Definitions
- the present invention relates to using microbial cell culture conditions that result in increased levels and concentrations of pigments.
- PC Phycocyanin
- Phycocyanin is a blue pigmented billiprotein, a chromophore produced in prokaryotic cyanobacteria as well as certain eukaryotes such as the rhodophytes, cryptomonads and glaucocystophytes.
- PC is increasingly being exploited as a natural food colouring, replacing the synthetic dye Brilliant Blue FCF that has been associated with health problems; PC is particularly suited to this use because of its high solubility in water and stability over a large pH range [1].
- PC is used in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries at higher purities for its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, together with other associated health benefits [2-4].
- PC in its more crude form is also used as an additive to animal feeds to enhance the colour of ornamental fish and birds.
- At its highest quality and purity PC is used in laboratory assay kits for its fluorescent properties.
- the PC market is in its infancy.
- PC is present in the thylakoid membrane complexed with the other biliproteins including phycoerythrin (PE) and allophycocyanin (AP or APC) which together function as a light-harvesting apparatus known as the phycobillisome [6].
- PE phycoerythrin
- AP or APC allophycocyanin
- phycobillisome absorbs specific wavelengths of light that cannot be utilized by chlorophyll, thereby increasing the efficiency of photosynthesis [7].
- PC absorbs maximally at 610-620 nm with PE (540-570 nm) and APC (650-655 nm) [6].
- Cyanobacteria are widely used in aquaculture for PC production with the eukaryotes showing potential for future exploitation.
- Arthrospira (formerly known as Spirulina and still commercially known as ' Spirulina') is the most commonly cultured genus; however, PC has been extracted from other genera such as Aphanizomenon and Anabaena.
- the main species in culture are Arthrospira platensis and A. maxima. These are both filamentous cyanobacteria with spiral-shaped filaments or trichomes.
- spirulina In addition to its high PC content, spirulina also contains high amounts of other compounds
- Spirulina has been used as a food for many centuries [9]. Spirulina biomass is a salable product alone, however pure phycocyanin, depending on purity has a considerably higher market price.

- a stirred tank photobioreactor (Infors Labfors 4 benchtop modified bioreactor) with either white (Lumitronix Barre LED High-Power SMD 600 mm, 12 V) or 680 nm Red LEDs ( Figures 2 and 3) was operated with 2.75 1 of culture at 30 °C and 45 ⁇ 1 !!! "2 light intensity with 18:6 light: dark cycle and impeller speed 200 rpm with natural compressed air (-0.03 % C0 2 ) supplied at 0.08 LPM (VVM (volume of air per volume of culture per minute) -0.03 litres air per litres medium per minute, LPM) through a gauzed ring sparger. pH and dissolved oxygen was recorded online in 10 minute periods (Mettler Toledo probes). 8 ml samples were taken aseptically on days 1 (inoculation), 3, 6, 7, 10, 13, and 14 for analysis.
- STPBR stirred tank photobioreactor
- Optical density (OD) was used alongside chlorophyll autofluorescence (CF) and direct cell counts as a proxy for growth.
- OD was measured in triplicate at 750 nm Griffiths et al. (2011) [14] using a Cary 100 UV/Vis Spectrophotometer (Varian) corrected with F/2 medium.
- CF was analysed in three triplicate 300 ⁇ samples divided into individual wells of a black 96 well plate. Samples were excited at 430 nm and emission measured at 690 nm using a FLUO star OPTFM A fluorescence plate reader (BMG LAB TECH) . Readings were taken against blank samples of F/2 medium and the average values in arbitrary fluorescence units used for statistical analysis. Cell counts were performed using a Sedgewick rafter counting cell and using Leitz Dialux 20 light microscope. Triplicate 10 random sample counts were taken for ⁇ of culture.
- Example III Morphological assessment
- the total length and width of the spirals of 20 cyanobacteria were measured to assess any changes in the morphological features of the trichomes. Images were taken using Leitz Dialux 20 light microscope and EasyGrab software with analysis performed using Image J. Image size was calibrated using graticules at 630 pixels mm "1 .
- PC extraction was based on the method by Zhang and Chen (1999) [15]. 5 mL samples were harvested by centrifugation at 3000 g/10 minutes (Sigma 3K18C centrifuge) in pre-weighed glass tubes. Cells were washed once in deionized water and the wet biomass weighed. The pellet was then resuspended in 3 mL 0.05 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH7). Cells were disrupted by a freeze/thaw cycle (-20 °C) over 1 hour and sonicated for 3 minutes at 6 microns amplitude (Soniprep 150, MSE).
- Matrix preparation 20 mg alpha-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (HCCA) (Brucker Daltonics) was mixed with 1 ml 50 % acentonitrile: 2.5 % TFA solution and saturated by 30 minutes incubation at 25°C in an ultrasonic water bath (Grant instruments, Cambridge), vortexed at 15 minutes. Matrix was centrifuged (14,000 g, 1 minutes) (Sigma 1-15K microcentrifuge) and 50 ⁇ 1 aliquots prepared fresh for use.
- HCCA alpha-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid
- Sample preparation 1 ml samples were centrifuged (14,000 g, 5 minutes) (Sigma 1-15K microcentrifuge) and the pellet washed twice in fresh deionized water (fdw) and stored frozen at -80 °C. Pellets were thawed on ice and resuspended in 50 ⁇ fdw before spotting. Samples were mixed 1 : 1 with HCCA matrix and 4 ⁇ duplicate samples spotted onto a steel target plate (MTP 384 target plate ground steel, Brucker) along with ⁇ ⁇ bacterial standard (Brucker) layered with 1 ⁇ HCCA matrix as a calibrant. Samples then underwent MS analysis (Bruker ultraflex II maldi-toftof). Spectra were analysed using flexAnalysis software package (Bruker).
- Example VI Population Analysis
- Samples were frozen in 15% sterile Glycerol and frozen at -80°C for population analysis (Dr Andrew Free and Rocky Kindt, Edinburgh University).
- Example XII Results: Culture aggregation.
- Culturing under 680nm light may also increase aggregation of the culture, with benefits to DSP. Aggregation may be a result of increased production of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) as a stress response.
