Abstract

Abstract Euglena sp. is a unicellular, flagellated microalga considered one of the most promising microalgal feedstock species for biofuels. Reducing  the  level  of  liquid waste pollutants  can be  done  biologically  by  using  microalgal  organisms. Its metabolites, including lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and pigments, are appropriate for producing biorefinery products such as biodiesel and jet fuels. They can be isolated from extreme environments, such as highly acidic and ammonia-rich environments, that are not conducive to their proliferation. This study sought to determine the effect of the photoperiod or (light: dark) cycle (24 L:0 D, 12 L:12 D, 14 L:10 D, and 16 L:8 D) on the growth, biomass, metabolite content consisting of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, and the rate of CO­2 uptake by Euglena sp. As stated previously, the study was conducted by cultivating Euglena sp. on a laboratory scale with four photoperiod regimens. The results indicated that optimal growth, biomass content, and metabolite content were obtained with a 24 D:0 L lighting cycle. The control treatment (24 L: 0 D) had the highest biomass productivity (0.032 g.L-1.day-1 ± 0.004), lipid content (0.387 g.L-1 ± 0.031), protein content (0.542 mg.Ml-1 ± 0.007), carbohydrate content (0.409 x104 g.L-1), chlorophyll a (6.237 g.L-1 ± 0.184), chlorophyll b (2.838 g.L-1 ± 0.253), and total carotenoid (1.566 g.L-1 ± 0.105). Full light illumination (24 L:0 D) was significantly producing carotenoid content, including phaeophytin a, phaeophytin b, violaxanthin, 9'-cis-neoxanthin, dino xanthin, and fucoxanthin. Highlight Research The growth rate was higher when Euglena was cultivated under continuous illumination. The biomass productivity of Euglena increased significantly under continuous illumination. The metabolite content of Euglena (lipids, proteins, and pigments) was higher in continuous illumination.

Abstract

Graphical Abstract   Highlight Research  Bioflocculation technique can improve the harvesting effectiveness of semimass culture of Euglena sp. The addition of E. texensis can significantly increase the flocculation efficiency of Euglena sp. The addition of commercial chitosan was able to increase the flocculation efficiency of Euglena sp. The biomass and lipid content produced by Euglena sp. with E. texensis flocculant agent showed higher results than the biomass and lipid content produced by Euglena sp. with commercial chitosan flocculant agent.   Abstract Euglena sp. has a high potential to be developed as biofuel. However, the high cost and energy required for the harvesting process are hindering the production. Flocculation using natural substances, such as microorganisms and biopolymers, offers a promising solution to minimize energy and production costs, so it is applicable on a mass scale. Ettlia texensis is one of the autoflocculating microalgae that can excrete extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Chitosan is a linear copolymer of D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine produced by the deacetylation of chitin, which is usually exploited by marine crustaceans, shrimp, and crabs. Chitosan has a very high cation load, so it is often used for coagulation or flocculation. This study explores the potential of E. texensis and chitosan as flocculant agents to harvest the mass culture of Euglena sp. by giving different doses E. texensis with 1:0.25 (E3), 1:0.5 (E4), 1:1 (E5), and 1:2 (E6), and chitosan with 1.25 mg (C1), 2.5 mg (C2), 3.75 mg (C3), and 5 mg (C4). This research began with the cultivation of Euglena sp. and E. texensis on a 50 L scale for 12 days. The effectiveness of flocculation was measured by the spectrophotometric method. Based on this research, the best treatment for harvesting Euglena sp. culture by bioflocculation was shown by the addition of chitosan (5 mg) with the recovery of 84.83%, 0.2213 mg/mL biomass, and 0.2117 mg/mL lipid content. Meanwhile, with E.  texensis, the best was shown by the ratio of 1:2 with recovery 84.71%, 0.2053 mg/mL biomass, and 0.1753 mg/mL
