We isolated bacteria from the phycosphere of Scenedesmus obliques and sequenced 16S rDNAs to establish algae-bacterial co-culture systems. Further, we examined effects of the bacteria on algal growth, and parameters associated with physio-biochemical and oil-producing characteristics of S. obliquus. Seven bacterial strains were isolated, including Micrococcus (strains 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3), Pseudomonas sp. (strains 2-1 and 2-2), Exiguobacterium (strain-3) and Staphylococcus sp. (strain-4). Among them, two bacteria (strain 1-2 and strain 2-1) were characterized as the dominant growth-promoting bacterial strains, which significantly increased algal growth, pigment production, and oil enrichment. After eight days cultivation under microalgal-bacterial (strain 1-2) symbiotic systemat at an initial ratio of 1:10, biomass of S. obliquus was 4.27 g·L-1, about 46.0% higher than that of the control. The contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids were increased by 12.1%, 16.7% and 25.0%, respectively. Oil content was increased by 14.0% and reached to 25.7%, and the oleic acid content was significantly higher than that of the control and up to 16.4%. When co-cultured with Pseudomonas sp. (strain 2-1) for eight days at an initial ratio of 1:5, algal biomass, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids contents were higher than that of the control by 47.9%, 16.0%, 17.5% and 19.9%, respectively. The total oil (27.1%) and oleic acid (18.2%) contents were increased by 20.4% and 64.0%, respectively. We concluded that Micrococcus (strain 1-2) and Pseudomonas sp. (strain 2-1) could significantly promote algal growth and increase oil production by their beneficial interaction with S. obliques, which could be potentially used in commercial production of S. obliques.
从斜生栅藻藻际分离共生菌群并进行16S rDNA序列鉴定,构建藻菌共培养体系,并检测斜生栅藻生长、生理生化及产油特性。共分离出7个菌群/株,包括微球菌(菌株1-1、1-2和1-3)、假单胞菌(菌株2-1和2-2)、微小杆菌(菌株-3)和葡萄球菌(菌株-4)。微球菌(菌株1-2)和假单胞菌(菌株2-1)为优势促生菌株,能显著促进微藻生长及色素和油脂积累。斜生栅藻与微球菌(菌株1-2)1∶10共培养体系培养8 d后,栅藻生物量高达4.27 g·L-1,比对照增加了46.0%;叶绿素a、叶绿素b和类胡萝卜素分别比对照提高12.1%、16.7%和25.0%;含油量为25.7%,比对照增加了14.0%,单不饱和油酸含量(16.4%)也显著高于对照。另一个优异共培养体系是斜生栅藻与假单胞菌(菌株2-1)1∶5共培养体系,在培养8 d后,微藻生物量、叶绿素a、叶绿素b和类胡萝卜素分别比对照提高47.9%、16.0%、17.5%和19.9%;总油脂(27.1%)和单不饱和油酸含量(18.2%)分别比对照增加了20.4%和64.0%。表明藻际共生菌假单胞菌和微球菌可分别与斜生栅藻互作,能够显著促进斜生栅藻生物量和优质油脂的富集,可应用于栅藻商业生产。.
