NOVEL MICROALGAE HAVING HIGH LOLIOLIDE PRODUCTIVITY
The present invention relates to novel microalgae with high productivity of loliolide, in which the Scenedesmus sp. HS4 of the present invention can be used as a biological resource to produce loliolide due to its high biomass productivity and high loliolide content, and can be used as a pharmaceutical composition or cosmetic composition which requires loliolide derived from Scenedesmus sp. HS4.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING 3,5-DIHYDROXY-4-METHOXYBENZYL ALCOHOL FROM PLANKTON
[Problem] It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for collecting seawater that contains plankton and producing DHMBA, which is an antioxidant, from the plankton contained in the seawater.
[Solution] The method of the present invention includes: filtering collected seawater containing the plankton using a filter; taking out a cell content from the plankton remaining on the filter; subsequently heating/pressurizing the cell content taken out; and producing 3,5-dihydroxy-4-miethoxybenzyl alcohol from the heated/pressurized product. The plankton is a diatom. [Selected Drawing] FIG. 1

HYBRID SYSTEM OF CARBON DIOXIDE COMPACT MEMBRANE SEPARATION AND CARBON RECYCLING FOR URBAN POWER PLANT FOR EFFLUENT CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATION CONTROL
Disclosed is a hybrid system of carbon dioxide compact separation membrane and carbon recycling for an urban power plant for effluent carbon dioxide concentration control, including a blower into which an exhaust gas is input and which distributes the exhaust gas, a photo-culture process unit which receives the exhaust gas from the blower, performs a photo-culture process using microalgae, and discharges a first treatment gas, a mixing tank into which the exhaust gas supplied from the blower and the first treatment gas are input, a separation membrane process unit which receives a second treatment gas mixed in the mixing tank, and separates a third enriched gas from the second treatment gas using a plurality of separation membranes, a mineralization reaction unit which mineralizes carbon dioxide using the third enriched gas separated in the separation membrane process unit and discharges a third treatment gas to the mixing tank, a sensor unit which measures a carbon dioxide concentration discharged from each process using a plurality of sensors, and a control unit which controls operations of the photo-culture process unit, the separation membrane process unit and the mineralization reaction unit according to a carbon dioxide content of the inflow exhaust gas.
Biomass production
A process of growing a phototrophic biomass in a reaction zone, including a reaction mixture that is operative for effecting photosynthesis upon exposure to photosynthetically active light radiation, is provided. The reaction mixture includes phototrophic biomass that is operative for growth within the reaction zone. In one aspect, the carbon dioxide supply is modulated in response to detected process parameters. In another aspect, inputs to the reaction zone are modulated based on changes to the carbon dioxide supply. In another aspect, dilution of the carbon dioxide-comprising supply is effected. In another aspect, pressure of the carbon dioxide-comprising supply is increased. In another aspect, water is condensed from the carbon dioxide-comprising supply and recovered for re-use. In another aspect, the produced phototrophic biomass is harvested at a rate which approximates a predetermined growth rate of the phototrophic biomass.
