Abstract
With increasing interests in the biological conversion of waste resources into value-added chemicals and biocompounds, algal biomass has emerged as a promising renewable feedstock due to abundance, rapid growth, and sustainability. However, efficient bioconversion method is still being challenged due to the lack of suitable host strain capable of directly utilizing algal biomass and converting into desired products. In this study, a potent marine bacterium capable of producing zeaxanthin from algal biomass was investigated. The agarolytic bacterium, Cellulophaga omnivescoria MSK1 was isolated from coastal seawater. Through physiological and morphological analysis, it was confirmed that this bacterium degrade agarose into neoagarotetraose (NA4) and neoagarohexaose (NA6) and produces zeaxanthin using agarose as a carbon source. This bacterial strain demonstrated the ability to produce 2.23 ± 0.19 mg/L of zeaxanthin when provided with 0.2% agarose as a carbon source. By supplementing with glycerol, zeaxanthin production was further enhanced, reaching levels of 8.43 ± 0.31 mg/L, with a content of 6.77 ± 0.3 mg/g CDW (cell dry weight). These results suggest that an agarolytic Cellulophaga omnivescoria MSK1 strain has a great potential to be used as a platform microbial strain capable of producing zeaxanthin from algal biomass as a sustainable feedstock.
期刊介绍:
Energy & Environment is an interdisciplinary journal inviting energy policy analysts, natural scientists and engineers, as well as lawyers and economists to contribute to mutual understanding and learning, believing that better communication between experts will enhance the quality of policy, advance social well-being and help to reduce conflict. The journal encourages dialogue between the social sciences as energy demand and supply are observed and analysed with reference to politics of policy-making and implementation. The rapidly evolving social and environmental impacts of energy supply, transport, production and use at all levels require contribution from many disciplines if policy is to be effective. In particular E & E invite contributions from the study of policy delivery, ultimately more important than policy formation. The geopolitics of energy are also important, as are the impacts of environmental regulations and advancing technologies on national and local politics, and even global energy politics. Energy & Environment is a forum for constructive, professional information sharing, as well as debate across disciplines and professions, including the financial sector. Mathematical articles are outside the scope of Energy & Environment. The broader policy implications of submitted research should be addressed and environmental implications, not just emission quantities, be discussed with reference to scientific assumptions. This applies especially to technical papers based on arguments suggested by other disciplines, funding bodies or directly by policy-makers.
