Growth Rate of Phaeodactylum tricornutum.
Phaeodactylum tricornutumは海洋性の珪藻で, ミリスチン酸やエイコサペンタエン酸等の脂質を7-35wt%含んでいる.この珪藻の藻体数は10日間で約1000倍に増殖し, その速度は早いため, 近年P. tricornutumは石油の代替エネルギーとして大きな関心が寄せられている.本研究では, P. tricornutumを人工海水中で, 炭素源として空気をバブリングさせ, 24時間単位で明暗の時間を変えて回分培養を行った.最適操作条件として, 温度20℃, 培養液1l当り空気量2l/min, 光は培養槽底部から上部にあて, 底部の照度は10000lx以上, であった.これらの条件で培養実験を行った結果, P.

Here, using the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum as a model organism, the authors combine functional genomics, phylogenetics, and metabolic modeling to describe how diatoms might have functionally integrated nitrogen metabolism during evolution and how ...

Investigating mixotrophic metabolism in the model diatomPhaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
Diatoms are prominent marine microalgae, interesting not only from an ecological point of view, but also for their possible use in biotechnology applications. They can be cultivated in phototrophic conditions, using sunlight as the sole energy source.

Domoic Acid Oxidative Effects on the Microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum
Domoic acid (DA) is a natural occurring marine biotoxin. Oxidative stress generation due to DA exposure was reported in animals, but little is known on the phytoplankton community. The aim of this work was to verify whether exposure to DA in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum favors reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the intracellular

Action Spectrum of Photoinhibition in the Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
Light-dependent electron transfer is necessary for photosynthesis, but light also damages PSII. Light-induced damage to PSII is called photoinhibition, and the damaging reactions of photoinhibition are still under debate. Diatoms possess an exotic combination of light-harvesting pigments, Chls a/c and fucoxanthin, making them an interesting platform ...

Geraniol is a commercially-relevant plant-derived monoterpenoid that is a main component of rose essential oil and used as insect repellent. Geraniol is also a key intermediate compound in the biosynthesis of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), a ...
