El Nitrógeno como Inductor Metabólico en Porphyridium Cruentum: Producción Selectiva de Ficobiliproteínas, Carbohidratos y Biomoléculas con Potencial para Suplementos Alimenticios
Resumen
Porphyridium cruentum, microalga roja perteneciente al filo Rhodophyta, cuyo perfil bioquímico considera proteínas (~34%), carbohidratos (~32%), lípidos (~7%) y ficobiliproteínas con actividades antioxidantes, antiinflamatorias y antitumorales; la posiciona como candidata de alto valor para el desarrollo de suplementos alimenticios naturales. El presente trabajo evalúa el efecto del exceso de nitrógeno (NaNO₃: 25 g L⁻¹ como control vs. 75 g L⁻¹ como tratamiento 3N) sobre la acumulación de biomoléculas y pigmentos en dos puntos críticos del ciclo de vida de la microalga: el final de la fase exponencial (Día 7) y el final de la fase estacionaria (Día 14). Los resultados demostraron que el exceso de nitrógeno no generó diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p > 0.05) en la concentración de proteínas, lípidos, ficocianina ni aloficocianina en ninguno de los dos momentos de cosecha evaluados. Sin embargo, se registró un incremento significativo del 52.60 % en la concentración de carbohidratos totales durante la fase exponencial, y un aumento del 46.43 % en la concentración de ficoeritrina al término de la fase estacionaria. Estos hallazgos establecen estrategias de cosecha diferenciadas según el compuesto de interés y contribuyen al diseño racional de bioprocesos con microalgas rojas para la obtención de ingredientes bioactivos con aplicación en la industria alimentaria y farmacéutica.
