O-18　The development of the hybrid methods using the closed and open marine diatoms cultivation systems

Abstract

This study aims to establish the hybrid methods using the closed and open microalgal cultivation systems for stable mass production of the biomass of marine diatoms Fistulifera solaris JPCC DA580 and Mayamaea sp. JPCC CTDA0820. We will improve the productivity of the diatom biomass by employing a wide range of techniques including more efficient utilization of solar energy, elucidation of the bottleneck of photosynthesis and oil production metabolism, and also genome editing to modify such metabolism.
