Data determination
The biomass, oil content, oil production efficiency and carbon fixation rate of the microalgae of examples 1-2 and comparative examples 1-3 were measured at total days of culture of 3, 9, 13, 21, respectively.
The biomass measuring method comprises the following steps: measuring biomass by a dry weight method, filtering a certain volume of algae liquid by using a filter membrane with a constant weight and a pore diameter of 0.45 mu m, placing the filter membrane in a drying oven at 105 ℃ until drying, then placing the filter membrane in a dryer to cool to room temperature, and calculating the weight difference before and after weighing to obtain the size of the biomass.
The method for measuring the oil content and the oil production efficiency comprises the following steps:
the calculated Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAMEs) content is taken as the oil content, and the FMAEs yield is taken as the oil production efficiency. Simple and rapid methods for FAMEs analysis were used. First, lipids are methyl esterified to fatty acid methyl esters. 20mg of dry algae powder is added into a glass tube with a cover and a volume of 10mL, 2mL of freshly prepared methyl esterification reagent (acetyl chloride/methanol, volume ratio of acetyl chloride to methanol is 1:9) is added, the cover is added and screwed, and then the mixture is placed in a water bath at 80 ℃ for reaction for 2.5 hours. After the reaction was complete, it was cooled to room temperature and 1mL of 1% aqueous NaCl solution and 2mL of n-hexane containing methyl benzoate (approximately 0.36mg/mL n-hexane) were added, with methyl benzoate as an internal standard. After shaking and centrifuging, layering, recovering the upper layer containing FAMEs to a GC sample tube, drying by anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then determining.
The total amount and composition of FAMEs was determined using a gas chromatograph Agilent 6890 using a flame ionization detector and a DB-FFAP model capillary column (30 m.times.0.25 mm.times.0.25 μm). The gas chromatography was run under the following conditions: the sample volume is 1 mu L; the split ratio is 1: 10; the air flow rate is 450mL/min, the H is 240 mL/min, and the carrier gas (N2) is 45 mL/min; the temperature of a sample inlet is 250 ℃; the temperature of the detector is 300 ℃; the initial furnace temperature was 140 ℃ and held for 2min, followed by a 10 ℃/min ramp to 240 ℃ and a 2min hold at 240 ℃. The FAMEs content was calculated from the peak area of each fatty acid methyl ester in the sample and the peak area of the internal standard. The yield of FAMEs was calculated as follows:
where t0 represents the initial time at the time of inoculation and t1 represents the nth day of culture.
