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 …

Algae (especially microalgae and cyanobacteria) are potentially diverse, ubiquitous, and
dominant group of photosynthetic organisms in nature. The dominance and diversity of …

The aim of this study was to investigate the cultivation of Nostoc sp., Arthrospira platensis
and Porphyridium purpureum in industrial wastewater to produce phycobiliproteins. Initially …

Phycobiliproteins are photosynthetic light-harvesting pigments isolated from microalgae with
fluorescent, colorimetric and biological properties, making them a potential commodity in the …

Since carotenoids are important as natural colorants, antioxidants, neutraceutics and
pharmaceutics, the aim of the present study was to find a new good source of these …

Conventional methods for primary extraction can extract only 50–60% of the total C-
phycocyanin (C-PC) present in a given biomass because of the resistance offered by the cell …

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

The freezing–thawing method had been reported to be the best phycobiliprotein extraction
technique. However, optimum parameters of this extraction method for Arthrospira sp.(one of …

Phycoerythrin (PE) is a pink/red-colored pigment found in rhodophytes, cryptophytes, and
blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). The interest in PE is emerging from its role in delivering …

Developing efficient CO 2 utilization technologies can alleviate the urgent pressure on
energy and the environment. Moreover, these technologies are crucial for achieving the goal …
