摘要
The carbohydrate composition of the algal cell wall was investigated for its role in cell flocculation. Cultures of Chlorella variabilis NC64A, which were found to have different levels of neutral sugar, uronic acid and amino sugar in the cell wall when cultured in different nitrogen sources and concentrations, were subjected to flocculation with chitosan at dosages of 0-69.6 mg/l and pH values of 5.5, 7 and 8.5. In addition, flocculations of another three strains of Chlorella, which have different levels of cell wall components, were tested. Flocculation improved for all strains at pH 8.5 suggesting that inter molecular forces such as hydrogen bonding might be more important than charge neutralization in the flocculation of Chlorella. Total carbohydrate content in the cell wall was the most significant factor positively affecting the flocculation efficiency of C. variabilis NC64A cells with different cell wall compositions and the other Chlorella strains. The results presented in this study suggest that chitosan flocculation can be improved by optimizing the cell culture conditions to achieve higher cell wall polysaccharide content or selecting an algal strain with higher cell wall polysaccharide content.
