Title: DISCOVR strain pipeline screening – Part I: Maximum specific growth rate as a function of temperature and salinity for 38 candidate microalgae for biofuels production

Abstract

Here, to identify high productivity strains for microalgal biofuels generation, the maximum specific growth rate of 38 strains was measured as a function of salinity (i.e., 5, 15, and 35 PSU) and temperature (i.e., at 8 temperatures along a linear gradient from ca. 5 to 45°C) to determine the most suitable growth medium salinity and best growing season, respectively, for outdoor raceway pond cultivation. The following strains were evaluated: Agmenellum quadruplicatum UTEX 2268, Anabaena sp. ATCC 33081, Arthrospira fusiformis UTEX 2721, Arthrospira platensis UTEX 3086, Chlorella vulgaris NREL 4-C12, Chlorella autotrophica CCMP 243, Chlorella sorokiniana DOE1044, Chlorella sorokiniana DOE 1116, Chlorella sorokiniana DOE 1412 (UTEXB3016), Chlorella vulgaris LRB AZ-1201, Chlorococcum littorale UTEX 117, Chlorococcum sp.

For each strain, the identity and the presence of bacterial cohorts was determined using 18S and 16S rDNA sequencing, respectively. The maximum specific growth rate versus temperature data were also used to determine the activation energies (Arrhenius equation) for most strains. For all strains, the measured salinity and temperature tolerance data were compared to those reported in the literature. The fastest growing strains were down-selected for subsequent biomass productivity measurements in climate-simulation photobioreactors, as reported in the next paper in the issue.« less
