Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are the main component of light-harvesting complexes in
cyanobacteria and red algae. In addition to their important role in photosynthesis, PBPs …

Abstract C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is a blue pigment in cyanobacteria, rhodophytes and
cryptophytes with fluorescent and antioxidative properties. C-PC is presently extracted from …

An obligatory sunlight requirement for photosynthesis has exposed cyanobacteria to
different quantity and quality of light. Cyanobacteria can exhibit efficient photosynthesis over …

Artemisinin is an effective anti‐malarial drug isolated from Artemisia annua L.(Chinese
wormwood), but the content of artemisinin in A. annua is low. In the present study we …

This study was conducted to investigate the anti-oxidant activity of the recombinant apo-c-
phycocyanin (c-PC) β-subunit compared to native c-PC purified from Spirulina sp. The gene …

Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are accessory light-harvesting pigment complexes found in various
groups of cyanobacteria and red algae. They have characteristic unusual fluorescent colors …

This chapter gives an overview of the range of cyanobacterial materials being harvested
from nature and grown in culture, increasingly on a large scale. Arthrospira, which is usually …

We developed dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on natural and artificial
phycobiliproteins (PBPs) to capture low light underwater. We assembled DSSCs with seven …

Aims: To express and product a fluorescent antioxidant holo‐α‐phycocyanin (PC) of
Spirulina platensis (Sp) with His‐tag (rHHPC; recombinant holo‐α‐phycocyaninof Spirulina …

Due to its biochemical and spectroscopic properties, phycocyanobilin (PCB) is of special
interest for a variety of applications, but the production of PCB from Spirulina is complicated …
