Effect of temperature on the growth, total lipid content and fatty acid composition of recently isolated tropical microalgae Isochrysis sp., Nitzschia closterium, Nitzschia paleacea, and commercial species Isochrysis sp. (clone T.ISO)

Abstract: The effect of temperature from 10 "C to 35 C on the growth, total lipid content, and fatty acid composition of three species of tropical marine microalgae, Isochrysis sp., Nitzschia closterium, N. paleacea (formerlyfrustulum), and the Tahitian Isochrysis sp. (T.ISO), was investigated.Cultures of N. closterium, Isochrysis sp. and T.ISO grew very slowly at 35 C, while N. closterium did not grow at temperatures higher than 30 "C or lower than 20 "C. N. paleacea was low-temperature tolerant, with cells growing slo… Show more

“…There was no consistent pattern for production of lipids as influenced by temperature (Renaud et al 1995). Increasing lipid content with increasing temperature had been shown in some algae (Zhu et al 1997), however low temperature resulted in higher lipid production for Nitzschia paleacea (Renaud et al 1995). The present study showed that lipid tended to accumulate at both low and high growth temperatures.…”

“…It was reported that salinity had a great effect on lipid content (Al-Hasan et al 1990;Renaud and Parry 1994), however, our results showed that within the salinity range 22-49 g l )1 the lipid content remained constant except that lipid content increased dramatically at extremely high salt concentration. There was no consistent pattern for production of lipids as influenced by temperature (Renaud et al 1995). Increasing lipid content with increasing temperature had been shown in some algae (Zhu et al 1997), however low temperature resulted in higher lipid production for Nitzschia paleacea (Renaud et al 1995).…”

“…The decrease of the T. pseudonana growth temperature from moderate to 12°C caused a decrease of the saturated (16:0 and 24:0) and an increase of the unsaturated fatty acids. Such changes play an essential role in the maintenance of the fluidity of the hydrophobic membrane regions [15,36,37] thereby providing stability to the metabolomic processes which take place within the membrane, such as photosynthetic light-harvesting and electron transport [38]. Additionally, we observed an increase of the EPA contents in T. pseudonana cells when cultures were transferred from 20 to 12°C.…”

“…Entre los principales factores que influyen el desarrollo microalgal, está la temperatura e iluminación, los cuales tienen un efecto sobre la actividad fotosintética, el contenido de pigmentos, velocidad de crecimiento y composición química de la microalga [62]. En las pruebas realizadas en condiciones de invernadero por un periodo de tres días y en diferentes tiempos, se observa que las condiciones abióticas tanto del invernadero (Temperatura y Luminosidad) y de los cultivos (Temperatura y pH), cuyos datos fueron tomados previos a la inyección del CO 2 , no existen diferencias significativas, lo cual indica que no afectarían al desarrollo de las microalgas.…”
