Specific embodiment
With reference toAccompanying drawingThe present invention is described in detail, but should not be construed as limiting the invention.
The present invention provide nostoc cultural method, its be by nostoc in Thin cell layer liquid quiescent culture, enable the nostoc directly using Thin cell layer liquid Surface absorption CO2。
Nutrient solution thickness is advisable with being not higher than 20mm, preferably 1.5-10mm, more preferably 2~10mm, can be about 1mm, about 2mm, about 3mm, about about 4mm, 5mm, the scope between 7mm, 10mm or described arbitrary value.Nutrient solution thickness is excessive, and the CO for obtaining is interacted with air by nutrient solution surface2Then it is not enough to support the lasting culture of nostoc, and light energy losses are more, the algae kind below liquid level cannot absorb enough light intensity.In addition, nutrient solution thickness is too small, such as less than 0.3mm, on the one hand because nutrient solution is too thin, some parts for growing the larger fresh nostoc of particle diameter may be by exposed to influence growth outside nutrient solution, and the volatilization of moisture is unfavorable for culture, culture amount is reduced simultaneously, also uneconomical.
Certainly, above is being carried out based on conventional culture conditions.If by improving CO2The measures such as concentration, improvement illumination condition, the thickness of nutrient solution can increased.
Because the thickness of culture medium in the method for the present invention is sufficiently small so that nostoc cell can directly obtain photosynthesis from the liquid level of nutrient solution by gas exchanges required for CO2Photosynthesis of being rivals in a contest side by side produces the O for suppressing2, therefore aeration need not be carried out to nutrient solution.Furthermore, it is not necessary that the operation that homogenizes such as stirring mixing, remains able to ensure that the nostoc cell in nutrient solution more can equably obtain illumination.
Frond is harvested and drying is the important step of algae culture, and its energy consumption is big, and efficiency is low.However, the method according to the invention, using thin layer fluid nutrient medium static culture nostoc, when algae grows to maturation (typically about 8-12 days), culture medium is usually dissipated major part.Now, dry cell weight has been reached compared with ratios, is very beneficial for frond and is harvested, dries.In nutrient solution thickness range of the invention (1mm-10mm), the thickness of culture medium can be adjusted according to factors such as nostoc inoculum concentration, light intensity, humidity and temperature so that the amount of culture medium is available for algae to grow into the maturity period without having excessive having more than needed just.Further, since frond is constantly in Thin cell layer liquid, bacterium of mildewing is less susceptible to.
In some embodiments, the temperature for being used in the nostoc cultural method is 20-28 DEG C.In some embodiments, the light intensity for being used in the nostoc culture is 2-526 μm of olm-2·s-1.In some embodiments, the culture medium for being used in the nostoc culture is the BG11 fluid nutrient mediums without nitrogen.In some embodiments, the ambient humidity range in the nostoc culture is 80-99%.In some embodiments, in the nostoc culture, nostoc inoculum concentration can be 0.1-0.9g/L.
Nostoc cultural method of the invention by the way of thin layer static culture, its essence is the one kind between immersion method and semidry methodIt is newNostoc cultural method, as described above, having saving energy consumption, reduces toxigenic capacity, reduces mould, can effectively control the advantage of other enemy plankton explosion type pollution risks.
A kind of stacked nostoc Thin cell layer device for being adapted to above-mentioned nostoc quiescent culture that the present invention is provided, its culture plate for including multiple stacked distributions, the culture plate includes base plate and around base plate and the closely coupled cofferdam of base plate, the lowest part in the cofferdam is highly 1mm-20mm, and a preset distance is spaced between neighbouring two culture plate.
Due to using Thin cell layer, therefore the weight that culture plate is born is relatively low, therefore can be more frivolous, such that it is able to improve the transparency of culture plate, is conducive to penetrating for light.Also, due to there is gap between each layer culture plate, cofferdam is also transparent material, therefore light can laterally approach into above culture plate and bottom surface so that the nostoc light wherein cultivated is more fully and uniform, substantially increases the utilization ratio of light source.
The length of the culture plate for example can be 10cm-10m, and width for example can be 5cm-1m.Thickness can be 0.5mm~2.0mm, and according to the difference of material, thickness can be adjusted.It is each to cultivate in the vertical direction arranged stacked for no reason, maximize effective culture area of structure assembly, unit floor space.
The cofferdam can be perpendicular to base plate, or with base plate into a certain degree of inclination angle.For example, for the ease of harvesting nostoc, can be by least side or a part of cofferdam and the inclination angle (i.e. cofferdam inclines laterally) that base plate is in more than 90 °, such as in 135 ° of angles.Additionally, cofferdam and base plate binding site can be fillets, can so prevent from forming results dead angle or cleaning dead angle.
The height in cofferdam can be with identical, it is also possible to different.The distance that cofferdam is higher by base plate can be 1-20mm, preferably 2mm~10mm, can be about 1mm, about 2mm, about 3mm, about about 4mm, 5mm, the scope between 7mm, 10mm, or the arbitrary value.
Cofferdam and base plate can be fabricated separately be re-incorporated into together with or be integrally formed.These can make appropriate adjustment according to preparation difficulty and cost factor.
The base plate and bank material for forming culture plate can be glass or light transmittance plastics high, such as GPPS, transparent ABS, AS (styrene-acrylonitrile), PVC, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PC (polycarbonate), PS (polystyrene) etc..Cofferdam can be the same or different with the material of base plate, for example, can use other transparent materials, such as adhesive tape, glass cement.
Spacing between each culture plate requires to determine according to light source arrangement, the culture of nostoc and results.For example, can be 5mm-30mm.
There is support member between neighbouring two culture plate, support member makes to form described preset distance between neighbouring culture plate.The support member can be connected with the cofferdam of neighbouring two culture plate or base plate respectively.Support member can be a set of fixed support system, such as support frame or support column etc., culture plate be connected into culture plate matrix, or culture plate is connected into culture plate matrix using suspension system.For example the support member is support column in certain embodiments of the present invention.In further embodiments, support member is not used, but uses a kind of support with several grids, the culture plate that these several plate glass are made is respectively rested on these supports, a determining deviation is kept between each culture plate.The support configuration has leveling system, can smoothly stand in ground, and each grid also is provided with leveling structure, can offset and miss because of the unhorizontal problem in the poor culture plate surface for causing.
The culture plate can be integrally formed with the support member, it is also possible to recombinant is manufactured separately to together.For example, support member is support column, support member can be fixedly mounted on the bottom of corresponding culture plate, or integrally formed mode, form the unit comprising culture plate and support member, the culture apparatus of recomposition stacking.
Additionally, the culture apparatus may also include the culture plate being laminated described in some rows, culture array is formed, so as to realize large-scale culture.
In addition, nostoc culture apparatus of the present invention can also further include nutrient solution instillation system, pipeline including instillation head, culture liquid case, connection instillation head and culture liquid case, the control circuit that control instillation is turned on and off, sensor of nutrient solution liquid level etc. in sensing culture plate, liquid level signal is sent to control circuit by sensor, and control circuit controls being turned on and off for instillation system according to liquid level signal.Certainly, the instillation system typically can not be used by the culture thickness and related condition of culture of initial setting up of the present invention.
When using nostoc culture apparatus culture nostoc of the present invention, the culture apparatus can be placed in the greenhouse with humidity control system, humidity control system and illumination system, temperature, humidity and illumination condition of relative constancy etc. are provided by greenhouse, the too fast volatilization of culture medium is avoided, nostoc is in suitable growing environment all the time.
Because the present invention is a kind of thin layer, static state, the training method of high density stacking between traditional immersion and half dry type, wherein the thickness of culture medium can according to the type of the algae of culture and life habit and environmental factor etc., based on experience value, calculated in advance and estimate, ambient humidity can manual control, make when nostoc culture is reached and harvested, dry cell weight proportion has been in of a relatively high scope, is harvested to the later stage and saves energy consumption.And algae even in very thin nutrient solution, is less susceptible to bacterium of mildewing, it is also possible to by enemy Environmental capacity in subrange in culture apparatus of the invention.
It is assumed that its thickness of each flat layer is 1.5mm, and the height of support column about 5~20mm, liquid thickness is 2.5mm;45~153 layers can be so stacked under 1M height spaces, if cultivating nostoc in each layer of cofferdam of flat board, the biomass that can be cultivated in 1m altitude ranges is considerable, and dry cell weight 1608g/m is can reach through experimental calculation3, illuminating area productivity ratio is up to 10.7gm-2·d-1(dry), the energy consumption about 560kJ/g of the nostoc of unit mass.
The stacked nostoc Thin cell layer device of embodiment 1
Such as Figure 1It is shown, the culture plate 1 of the culture apparatus including multiple stacked distributions in this example, culture plate 1 (Figure 2) including base plate 11 and around base plate 11 and the closely coupled cofferdam 12 of base plate 11, cofferdam 12 is higher than the about 1-20mm of base plate 11, and base plate 11 forms the culture space of nostoc with cofferdam 12, a preset distance is spaced between neighbouring two culture plate 1.
There is support member 2 between neighbouring two culture plate 1, support member 2 makes to form described preset distance between neighbouring culture plate 1.Support member 2 is support column in this example.Upper and lower two adjacent culture plate 1 is supported by multiple support columns, and the base plate 11 of the top of each support column with bottom respectively with two culture plates 1 connects.
The shape of support column, material, quantity, spacing and arrangement can not be limited, and only need support column to have some strength, and the nutrient solution in the culture plate of stacked on top and culture plate is supported on enough.Support column uses transparent material, such as glass, acrylic, PC materials.Support column can have any suitable shape, including but not limited to cylinder, tubular, square, strip etc..
Such as Figure 3It is shown, there is light source 3 in the side of the culture apparatus, different from the upside or top that general light source is arranged at culture systems, the light source 3 in this example is provided in the side of culture apparatus, vertical with culture plate 1.
Because the present invention uses Thin cell layer, therefore the weight that culture plate is born is relatively low, therefore can be more frivolous, such that it is able to improve the transparency of culture plate, is conducive to passing through for light.Also, due to there is gap between each layer culture plate, cofferdam is also transparent material, therefore light can laterally approach into above culture plate and bottom surface so that the nostoc light wherein cultivated is more fully and uniform, substantially increases the utilization ratio of light source.
The nostoc thin layer quiescent culture of embodiment 2 and the comparing with traditional training method
In order to show the Advantageous Effects of cultural method of the invention and culture apparatus, investigated with " unit area light source yield " " power consumption of unit mass algae powder " " cost " " flat light source area water consumption " four factors directly related with industrialization benefit below, and to be verified.
Experimental group:
Such as Figure 4AShown, using Thin cell layer device and training method described in embodiment 1, left side is that length is 1m, is highly the light source 3 of 1m, 274.6 μm of olm of light intensity-2·s-1.Right side is culture plate array, and culture plate is glass material, and specification is 120mm*60mm, and thickness of glass is 1.5mm.The height in cofferdam is 2.5mm (nutrient solution is thick).The open ended algae solution amount of each culture plate is 18ml (120mm*60mm*2.5mm).Support column height is 10mm.1m is laminated in vertical direction.Environment temperature controls 25 degree or so, relative humidity 80%-99%.Nutrient solution is that the BG11 fluid nutrient medium initial inoculations dry weight without nitrogen is 0.3g/L.Whole environment is tested in the case of a completely obscured natural light, excludes the interference of natural light.
At the beginning of culture, detected through light-intensity test instrument, drain into the 7th row near lamp source the 1st, the light intensity of media surface isFigure 5.FromFigure 5Local light intensity as can be seen that due to having support column between the flat board that is laminated, between layers in the presence of a large amount of tiny spacing, light can always be turned right by the gap of interlayer and is continuously passed on and more remote is weaker.(Under FigureIt is successively from left to right the 7th row, the light intensity value of the row's media surface of the 6th row ... the 1st)
And it is observed that the sheet glass of the 1st row is because close to light source, preferably, poorer further away from light source lamp plate upgrowth situation, the growing state of the 7th and 6 rows is worst for upgrowth situation.Treat that culture is harvested for 11 days afterwards, during results, carry out statistics algae biology total amount, growing state respectively according to different rowsAs schemed 5ColumnFigure.Can therefrom see, although the algae dry weight of the 6th and 7 rows is smaller, because light can be reached at this, therefore nostoc at this can still obtain light source and grow.(On FigureIt is successively from left to right the 7th row, the biomass (ordinate) of the row of the 6th row ... the 1st collection)
The algae that all flat layers in above-mentioned model are harvested is total together, and total amount is 145.2g.Nutrient solution cumulative volume V=(1000/100) × 7 × 18ml × (1000/11.5)=90.3L, then it is 1.608g/L to calculate the average algae dry weight density for harvesting.
Control group 1:
Using in goldfish jar culturing room culture (Figure 4C) indoor culture.Condition of culture is as follows:Culture light intensity is 120-250 μm of olm-2·s-1, cultivation temperature is 25 DEG C, and gas is passed through with air pump, and throughput is 0.1-1L/min, and inoculum density is 0.1g/L (dry weight).
Control group 2:
Using goldfish jar (Figure 4C) cultivated in outdoor.Condition of culture is as follows:Cultivation temperature is outdoor environment temperature, and culture light intensity is natural light, and gas is passed through with air pump, and throughput is 0.1-1L/min, and inoculum density is 0.02g/L (dry weight).
Control group 3:
Using open raceway pond outside scenery (Figure 4B).Condition of culture is as follows:Cultivation temperature is outdoor environment temperature, and culture light intensity is natural light, and the mixer electric stirring of 0.75KW, inoculum density is 0.05-0.13g/L (dry weight).
For raceway pond, its culture liquid level is higher, and light is decayed in water and is exceedingly fast, so cause light to be difficult to be penetrated into the bottom of raceway pond, and goes to pond and to continue on mixing pump agitation cycle.
Energy consumption is similarly needed to drive agitating device for glass jar, while 1 ㎡ intensity is 274.6 μm of olm-2·s-1The light sent on the right side of light source is only capable of the growth for nostoc in a goldfish jar【In the case of natural light is not considered】, then the goldfish jar of arrangement of turning right cannot obtain efficient light sources, therefore utilization rate of both reactors to luminous energy is relatively low.I.e. whole environment is tested in the case of a completely obscured natural light, excludes natural light interference.The light source of 1 ㎡ irradiates a side of traditional plate container type reactor, plate container side is 1 ㎡, width is 20cm, light acutely weakens (determine optical energy loss rate and reach more than 95%) through the light intensity after 20cm algae solutions, luminous intensity for algae normal growth, cannot cause the light source of 1 ㎡ to be only capable of direct irradiation to come nearest first row goldfish jar culture vessel.(Such as Figure 4C)。
Result of the test and conclusion:
According to above-mentioned experimental group and the model of control group, it (is 274.6 μm of olm with 1 ㎡ intensity that thin layer of the invention, high density are laminated culture apparatus and are compared as follows with traditional plate container-2·s-1Light source is references object):
Thin cell layer method of the present invention, at aspects such as unit area light source yield, energy consumption cost and water consumption, is significantly better than traditional training method as known from the above.
Further, since cultural method of the present invention and device are to cultivate in a static manner, period need not supply high pressure CO2Realize that air-flotation type is stirred, the energy consumption equipment such as homogenized without circulating pump, agitating paddle etc., and the algae that the inventive method is harvested be in half wet condition, reduces the energy consumption of concentration after harvesting.
Additionally, being 0.1g/L, 0.3g/L, 0.6g/L in inoculum density according to the training method and condition of experimental group, unit area light source yield of the present invention is respectively 6.8gm during 0.9g/L-2·d-1, 10.7gm-2·d-1, 8.05gm-2·d-1、8.3g·m-2·d-1.By result understand inoculum density 0.3g/L when unit area light source yield highest, but the still more traditional plate container of the yield of the unit area of other inoculum densities is much higher.Thus the result that obtains at present is inoculum density when being 0.1-0.9g/L, and the utilization ratio of energy consumption is higher.
In addition, if according to the training method and condition of experimental group, inoculum density 0.3g/L, when nutrient solution thickness is respectively 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, 7mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, the unit area light source yield of the present invention when interlamellar spacing is 25mm is respectively 4.47gm-2·d-1、4.86g·m-2·d-1、5.21g·m-2·d-1、7.79g·m-2·d-1、9.60g·m-2·d-1、8.33g·m-2·d-1、5.85g·m-2·d-1、5.09g·m-2·d-1、3.87g·m-2·d-1;When wherein the thickness of nutrient solution is 2mm to 10mm, nostoc is higher to the utilization ratio of light.
