Kinetic modelling of microalgal growth and fucoxanthin synthesis in photobioreactor
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL REACTOR ENGINEERING(2022)
摘要
This paper presented a mathematical model to describe the production of fucoxanthin by alga Thalassiosira weissflogi ND-8 in photobioreactor. Our interest was focused on characterizing the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus on the growth of microalgae and on the synthesis of fucoxanthin. The rate equations of microalgal growth, fucoxanthin synthesis and substrate consumptions were formulated. Kinetic parameters of the model and their sensitivities with respect to model output were estimated. The predicted results were compared with experimental data, which showed that this model closely agrees with actual experiment and is able to reflect the growth and metabolism characteristics of microalgae. Our results also indicated that nitrogen plays a major role in the synthesis of fucoxanthin, and the synthesis of fucoxanthin is partially linearly related to the consumption of nitrogen. Phosphorus is primarily consumed in the growth and metabolism of microalgal cells, while excessive phosphorus concentration has an inhibitory effect on the growth of microalgae.
