Liu Y, Li S, Wang L, Zhang P, Liu T, Li X. Temperature fluctuation in soil alters the nanoplastic sensitivity in wheat. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 929:172626. [PMID: 38657823 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Despite the wide acknowledgment that plastic pollution and global warming have become serious agricultural concerns, their combined impact on crop growth remains poorly understood. Given the unabated megatrend, a simulated soil warming (SWT, +4 °C) microcosm experiment was carried out to provide a better understanding of the effects of temperature fluctuations on wheat seedlings exposed to nanoplastics (NPs, 1 g L-1 61.71 ± 0.31 nm polystyrene). It was documented that SWT induced oxidative stress in wheat seedlings grown in NPs-contaminated soil, with an 85.56 % increase in root activity, while decreasing plant height, fresh weight, and leaf area by 8.72 %, 47.68 %, and 15.04 % respectively. The SWT also resulted in reduced photosynthetic electron-transfer reaction and Calvin-Benson cycle in NPs-treated plants. Under NPs, SWT stimulated the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) metabolism and bio-oxidation process. The decrease in photosynthesis and the increase in respiration resulted in an 11.94 % decrease in net photosynthetic rate (Pn). These results indicated the complicated interplay between climate change and nanoplastic pollution in crop growth and underscored the potential risk of nanoplastic pollution on crop production in the future climate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid with strong antioxidant capacity. The high demand on astaxanthin by cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical and aquaculture industries promote its value in the biotechnological research. Haematococcus pluvialis Flotow 1844 has been characterized as one of the most promising species for natural astaxanthin biosynthesis. Even though H. pluvialis as an advantage in producing astaxanthin, its slow grow-yield limits usage of the species for large-scale production. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study we generated mutated H. pluvialis strain by using one-step random UV mutagenesis approach for higher biomass production in the green flagellated period and in turn higher astaxanthin accumulation in red stage per unit algae harvest. Isolated mutant strains were tested for the astaxanthin accumulation and yield of biomass. Among tested strains only mutant strain designated as only MT-3-7-2 showed a consistent and higher growth pattern, the rest had shown a fluctuated and then decreased growth rate than wild type. To demonstrate the phenotypical changes in MT-3-7-2 is associated with transcriptome, we carried out comparative analysis of transcriptome profiles between MT-3-7-2 and the wild type strains. De novo assembly was carried out to obtain the transcripts. Differential expression levels for the transcripts were evaluated by functional annotation analysis. CONCLUSIONS Data showed that increased biomass for the MT-3-7-2 strain was different from wild type with expression of transcripts upregulated in carbohydrate metabolism and downregulated in lipid metabolisms. Our data suggests a switching mechanism is enrolled between carbohydrate and lipid metabolism to regulate cell proliferation and stress responses.

Abstract
Astaxanthin (AX), a lipid-soluble pigment belonging to the xanthophyll carotenoids family, has recently garnered significant attention due to its unique physical properties, biochemical attributes, and physiological effects. Originally recognized primarily for its role in imparting the characteristic red-pink color to various organisms, AX is currently experiencing a surge in interest and research. The growing body of literature in this field predominantly focuses on AXs distinctive bioactivities and properties. However, the potential of algae-derived AX as a solution to various global environmental and societal challenges that threaten life on our planet has not received extensive attention. Furthermore, the historical context and the role of AX in nature, as well as its significance in diverse cultures and traditional health practices, have not been comprehensively explored in previous works. This review article embarks on a comprehensive journey through the history leading up to the present, offering insights into the discovery of AX, its chemical and physical attributes, distribution in organisms, and biosynthesis. Additionally, it delves into the intricate realm of health benefits, biofunctional characteristics, and the current market status of AX. By encompassing these multifaceted aspects, this review aims to provide readers with a more profound understanding and a robust foundation for future scientific endeavors directed at addressing societal needs for sustainable nutritional and medicinal solutions. An updated summary of AXs health benefits, its present market status, and potential future applications are also included for a well-rounded perspective.

Abstract
In order to improve CO2 biofixation efficiency of microalgae cultivated with coal-chemical flue gas, CO2 gradient domestication was employed to improve high-concentration CO2 tolerance and photoautotrophic growth of acid-tolerant Euglena gracilis. The dried biomass yield of photoautotrophic growth of E.gracilis increased from 1.09 g/L (wild-type strain) by 21 % to 1.32 g/L with CO2 gradient domestication to 15 % CO2. The RuBisCO activity and biomass production of E.gracilis strain domesticated to 99 % CO2 were 2.63 and 3.4 times higher, respectively, than those of wild-type strain. The chlorophyll a and b contents were 2.52 and 1.79 times higher, respectively, than those of wild-type strain. Superoxide dismutase and catalase activities of 99 % CO2-domesticated strain increased to 1.24 and 6 times, which reduced peroxide damage under high carbon stress and resulted in lower apoptotic and necrotic rates of domesticated strain. Thus, this work provides valuable guidance for CO2 fixation and adaptive evolution of E. gracilis in industrial flue gas.

Abstract
The culture method using sodium acetate and glucose, widely used as organic carbon sources in the mixotrophy of Haematococcus pluvialis, was compared with its autotrophy. In the 12-day culture, mixotrophy using sodium acetate and glucose increased by 40.4% and 77.1%, respectively, compared to autotrophy, but the mechanisms for the increasing biomass were different. The analysis of the mechanism was divided into autotrophic and heterotrophic metabolism. The mixotrophy with glucose increased the biomass by directly supplying the substrate and ATP to the TCA cycle while inhibiting photosynthesis. Gene expressions related to glycolysis and carbon fixation pathway were confirmed in autotrophy and mixotrophy with glucose and acetate. The metabolism predicted in the mixotrophy with acetate and glucose was proposed via autotrophic and heterotrophic metabolism analysis. The mechanism of Haematococcus pluvialis under mixotrophic conditions with high CO2 concentration was confirmed through this study.

Abstract
Nannochloropsis oculata can accumulate large amounts of lipids under rare earth element (REE) conditions. However, the lipid accumulation mechanism responsible for REE stress has not been elucidated. In this study, the effects of cerium (the most abundant REE) on the growth and lipid accumulation of N. oculata were investigated. The de novo transcriptome data of N. oculata under cerium conditions were subsequently collected and analyzed. The results showed that N. oculata exhibited good cerium-resistance ability, showed slightly decrease in biomass but significantly increase in lipid content (55.8 % dry cell weight) under 6.0 mg/L cerium condition. Meanwhile, about 83.4 % cerium was biological fixated. Through transcriptome analysis, we found that the inhibited photosynthesis and carbon fixation pathways coupled with the stress-sensitive expression of ribosome biogenesis genes acclimatized the cells to REE stress. The active glycolysis pathway accelerated carbon flux to pyruvate and acetyl-CoA, and the upregulation of glycerol kinase and phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase genes further induced lipid accumulation. In addition, cerium downregulated the acyl-CoA oxidase and triacylglycerol lipase genes, which inhibited the degradation of lipids. Therefore, different responses to cerium demonstrate how N. oculata cells adapt to REE stress, and this knowledge may be used to extend our understanding of triacylglycerol (TAG) and the synthesis of other important metabolites.

Abstract
Haematococcus pluvialis is the most commercially valuable microalga for the production of natural astaxanthin, showing enhanced production of astaxanthin with the treatments of high-intensity light and hormones. The molecular mechanisms regulating the biosynthesis of astaxanthin in H. pluvialis treated with white light, blue light, and blue light with salicylic acid (SA) were investigated based on the transcriptome analysis. Results showed that the combined treatment with both blue light and SA generated the highest production of astaxanthin. A total of 109,443 unigenes were identified to show that the genes involved in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), and the astaxanthin biosynthesis were significantly upregulated to increase the production of the substrates for the synthesis of astaxanthin, i.e., pyruvate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate generated in the TCA cycle and PPP, respectively. Results of transcriptome analysis were further verified by the quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis, showing that the highest content of astaxanthin was obtained with the expression of the bkt gene significantly increased. Our study provided the novel insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating the synthesis of astaxanthin and an innovative strategy combining the exogenous hormone and physical stress to increase the commercial production of astaxanthin by H. pluvialis.

Abstract
This research appraised the simultaneous biofixation, that is not quite common in scientific literature, of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxides (NOx) by microalgae species Chlorella vulgaris, Haematococcus pluvialis, and Scenedesmus subspicatus. The experimental design was established by five treatments with gas concentrations between control-0.04% of CO2, 5 to 15% of CO2, and 30 to 100 ppm of NOx. Parameters such as pH, growth, productivity, lipids, protein, carbon/ nitrogen ratio, and astaxanthin were evaluated. For all species, the maximal growth and productivity were achieved with 5% of CO2 and 30 ppm of NOx. Regarding protein content, for all the three species, better results were obtained at higher concentrations of CO2 and NOx. These results prove the microalgae capacity for CO2 and NOx biofixation and reuse of biomass as a source of high value-added products, such as lipids, proteins, and astaxanthin. These findings support the indication of these species for flue gas treatment process and use in biorefineries systems.

Abstract
Energy metabolism reprogramming is the characteristic feature of tumors. The tumorigenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance of ovarian cancer (OC) is dependent on energy metabolism. Even under adequate oxygen conditions, OC cells tend to convert glucose to lactate, and glycolysis can rapidly produce ATP to meet their metabolic energy needs. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) interact directly with DNA, RNA, and proteins to function as an essential regulatory in gene expression and tumor pathology. Studies have shown that ncRNAs regulate the process of glycolysis by interacting with the predominant glycolysis enzyme and cellular signaling pathway, participating in tumorigenesis and progression. This review summarizes the mechanism of ncRNAs regulation in glycolysis in OC and investigates potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Haematococcus pluvialis has high economic value because of its high astaxanthin-producing ability. The mutation breeding of Haematococcus pluvialis is an important method to improve the yield of astaxanthin. Fluoridone, an inhibitor of phytoene dehydrogenase, can be used as a screening reagent for mutation breeding of Haematococcus pluvialis. This study describes the effect of fluridone on the biomass, chlorophyll, and astaxanthin content of Haematococcus pluvialis at different growth stages. Five fluridone concentrations (0.00 mg/L, 0.25 mg/L, 0.50 mg/L, 1.00 mg/L, and 2.00 mg/L) were set to treat Haematococcus pluvialis. It was found that fluridone significantly inhibited the growth and accumulation of astaxanthin in the red dormant stage. In addition, transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze the expression of genes related to four metabolic pathways in photosynthesis, carotenoid synthesis, fatty acid metabolism, and cellular antioxidant in algae after fluridone treatment. The results showed that six genes related to photosynthesis were downregulated. FPPS, lcyB genes related to carotenoid synthesis are downregulated, but carotenoid β-cyclic hydroxylase gene (LUT5), which plays a role in the conversion of carotenoid to abscisic acid (ABA), was upregulated, while the expression of phytoene dehydrogenase gene did not change. Two genes related to cell antioxidant capacity were upregulated. In the fatty acid metabolism pathway, the acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene (ACACA) was downregulated in the green stage, but upregulated in the red stage, and the stearoyl-CoA desaturase gene (SAD) was upregulated. According to the transcriptome results, fluridone can affect the astaxanthin accumulation and growth of Haematococcus pluvialis by regulating the synthesis of carotenoids, chlorophyll, fatty acids, and so on. It is expected to be used as a screening agent for the breeding of Haematococcus pluvialis. This research also provides an experimental basis for research on the mechanism of astaxanthin metabolism in Haematococcus pluvialis.

Transcriptomic and Proteomic Characterizations of the Molecular Response to Blue Light and Salicylic Acid in Haematococcus pluvialis. Mar Drugs 2021; 20:md20010001. [PMID: 35049856 PMCID: PMC8780009 DOI: 10.3390/md20010001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Haematococcus pluvialis accumulates a large amount of astaxanthin under various stresses, e.g., blue light and salicylic acid (SA). However, the metabolic response of H. pluvialis to blue light and SA is still unclear. We investigate the effects of blue light and SA on the metabolic response in H. pluvialis using both transcriptomic and proteomic sequencing analyses. The largest numbers of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs; 324) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs; 13,555) were identified on day 2 and day 7 of the treatment with blue light irradiation (150 μmol photons m−2s−1), respectively. With the addition of SA (2.5 mg/L), a total of 63 DEPs and 11,638 DEGs were revealed on day 2 and day 7, respectively. We further analyzed the molecular response in five metabolic pathways related to astaxanthin synthesis, including the astaxanthin synthesis pathway, the fatty acid synthesis pathway, the heme synthesis pathway, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) clearance pathway, and the cell wall biosynthesis pathway. Results show that blue light causes a significant down-regulation of the expression of key genes involved in astaxanthin synthesis and significantly increases the expression of heme oxygenase, which shows decreased expression by the treatment with SA. Our study provides novel insights into the production of astaxanthin by H. pluvialis treated with blue light and SA.

Abstract
The non-model microalga Messastrum gracile SE-MC4 is a potential species for biodiesel production. However, low biomass productivity hinders it from passing the life cycle assessment for biodiesel production. Therefore, the current study was aimed at uncovering the differences in the transcriptome profiles of the microalgae at early exponential and early stationary growth phases and dissecting the roles of specific differential expressed genes (DEGs) involved in cell division during M. gracile cultivation. The transcriptome analysis revealed that the photosynthetic integral membrane protein genes such as photosynthetic antenna protein were severely down-regulated during the stationary growth phase. In addition, the signaling pathways involving transcription, glyoxylate metabolism and carbon metabolism were also down-regulated during stationary growth phase. Current findings suggested that the coordination between photosynthetic integral membrane protein genes, signaling through transcription and carbon metabolism classified as prominent strategies during exponential growth stage. These findings can be applied in genetic improvement of M. gracile for biodiesel application.

Abstract
The microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis attracts attention for its ability to accumulate astaxanthin up to its 4% dry weight under stress conditions, such as high light, salt stress, and nitrogen starvation. Previous researches indicated that the regulation of astaxanthin synthesis might happen at the transcriptional level. However, the transcription regulatory mechanism of astaxanthin synthesis is still unknown in H. pluvialis. Lacking studies on transcription factors (TFs) further hindered from discovering this mechanism. Hence, the transcriptome analysis of H. pluvialis under the high light-sodium acetate stress for 1.5 h was performed in this study, aiming to discover TFs and the regulation on astaxanthin synthesis. In total, 83,869 unigenes were obtained and annotated based on seven databases, including NR, NT, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Orthology, SwissProt, Pfam, Eukaryotic Orthologous Groups, and Gene Ontology. Moreover, 476 TFs belonging to 52 families were annotated by blasting against the PlantTFDB database. By comparing with the control group, 4,367 differentially expressed genes composing of 2,050 upregulated unigenes and 2,317 downregulated unigenes were identified. Most of them were involved in metabolic process, catalytic activity, single-organism process, single-organism cellular process, and single-organism metabolic process. Among them, 28 upregulated TFs and 41 downregulated TFs belonging to 27 TF families were found. The transcription analysis showed that TFs had different transcription modules responding to the high light and sodium acetate stress. Interestingly, six TFs belonging to MYB, MYB_related, NF-YC, Nin-like, and C3H families were found to be involved in the transcription regulation of 27 astaxanthin synthesis-related genes according to the regulatory network. Moreover, these TFs might affect astaxanthin synthesis by directly regulating CrtO, showing that CrtO was the hub gene in astaxanthin synthesis. The present study provided new insight into a global view of TFs and their correlations to astaxanthin synthesis in H. pluvialis.

Abstract
LTP treatment was applied to induce a high-content alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) strain (C-12) from Chlorella sp. L166, the ALA content of C-12 was increased by 48.37%. The mechanism of LTP induction were examined. The results showed that LTP could facilitate pH change, induce malondialdehyde (MDA) production, cause protein leakage, and destroyed the microalgae cells. The genes of C-12 encoding pyruvate dehydrogenase (E2) were up-regulated 2.47-fold, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) down-regulated 0.48-fold compared to the wild type, these changed in the direction of ALA accumulation. Furthermore, the enzymes in DNA replication were significantly up regulated. Take ALA and biomass accumulation into account, LTP technology had a positive effect on ALA accumulation. Global view of metabolic variation also suggested that C-12 had an excellent adaptability to the changes of pH and peroxidation of LTP production. C-12 could be a promising ALA source of alternative materials for it do not compete with land.

Examination of Photo-, Mixo-, and Heterotrophic Cultivation Conditions on Haematococcus pluvialis Cyst Cell Germination. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
The microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis is used for the biotechnological production of astaxanthin. The red carotenoid accumulates in the cytoplasm under unfavorable conditions. Astaxanthin synthesis is associated with the transformation of motile vegetative cells into non-motile cyst cells. In the industrial process, after harvesting, the cyst cells are mechanically disrupted, dried, and finally, astaxanthin is extracted with supercritical CO2. The germination of the cyst cells represents an interesting alternative, replacing the mechanical cyst cell wall disruption. When cyst cells are exposed to favorable growth conditions, germination of the cyst cells occurs and zoospores are released after a certain time. These zoospores show a much weaker cell matrix compared to cyst cells. In this study, germination under phototrophic, mixotrophic, and heterotrophic conditions was examined. Glucose was used as the carbon source for mixotrophic and heterotrophic germination. Applying heterotrophic conditions, up to 80% of the cells were in the zoospore stage 49 h after the start of germination, and extraction yields of up to 50% were achieved using the solvent ethyl acetate for the extraction of astaxanthin from the algal broth containing zoospores. An extraction yield of up to 64% could be achieved by doubling the nitrate concentration and combining mixotrophic and heterotrophic cultivation.

Abstract
Curdlan is a water-insoluble exopolysaccharide produced by Agrobacterium species under nitrogen starvation. The curdlan production in the ΔmdeA, ΔmetA, ΔmetH, and ΔmetZ mutants of methionine biosynthesis pathway of Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546 were significantly impaired. Fermentation profiles of four mutants showed that the consumption of ammonia and sucrose was impaired. Transcriptome analysis of the ΔmetH and ΔmetZ mutants showed that numerous differentially expressed genes involved in the electron transfer chain (ETC) were significantly down-regulated, suggesting that methionine biosynthesis pathway affected the production of energy ATP during the curdlan biosynthesis. Furthermore, metabolomics analysis of the ΔmetH and ΔmetZ mutants showed that ADP and FAD were significantly accumulated, while acetyl-CoA was diminished, suggesting that the impaired curdlan production in the ΔmetH and ΔmetZ mutants might be caused by the insufficient supply of energy ATP. Finally, the addition of both dibasic sodium succinate as a substrate of FAD recycling and methionine significantly restored the curdlan production of four mutants. In conclusion, methionine biosynthesis pathway plays an important role in curdlan biosynthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546, which affected the sufficient supply of energy ATP from the ETC during the curdlan biosynthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The unicellular alga Haematococcus pluvialis has achieved considerable interests for its capacity to accumulate large amounts of triacylglycerol and astaxanthin under various environmental stresses. To our knowledge, studies focusing on transcriptome research of H. pluvialis under exogenous hormones together with physical stresses are rare. In the present study, the change patterns at transcriptome level were analyzed to distinguish the multiple defensive systems of astaxanthin and fatty acid metabolism against exogenous salicylic acid and high light (SAHL) stresses. RESULTS Based on RNA-seq data, a total of 112,463 unigenes and 61,191 genes were annotated in six databases, including NR, KEGG, Swiss-Prot, PFAM, COG and GO. Analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in KEGG identified many transcripts that associated with the biosynthesis of primary and secondary metabolites, photosynthesis, and immune system responses. Furthermore, 705 unigenes predicted as putative transcription factors (TFs) were identified, and the most abundant TFs families were likely to be associated with the biosynthesis of astaxanthin and fatty acid in H. pluvialis upon exposure to SAHL stresses. Additionally, majority of the fifteen key genes involved in astaxanthin and fatty acid biosynthesis pathways presented the same expression pattern, resulting in increased accumulation of astaxanthin and fatty acids in single celled H. pluvialis, in which astaxanthin content increased from 0.56 ± 0.05 mg·L-1 at stage Control to 0.89 ± 0.12 mg·L-1 at stage SAHL_48. And positive correlations were observed among these studied genes by Pearson Correlation (PC) analysis, indicating the coordination between astaxanthin and fatty acid biosynthesis. In addition, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis also demonstrated that this coordination might be at transcriptional level. CONCLUSION The results in this study provided valuable information to illustrate the molecular mechanisms of coordinate relations between astaxanthin and fatty acid biosynthesis. And salicylic acid might play a role in self-protection processes of cells, helping adaption of H. pluvialis to high light stress.

Abstract
To elucidate the mechanism underlying increased fatty acid and astaxanthin accumulation in Haematococcus pluvialis, transcriptome analysis was performed to gain insights into the multiple defensive systems elicited by salicylic acid combined with sodium acetate (SAHS) stresses with a time course. Totally, 112,886 unigenes and 61,323 non-repeat genes were identified, and genes involved in carbon metabolism, primary and secondary metabolism, and immune system responses were identified. The results revealed that SA and NaAC provide both energy and precursors to improve cell growth of H. pluvialis and enhance carbon assimilation, astaxanthin, and fatty acids production in this microalga with an effective mechanism. Interestingly, SA was considered to play an important role in lowering transcriptional activity of the fatty acid and astaxanthin biosynthesis genes through self-protection metabolism in H. pluvialis, leading to its adaption to HS stress and finally avoiding massive cell death. Moreover, positive correlations between 15 key genes involved in astaxanthin and fatty acid biosynthesis pathways were found, revealing cooperative relation between these pathways at the transcription level. These results not only enriched our knowledge of the astaxanthin accumulation mechanism in H. pluvialis but also provided a new view on increasing astaxanthin production in H. pluvialis by a moderate and sustainable way in the future.

Abstract
This study focused on the non-grain biorefining of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) for exopolysaccharide (EPS) efficient production by using Bacillus velezensis LT-2. Results showed that LT-2 could directly utilize JA tuber power (JATP) for EPS production, and its EPS yield reached 11.47 ± 0.33 g/L in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) mode. Furthermore, the SSF mode shortened the fermentation period by 26.67% and reduced the fermentation cost by 79.41% due to the improved substrate utilization and the avoidance of inhibition effects of a high fructose concentration. Transcriptome sequencing results showed that inulin could accelerate nucleotide-sugars biosynthesis, induce EPS synthetic gene cluster transcription, and strengthen the electron transport respiratory chain and the transporter systems, thereby ensuring EPS efficient synthesis. This work exhibited a productive non-grain and environmentally friendly fermentation strategy for EPS biosynthesis, which promoted the JA industry development and created new prospects for high-value industrial products biosynthesis by using JATP.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Haematococcus pluvialis is the best source of natural astaxanthin, known as the king of antioxidants. H. pluvialis have four cell forms: spore, motile cell, non-motile cell and akinete. Spores and motile cells are susceptible to photoinhibition and would die under photoinduction conditions. Photoinduction using non-motile cells as seeds could result in a higher astaxanthin production than that using akinetes. However, the mechanism of this phenomenon has not been clarified.
Results
Transcriptome was sequenced and annotated to illustrate the mechanism of this phenomenon. All differentially expressed genes involved in astaxanthin biosynthesis were up-regulated. Particularly, chyb gene was up-regulated by 16-fold, improving the conversion of β-carotene into astaxanthin. Pyruvate was the precursor of carotenoids biosynthesis. Pyruvate kinase gene expression level was increased by 2.0-fold at the early stage of akinetes formation. More changes of gene transcription occurred at the early stage of akinetes formation, 52.7% and 51.9% of total DEGs in control group and treatment group, respectively.
Conclusions
Genes transcription network was constructed and the synthesis mechanism of astaxanthin was clarified. The results are expected to further guide the in-depth optimization of the astaxanthin production process in H. pluvialis by improving pyruvate metabolism.

Abstract
Biological CO2 capture using microalgae is a promising new method for reducing CO2 emission of coal-fired flue gas. The strain of microalgae used in this process plays a vital role in determining the rate of CO2 fixation and characteristics of biomass production. High requirements are put forward for algae strains due to high CO2 concentration and diverse pollutants in flue gas. CO2 can directly diffuse into the cytoplasm of cells by extra- and intracellular CO2 osmotic pressure under high CO2 concentrations. The flue gas pollutants, such as SOx, NOx and fly ashes, have negative effects on the growth of microalgae. This work reviewed the state-of-the-art advances on microalgae strains used for CO2 fixation, focusing on the modification and improvement of strains that are used for coal-fired flue gas. Methods such as genetic engineering, random mutagenesis, and adaptive evolution have the potential to facilitate photosynthesis, improve growth rate and reduce CO2 emission.

Abstract
In this study, the performance of Chlorococcum sp. GD in synthetic medium with different glucose concentrations (ranging from 1 to10 g/L) was investigated. Moreover, transcriptome sequencing was conducted to clarify the response of the microalga to glucose concentrations. High concentration of glucose (6-10 g/L) not only did not provide a higher yield of biomass but also inhibited photosynthesis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the glucose metabolism mainly depended on the glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) as the microalga was cultivated with 10 g/L glucose. Meanwhile the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis were significantly inhibited. The significant change on carbon metabolic flux caused by the increase in glucose concentration affected the synthesis of reducing power and ATP, which ultimately influenced the growth of the microalga. Appropriate supplement of organic carbon not only enhances the biomass accumulation but also increases the utilization efficiency of organic carbon.

Abstract
This work focuses on the development of non-food fermentation for the cost-effective biosynthesis of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by using a new strain of Kosakonia cowanii LT-1. This novel strain more efficiently utilizes sucrose for EPS production than other glycosyl donors. Comparative transcriptomic analysis is used to understand EPS synthesis promotion and the effects of sucrose on EPS biosynthesis. We speculate that ATP-binding cassette transporter, phosphotransferase, and two-component systems may be the most essential factors for EPS biosynthesis. The enhanced oxidative phosphorylation increases the synthesis rate of ATP to satisfy the energy demands for EPS production with sucrose as the substrate. Sugarcane juice, a cheap raw material, could improve the EPS yield in batch fermentation and achieve approximately 29.66% cost savings for substrate. Our work presents a promising non-food fermentation approach for the synthesis of high-value industrial products.

Abstract
Enhancement of stress tolerance to high concentration of salt and CO2 is beneficial for CO2 capture by microalgae. Adaptive evolution was performed for improving the tolerance of a freshwater strain, Chlorella sp. AE10, to 30 g/L salt. A resulting strain denoted as Chlorella sp. S30 was obtained after 46 cycles (138 days). The stress tolerance mechanism was analyzed by comparative transcriptomic analysis. Although the evolved strain could tolerate 30 g/L salt, high salinity caused loss to photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid biosynthesis and tyrosine metabolism. The related genes of antioxidant enzymes, CO2 fixation, amino acid biosynthesis, central carbon metabolism and ABC transporter proteins were up-regulated. Besides the up-regulation of several genes in Calvin-Benson cycle, they were also identified in C4 photosynthetic pathway and crassulacean acid metabolism pathway. They were essential for the survival and CO2 fixation of Chlorella sp. S30 under 30 g/L salt and 10% CO2.

Abstract
Microalgae are renewable feedstock for sustainable biofuel production, cell factory for valuable chemicals and promising in alleviation of greenhouse gas CO2. However, the carbon assimilation capacity is still the bottleneck for higher productivity. Molecular characterization of CO2 sequestration and assimilation in microalgae has advanced in the past few years and are reviewed here. In some cyanobacteria, genes for 2-oxoglytarate dehydrogenase was replaced by four alternative mechanisms to fulfill TCA cycle. In green algae Coccomyxa subellipsoidea C-169, alternative carbon assimilation pathway was upregulated under high CO2 conditions. These advances thus provide new insights and new targets for accelerating CO2 sequestration rate and enhancing bioproduct synthesis in microalgae. When integrated with conventional parameter optimization, molecular approach for microalgae modification targeting at different levels is promising in generating value-added chemicals from green algae and cyanobacteria efficiently in the near future.

Abstract
In vivo spatiotemporal dynamics of lipids and astaxanthin evolution in Haematococcus pluvialis mutant induced with 15% CO2 and high light intensity were monitored with high spatial resolution in a non-destructive and label-free manner using single-cell Raman imaging. Astaxanthin intensity increased by 3.5 times within 12h under 15% CO2, and the accumulation rate was 5.8 times higher than that under air. Lipids intensity under 15% CO2 was 27% higher than that under air. The lipids initially concentrated in chloroplast under 15% CO2 due to an increase of directly photosynthetic fatty acid, which was different from the whole-cell dispersed lipids under air. Astaxanthin produced in chloroplast first accumulated around nucleus and then spread in cytoplasmic lipids under both air and 15% CO2. The calculation results of kinetic models for lipids and astaxanthin evolutions showed that accumulation rate of lipids was much higher than that of astaxanthin in cells.
