Microorganism-based bioremediation is a well-sought after method for industrial wastewater treatment and forms the primary stage. The current research suggests using Spirulina platensis as an organism of choice bioremediation. This study provides insight into potential use primary-treated growth media platensis. tolerance S. was confirmed metals such mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), ...

Compared with the parental strain, a Spirulina platensis mutant that is resistant to ethionine incorporated methionine into protein at a reduced rate, whereas ethionine incorporation was practically nil. The methionyl-tRNA synthetase present in crude extracts from the resistant strain showed a reduced affinity for methionine and ethionine.

PURPOSE To assess the effects of polysaccharide extract from Spirulina platensis (PSP) on corneal neovascularization (CNV) in vivo and in vitro. METHODS PSP was extracted from dry powder of Spirulina platensis. Its anti-angiogenic activity was evaluated in the mouse corneal alkali burn model after topical administration of PSP four times daily for up to seven days. Corneal samples were proces...

Abstract The effects of different ferrous sulfate (FeSO 4 ) concentrations on the fatty acid profile blue-green alga Arthrospira platensis cultured in Zarrouk’s medium to produce biodiesel were studied. Different (0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 g/L) 0.01 g/L examined biochemical composition acids A. . Findings revealed that highest lowest yields 0 FeSO , respectively. It was also noticed an incr...

Cyanobacteria generate biomass under photoautotrophic conditions during photosynthesis. Cultivation of cyanobacteria photoheterotrophic using various organic carbon sources can increase yield biomass. In the current study, effect on growth properties and morphology Spirulina platensis, as well production photosynthetic pigments: chlorophyll a, carotenoids, phycocyanin were investigated. Carbon ...

Optimization of Enriched Diet Pastille Formulation Containing Spirulina Platensis Microalgae Using Replacement Sucrose with Stevioside-Isomalt and Gelatin Persian Gum by Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The present work was carried out to investigate the ability of Spirulina platensis to produce antimicrobial substance against bacteria and fungi. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cells of the cyanobacterium were subjected to different extractions and the purified antagonistic compound proved to be effective against broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. The antagonistic comp...
