Phycobiliproteins are a group of water soluble proteins with an associated chromophore,
responsible for the light-harvesting in cyanobacteria. They are divided in four main types …

Phycocyanin isolated from marine organisms has the characteristics of high efficiency and
low toxicity, and it can be used as a functional food. It has been reported that phycocyanin …

Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are colored and water-soluble biliproteins found in cyanobacteria,
rhodophytes, cryptomonads and cyanelles. They are divided into three main types …

The cyanobacterial genus Arthrospira appears very conserved and has been divided into
five main genetic clusters on the basis of molecular taxonomy markers. Genetic studies of …

Natural compounds derived from marine organisms exhibit a wide variety of biological
activities. Over the last decades, a great interest has been focused on the anti-tumour role of …

Cyanobacteria were the first organisms to use oxygenic photosynthesis for converting
carbon dioxide into useful organic chemicals. However, the chemical industry has …

Background: Open tetrapyrroles termed phycobilins represent the major photosynthetic
accessory pigments of several cyanobacteria and some eukaryotic algae such as the …

In this work, the fluorescence properties of Phycocyanin (PC) and the corresponding
quenching effects are investigated in attendance of human serum albumin (HSA). At first, PC …

Green synthesis is a promising method for the preparation of nanoparticles (NPs) due to its
simplicity, low cost, low toxicity, and environmental friendliness. Biosynthesized NPs exhibit …

Cyanobacteria are a diversified phylum of nitrogen-fixing, photo-oxygenic bacteria able to
colonize a wide array of environments. In addition to their fundamental role as diazotrophs …
