Scientific Activity
Decreasing fossil fuels and its impact on global warming have led to an increasing demand for its replacement by sustainable renewable biofuels. Microalgae may offer a potential feedstock for renewable biofuels capable of converting atmospheric CO2 to substantial biomass and valuable biofuels, which is of great importance for the food and energy industries. Parachlorella kessleri, a marine unicellular green alga belonging to class Trebouxiophyceae, accumulates large amount of lipids under nutrient-deprived conditions. The present study aims to understand the metabolic imprints in order to elucidate the physiological mechanisms of lipid accumulations in this microalga under nutrient deprivation. Molecular profiles were obtained using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of P. kessleri subjected to nutrient deprivation. Relative quantities of more than 60 metabolites were systematically compared in all the three starvation conditions. Our results demonstrate that in lipid metabolism, the quantities of neutral lipids increased significantly followed by the decrease in other metabolites involved in photosynthesis, and nitrogen assimilation. Nitrogen starvation seems to trigger the triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation rapidly, while the microalga seems to tolerate phosphorous limitation, hence increasing both biomass and lipid content. The metabolomic and lipidomic profiles have identified a few common metabolites such as citric acid and 2-ketoglutaric acid which play significant role in diverting flux towards acetyl-CoA leading to accumulation of neutral lipids, whereas other molecules such as trehalose involve in cell growth regulation, when subjected to nutrient deprivation. Understanding the entire system through qualitative (untargeted) metabolome approach in P. kessleri has led to identification of relevant metabolites involved in the biosynthesis and degradation of precursor molecules that may have potential for biofuel production, aiming towards the vision of tomorrow’s bioenergy needs.
Photosynthetic organisms fix inorganic carbon through carbon capture machinery (CCM) that regulates the assimilation and accumulation of carbon around ribulose-1,5bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). However, few constraints that govern the central carbon metabolism are regulated by the carbon capture and partitioning machinery. In order to divert the cellular metabolism toward lipids and/or biorenewables it is important to investigate and understand the molecular mechanisms of the CO2 -driven carbon partitioning. In this context, strategies for enhancement of CO2 fixation which will increase the overall biomass and lipid yields, can provide clues on understanding the carbon assimilation pathway, and may lead to new targets for genetic engineering in microalgae. In the present study, we have focused on the physiological and metabolomic response occurring within marine oleaginous microalgae Microchloropsis gaditana NIES 2587, under the influence of very-low CO2 (VLC; 300 ppm, or 0.03%) and high CO2 (HC; 30,000 ppm, or 3% v/v). Our results demonstrate that HC supplementation in M. gaditana channelizes the carbon flux toward the production of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) and also increases the overall biomass productivities (up to 2.0-fold). Also, the qualitative metabolomics has identified nearly 31 essential metabolites, among which there is a significant fold change observed in accumulation of sugars and alcohols such as galactose and phytol in VLC as compared to HC. In conclusion, our focus is to understand the entire carbon partitioning and metabolic regulation within these photosynthetic cell factories, which will be further evaluated through multiomics approach for enhanced productivities of biomass, biofuels, and bioproducts (B3).
The economic feasibility of the next-generation algal biofuels relies largely on the simultaneous production of high-value-added bioproducts (HVABs) in these photosynthetic cell factories. In this study, a newly isolated indigenous microalga belonging to the selenastraceae family Monoraphidium sp. (designated as CABeR41) has been isolated and characterized for its relevant biofuel precursors along with other HVABs, i.e., tocopherols. Our preliminary data sets demonstrate accumulation of higher amounts of lipids (266.6 mg g−1 dcw) along with antioxidant molecules, such as α- and δ-tocopherols (456 µg g−1 dcw and 974 µg g−1 dcw), simultaneously when subjected to nutrient deprivation. The total tocopherol content has been increased in nitrogen-deplete conditions to 1450.24 µg g−1 dcw from 638.2 µg g−1 dcw. In conclusion, bioprospecting of new isolates from natural habitats and fine-tuning of specific conditions without compromising growth has potential for developing into a sustainable industrial strain for concomitant production of biofuels and bioproducts.
The need for mass production of biofuels has been pushed up by rising energy demand in the world population. In this context, microalgae have emerged as a potential source for biodiesel production because of its high lipid content and ability to grow on minimal media sources. However, the knowledge of the metabolic processes in these systems is fairly naive and therefore hinders the genetic progress that can be proven to improve the development of biofuel precursors. In the present study, a comprehensive analysis of an indigenous oleaginous microalgae P. kessleri has been performed, using hybrid assembly of both short Illumina and long Nanopore read, leading to assembly of a highly contiguous 64.90 Mb genome with 8,371 functional genes and 874 putative transcription factors. The genome reconstruction is complemented using phylogenetic analysis of acyl lipid metabolism revealed the evolutionary conservation of these proteins among various microalgal species. Henceforth, understanding and reconstruction of global metabolic pathways will provide clues towards engineering of algal strains for enhanced production of biomass, biofuels and bioproducts (B3).
Aurantiochytrium sp. is a marine thraustochytrid that accumulates high levels of docosahexaenoic acid, a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid essential for cellular components. In the present study, the impact of different carbon substrates on the productivity of docosahexaenoic acid in the native marine isolate has been investigated to understand metabolomic changes within the strain. Our preliminary data demonstrates that overall biomass and docosahexaenoic acid productivities were maximal at 3% (w/v) glycerol concentration, i.e., 1.91 g L-1 D-1, and 134.96 mg L-1 D-1, respectively. Further investigations were done using qualitative metabolomics to identify metabolites that delineate their physiological changes under specific conditions. Nearly 34 metabolites comprising of fatty acids, sugars, and organic acids were found to be significantly regulated, thus underlining the importance of these functional metabolites in the polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis i.e., Omega. This led to our hypothesis that utilization of carbon substrate such as glycerol is able to induce cell growth along with the production of these essential fatty acids via., upregulation of pentose phosphate pathway. In conclusion, this study provides us an alternative and cost-effective carbon source for the production of high-value added omega’s employing valorization of by-products (e.g., glycerol) from biorefineries in heterotrophic thraustochytrids.
The major concern among microalgae genetic and metabolic engineering is lack of molecular tools and overall poor expression of heterologous genes from the nuclear genome of many microalgae species, at least partially due to their rapid silencing. Tools for synthetic biology and genetic engineering in algae are yet to be developed or still infancy. Our future perspectives will be development of basic interchangeable elements for regulating the metabolic pathways such as common promoters, transcriptional terminators, ribosome binding sites, and other regulatory factors in microalgae. The following strategies will be employed on the fundamentals, and engineering process of microalgae together with global R&D efforts and attempts, thus further aiming towards commercialization.
- Understanding the overall regulatory genes in TAG biosynthesis and catabolism pathways, oil mobilization and also gene silencing altering the lipid content to increase in overall lipid production or shift the balance of lipid production without comprising growth.
- Studies are underway for determining the role played by chemical molecules having any effect on microalgae metabolism i.e., growth and/or lipid biosynthesis.
- Integrated Omics and Big Data approach to understanding the complex mechanisms in microalgae for biofuel production.
- Development of genome editing tools for genetic engineering in microalgae.
- Identification of high-value renewables from microalgae such as OMEGAs, Lutein, Astaxanthin, natural pigments etc. of industrial relevance and scale-up.
Microalgal growth can be better understood by the interaction of algal biofuel production with the environment through development of models describing their usefulness for designing efficient bioreactor, predicting process performance and optimizing operating conditions. Models for life cycle assessment (LCA) provide information about technology, economics, and sustainability along with evaluation of the inputs and outputs and their potential environmental impacts of a product, and the final outcome may vary with different culture systems, and the different methods used for biomass harvest and oil refinery.
Our major futuristic improvements will be focused for economical microalgal fuel production:
- Improving photosynthetic efficiency through genetic/metabolic engineering in microalgal mass culturing along with economical harvesting procedures.
- Channeling of fixed carbon into higher fuel value products of commercial relevance.
- Development of robust, ‘engineered’ algal cells that will persist and compete in lower-cost open or semi-open environments.
These insights will provide solutions for some of major ongoing concerns like high capital investments, operational costs and as well as contamination problems in microalgal biofuel production.
