Abstract
Inorganic phosphorus is a non-renewable resource and an essential element for life on Earth. Organisms such as algae, protists, and animals can store phosphate (Pi) through uptake of Pi as polyphosphate (poly-P), which is a linear polymer of orthophosphate residues linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. Here, we describe procedures for extraction of total phosphate and poly-P from Parachlorella cells and quantification of orthophosphate based on molybdenum blue assay. The present method may be applicable for other microalgae.
Keywords: Alga (藻类)Background
Biological phosphorus recovery is a particularly attractive form of nutrient recycling. Algae can accumulate phosphate (Pi), and Pi-enriched algal biomass can be used as biofertilizer (Solovchenko et al., 2016). In a previous study, Ota et al. (2016) revealed the relationship between electron dense bodies and poly-P dynamics under sulfur-deficient (-S) conditions in Parachlorella kessleri. Parachlorella is a genus of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae, characterized by a rigid cell wall and an asexual, non-motile life cycle. The protocol presented here allows extraction of total Pi and polyphosphate (poly-P) from Chlorella and quantification of inorganic phosphorus based on molybdenum blue reaction, which is a standard method used to quantify orthophosphate. The theoretical background of the molybdenum blue reaction was reviewed previously by Nagul et al. (2015).
