英文摘要 | Microalgae are cultivated in macro-scale reactors traditionally and the relevant knowledge is based on bulk analysis. Whether the knowledge and laws are true for cells under micro-cultivation is still unknown. To better understand microalgal physiology, micro-cultivation of microalgae, and unicellular tracking and analysis of its response in vivo is necessary. In the study, cellular responses of Chlorella vulgaris to micro-cultivation is studied, with cells in flasks as a control. Five different microwell depths ranging from 10 to 200 mu m with a fixed diameter of 100 mu m, and four diameter levels from 30 to 200 mu m with a fixed depth 60 mu m were investigated. Unicellular dynamics showed that cell number differences among various types of microwells with different initial cell numbers decreased as cultivation processed. Besides, the specific growth rate of C. vulgaris on microwell arrays was much higher than that in flasks and so cells on microwell arrsys can be much sensitive to pollutants. Thus, the interesting characteristics may be used in cell sensor applications to enhance sensitivity. The specific growth rate of C. vulgaris on microwell arrays decreased gradually as the microwell diameter increased from 30 to 2001 mu m while presented a unimodal trend as depth decreased from 200 to 101 mu m. Furthermore, we used Raman Spectroscopy and Non-invasive Micro-test Technique to analyze cellular responses in microwells for the first time to track the changes in vivo. Results indicated that unicellular carotenoid content increased as microwells became larger and shallower. The flow rate of oxygen rose gradually as the depth increased from 10 to 100 mu m, but then decreased rapidly as the depth deepened to 200 mu m. In fact, it is a combined result of cell physiology and density. In summary, cells in microwells with the diameter/depth ratio similar to 1 owned the highest specific growth rates and oxygen flow rates. Simulations also suggested that better mass transfer occurred in microwells with higher diameter-to-depth ratios. |
