Abstract:

Polysaccharides in Chlorella are involved in many important biological activities and physiological functions. To improve the intracellular polysaccharide production of Chlorella, culture conditions were investigated by single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment. The results showed that the maximum polysaccharide accumulation was obtained at MgSO4·7H2O 112.5 mg·L -1, K2HPO4 60 mg·L -1, NaNO3 1.2 g·L -1, VB1 0.5 mg·L -1, and VB12 0.1 μg·L -1. Under these conditions, the polysaccharide production and biomass were 271.74 mg·g -1 and 48.027×10 6cells·mL -1, which increased by 97.49% and 34.91%, respectively. Free radical scavenging rate of the polysaccharide was also studied. The results showed maximum scavenging rates of DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical were 82.32% and 64.27%, respectively.
