Abstract
Algal oligosaccharides, derived from polysaccharides in algal biomass, exhibit bioactive properties that enhance plant antioxidant enzyme activity and free radical scavenging. Currently, algal oligosaccharides are mainly produced from large algae, while studies on preparing algal oligosaccharides from microalgae are relatively insufficient. This study focuses on utilizing Chlorella cultivated under controlled conditions using diluted livestock wastewater to produce algal oligosaccharides and investigates their impact on rice seed germination under salt stress. Results show that culturing Chlorella with diluted livestock wastewater not only stimulated algal growth but also efficiently removed nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients. Algal oligosaccharides demonstrated significant improvements in rice seed germination, vigor indices, biomass accumulation, and nitrogen absorption under salt stress. Physiological indicators revealed elevated osmotic adjustment substances, increased chlorophyll content, and alleviated oxidative damage in rice seedlings treated with algal oligosaccharides. The study introduces an innovative method of using livestock wastewater for algal oligosaccharides production, emphasizing its dual benefits including efficient resource utilization and significant cost reduction. The findings also support the theoretical application of Chlorella-derived algal oligosaccharides in enhancing rice cultivation under salt stress.
