Resumen
Biodiesel production from the microalgal oil of the estuarine diatom Halamphora coffeaeformis has proven to be technically viable. However, a fuller understanding of the environmental factors that regulate its tolerance and neutral lipid accumulation is required for improved mass cultivation in seawater-based outdoor raceway ponds. Meteorological conditions and evaporation processes can significantly influence factors such as the salt levels, water temperature and nutrient and light availability in these systems. Laboratory experiments with H. coffeaeformis growing in f/2 medium were therefore carried out in order to evaluate the effect of temperature and salinity on its growth and tolerance ranges and the effect of salinity on its total lipid and lipid fraction content and fatty acid methyl ester profile. Results indicate that the temperature and salinity ranges of the species were 5 °C to 30 °C and 5‰ to 95‰, respectively. The optimum temperature was between 20 and 25 °C, and the optimum salinity was 20‰. Neutral lipid accumulation increased in cells adapted at 45‰ with respect to those growing at 20‰. Total lipid composition at 45 ‰ was characterized by 85.5% neutral lipids, 2.5% phospholipids and a high percentage of C16.1 (36.4% of total fatty acids). These properties are important for an adequate quality of biodiesel. The eurytolerant behaviour of H. coffeaeformis and the effect of salinity stress on its growth and neutral lipid accumulation are demonstrated. The findings indicate the beneficial attributes of this strain for the development and feasibility of seawater-based outdoor raceway ponds for biodiesel production.
