Abstract
In microalgae mass production, co-cultivation with bacteria and biofilm immobilization hold promise, yet challenges persist in biofilm-based cultivation due to weak cohesion under stress. Hence, a novel bio-coating derived from spent medium and cells (extra-/intra-cellular organic matter from Cylindrotheca fusiformis and Escherichia coli) was applied to microporous membrane in submerged and permeated biofilm systems. Results showed a minimum 25 % improvement in biomass productivity (up to 45 g m−2) on bio-coated membranes in permeated system. Mucopolysaccharides in bio-coating facilitated biofilm development and encouraged a 10-fold higher AOM yield (defense mechanism against shearing force) in submerged systems, but biomass productivity was 10 times lower than permeated system. In permeated system, cells on IOM-coated membranes exhibited the highest biomass growth and lipid yield, potentially addressing the biomass-lipid trade-off. Permeated system with low operating cost around 69 $ kg−1 was a viable cultivation approach, presenting an opportunity to optimize microalgae production facilities.
期刊介绍:
Algal Research is an international phycology journal covering all areas of emerging technologies in algae biology, biomass production, cultivation, harvesting, extraction, bioproducts, biorefinery, engineering, and econometrics. Algae is defined to include cyanobacteria, microalgae, and protists and symbionts of interest in biotechnology. The journal publishes original research and reviews for the following scope: algal biology, including but not exclusive to: phylogeny, biodiversity, molecular traits, metabolic regulation, and genetic engineering, algal cultivation, e.g. phototrophic systems, heterotrophic systems, and mixotrophic systems, algal harvesting and extraction systems, biotechnology to convert algal biomass and components into biofuels and bioproducts, e.g., nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, plastics, etc. algal products and their economic assessment
