This dissertation investigates the effects of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment on microalgae Chlorella vulgaris across three biological scales: organellar, cellular, and community. At the organellar level, PEF-induced changes in photosynthetic machinery were assessed by chlorophyll a fluorescence lifetime analysis. At the cellular level, the combined effects of gliding arc discharge plasma preconditioning and PEF were examined, demonstrating that plasma preconditioning voltage modulates the cellular response to an identical PEF stimulus. At the community level, species-specific susceptibility and inter-species interactions were evaluated in C. vulgaris–bacteria co-cultures. These findings establish a multi-scale framework for understanding and tailoring PEF-based microalgal bioprocessing. |
