Uporaba mikrofluidike za raziskave cianobakterij

Šketa, Borut (author), Žnidaršič Plazl, Polona (mentor)

Cianobakterije zaradi sposobnosti vezave ogljika in dušika ter sinteze organskih spojin iz ogljika vezanega s fotosintezo predstavljajo pomemben vir kompleksnih spojin z visoko vrednostjo, vendar pa se zaradi dragih postopkov za ekstrakcijo produktov in počasnega iskanja primernih sevov le redko uporabljajo. Zaradi številnih prednosti mikrofluidika lahko prispeva k hitrejšemu razvoju ekonomsko upravičenih procesov in tehnologij s cianobakterijami. V delu je povzet pregled raziskav, ki potrjujejo velik pomen uporabe mikrofluidnih naprav za izvedbo visokozmogljivostnih presejalnih testov, za analizo rasti in metabolizma cianobakterij ter za koncentriranje teh celic.

• Title: Microfluidics application for cyanobacterial research

Abstract

Cyanobacteria present a potential source of complex high-value chemicals, due to their carbon fixation, nitrogen fixation, and photosynthesis capability. However, cyanobacteria are rarely used due to expensive product extraction procedures and slow strain selection processes. Microfluidics allows for high throughput assays through the manipulation of small volumes of liquid. Due to the flexibility of such systems, they may be used in many different applications as screening assays, concentrating and growth analysis under different conditions.
