Metabolomics Analysis of Microalgae for the Cellular Physiology Adjustment to High CO2

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microalgae Biotechnology for Development of Biofuel and Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Carbon dioxide capture by microalgae may be a potential approach to reduce carbon emission from industrial plants. The high CO2 concentrations can constrain the growth of most microalgae. For the tolerant species, the metabolites were found to enhance the cellular physiology mechanisms. These cellular physiology adjustments of the high CO2 were related to signal transduction, nutrition availability, intracellular pH adjustment, and other pathways.
