Manipulation of Metabolic Pathways in the Halotolerant Unicellular Green Alga Dunaliella salina 19/30 by Observing the Glycerol Production as an Example of a Potential Industrial Process and Commercial Production of Glycerol in the UK
Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2018, Vol 30, Issue 30
Abstract
We report the environmental regulation of a metabolic pathway in Dunaliella salina to understand that the physiological basis of salt tolerance in the alga is the synthesis/removal of intracellular glycerol. The unicellular alga Dunaliella thrives in environments with very high salt concentrations, accumulating large amounts of commercially important chemicals such as β-carotene and glycerol and neutral lipids for biofuel. We determine glycerol levels using acetylacetone method. The goal was to evaluate D. salina with regard to its suitability for commercial production of glycerol.
