Testing of production properties of algal clones in greater sets

Testování produkčních vlastností řasových klonů ve větších sériích

Abstract

The author describes the testing method for clonal selections from the original strainScenedesmus quadricauda Greifswald/15 in biomass production. This method served for testing the clones in greater series. It was applied to clonal cultures selected on a solid medium after treatment of the coenobia with UV-light before their inoculation. The production characteristic of the clones was expressed by the temperature dependence of the constant μ from Simmer's growth equation in the last step of the testing process used. Some significant differences of this kind were found among the evaluated clonal cultures. This way of characterization facilitates a more detailed evaluation of clones in comparison with values obtained by an oneshot testing method under standard conditions.

Abstract

Autor popisuje metodu testování produkce biomasy u klonových selekcí v rámci kmene chlorokokální řasyScenedesmus quadricauda Greifswald/15. Tato metoda byla použita protestování klonů ve větších sériích. Autor ji aplikoval u klonových kultur, selektovaných na pevném mediu, na které byla coenobia výše uvedeného kmene naočkována po ovlivnění UV-světlem. Jako charakteristika jednotlivých klonů ve schopnosti produkovat biomasu sloužila závislost konstanty μ (ze Simmerem navržené rovnice pro rust řasových kultur) na teplotě. Mezi testovanými klonovými kulturami byly zjištěny významné diference v této závislosti. Uvedená zde metoda charakterizování selektovaných klonů umožňuje detailnější jejich hodnocení nežli hodnocení pouze na základě hodnot, získaných jednorázovým testováním za standardních podmínek.
