Neochloris oleoabundans oil production in an outdoor tubular photobioreactor at pilot scale
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Oil production was tested with Neochloris oleoabundans in a 6 m 3 , horizontal soft sleeve tubular reactor from 22 October to 7 November Matalascañas, southern Spain. Biomass productivity during the nitrogen replete phase 7.4 g dw ?2 day ?1 . Maximum lipid content biomass 39% and average depletion 2.0 Nitrogen of cultures carried out order enhance fatty acid formation, using inverse quota predict content. TFA concentration at harvest 14% DW, compared value 17%, predicted by quota. The overall feasibility technology for microalgal oil production, including mixing energy expenditure, evaluated.

An Interactive Tool for Outdoor Computer Controlled Cultivation of Microalgae in a Tubular Photobioreactor System
This paper describes an interactive virtual laboratory for experimenting with an outdoor tubular photobioreactor (henceforth PBR for short). This virtual laboratory it makes possible to: (a) accurately reproduce the structure of a real plant (the PBR designed and built by the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University of Almería, Spain); (b) simulate a generic tubular PBR by changing ...
متن کاملAccelerated triacylglycerol production and altered fatty acid composition in oleaginous microalga Neochloris oleoabundans by overexpression of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2
BACKGROUND Microalgae are promising sources of lipid triacylglycerol (TAG) for biodiesel production. However, to date, microalgal biodiesel is technically feasible, but not yet economically viable. Increasing TAG content and productivity are important to achieve economic viability of microalgal biodiesel. To increase TAG content, oleaginous microalga Neochloris oleoabundans was genetically engi...
متن کاملPrediction of volumetric productivity of an outdoor photobioreactor.
Volumetric productivity of Monodus subterraneus cultivated in an outdoor pilot-plant bubble column was predicted with a mathematical model. Two border cases to model the photobioreactor were chosen. Firstly, a model with no light integration in which it is assumed that microalgae can adapt immediately to local light conditions. Secondly, full light integration implicating that microalga can con...
متن کاملThe influence of day/night cycles on biomass yield and composition of Neochloris oleoabundans
BACKGROUND Day/night cycles regulate the circadian clock of organisms to program daily activities. Many species of microalgae have a synchronized cell division when grown under a day/night cycle, and synchronization might influence biomass yield and composition. Therefore, the aim of this study was to study the influence of day/night cycle on biomass yield and composition of the green microalga...
متن کاملHeterotrophic growth of Neochloris oleoabundans using glucose as a carbon source
BACKGROUND In comparison with phototrophic growth, heterotrophic conditions can significantly increase growth rates, final cell number and cell mass in microalgae cultures. Neochloris oleoabundans is a microalga of biotechnological interest that accumulates lipids under phototrophic and nitrogen-limited conditions. Heterotrophic flask culture experiments were conducted to identify carbon source...
