Abstract
Microalgae can convert inorganic carbon (CO2) and nitrogen (NOx) into biomass products. However, detection of the concentration of inorganic carbon or nitrogen sources under in-situ culture condition is difficult. In this work, taking Dunaliella salina as a model, the concentration of carbon and nitrogen source in microalgae culture systems are real-time and in-situ detected using UV resonance Raman spectroscopy directly without pretreatment. Due to the resonance Raman effect, the detection limit of inorganic components in the culture medium, HCO3−, CO3− and NO3− can reach 10 mM, 2.5 mM, and 0.05 mM respectively. To further indicate the potential of UV Raman spectroscopy, the nitrogen concentration of microalgae culture is monitored using a UV Raman spectrometer at 450 m below the sea. These results demonstrate that the UV resonance Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique for monitoring the carbon and nitrogen sources for microalgae growth.
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
