O crescimento celular da microalga de água doce Haematococcus pluvialis e a bioprodução de carotenoides são influenciados pelas diferentes condições de cultivo, como deficiência de nutrientes, iluminância, aeração, agitação, temperatura e pH, alterando sua morfologia celular e produzindo cistos avermelhados (carotenogênese). A aeração nos cultivos de microalgas está relacionada a alguns fatores que influenciam no crescimento celular. As microalgas absorvem e utilizam CO2 como a principal fonte de carbono no crescimento celular. Logo, a biossíntese de pigmentos pode ocorrer pela limitação do nitrogênio em presença de excesso de fontes de carbono. O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar a influência do emprego de CO2 na aeração do cultivo da microalga Haematococcus pluvialis sob o crescimento celular e a bioprodução de carotenoides. No cultivo foi utilizado o meio mixotrófico BBM (Bold Basal Medium) e acetato de sódio, empregando 20% de inóculo em pH inicial de 7,0, aeração de 0,30 L.min-1, com 30% de injeção de CO2 uma vez ao dia durante 1 h, sob iluminância de 6 klux, à 25 ºC durante 22 dias. Nestas condições o crescimento celular alcançou o máximo de 1,13±0,39 g.L-1 (10 dias) e os carotenoides totais 2949,91±988,65 µg.g-1, onde foi observado que a suplementação de CO2 como fonte de carbono dissolvida no meio de cultivo pode influenciar o crescimento celular e os carotenoides totais. Palavras-chave: Microalga.

Aeration in microalgae cultures is related to some factors that influence cell growth. Microalgae absorb and utilize CO2 as the main source of carbon in cell growth. Therefore, the biosynthesis of pigments can occur by the limitation of nitrogen in the presence of excess carbon sources. The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of the use of CO2 on the aeration of the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis under cell growth and bioproduction of carotenoids. In the culture, mixotrophic medium BBM (Bold Basal Medium) and sodium acetate were used, using 20% of inoculum at initial pH of 7.0, aeration of 0.30 L.min-1, with 30% of CO2 injection once a day for 1 h under 6 Klux illuminance at 25 ° C for 22 days. Under these conditions the cell growth reached a maximum of 1.13 ± 0.39 g. L-1 (10 days) and the total carotenoids 2949.91 ± 988.65 μg.g-1, where it was observed that CO2 supplementation as a source of carbon dissolved in the culture medium may influence cell growth and total carotenoids. Keywords: microalgae; pigment; aeration; cultivation.

Culture conditions which lead to the intracellular accumulation of arabinitol were investigated in Debaryomyces hansenii. Arabinitol, detected in very low concentrations during the exponential phase of growth, accumulated during the stationary phase of growth in yeast extract – peptone – 1% (w/v) glucose medium. This polyol was retained intracellularly even after depletion of exogenous glucose, but was rapidly depleted during regrowth in fresh glucose medium. The accumulation of arabinitol was also favoured in media containing 1% (w/v) D-fructose, sucrose, L-arabinose, glycerol, and sodium acetate. High mannitol levels accumulated in stationary phase cells derived from growth in 1% (w/v) D-mannitol, and in these cultures only traces of arabinitol were detectable. Intracellular mannitol was also retained after the extracellular mannitol had been consumed, and was rapidly depleted during regrowth in glucose medium. Arabinitol did not accumulate in basal medium with no added carbon source, nor in media with nonmetabolizable carbon sources (D-arabinose or D-ribose). On the other hand, arabinitol accumulation was independent of the initial glucose concentration between 1% (w/v) and about 9% (w/v).

Microalgae is an aquatic microorganism that conducts photosynthesis. It plays a vital role as an oxygen producer in the marine ecosystem. A freshwater microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis, has been utilized as a health supplement and industrial application which is beneficial for human. In addition to physical and chemical factors, nutrient composition is one crucial thing that contributes to the growth of microalgae. This present study aimed to determine and compare the growth rate of Haematococcus pluvialis cultivated in two culture medium, Walne’s and Guillard. The culture conditions observed were light intensity, photoperiod of light-dark hours, temperature, inoculum concentration of medium’s liquid, and cell density. This study confirmed that Walne’s media produced much higher biomass (247x104 cells/mL) than Guillard’s medium (209.6x104 cells/mL). The aspect to be further performed on  H. pluvialis biomass is exploring its high-value bio compound.

Abstract Microalgae as Haematococcus pluvialis produce lipid metabolites of great interest for different industries as the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, among other. Currently, one of the main limitations for the massive commercialization of these metabolites are the low yields between cell growth and the production of lipid metabolites. Thus, a better understanding of culture parameters that allow to get a balance between both variables is needed. Herein we evaluated the effect of Bold’s Basal Medium (BBM) on the production of lipid metabolites of high biotechnological value in Haematococcus pluvialis UTEX 2505. A factorial experimental design of 32 was used whereby the concentrations of the nitrogen and phosphorus source (0.2, 0.6 and 1.0 g / l) in the BBM culture medium were varied. Cell growth was measured, showed the highest concentration (1.148±0.842 g/l) for the treatment with the highest nitrate and phosphate content (a concentration of 1.0 g/l for both). The Astaxanthin content showed a maximum value of 76.22 ± 3.02 µg/mL for treatment with low nitrate (0.2 g/L) and medium phosphate (0.6 g/L). The antioxidant capacity was determined by the ORAC method, achieving superior values to those found in the literature for compounds such as vitamins E and C. The results suggested that low concentrations of nutrients, nitrate and phosphate have a positive effect on the concentration of lipid metabolites and affirm that the biomass of H. pluvialis UTEX 2505 is an excellent source of antioxidants and rich in essential fatty acids for human nutrition.

As the most recognizable natural secondary carotenoid astaxanthin producer, the green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis cultivation is performed via a two-stage process. The first is dedicated to biomass accumulation under growth-favoring conditions (green stage), and the second stage is for astaxanthin evolution under various stress conditions (red stage). This mini-review discusses the further improvement made on astaxanthin production by providing an overview of recent works on H. pluvialis, including the valuable ideas for bioprocess optimization on cell growth, and the current stress-exerting strategies for astaxanthin pigment production. The effects of nutrient constituents, especially nitrogen and carbon sources, and illumination intensity are emphasized during the green stage. On the other hand, the significance of the nitrogen depletion strategy and other exogenous factors comprising salinity, illumination, and temperature are considered for the astaxanthin inducement during the red stage. In short, any factor that interferes with the cellular processes that limit the growth or photosynthesis in the green stage could trigger the encystment process and astaxanthin formation during the red stage. This review provides an insight regarding the parameters involved in bioprocess optimization for high-value astaxanthin biosynthesis from H. pluvialis.

Strain S658T was isolated from a Lotus corniculatus nodule in a soil sample obtained in Uruguay. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and atpD gene showed that this strain clustered within the genus Phyllobacterium . The closest related species was, in both cases, Phyllobacterium trifolii PETP02T with 99.8 % sequence similarity in the 16S rRNA gene and 96.1 % in the atpD gene. The 16S rRNA gene contains an insert at the beginning of the sequence that has no similarities with other inserts present in the same gene in described rhizobial species. Ubiquinone Q-10 was the only quinone detected. Strain S658T differed from its closest relatives through its growth in diverse culture conditions and in the assimilation of several carbon sources. It was not able to reproduce nodules in Lotus corniculatus. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, phenotypic tests and fatty acid analyses confirmed that this strain should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Phyllobacterium , for which the name Phyllobacterium loti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S658T( = LMG 27289T = CECT 8230T).

Abstract Expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is a rapidly advancing field showing great promise for clinical applications. Recent evidence has implicated the nervous system and glial family ligands (GFLs) as potential drivers of hematopoietic survival and self-renewal in the bone marrow niche; how to apply this process to HSC maintenance and expansion has yet to be explored. We show a role for the GFL receptor, RET, at the cell surface of HSCs in mediating sustained cellular growth, resistance to stress, and improved cell survival throughout in vitro expansion. HSCs treated with the key RET ligand/coreceptor complex, glial-derived neurotrophic factor and its coreceptor, exhibit improved progenitor function at primary transplantation and improved long-term HSC function at secondary transplantation. Finally, we show that RET drives a multifaceted intracellular signaling pathway, including key signaling intermediates protein kinase B, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, NF-κB, and p53, responsible for a wide range of cellular and genetic responses that improve cell growth and survival under culture conditions.

Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a kind of polyesters. Due to its biodegradability and other extraordinary properties, PHB could be ideal material for use in medicine, pharmacy, food packaging and agriculture. Of the possible carbon sources, methane could be proved to be one of the most suitable substrates to the production of PHB. The experiment is about a serious of studies that methanotrophic strain IMV M3011 、M3021、and GYJ3 use methane as carbon to accumulate PHB, and their cell growth and PHB accumulation are studied. The capacity of producing PHB about three kinds of Methanotrophic strains is compared. As a result, methanotrophic strain IMV M3011 has a highest capcity to growth at 144h, the biomass of the cell is 1.22g/L, the secondly is M3021, and the GYJ3 is lowest, and methanotrophic strain IMV M3011 also has a highest capcity to produce PHB, PHB content is 16.94%, the secondly is M3021, The GYJ3 is lowest.

It is known that culture media (CM) promotes cellular growth, adhesion, and protects explanted primary brain cells from in vitro stresses. The fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplement used in most CM, however, contains significant quantities of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that confound quantitative and qualitative analyses from the EVs produced by the cultured cells. We quantitatively tested the ability of common FBS EV-depletion protocols to remove exogenous EVs from FBS-supplemented CM and evaluated the influence such methods have on primary astrocyte culture growth and viability. We assessed two methodologies utilized for FBS EV removal prior to adding to CM: (1) an 18-h ultracentrifugation (UC); and (2) a commercial EV-depleted FBS (Exo-FBS™). Our analysis demonstrated that Exo-FBS™ CM provided the largest depletion (75%) of total FBS EVs, while still providing 6.92 × 109 ± 1.39 × 108 EVs/mL. In addition, both UC and Exo-FBS™ CM resulted in poor primary astrocyte cell growth and viability in culture. The two common FBS EV-depletion methods investigated, therefore, not only contaminate in vitro primary cell-derived EV analyses, but also provide a suboptimal environment for primary astrocyte cell growth and viability. It appears likely that future CM optimization, using a serum-free alternative, might be required to advance analyses of cell-specific EVs isolated in vitro.

ABSTRACT Identification of physiological and environmental factors that limit efficient growth of hyperthermophiles is important for practical application of these organisms to the production of useful enzymes or metabolites. During fed-batch cultivation of Sulfolobus solfataricus in medium containing l-glutamate, we observed formation of l-pyroglutamic acid (PGA). PGA formed spontaneously from l-glutamate under culture conditions (78°C and pH 3.0), and the PGA formation rate was much higher at an acidic or alkaline pH than at neutral pH. It was also found that PGA is a potent inhibitor of S. solfataricus growth. The cell growth rate was reduced by one-half by the presence of 5.1 mM PGA, and no growth was observed in the presence of 15.5 mM PGA. On the other hand, the inhibitory effect of PGA on cell growth was alleviated by addition of l-glutamate or l-aspartate to the medium. PGA was also produced from the l-glutamate in yeast extract; the PGA content increased to 8.5% (wt/wt) after 80 h of incubation of a yeast extract solution at 78°C and pH 3.0. In medium supplemented with yeast extract, cell growth was optimal in the presence of 3.0 g of yeast extract per liter, and higher yeast extract concentrations resulted in reduced cell yields. The extents of cell growth inhibition at yeast extract concentrations above the optimal concentration were correlated with the PGA concentration in the culture broth. Although other structural analogues ofl-glutamate, such as l-methionine sulfoxide, glutaric acid, succinic acid, and l-glutamic acid γ-methyl ester, also inhibited the growth of S. solfataricus, the greatest cell growth inhibition was observed with PGA. We also observed that unlike other glutamate analogues,N-acetyl-l-glutamate enhanced the growth of S. solfataricus. This compound was stable under cell culture conditions, and replacement of l-glutamate with N-acetyl-l-glutamate in the medium resulted in increased cell density.

AbstractRibosome biogenesis in eukaryotes requires stoichiometric production and assembly of 80 ribosomal proteins (RPs) and 4 ribosomal RNAs, and its rate must be coordinated with cellular growth. The indispensable regulator of RP biosynthesis is the 5’-terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) motif, spanning the transcription start site of all RP genes. Here we show that the Microprocessor complex, previously linked to the first step of processing microRNAs (miRNAs), coregulates RP expression by binding the TOP motif of nascent RP mRNAs and stimulating transcription elongation via resolution of DNA/RNA hybrids. Cell growth arrest triggers nuclear export and degradation of the Microprocessor protein Drosha by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Nedd4, accumulation of DNA/RNA hybrids at RP gene loci, decreased RP synthesis, and ribosome deficiency, hence synchronizing ribosome production with cell growth. Conditional deletion of Drosha in erythroid progenitors phenocopies human ribosomopathies, in which ribosomal insufficiency leads to anemia. Outlining a miRNA-independent role of the Microprocessor complex at the interphase between cell growth and ribosome biogenesis offers a new paradigm by which cells alter their protein biosynthetic capacity and cellular metabolism.
