Abstract

This study sought to evaluate influence of nitrogen availability on cell growth, biomass composition, production, and the properties of polyhydroxyalkanoates during cultivation of microalgae Chlorella minutissima, Synechococcus subsalsus, and Spirulina sp. LEB-18. The cellular growth of microalgae reduced with the use of limited nitrogen medium, demonstrating that nitrogen deficiency interferes with the metabolism of microorganisms and the production of biomass. The biochemical composition of microalgae was also altered, which was most notable in the degradation of proteins and chlorophylls and the accumulation of carbonaceous storage molecules such as lipids and polyhydroxyalkanoates. Chlorella minutissima did not produce these polymers even in a nitrogen deficient environment. The largest accumulations of the polyhydroxyalkanoates occurred after a 15 days culture, with a concentration of 16% (dry cell weight) produced by the Synechococcus subsalsus strain and 12% by Spirulina sp. LEB-18. Polyhydroxyalkanoates produced by Synechococcus subsalsus and Spirulina sp. LEB-18 presented different thermal and physical properties, indicating the influence of producing strain on polyhydroxyalkanoates properties. The polymers obtained consisted of long chain monomers with 14 to 18 carbon atoms. This composition is novel, as it has not previously been found in PHAs obtained from Synechococcus subsalsus and Spirulina sp. LEB-18.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
