通过商品化DHA藻油的脂肪酸组成推测其微藻属名

DHA是一种重要的功能性ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸.我国卫生部相继批准了寇氏隐甲藻、裂壶藻、吾肯氏壶藻DHA藻油为新资源食品.收集并分析了9个商品化DHA藻油的脂肪酸含量,结合文献数据,发现通过商品化DHA藻油的脂肪酸特征推测其微藻属名是可行的.其中寇氏隐甲藻DHA藻油中长链多不饱和脂肪酸只含DHA,几乎不合DPA.裂壶藻与吾肯氏藻DHA藻油中长链多不饱脂肪酸主要以DHA和DPA为主,DHA/DPA比例随藻种而恒定,几乎不随发酵条件而有明显变化;DHA/DPA比例在2～3的DHA藻油多半来自裂壶藻;DHA/DPA比例在4～6的DHA藻油既可能来自裂壶藻也可能来自吾肯氏壶藻.

Production of a halotolerant lipase from Halomonas sp. strain C2SS100: Optimization by response-surface methodology and application in detergent formulations

The aim of this work was to optimize the production of a new lipase by a halotolerant bacterial strain Halomonas sp. C2SS100, by means of the response-surface methodology (RSM). The process parameters having the most significant effect on lipase production were identified using the Plackett–Burman screening design-of-experiments. Then, Box–Behnken design was applied to optimize lipase activity and the quadratic regression model of the lipase production was built. Indeed, the lipase yield was increased, and the value obtained experimentally (39 ± 2 U/ml) was very close to the rate predicted by the model (40.3 U/ml). Likewise, optimization of parameters by RSM resulted in 2.78-fold increase in lipase activity. These findings provide the first report on lipase production and optimization by a halotolerant bacterial strain belonging to Halomonas genus. Afterward, the biochemical properties of the produced lipase were studied for apply in oil stains removal. The crude lipase showed a maximum activity at 60°C and at pH ranging from 7 to 10. It displayed an important stability at high temperature, pH, and NaCl. Interestingly, this bacterial lipase exhibited a prominent stability toward some commercial solid and liquid detergents after 30 min of incubation at 50°C. The capability of the crude lipase to eliminate stain was ascertained on polycotton fabric pieces stained with lubricating oil. Whether with the addition of hot water alone or of a commercially available detergent, lipase is able to considerably boost the elimination of oil stains. The actual findings highlight the capacity of Halomonas sp. lipase for energy-efficient biocatalytic application.     

Microbial Fuel Cell Application for Azoic Dye Decolorization with Simultaneous Bioenergy Production Using Stenotrophomonas sp.

A single‐chamber air‐cathode microbial fuel cell (MFC) was successfully applied for decolorization of the diazoic dye Reactive Black 5 (RB5) with simultaneous production of electricity. An innovative low‐cost medium, the marine water‐glucose‐yeast extract medium (MWGY), was developed which appears as a textile marine effluent in terms of salinity. The anode compartment containing a single bacterial strain of Stenotrophomonas sp. showed almost complete dye decolorization with different RB5 concentrations after seven days of treatment. For the four dye concentrations used, a correlation between dye removal and production of electrical energy was found. The comparison of the decolorization process in the MFC with that in a batch reactor as control experiment highlights the efficiency of the single‐chamber air‐cathode MFC technology which improved the dye removal by the same bacterial strain.     

Direct electricity production from Microalgae Choricystis sp. and investigation of the boron to enhance the electrogenic activity

In this work, a new bio-electrochemical fuel cell was constructed and the effect of boron was investigated to obtain improved electrogenic activity of a green algae (Choricystis sp.). In a specially designed bio-electrochemical fuel cell, electrode combinations of indium tin oxide (ITO) and a carbon layer are used. Open circuit potential (OCP) measurements of algal cells placed bio-electrochemical fuel cells were performed with a cyclic on-off illumination of a LED light source. The results revealed that 60 μM is the efficient boron concentration for the algal growth and pigmentation. Higher doses of boron limited the algal growth. However, the algal growth reduced slightly at higher doses, pointing out a possible boron export mechanism in green algae. OCP analysis showed that hydrogen was electro-catalytically reduced at the cathode site and an 18 mV voltage was obtained from boron-deficient (0 μM) Choricystis sp. samples. A significant enhancement in voltage output up to 33 mV was achieved from 60 μM of boron-treated algal samples. The maximum power density was calculated from the boron-treated Choricystis sp. at pseudo-steady state as 42.2 mW m⁻² at a current density of 154 mA m⁻².     

Optimization for microbial degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) by Enterobacter sp. S-1 using response surface methodology

In this research, the response surface method designed by Box-Behnken was used to study the effect of temperature, pH value and TPH concentration on the biodegradation of Enterobacter sp. S-1contaminated soil. The value of determination coefficient (R²=0.9565) by analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated a satisfactory agreement between the quadratic model and the experimental data. It was found that TPH degradation rate was more significantly affected (P?<?0.0006) by temperature compared with other two parameters. In the temperature of 30?°C, pH value of 7.14 and TPH concentration was 4.83?g/L, the best degradation rate was 81.63%.     

Characterisation of a novel laminarinase from Microbulbifer sp. ALW1 and the antioxidant activity of its hydrolysates

Laminarin and its derived oligosaccharides have diverse bioactivities. The β-1,3-glucanase in marine bacteria can be employed as a tool to digest laminarin in the cell wall of brown algae. Here, we cloned, expressed and characterised a β-1,3-glucanase (laminarinase), MaLamNA, from the previously characterised marine bacterium Microbulbifer sp. ALW1, phylogenetically distinct from the glycoside hydrolase families of characterised laminarinases. The recombinant laminarinase was heterologously expressed and purified from Pichia pastoris GS115 cells with a molecular mass of 57.3 kDa. MaLamNA exerted its hydrolytic activity specifically against laminarin, with the highest activity at 45 °C and pH 4.5–5.5, respectively, and demonstrated high stability against extreme acidic and alkaline pH exposure. The addition of reducing agent dithiothreitol could significantly enhance the activity of MaLamNA. The hydrolytic products of laminarin by MaLamNA exhibited more effective antioxidant activities than the undigested laminarin. These characteristics of MaLamNA provide clues to its industrial application for laminarin bioresource development.
