This study aimed to understand the diverse effects of different high concentrations of CO2 on the physiological mechanisms of microalgae. It found that high concentrations of CO2 have an independent influence on microalgal cells, inhibiting growth and inducing cell death. However, moderately high concentrations of CO2 can achieve optimal microalgal biomass yield and fixed carbon content.
Carbon fixation from industrial flue gas with high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) requires a compre-hensive and systematic understanding of the physiological influences of CO2 molecules on microalgal cells. Differing from other previous studies, this study tried to reveal the diverse effects of different high concentrations of CO2 molecules on the physiological mechanisms of microalgae: Three physiological models were established to clarify the photosynthetic features, regulatory systems, metabolic mechanisms, and key enzymes of Nanno-chloropsis oceanica based solely on different high carbon concentrations in an unvarying environment. An in-dependent influence (irrespective of pH changes) on microalgal cells was only found at high concentrations of CO2. The inhibition of auxin synthesis and an increase in sedatives and hallucinogens owing to the regulation of tryptamine metabolism induced stagnation of growth with slightly high carbon. However, cell division, and carbon and protein metabolism became too active at ultra-high concentrations of carbon, which induced multiple cell death factors, including the destruction of cell integrity from expansins, insulin resistance, and hepatotoxin D- galactosamine toxicity. Moderately high carbon achieved the optimal microalgal biomass yield (3.2 g/L) and fixed the carbon content (61%) in dried biomass for several reasons. It reduced cell division, provided an active carboxylic acid cycle to store abundant CO2, initiated an effective urea cycle and ammonia transport to inhibit the generation of D-galactosamine, and induced DNA repair and antioxidant flavonoids to eliminate the damage from high concentrations of CO2. This study provides new theoretical support to improve the tolerance of microalgae to high CO2 from industrial flue gas.
