Vivid-colored phycobiliproteins (PBPs) have emerging potential as food colors and
alternative proteins in the food industry. However, enhancing their application potential …

The regulation of photosynthetic machinery with a nonoxidative approach is a powerful but
challenging strategy for the selective inhibition of bloom-forming cyanobacteria …

Phycobiliproteins of the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis, known as Spirulina, are
protein-chromophore complexes which are used by the organism to capture light energy …

This study aimed to purify, characterise and stabilise the natural food colourant, R-
phycocyanin (R-PC), from the red algae Porphyra spp.(Nori). We purified R-PC from dried …

This study aimed to characterise the stability of R-phycoerythrin (R-PE), a vivid natural
colourant with emerging potential for application in the food industry. High-quality (A 560/A …

The mechanism by which cyanobacteria have adapted from low to high salinity and
ultimately diversified in marine environments remains poorly understood. To understand …

Abstract Changes in light wavelength can alter the phycobiliprotein content in photosynthetic
organisms. These molecules are involved in harvesting light energy for photosynthesis and …

Phycoerythrin (PE) is a naturally occurring plant protein of algal origin. The colour, bioactivity
and stability of PE are inextricably linked to its structure. PE has powerful antioxidant …

Mercury emissions represent a significant risk to the environment and human health.
Mercury is persistent and can circulate in the environment for thousands of years, which is …

Blue C-phycocyanin (C-PC), the major Spirulina protein with innumerable health-promoting
benefits, is an attractive colourant and food supplement. A crucial obstacle to its more …
