“…Though, there are different types of bacteria in the natural microalgae phycosphere (the environment surrounding microalgae); bacterial cell concentration is often determined as "total bacteria," without distinction of species and genera and can reach cell counts between 1x10 6 to 1x10 9 cells.mL − 1 (Fulbright et al 2018; Di Caprio 2020). In previous studies, the toxicity of six terpenes (eugenol, linalool, limonene, alpha, and beta-pinene, and trans-cinnamaldehyde) on the microalga N. oleoabundans UTEX 1185 were evaluated (Molina-Aulestia et al 2021). Currently, techniques such as MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) make it possible to determine the minimum concentration at which a substance inhibits the growth of microorganisms (Moreira et al 2005;Parvekar et al 2020).…”
Biological contamination is one of the main bottlenecks in the production of microalgae, reducing quality and productivity, sometimes leading to complete loss of the cultures. This work evaluated the presence of bacterial contaminants in N. oleoabundans cultures through HTS and 16S analysis and their susceptibility to 6 natural terpenes (α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, trans-cinnamaldehyde, linalool, and eugenol). The principal phyla identified were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria, and based on these data, 89 bacterial isolates of seven genera were obtained (36 Aureimonas sp., 27 Microbacterium sp., 5 Pseudomonas sp., 9 Bacillus sp., 14 Shinella sp., 1 Brevundimonas sp., and 1 Exiguobacterium sp.). The minimal inhibitory concentration of terpenes was 6.25 mg. mL− 1, with a reduction in bacterial counts of most isolates by 79% − 99%. The use of selected terpenes can be a pathway towards eco-friendly contamination control in microalgae cultures.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
