Accumulation of Free Fatty Acids during Hardening of Chlorella ellipsoidea.

چکیده
Chlorella ellipsoidea Gerneck (IAM C-27) was synchronously grown, and cells at an intermediate stage in the ripening phase of the cell cycle were hardened at 3 degrees C for 48 hours. A nonpolar lipid which increased greatly during hardening was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. Palmitic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were the main components of the lipid. Electron micrographs revealed the appearance of lipid bodies in hardened cells. When formation of free fatty acids and lipid bodies was inhibited with cycloheximide, oligomycin, and 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, the development of a high level of hardiness was always inhibited. However, the converse results were not always realized. Cells hardened in the dark in the absence of glucose developed a measurable hardiness in spite of their failure to form free fatty acids. The appearance of lipid bodies was invariably accompanied by the formation of the fatty acids. In pulse-labeling with [(14)C]NaHCO(3) for 4 minutes at zero time and at the 12th hour of hardening, initial incorporation rates of (14)C into total lipids of whole cells and the cellular membrane fraction were significantly higher than that into free fatty acids. These results suggest that, although fatty acids are inserted into membrane lipids during hardening, the accumulation of free fatty acids and the appearance of lipid bodies per se are not involved in the development of frost hardiness.

Chlorella ellipsoidea Gerneck (IAM C-27) was synchronously grown and cells at an intermediate stage in the ripening phase of the cell cycle were hardened at 3 C for 48 hours. At various times of hardening, the cells were pulse-labeled for 4 minutes with [(14)C]NaHCO(3) in the light or with [(14)C]glucose in the dark, and the incorporation rate of (14)C into total lipids was determined.

BACKGROUND The lipid content of microalgae is regarded as an important indicator for biodiesel. Many attempts have been made to increase the lipid content of microalgae through biochemical and genetic engineering. Significant lipid accumulation in microalgae has been achieved using biochemical engineering, such as nitrogen starvation, but the cell growth was severely limited. However, enrichmen...
