Space Algae-2 Ground and Lunar Analog Studies in Preparation for Long-Duration Propagation of Cyanobacteria in Spaceflight

There are numerous applications for microalgae in spaceflight missions and on Earth, such as oxygen production, carbon dioxide removal, nutrition, wastewater processing, and biofuel production. Space Algae-2 aims to test the genetic stability of Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as spirulina, during six-months of continuous culture on the International Space Station. Long-duration exposure to ionizing radiation and microgravity may impact growth, nutrient composition, and genetic stability. The high protein, vitamin, antioxidant content, and radiation resistance make spirulina a promising candidate for bioregenerative life support systems. A concept of operations was developed to grow and harvest algal biomass in space. Preflight testing experiments optimized conditions for an extended growth period in a gas permeable bioreactor bag. Preflight and post-harvest storage methods were developed in addition to a novel cryopreservation method. After sample return, multi-omics analysis will be conducted to determine the mutation rate, gene expression, and the protein and metabolite profile. The concept of operations for Space Algae-2 was tested during a lunar mission simulation within a semi-controlled environment. During a six-day lunar analog mission at the Hawai’i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) A. platensis was successfully grown using flight-like hardware. The cyanobacteria were harvested and used to supplement bread as an example of spirulina biomass utilization. Overall, the data collected from Space Algae-2 will inform potential bioengineering of spirulina for space and terrestrial applications.

Chapter 5: Methods for Algal Protein Isolation and Proteome Analysis

Microalgae present promising feedstocks to produce renewable fuel and chemical intermediates, in part due to high storage carbon flux capacity to triacylglycerides or storage carbohydrates upon nutrient deprivation. However, the mechanism(s) governing deprivation-mediated carbon partitioning remain to be fully elucidated, limiting targeted strain engineering strategies in algal biocatalysts. Though genomic and transcriptomic analyses offer key insights into these mechanisms, active post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms, ubiquitous in many microalgae, necessitate proteomic and post-translational (e.g., phospho- and nitroso-proteomic) analyses to more completely evaluate algal responsiveness to nutrient deprivation. Herein, we describe methods for isolating total algal protein and conducting proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and nitrosoproteomic analyses. We focus on methods deployed for the chlorophyte, Chlorella vulgaris, a model oleaginous alga with high flux to renewable fuel and chemical precursors.

Decision-Model Supported Algal Cultivation Process Enhancement (DMSACPE) (Final Technical Report)

This project was proposed in response to the FY19 Bioenergy Technologies Office Multi-Topic Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0002029, Area of Interest Subtopic 1 (AOI1): Cultivation Intensification Processes for Algae. The main challenge identified by the FOA was “in translating results between laboratory research systems and larger-scale outdoor (or mass culture) systems. These difficulties limit reliable experimental durations, adequate and representative experimental volumes of material, and results that can be reproduced reliably. By overcoming the challenge in translating results between laboratory and mass cultures, the objective of AOI 1 is to increase the harvest yield, robustness, and quality of algae cultivation for biofuels and bioproducts”. This report marks the final technical deliverable of this project and reviews all the major findings of the research program.

Benefits of Microalgae for Human Space Exploration

Algae have long been known to offer a number of benefits to support long duration human space exploration. Algae contain proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins, and lipids needed for human consumption, and can be produced using waste streams, while consuming carbon dioxide, and producing oxygen. In comparison with higher plants, algae have higher growth rates, fewer environmental requirements, produce far less "waste" tissue, and are resistant to digestion and/or biodegradation. As an additional benefit, algae produce many components (fatty acids, H2, etc.) which are useful as biofuels. On Earth, micro-algae survive in many harsh environments including low humidity, extremes in temperature, pH, and as well as high salinity and solar radiation. Algae have been shown to survive inmicro-gravity, and can adapt to high and low light intensity while retaining their ability to perform nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis. Studies have demonstrated that some algae are resistant to the space radiation environment, including solar ultraviolet radiation. It remains to be experimentally demonstrated, however, that an algal-based system could fulfil the requirements for a space-based Bioregenerative Life Support System (BLSS) under comparable spaceflight power, mass, and environmental constraints. Two specific challenges facing algae cultivation in space are that (i) conventional growth platforms require large masses of water, which in turn require a large amount of propulsion fuel, and (ii) most nutrient delivery mechanisms (predominantly bubbling) are dependent on gravity. To address these challenges, we have constructed a low water biofilm based bioreactor whose operation is enabled by capillary forces. Preliminary characterization of this Surface Adhering BioReactor (SABR) suggests that it can serve as a platform for cultivating algae in space which requires about 10 times less mass than conventional reactors without sacrificing growth rate. Further work is necessary to compare the performance of microalgae-based systems, including SABR, with systems based on higher plants, as well as conventional physicochemical-based systems. Ongoing and future work in our laboratory is therefore directed determining the feasibility of using algae as a component of a BLSS in space.

Growth, total lipid, and omega-3 fatty acid production by Nannochloropsis spp. cultivated with raw plant substrate

Improving productivity and lipid concentration in microalgae is important for the economic success of both biofuel and microalgae coproducts production. Nannochloropsis spp. are marine microalgae currently being grown at large-scale for the production of biofuel and lipid coproducts. In this work, we demonstrate improvements of growth and omega-3 production in Nannochloropsis gaditana CCMP526 and Nannochloropsis oceanica CCAP849/10 with plant substrate addition, a potentially economical option for increasing microalgal productivity. Furthermore, we examine growth in the presence of corn stover, switchgrass, sugarcane bagasse, and yard waste. By examining the microbial ecology of N. gaditana cultures with and without plant substrate and with and without antibiotics, we discovered a potential bacterial interaction in these cultures, but its presence is not necessary for algal growth improvements in the presence of plant substrate. Analysis of plant substrate morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after cultivation in media with and without N. gaditana shows a degradation of specific plant structural features and a colonization of the plant phloem by N. gaditana. An examination of N. gaditana in a Congo red plate assay indicates potential cellulolytic activity, but a preliminary examination of the potential cellulase transcripts does not reveal differential expression of a candidate in the presence of plant. This evidence demonstrates potential raw plant utilization by a marine microalga for increased productivity and provides a potentially economical option for increasing coproduct concentration at industrial scale without genetic engineering.

Supply Chain Sustainability Analysis of Renewable Hydrocarbon Fuels via Indirect Liquefaction, Ex Situ Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis, Hydrothermal Liquefaction, Combined Algal Processing, and Biochemical Conversion: Update of the 2020 State-of-Technology Cases

This technical report describes the SCSAs for the production of renewable hydrocarbon transportation fuels via a range of conversion technologies in the 2020 SOTs: (1) renewable high octane gasoline (HOG) via indirect liquefaction (IDL) of woody lignocellulosic biomass (note that the IDL pathway in this SCSA represents the syngas conversion design); (2) renewable gasoline (RG) and diesel (RD) blendstocks via ex situ catalytic fast pyrolysis of woody lignocellulosic biomass; (3) RD via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of wet sludge from a wastewater treatment plant; (4) renewable hydrocarbon fuels via biochemical conversion of herbaceous lignocellulosic biomass; (5) renewable diesel via HTL of a blend of algae and woody biomass; and (6) renewable diesel via combined algae processing (CAP). This technical report focuses on the environmental performance of these six biofuel production pathways in their 2020 SOT cases. The results of these renewable hydrocarbon fuel pathways in these SCSA analyses update those for the respective 2019 SOT cases. They also provide an opportunity to examine the impact of technology improvements in both biomass feedstock production and biofuel production that have been achieved in 2020 SOTs on the sustainability performance of these renewable transportation fuels. The SCSA results also reflect updates to Argonne National Laboratory’s Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies (GREET ® ) model, which was released in October 2020. These GREET updates include the production of natural gas, electricity, and petroleum-based fuels that can influence biofuels’ supply chain greenhouse gas (GHG) (CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O) emissions, water consumption, and air pollutant emissions. GHG emissions, water consumption, and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions are the main sustainability metrics assessed in this analysis. In this analysis, we define water consumption as the amount of water withdrawn from a freshwater source that is not returned (or returnable) to a freshwater source at the same level of quality. Life-cycle fossil energy consumption and net energy balance, which is the life-cycle fossil energy consumption deducted from the renewable biofuel energy produced, are also assessed.

Optimized production of a bioactive human recombinant protein from the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii grown at high density in a fed-batch bioreactor

Microalgae have been identified as an alternative platform to produce high-quality biomass and subsequent bioproducts, such as foods, feeds, nutritional supplements, recombinant proteins, and biofuels. Traditional biotechnological hosts for therapeutic proteins, such as the bacteria Escherichia coli and mammalian CHO cells, have long been established as the dominate platforms, but recent advances have shown that microalgae can potentially serve as an alternative platform. In the present study, we examine the potential of the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to produce a complex human recombinant protein in a high-density heterotrophic culture. The recombinant human protein, ICAM-1, was targeted for secretion to the extracellular media of the culture from cells grown in a bioreactor using a fed-batch strategy to achieve high cell density. Ultimately, this resulted in a maximum biomass titer of 40 g/L and a recombinant protein titer of 50 mg/L. The algal-produced ICAM-1 protein showed comparable bioactivity to mammalian cell culture produced ICAM-1, as measured using binding assays for its native ligand LFA-1. This work shows that C. reinhardtii is a viable option to produce complex recombinant proteins, with native biological activity, at high concentrations using a fed batch heterotrophic growth strategy.

Algal Feedstock Logistics and Handling

The project aims to study wet, anaerobic storage to mitigate seasonal variation in algae productivity to reduce the risk of feedstock loos prior to conversion and to study how to enable the storage period to be used to add value to algae biomass without affecting the final fuel's yield or quality. This project will take the approach of engaging in stability research that addresses seasonal variability in production and that which provides opportunities to add value to algae biomass prior to conversion as well as to gain a fundamental understanding of post-harvest algae physiology to support cultivation gains.

Adaptive laboratory evolution for increased temperature tolerance of the diatom Nitzschia inconspicua

Abstract Outdoor microalgal cultivation for the production of valuable biofuels and bioproducts typically requires high insolation and strains with high thermal (>37°C) tolerance. While some strains are naturally thermotolerant, other strains of interest require improved performance at elevated temperatures to enhance industrial viability. In this study, adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) was performed for over 300 days using consecutive 0.5°C temperature increases in a constant temperature incubator to attain greater thermal tolerance in the industrially relevant diatom Nitzschia inconspicua str. Hildebrandi. The adapted strain was able to grow at a constant temperature of 37.5°C; whereas this constant temperature was lethal to the parental control, which had an upper‐temperature boundary of 35.5°C before adaptive evolution. Several high‐temperature clonal isolates were obtained from the evolved population following ALE, and increased temperature tolerance was observed in the clonal, parent, and non‐clonal adapted cultures. This ALE method demonstrates the development of enhanced industrial algal strains without the production of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Adaptive Laboratory Evolution for algal strain improvement: methodologies and applications

Originally developed in bacterial and fungal models, Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) experimentally selects for targeted phenotypes by allowing cells containing beneficial random genetic mutations to replicate more quickly in the presence of environmental stress. When applied to microalgae, this technique has been used to increase growth rate, stress tolerance, substrate utilization, and product yield. This review discusses ALE experimental design parameters, and summarizes key results and lessons learned from recent microalgal ALE studies. By documenting the current state of the field, we provide insight on the ways microalgal ALE might be used to develop commercially viable biotechnology strains.

Continuous measurements of volatile gases as detection of algae crop health

Wide adoption of algae cultivation to produce environmentally sustainable biofuels and fine chemicals is currently hampered by large losses (10 to 30%) incurred by grazer infections. We show the usage of real-time chemical ionization mass spectrometry to rapidly identify gaseous indicators of grazer infections in cyanobacteria cultures. Grazing was detected significantly faster (up to 3 d) using real-time mass spectrometry than the current methods of microscopy and qPCR. By employing this technology, cultivators may be empowered to treat grazer infestations sooner, thereby protecting the crop and enhancing profitability.

Decarbonization of Wastewater Treatment with Microalgae Processes.

Microalgae can contribute to the decarbonization of wastewater treatment by municipalities, industries and agriculture, by substituting sunlight for energy intensive conventional treatment processes, while capturing nutrients and carbon in the algal biomass. The carbon fixed into the algal biomass can be converted to renewable natural gas (RNG) using anaerobic digestion or into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), with greatly reduce the carbon footprints compared to conventional fuels. Bioplastics, biofertilizers and other bioproducts from microalgae biomass also provide potential benefits in greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and domestic supply chains. Microalgae technologies can counter eutrophication caused by harmful algal blooms by recovering nutrients, N and P, from wastewaters, and even from very low nutrient concentrations found in surface waters. CO2 is required in microalgae cultivation and wastewater treatment to support maximal rates of the photosynthesis, with the CO2 obtained from the wastes themselves, other local sources or even atmospheric CO2. Greenhouse gas mitigation with microalgae processes is based on life cycle assessments, comparing such green processes with current energy intensive wastewater treatment, and nutrient reduction technologies. Microalgae technologies are specifically relevant to smaller, often disadvantaged, communities, where currently about 5,000 algae wastewater treatment ponds are operated by public utilities with many more are operated by industries. However, many, if not most, of these pond facilities require urgent technology upgrades to achieve the potential and goals of low cost GHG mitigation and efficient nutrient recycling. MicroBio Engineering Inc. is developing and has demonstrated several technologies that combine innovative carbon mitigation and decarbonization technologies for a circular economy, with longer-term potential for large-scale biofuels and biofertilizer production.
