AbstractAbstract PDF
Microalgae and bacteria are known to be closely associated in diverse environments. To isolate dominant bacterial species associated with a green alga, Dunaliella tertiolecta, a photoreactor culture of the microalga was investigated using culture- based and culture-independent approaches. The bacterial community structure of the algal culture showed that the most abundant bacterial species under the culture conditions was related to the genus Winogradskyella. The closely related amplicon sequences, showing ≥ 99.5% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to one of the isolates, designated IMCC- 33238T, constituted > 49% of the bacterial community and was therefore regarded as the most dominant species in the algal culture. Strain IMCC33238T was characterized by Gramstaining- negative and orange-colored rods. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA genes as well as whole genome sequences revealed that strain IMCC33238T belonged to Winogradskyella and shared more than 97.2% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Winogradskyella species. The strain contained iso-C15:1 G, iso-C15:0, iso-C15:0 3-OH, and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c) as major fatty acids and MK-6 as the predominant quinone. The polar lipids found in strain IMCC33238T were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, and three unidentified lipids. The genome of strain IMCC33238T was 3.37 Mbp in size with 33.9 mol% G + C content and proteorhodopsin. Many genes encoding folate and vitamin production are considered to play an important role in the bacteria-algae interaction. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, strain IMCC33238T represents a novel species in the genus Winogradskyella, for which the name Winogradskyella algicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMCC33238T (= KACC 21192T = NBRC 113704T).

AbstractAbstract PDF
Non-food-based biofuel feedstocks are in high demand worldwide. Among the various feedstocks, microalgae are the most promising feedstock for mitigating atmospheric CO2 and producing biodiesel. In this study, various concentrations of CO2, from 0.03 to 12%, were used to investigate their effect on the cell growth, biomass and lipid production and fatty acid composition of Dunaliella sp. in a closed photobioreactor. The results showed that the highest biomass and total lipids, 521 mg/L/d and 40 mg/L/d, respectively, were produced with 5% CO2 aeration during the logarithmic growth phase. The oleic acid (18:1n9c) and elaidic acid (18:1n9t) contents were increased approximately two fold. The physiological responses of Dunaliella sp. at 10% CO2 were similar to those at 5% CO2. Therefore, the present results suggest that 5–10% is a suitable CO2 concentration range for Dunaliella sp. growth to mitigate atmospheric CO2 and increase biofuel production.
