摘  要:
Carbon-ion irradiation is a technique for trait improvement in the microalgae, but the underlying mechanisms that how it altered the biomass, and photosynthetic pigments accumulation were unclear. One mutant (DS240G-1) was obtained from Dunaliella salina by heavy ion irradiation mutagenesis. Compared to the wild type, the biomass accumulation and maximum growth rate of DS240G-1 were increased by 34% and 55% respectively, and its beta-carotene content was 21% higher than the wild type. Subsequent analysis of the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters indicated that higher beta-carotene productivity was likely owing to the improved maximum quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) and decreased thermal dissipation of photosynthesis in DS240G-1 than that of wild type during cultivation. In addition, the result of this study revealed that high content of ROS may induce beta-carotene accumulation in mutant DS240G-1. Also, the total fatty acid (TFA) content in mutant DS240G-1 was 79% higher than that in wild type. Owing to its high beta-carotene productivity and total fatty acid content, DS240G-1 could be considered as a promising candidate for microalgae beta-carotene and biodiesel production. This work provided the first insight into the biological effects involved in carbon-ions irradiation on the photosynthetic activity of D. salina.
