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 …

Microalgae are the major photosynthesizers on earth and produce important pigments that
include chlorophyll a, b and c, β-carotene, astaxanthin, xanthophylls, and phycobiliproteins …

Little is known about the combined impacts of future CO2 and temperature increases on the
growth and physiology of marine picocyanobacteria. We incubated Synechococcus and …

Global warming is thought to be caused mainly by the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2),
with thermoelectric power plants being responsible for about 7% of global CO2 emissions …

In the mutualistic symbioses between legumes and rhizobia, actinorhizal plants and Frankia,
Parasponia sp. and rhizobia, and cycads and cyanobacteria, the N 2-fixing microsymbionts …

The demand for natural food colorants is growing as consumers question the use of artificial
colorants more and more. The phycobiliprotein C-phycocyanin of Arthospira platensis is …

Two local marine cyanobacteria, Phormidium sp. and Cyanothece sp., were batch-cultured
under 18–19.5° C, at 40 ppt salinity, using white LED light of low (40 μmol photons/m2/s) …

Among 18 strains, cyanobacterium Anabaena NCCU-9 contained the highest amount of
phycobiliprotein (91 mg/g dry cell weights). Therefore, the effects of various environmental …

We evaluated the feasibility of the pilot scale production of Spirulina strain LEB-18 in
southern Brazil and assessed the quality of biomass produced in relation to its kinetics …

The cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis is an attractive source of the biopigment, which is
used as a natural colour in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical products and have tremendous …
