Tiivistelmä
This study demonstrates that, besides sulfur deprivation, sustained H-2 photoproduction in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cultures can be generated by incubating algae under phosphorus-deprived (-P) conditions. However, phosphorus deficiency in algal cells could not be obtained by resuspension of algae in -P medium, evidently due to a significant reserve of phosphorus in cells. In this study, phosphorus deficiency was accomplished by inoculating the washed algae into the -P medium at low initial cell densities (below 2 mg Chl l(-1)). After the initial growth period, where cells utilize intracellular phosphorus, algae established anaerobic environment followed by the period of H-2 photoproduction. The maximum H-2 output (similar to 70 ml l(-1)) was obtained in cultures with the initial Chl content similar to 1 mg l(-1). Cultures with Chl above 2 mg l(-1) did not produce H-2 gas. The physiological response of algal cultures to phosphorus deprivation demonstrated significant similarities with the response of algae to sulfur depletion.
