Grünalge Haematococcus pluvialis mit bis zu 4% des Trockengewichtes die höchste Kapazität Astaxanthin zu akkumulieren. Kommerziell wird natürliches Astaxanthin aus H. pluvialis als pharmazeutisch-funktionelles Lebensmittel für den Menschen und hauptsächlich als Färbemittel in der Aquakultur verwendet. Aufgrund hoher Produktionskosten von natürlichem Astaxanthin aus H. pluvialis wird der kommerzielle Astaxanthinmarkt von dem synthetischen Analogon dominiert. Da jedoch die Nachfrage für natürliches Astaxanthin stetig steigt, laufen die Bestrebungen zur Verbesserung von Massenkultursystemen für H. pluvialis, insbesondere auf technischer Ebene, auf Hochtouren, um die Produktionskosten zu senken und damit die Konkurrenzfähigkeit von natürlichem Astaxanthin auf dem Carotenoidmarkt zu erhöhen. Der Fokus dieser Doktorarbeit liegt auf der Verbesserung der H. pluvialis Produktivität auf biologischer Ebene, nämlich durch Selektion und genetische Manipulation eines effizienten H. pluvialis Stammes.

  • PCDD/Fs and Dioxin-Like Pcbs in the Tone River, Japan
    LEVELS IN SOIL AND WATER PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in the Tone River, Japan Eiki Watanabe1, Watanabe Eiki1, Eun Heesoo1, Baba Koji1, Sekino Tadashi2, Arao Tomohito1, Endo Shozo1 1National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences, Tsukuba 2Environmental Research Center, Tsukuba Introduction Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have generated wide interest in both scientific and public setting as a result of the pronounced toxicity and persistence of members within these compound classes. PCDD/Fs, especially the isomers with chlorines substituted in 2, 3, 7, and 8 positions are thought to pose a risk to human health due to their high toxicity, carcinogenic potency and potential influences on animal reproductive and immunological systems 1. Environmental pollution by PCDD/Fs has arisen exclusively from human activities, and for example, they are inadvertently produced from various combustion sources and manufacturing processes, such as municipal solid waste incineration 2, steel production processes 3, and chemical production processes 4. In Japan, it is well known that the environmental pollution has close relation to agricultural operation, that is, some PCDD/Fs are contained as impurities in a kind of pesticide 5. Chloronitrophen (CNP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP), which could be contained them as impurities, are typical organochlorine pesticides, and were widely used in Japanese paddy field as herbicides in the past. So, since the use of them could cause the environmental pollution, it is extremely important to understand estimation of their sources, their levels and their behavior in environments. On the other hand, PCBs are also persistent compounds with high thermal stability, chemical stabilities and excellent dielectric properties.

  • Chloroplast Phylogenomic Analysis of Chlorophyte Green Algae Identifies a Novel Lineage Sister to the Sphaeropleales (Chlorophyceae) Claude Lemieux*, Antony T
    Lemieux et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2015) 15:264 DOI 10.1186/s12862-015-0544-5 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Chloroplast phylogenomic analysis of chlorophyte green algae identifies a novel lineage sister to the Sphaeropleales (Chlorophyceae) Claude Lemieux*, Antony T. Vincent, Aurélie Labarre, Christian Otis and Monique Turmel Abstract Background: The class Chlorophyceae (Chlorophyta) includes morphologically and ecologically diverse green algae. Most of the documented species belong to the clade formed by the Chlamydomonadales (also called Volvocales) and Sphaeropleales. Although studies based on the nuclear 18S rRNA gene or a few combined genes have shed light on the diversity and phylogenetic structure of the Chlamydomonadales, the positions of many of the monophyletic groups identified remain uncertain. Here, we used a chloroplast phylogenomic approach to delineate the relationships among these lineages. Results: To generate the analyzed amino acid and nucleotide data sets, we sequenced the chloroplast DNAs (cpDNAs) of 24 chlorophycean taxa; these included representatives from 16 of the 21 primary clades previously recognized in the Chlamydomonadales, two taxa from a coccoid lineage (Jenufa) that was suspected to be sister to the Golenkiniaceae, and two sphaeroplealeans. Using Bayesian and/or maximum likelihood inference methods, we analyzed an amino acid data set that was assembled from 69 cpDNA-encoded proteins of 73 core chlorophyte (including 33 chlorophyceans), as well as two nucleotide data sets that were generated from the 69 genes coding for these proteins and 29 RNA-coding genes. The protein and gene phylogenies were congruent and robustly resolved the branching order of most of the investigated lineages. Within the Chlamydomonadales, 22 taxa formed an assemblage of five major clades/lineages.

  • Chapter 8. Creating and Preserving a Beautiful and Healthy Environment
    Section 1 Promoting Global Warming Countermeasures Creating and Preserving a Beautiful II Chapter 8 Chapter 8 and Healthy Environment Section 1 Promoting Global Warming Countermeasures a Beautiful and Healthy Environment and Preserving Creating 1 Implementing Global Warming Countermeasures At the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) held in 2015, the Paris Agreement was adopted as a new international framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions be- ginning in 2020, with participation by all countries. The agreement went into effect in November 2016, and Japan is a signatory nation. Based on the Paris Agreement, Japan adopted the Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures by a Cabinet decision in May 2016, and has committed to efforts toward the achievement of the mid-term objective to achieve a 26.0% decrease in the FY2013 level of greenhouse gases by FY2030, and as a long-term objective aims to reduce emissions 80% by 2050. The MLIT has committed to a wide array of policy development initiatives for achieving the mid-term objective based on this plan, including making housing and buildings more energy efficient, measures for individual vehicles, and the promotion of low-carbon urban development. In addition, we partially amended our Environmental Action Plan in March 2017, and set out long-term roles for the MLIT in mitigation policies and other environmental policies. In March 2018, the Bill to Partially Amend the Act Concerning the Rational Use of Energy, which includes provisions for certifying energy-saving efforts through the collaboration of multiple transportation operators and allowing corpo- rations to allocate energy-saving credits amongst one another and report regularly, was submitted to the National Diet.

CrBKT is poorly expressed, contains a long C-terminal extension not found in homologues and likely represents a pseudogene in this alga. Here, we used synthetic re-design of this gene to enable its constitutive overexpression from the nuclear genome of C. reinhardtii. Overexpression of the optimized CrBKT extended native carotenoid biosynthesis to generate ketocarotenoids in the algal host causing noticeable changes the green algal colour to a reddish-brown. We found that up to 50% of native carotenoids could be converted into astaxanthin and more than 70% into other ketocarotenoids by robust CrBKT overexpression. Modification of the carotenoid metabolism did not impair growth or biomass productivity of C.
