Název v původním jazyce

Light acclimation and pH perturbations affect photosynthetic performance in Chlorella mass culture

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Chlorella spp. are robust chlorophyte microalgal species frequently used in mass culture. The pH optimum for growth is close to neutrality; at this pH, theoretically little energy is required to maintain homeostasis. In the present study, we grew Chlorella fusca cells in an open, outdoor, thin-layer cascade photobioreactor (TLC), under ambient photon flux at the theoretically preferred pH (7.2), and let the culture pass the exponential growth phase. Using pH drift experiments, we show that an alkalization to pH 9 supported photosynthesis in the TLC. The increased photosynthetic activity under alkaline conditions was a pH-dependent effect, and not a dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentration-or light intensity-dependent effect. Re-acidification (inone step or in increments) lowered gross oxygen production and increased non-photochemical quenching in short-term experiments. Gross oxygen production and electron transport rates in PSII were uncoupled during the pH perturbation experim
