Abstract

Botryococcus spp. are green microalgae (Chlorophyta) known to contain an abundant amount of hydrocarbons, lipids and other bioactive constituents such as ether based lipids, fatty acids, polysaccharides and carotenoids which are used for commercial applications. In comparison with higher plants, after microalgae fix carbon dioxide (CO2), they have a greater ability to convert it into biomass and subsequently into products of interest. Some significant studies on the optimization of lipid biosynthetic pathways in microalgae for biofuel production are available since Botryococcus spp. have been known to contain a high amount of lipid in their cells. However, carbohydrates pathways, which are also precursors for biofuel production have been overlooked. This brief review aims to provide insights into the need to consider carbohydrates pathway in Botryococcus spp. to maximize biofuel production in microalgae.
碳水化合物途径在芽孢球菌生物燃料生产最大化中的意义
Botryococcus spp.是一种绿色微藻(绿藻),已知含有大量的碳氢化合物、脂质和其他生物活性成分,如醚基脂质、脂肪酸、多糖和类胡萝卜素,这些成分被用于商业应用。与高等植物相比,微藻在固定二氧化碳(CO2)后,将其转化为生物质并随后转化为感兴趣的产品的能力更强。由于已知芽孢球菌在其细胞中含有大量的脂质,因此可以对微藻中用于生物燃料生产的脂质生物合成途径进行一些有意义的优化研究。然而,碳水化合物途径(也是生物燃料生产的前体)却被忽视了。本文综述了微藻中碳水化合物途径对生物燃料生产的影响。
