Biomolecular transitions and lipid accumulation in green microalgae monitored by FTIR and Raman analysis
Open accessAbstract
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopic techniques were employed to analyze the biomolecular transitions and lipid accumulation in three freshwater green microalgal species, Monoraphidium contortum (M. contortum), Pseudomuriella sp. and Chlamydomonas sp. during various phases of their growth. Biomolecular transitions and lipid [hydrocarbons, triacylglycerides (TAGs)] accumulation within the microalgal cells were identified using second derivatives of the FTIR absorption spectroscopy. Second derivative analysis normalized and resolved the original spectra and led to the identification of smaller, overlapping bands. Both relative and absolute content of lipids were determined using the integrated band area. M. contortum exhibited higher accumulation of lipids than the other two species. The integrated band area of the vibrations from saturated (SFA) and unsaturated lipids (UFA) enabled quantification of fatty acids. The percentage of SFA and UFA was determined using GC, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. From the spectral data, the order of increasing concentration of SFA among the three microalgal species was M. contortum > Chlamydomonas sp. >Pseudomuriella sp. The spectral results on fatty acids were consistent with the separation of lipids by gas chromatography. The results emphasized the significance of FTIR and Raman spectroscopic methods in monitoring the biomolecular transitions and rapid quantification of lipids, without the need for extraction of lipids.

TL;DR
FTIR and Raman spectroscopy with second-derivative analysis tracked biomolecular transitions and lipid accumulation in three freshwater green microalgae across growth phases, with *M. contortum* accumulating the most lipids/TAGs. Spectral SFA estimates were consistent with GC separation, supporting rapid, extraction-free lipid quantification.
Key findings
- *M. contortum* showed higher lipid accumulation (hydrocarbons and TAGs) than *Pseudomuriella* sp. and *Chlamydomonas* sp.; its absolute content increased nearly 6-fold for hydrocarbons (0.7 to 3.9) and 13-fold for TAGs (0.2 to 2.6).
- Relative TAGs:Amide I ratio rose from ~0.5 to 4.3 for *M. contortum* and 3.8 for *Chlamydomonas* sp., a seven- to eight-fold increase during the declining phase compared with *Pseudomuriella* sp.; relative hydrocarbon content increased 2–3 fold by day 40 for all three species.
- SFA order by FTIR/Raman was *M. contortum* > *Chlamydomonas* sp. > *Pseudomuriella* sp.; FTIR SFA percentages were 93, 83, and 74, and Raman SFA percentages were 80, 75, and 71, respectively. GC showed maximum SFA for *Chlamydomonas* sp., but total SFA+MUFA was high for *M. contortum*; spectral results were consistent with GC separation.
Methods
- Three freshwater green microalgal isolates were cultured in modified BG11, 300 mL, in triplicates at 27 µmol m−2 s−1, 25±2°C, and 12:12 h light/dark; cells were harvested on days 10, 20, 30, and 40 and freeze-dried.
- FTIR used KBr pellets (1:100), a Thermo Nicolet 380 spectrometer, 32 scans, 4 cm−1 resolution, 4000–500 cm−1, DTGS detector, yielding 9 spectra per species per phase (108 total). Raman used a Modular 1064 Raman system, 1064 nm laser at 149 mW, 200–3200 cm−1, 10–15 cm−1 resolution, 5 s/10 scans, InGaAs detector (36 spectra total).
- Spectra were smoothed (Savitzky–Golay), second derivatives were obtained, and integrated band areas were used. Relative lipids were normalized to amide I; absolute lipids were normalized to a zero-intensity spectral region. GC-FID after modified Bligh–Dyer extraction and FAME preparation validated fatty acid percentages.
Limitations
- No explicit limitations section; the paper does not state limitations.
- Evident from the text: only three freshwater green microalgal species and one cultivation/growth series were examined; Raman fatty acid quantification and the GC/FTIR/Raman comparison were recorded on day 30 (stationary phase), so broader species or condition generalization is not tested.
- Evident from the text: relative lipid content depends on amide I normalization, which the authors note changes with growth phase; they address this for absolute content by normalizing to a zero-intensity spectral region.

Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
GC and spectral analyses identify different species with the most saturated fatty acids
MajorGC identifies Chlamydomonas sp. as having the most saturated fatty acids, whereas the stated spectral ranking places M. contortum first. This contradicts the paper's conclusion that the methods give consistent results for saturated fatty acids.
“The results of GC analysis for the three microalgal species on their 30 th day of growth (Fig. 10a) showed maximum SFA for Chlamydomonas sp.”
“The spectral results on the fatty acids showed an increasing concentration of SFA in the microalgal species in the order, M. contortum > Chlamydomonas sp.> Pseudomuriella sp.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
