Description

Feedback control-based regulation method for microalgae nitrogen nutrition stress culture process
Technical Field
The invention relates to a technology for regulating mild microalgae nutrition stress based on feedback control, in particular to a technology for regulating mild microalgae nutrition stress by using a microalgae chlorophyll fluorescence parameter (F)v/FmOr Δ F/Fm') real-time characterization of nitrogen stress degree of microalgae cells, feedback guidance of addition of nutrient elements in the culture process, and control of microalgae in proper stress state.
Background
Microalgae have the advantages of high photosynthetic efficiency, no land competition with agriculture and the like, and are highly valued in strategic research of renewable biomass energy sources at home and abroad.Under the condition of sufficient nutrition, microalgae can fix CO by cells2And the absorbed nutrient substances are mainly used for the growth and the propagation of the cells. When the cells are stressed (such as nutritional stress, environmental stress, etc.), the microalgae can fix energy and CO through photosynthesis2The flow direction is changed, wherein nitrogen stress is the most common stress means for microalgae culture at present. For oil-producing microalgae, under nitrogen stress conditions, microalgae cells cannot grow and divide normally, and redundant reducing power in the cells is used for oil synthesis. Therefore, cell growth and lipid accumulation are contradictory, and the highest lipid yield stage in the microalgae culture process is an unsteady state process. Therefore, it is necessary to control the stress level to which the cells are subjected during the culture process so that it is in an appropriate range. Within the stress range, the photosynthetic efficiency of the cells can be maintained at a certain level for the growth of the cells, and the cells can be stimulated to accumulate enough grease, so that the cells are maintained at the highest grease yield stage. Because the global change of cells caused by nutrition stress (such as nitrogen stress) of microalgae is extremely complex and the oil accumulation mechanism is not clear, the feasibility of establishing an oil-producing microalgae high-efficiency culture process guided by the oil accumulation mechanism theory is low, the current continuous high-efficiency controllable culture technology of oil-producing microalgae is not broken through, the development of the microalgae industry is limited, and the method becomes one of the hotspots and difficulties of microalgae research.
Currently, nitrogen supplementation is the most commonly used method for controlling the degree of cellular stress (AREMU A O et al. journal of physiology, 2015,51(4): 659-; in addition, there are studies using the cell N/C value to achieve control of the degree of stress (BONNEFOND H et al Biotechnology for Biofuels,2017,10(1): 25). However, due to technical limitations, real-time online monitoring of intracellular nitrogen content in the culture process cannot be realized, so that the accurate control of the nitrogen stress degree of cells in the culture process is limited. Patent CN10437475813 of Wangqiang et al uses Fv/FmThe relation with the oil content of the oil-producing microalgae under nitrogen stress guides the culture and harvest time. However, the technology can not realize the control of the nitrogen stress degree of the microalgae cells in the culture process, guide the supplement of nitrogen nutrient elements in the culture process and limit the supplement of the nitrogen nutrient elements in the culture processUse in different culture modes, in particular in fed batch, semi-continuous or continuous culture mode. Therefore, if a new parameter capable of representing the degree of the nitrogen stress of the cells on line can be used to realize feedback control of the cells to maintain moderate nutrition stress, the method has important significance for nitrogen limitation microalgae culture, and is particularly beneficial to realizing stable control of outdoor large-scale culture.

Seawater culture, using modified F/2 nutrient salts, wherein the final concentration of each nutrient salt in mother liquor is (per liter): 75.00g NaNO3,5.00g NaH2PO4,3.15g FeCl3·6H2O,4.36g Na2EDTA,9.80mg CuSO4·5H2O,6.30mg Na2MoO4·2H2O,22.00mg ZnSO4·7H2O,10.00mg CoCl2·6H2O,0.18g MnCl2·4H2O, 1.00mg vitamin B12, 0.20g vitamin B1, 1.10mg biotin. The nitrogen nutrient concentration in the system is expressed as the final concentration of nitrogen element.
In this example, microalgae cells were cultured under 4 culture conditions. In the 4 culture processes, other nutrient elements except nitrogen nutrition in the system can meet the requirements of microalgae cell growth, including phosphorus, sulfur, iron, copper, molybdenum, zinc, silicon, manganese, cobalt and the like, as well as microorganisms, biotin and the like; the light intensity, temperature and ventilation were maintained constant. At the initial inoculation under each culture condition, the dry weight of cells in the culture system was 0.18 g/L.
Culturing condition 1, wherein the nutrition is sufficient during the culturing process, the normal growth of microalgae cells can be met, the culturing is carried out until the stable period, and an element analyzer is utilized to determine the maximum intracellular nitrogen content NmaxIt was 8.10% wt. The specific nutrient elements are supplemented as follows: adding F/2 mother liquor into the culture medium during inoculation, and adding 5mL of F/2 nutrient salt mother liquor into each liter of culture system when the nitrogen element level in the system is 63mg L-1(expressed as a 5 XF/2 level); monitoring nitrogen concentration in the system during culture, and consuming nitrogen in the system to 10mg L by 3 days-1At this time (i.e., 1 XF/2 level), 4mL of F/2 nutrient salt stock solution was supplemented to the medium until the nitrogen concentration reached 60mg L-1(reaching about 5 XF/2 level again), when the culture is carried out for 6 days, 4mL of F/2 nutrient salt mother liquor is supplemented again, the culture is continued for 10 days, and the microalgae is harvested to measure the content of the intracellular nitrogen.
