A Two-Stage Culture Strategy for <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp. FSP3 for CO<sub>2</sub> Fixation and the Simultaneous Production of Lutein under Light and Salt Stress

In this study, <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp. FSP3 was cultured using a two-stage culture strategy for CO<sub>2</sub> fixation and lutein production. During the first stage, propylene carbonate was added to the medium, with 5% CO<sub>2</sub> introduced to promote the rapi...

description In this study, <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp. FSP3 was cultured using a two-stage culture strategy for CO<sub>2</sub> fixation and lutein production. During the first stage, propylene carbonate was added to the medium, with 5% CO<sub>2</sub> introduced to promote the rapid growth and CO<sub>2</sub> fixation of the microalgae. During the second stage of cultivation, a NaCl concentration of 156 mmol L<sup>−1</sup> and a light intensity of 160 μmol m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> were used to stimulate the accumulation of lutein in the microalgal cells. By using this culture method, high lutein production and CO<sub>2</sub> fixation were simultaneously achieved. The biomass productivity and carbon fixation rate of <i>Scenedesmus</i> sp. FSP3 reached 0.58 g L<sup>−1</sup> d<sup>−1</sup> and 1.09 g L<sup>−1</sup> d<sup>−1</sup>, with a lutein content and yield as high as 6.45 mg g<sup>−1</sup> and 2.30 mg L<sup>−1</sup> d<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. The results reveal a commercially feasible way to integrate microalgal lutein production with CO<sub>2</sub> fixation processes.
