Improved photobio-H₂ production regulated by artificial miRNA targeting psbA in green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sulfur-deprived cultivation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, referred as "two-stage culture" transferring the cells from regular algal medium to sulfur-deplete one, has been extensively studied to improve photobio-H₂ production in this green microalga. During sulfur-deprivation treatment, the synthesis of a key component of photosystem II complex, D1 protein, was inhibited and improved photobio-H₂ production could be established in C. reinhardtii. However, separation of algal cells from a regular liquid culture medium to a sulfur-deprived one is not only a discontinuous process, but also a cost- and time-consuming operation. More applicable and economic alternatives for sustained H₂ production by C. reinhardtii are still
