Abstract Background Low concentration NaHCO3 (ca. 12 mM) had been demonstrated to be an excellent carbon source for industrially important green alga Chlorella vulgaris and high concentration NaHCO3 (e.g. 160 mM) had been shown to be capable of controlling protozoa and stimulating lipid accumulation of another green alga, i.e., Neochloris oleoabundans. Furthermore, little was known about the mechanisms of the effects of NaHCO3 on microalgae. Thorough studies on the effects of high NaHCO3 on C. vulgaris and their mechanisms were therefore warranted. Methods We systematically compared the cell growth, lipid production, and cell morphology of the industrially important C. vulgaris in 160 mM NaHCO3 or 160 mM NaCl media at different pH levels. These data allowed us to analyze the effects of total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and individual DIC species on C. vulgaris. Cell growth of C. vulgaris at a range of concentrations at 160 mM or lower was also studied. Results Cellular lipid cell content of 494 mg g−1 and lipid productivity of 44.5 mg L−1 day−1 were obtained at 160 mM NaHCO3 and pH 9.5. High concentration NaHCO3 (e.g. 160 mM) was inhibitive to cell growth but stimulating to lipid accumulation and caused unicellular C. vulgaris to transfer to colonial cells. Increasing pH in the range of 7.5–9.5 caused increasing inhibition to cell growth in 160 mM NaCl. Whereas the optimal pH for cell growth was 8.5 for 160 mM NaHCO3 cultures. Comparative experiments with 0–160 mM NaHCO3 indicate that 10 mM was the optimal concentration and increasing NaHCO3 from 10 to 160 mM caused increasing inhibition to cell growth. Conclusions High concentration DIC was inhibitor to cell growth but stimulator to lipid accumulation of C. vulgaris. It caused unicellular C. vulgaris to transform to colonial cells. Results suggest that high concentration of a particular DIC species, i.e., dCO2, was the primary stress responsible for cell growth inhibition. Where CO3 2− was likely the DIC species responsible for lipid stimulation of C. vulgaris. Furthermore, we propose that the colony formation at high DIC conditions was employed by C. vulgaris to mitigate the stress by minimizing cell exposure to unfavorable environment. |
