We analyze the influence of greenhouses in cultivation phytoplankton. For this we propose a model for marine green algae Tetraselmis suecica, and adapt it to four other species (Spirulina platensis, Dunaliella salina, Phaeodactylum tricornutum Chlorella vulgaris). Experiments under greenhouse were carried out shifting temperature two raceways compared reference raceway with free evolving temper...

Growth of Spirulina platensis LN1 was observed using eight different media consisting of different combinations of Lonar lake water, N, P and K and Zarrouk medium composition under different incubation periods. Medium II was suitable on 9th day of incubation and medium III was suitable on 15th day of incubation for its growth whereas, 12th day of incubation was shown to be suitable for its grow...

Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of supplementation of Spirulina platensis on altered blood parameters in alloxan induced diabetic mice. Methods: Diabetes mellitus was induced by intra-peritoneal administration of alloxan-monohydrate. Mice were divided into four groups of six mice in each group. Group-I was normal, group-II was diabetic, group-III was diabetic control f...

The high incidence of vulvo-vaginal candidiasis, combined with the growing problems about azole resistance and toxicity of antifungal drugs, highlights the need for the development of new effective strategies for the treatment of this condition. In this context, natural compounds represent promising alternatives. The cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis, a blue-green alga, exhibits antimicrobial ...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the renoprotective antioxidant effect of Spirulina platensis on gentamicin-induced acute tubular necrosis in rats. Albino-Wistar rats, (9male and 9 female), weighing approximately 250 g, were used for this study. Rats were randomly assigned to three equal groups. Control group received 0,9 % sodium chloride intraperitoneally for 7 days at the same v...

AIM This work was aimed to document the antiviral activates of Spirulina platensis extract against foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) different types to evaluate its replication in Baby Hamster Kidney (BHK) cell culture and in baby mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cytotoxicity assay studied for S. platensis extract on BHK cells to determine the non-toxic dose. The non-toxic dose of Spirulina extr...

Algae preparations are commonly used in alternative medicine. We examined the effects of algae extracts on normal hematopoietic cells and leukemia cells. Ethanol extracts were prepared of Dunaliella salina (Dun), Astaxanthin (Ast), Spirulina platensis (Spir), and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). Cell viability effects were completed by Annexin staining. Ast and AFA inhibited HL-60 and MV-4-11 wh...
