Cultivation under strict HT conditions leads to increased paramylon levels during the exponential growth phase, while light has been shown to be detrimental to the accumulation and conservation of paramylon under MT growth, probably because the metabolic switch to paramylon degradation is under the influence of a photoreceptor (Kiss et al., 1986; Barsanti et al., 2001). Univ. These low titres could represent a good target for improvement by genetic engineering or non-recombinant metabolic engineering techniques based on the selection of improved phenotypes after the application of a selective pressure such as adaptive laboratory evolution (Portnoy et al., 2011; Dragosits and Mattanovich, 2013; Khatiwada et al., 2019).

For example, expression of the Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 fructose-1,6-/sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase gene in E. gracilis chloroplasts was shown to significantly enhance its photosynthetic activity, as well as the paramylon yield (by almost 2-fold), the WE yield under anaerobic conditions (~100-fold) and the biomass yield (~2-fold) (Ogawa et al., 2015). For example, the antimicrobial activity of paramylon was enhanced chemically by introducing positively charged groups (e.g., 2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammoniopropyl, N,N-diethylaminoethyl, and N,N-dimethylaminoethyl groups) and sulphated paramylon was shown to exhibit anti-HIV activity (Sakagami et al., 1989; Koizumi et al., 1993).

In addition, the enzyme ascorbate peroxidase reduces excess hydrogen peroxide to water by oxidation of ascorbate (Shigeoka et al., 1980; Ishikawa et al., 2010; Hasan et al., 2017). Prod. -tocopherol, the major form of vitamin E in the US diet, deserves more attention. The -carotene content of E. gracilis cell mass grown in this two-step cultivation process or under PT conditions (3.4 or 3.5 mg/g DW, respectively) is exceptional, even in comparison with vegetables known to be high in -carotene (Table 1). Vitamin C (ascorbate) is critical for human health as it acts as an antioxidant and co-factor for several enzymes involved in essential biosynthesis pathways (Grosso et al., 2013; Aghajanian et al., 2015). Chem. In addition, two research articles [4,5] investigated Euglena gracilis, a photosynthetic flagellate, which had been studied earlier on board of the American Space Shuttle Columbia [6]. Furthermore, there is a preference for the use of short- or medium-chain esters over long-chain esters in the industrial production of diesel and kerosene because shorter esters provide better cold flow properties and oxidative stability (Maurice et al., 2001).

Phycol. Euglena gracilis has a pathway for the synthesis of EPA and subsequently DHA (Figure 2D), and the enzymes within this pathway have been characterised biochemically. J. Clin. One such candidate source is the fast-proliferating microalga Euglena gracilis.The commercial cultivation of E. gracilis began in 2007, after the success of its outdoor mass cultivation and improvement of the harvesting and drying methods suitable for Euglena cells. J. Euglena gracilis cell confined in a glass capillary and imaged using bright-field reflected light microscopy. However, paramylon granules have been shown to be recalcitrant to enzymatic degradation and it is very likely that a consortium of different enzymes is required for the efficient degradation of this polysaccharide (Sutivisedsak et al., 2013). Paramylon is the water-insoluble storage polysaccharide of E. gracilis, which consists of -1,3-linked glucose subunits, and has an estimated molecular weight between 100 and 500 kDa (Figure 3A) (Miyatake and Kitaoka, 1983; Koizumi et al., 1993; Barsanti et al., 2011).

Biochem. To the best of our knowledge, there are currently no reports of a commercial -tocopherol production using E. gracilis. The central enzymatic steps of the pathway for WE formation in E. gracilis are catalysed by fatty acyl-CoA reductase (EgFAR) and wax synthase (EgWS). (2014). (2018). WEs can be used directly as biodiesel, whereas FAs must be processed first by esterification with an alcohol to yield WEs.

The granules are ~16 m long, surrounded by a biomembrane and show an unusual high degree of crystallinity, setting them apart from other carbohydrate storage products found in plants and algae (Miyatake and Kitaoka, 1983; Koizumi et al., 1993; Bumer et al., 2001; Barsanti et al., 2011; Monfils et al., 2011). Res. Euglena gracilis shows an absolute requirement for vitamins B1 (thiamine) and B12 (cobalamin), so complex E. gracilis media usually contain at least 50 ng/L and 10 ng/L, respectively, of these compounds (Isegawa et al., 1987; Shigeoka et al., 1987; Croft et al., 2005; Hasan et al., 2017).

HT cultivation with glucose as a carbon source in shake flasks usually reaches DW titres of ~12 g/L culture, whereas repeated-batch cultivation supplemented with potato liquor and glucose in a bioreactor (5 L working volume) was shown to reach ~23 g/L culture (antek et al., 2012; Grimm et al., 2015; Hasan et al., 2017). Nevertheless, ascorbate and other bioproducts like vitamin E remain an important component of commercially available food supplements based on E. gracilis cell mass (Barsanti and Gualtieri, 2018). Hepatoprotective effects of paramylon, a -1,3-D-glucan isolated from Euglena gracilis Z, on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats. -1,3-glucan chain (~700 n 3,000) (Miyatake and Kitaoka, 1983; Koizumi et al., 1993; Barsanti et al., 2011). doi: 10.2741/4160, Harper, C. (2006). It should be noted that ascorbate production by E. gracilis has not attracted much attention, probably because consumption of just 100 to 200 mL of juice from citrus fruits like oranges (Table 1) is enough to fulfil the daily recommended intake of adults (75 and 90 mg for females and males, respectively) (Grosso et al., 2013; US Department of Agriculture., 2018).

Compared to some -tocopherol methyltransferases from plants, the E. gracilis enzyme has a high KM value (50 M for SAM) and low specific activity (251 nmol/h per mg protein for -tocopherol) (Shigeoka et al., 1992; Koch et al., 2003).

For example, transformation of E. gracilis chloroplasts with the gene coding for a cyanobacterial fructose-1,6-/sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase has been achieved by biolistic bombardment (Doetsch et al., 2001; Ogawa et al., 2015). Preliminary laboratory-scale experiments to determine E. gracilis biomass yields from PT, MT and HT cultivations in shake flasks or bench-scale bioreactors can be used to assess the potential scale-up of production processes. J. Vet. Bioresource Technol. Front. We address this by genome, RNA and protein sequencing: the E. gracilis genome is >2Gb, with 36,526 predicted proteins. Rectangular and wedge-shaped segments consisting of these fibres are arranged to form granules, which can be synthesised by E. gracilis in different shapes like ellipses or rods (Figure 3B). In recent years, a growing number of cytometry approaches have been developed for the screening of E. gracilis mutant strains with an increased lipid content. Several reports have described the successful mutagenesis (e.g., by irradiation) of E. gracilis (Schiff et al., 1980; Yamada et al., 2016; Suzuki, 2017). Chemical derivatives of paramylon (activated paramylon) have been shown to exhibit augmented or novel bioactivities. doi: 10.1016/j.pisc.2015.07.002, O'Neill, E.C., Trick, M., Hill, L., Rejzek, M., Dusi, R.G., Hamilton, C.J., et al. 20, 229236. doi: 10.1038/srep26327, Yamamoto, F.Y., Sutili, F.J., Hume, M., and Gatlin, D.M.

Euglena Euglena, genus of more than 1,000 species of single-celled flagellated (i.e., having a whiplike appendage) microorganisms that feature both plant and animal characteristics. Reported EPA and DHA titres in E. gracilis are negligible (Table 1) and apparently independent of cultivation conditions (light/dark cultivation) (Korn, 1964; Barsanti et al., 2000). 7, 715729. Initial transcriptomic studies indicated that amino acid synthesis pathways in E. gracilis were similar to those used by plants and bacteria (O'Neill et al., 2015b). The proposed activity of 17-desaturase and C20/22 elongase (see Figure 2D) has been verified in E. gracilis cell extract only, whereas genes encoding the other enzymes (see Figure 2D) have been expressed heterologously (Wallis and Browse, 1999; Meyer et al., 2003; Qi et al., 2004; Damude et al., 2010; Pollak et al., 2012; Zhu et al., 2014).

Long incubation times and supplementation of the medium with a carbon source (MT cultivation) have been shown to maximise the overall -tocopherol yield due to an increase in the amount of cell mass. PT cultivation of E. gracilis is currently favoured, probably due to lower cost and relative ease of set-up, but HT cultivation for higher yields of cell mass and paramylon could soon become reality.
