Phycobiliproteins, light-harvesting pigments found in cyanobacteria and in some eukaryotic
algae, have numerous commercial applications in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical …

Cyanobacteria (Blue-green algae) are a morphologically diverse and widely distributed
group of prokaryotic organisms which show plant-type oxygenic photosynthesis …

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different light sources and media
(wastewater and BBM) on the growth of Pseudanabaena mucicola and its phycobiliprotein …

Diverse phycocyanin (PC) extraction and purification methods for cyanobacteria have been
reported in literature. A particular method is not applicable to all cyanobacteria and the best …

The present study investigated the effects of several physicochemical parameters on the
improvement of phycobiliproteins (especially phycocyanin) synthesis in a newly isolated …

Among 150 strains, including marine cyanobacteria isolated from coastal areas of Japan
and a freshwater cyanobacterium from the IAM collection, Spirulina platensis IAM M-135, the …

We report a procedure for obtaining fairly pure phycocyanin from a local isolate of the
cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp (Anacystis nidulans BD1). Cells were incubated with 1 …

Cyanobacteria are unique prokaryotes, which are capable to perform oxygenic
photosynthesis. Within these organisms, phycobilisomes (PBS) act as an antenna of the …

Objectives To assess the effects of light intensity and quality on the growth and
phycobiliproteins (PBP) accumulation in Nostoc sphaeroides Kützing (N. sphaeroides) …

Phycocyanin is a major phycobiliprotein produced by cyanobacteria, but only few strains for
its efficient purification have been reported until now. In the present study, we discussed the …
