摘要

Marine diatoms are highly valued commercially due to their abundant lipids and bioactive substances. Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a key oil-producing diatom, has faced challenges in large-scale cultivation, primarily due to zooplankton predation. Our previous studies identified that the Pt2015 overexpression strain (termed oeT) alters the morphotype of P. tricornutum which demonstrated a majority triradiate morphotype and conferred resistance to zooplankton. In this study, we found that under 60-L culture conditions, the oeT strain was maintained at a stable level (84%). Additionally, the growth of the oeT strain was significantly higher than that of wild type (WT), with a 10% increase in accumulated dry weight. Notably, lipid content in the oeT strain was enhanced by 13.4% relative to WT. Moreover, the contents of fatty acid such as C14:0 and C16:1 are much higher than that of WT. These results suggest that the oeT strain demonstrates considerable advantages for large-scale cultivation of P. tricornutum.
