Spirulina platensis merupakan mikroalga hijau-kebiruan dalam kelas Cyanophyceae yang mengandung klorofil-a dan fikobiliprotein. Faktor lingkungan dapat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan pigmen salah satunya yaitu salinitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan pada salinitas berbeda. Metode penelitian digunakan adalah eksperimental laboratoris dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap. Ha...

Phycocyanin, a natural blue phycobiliprotein extracted from cyanobacteria, recently focused the interest of food industry as promising pigment and antioxidant. Eco-extraction phycocyanin via ultrasound using five glycerol-based NaDES was described here. Response surface methodology (RSM) artificial neural network (ANN) were adapted for generation predictive models to simulate optimize extractio...

r-phycoerythrin (r-pe), a fluorescent protein from phycobiliprotein family, is isolated from red algae. conjugation of antibodies to r-pe facilitates multiple fluorescent staining methods. in the present study polyclonal antibodies and polyclonal f(ab')2 fragment antibodies were conjugated to r-pe by two different methods. the efficiency of the methods was evaluated using immunocytochemistry (i...

Abstract Phycobiliproteins are pigments with uses in pharmacology, cosmetics, foods, and as fluorescent probes biochemistry. Cryptophyte microalgae one possible source of phycobiliproteins well other molecules such omega-3 fatty acids. The use cryptophytes biotechnology is currently very limited especially the potential freshwater species poorly documented. For commercial production, it importa...

With increasing consumer awareness of the use natural products in pharmaceuticals and medicine, it is noted that algae can be considered an appropriate source. Algae produce many bioactive components, which have application potential pharmaceutical industries, such as fatty acids, phycobiliprotein, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, so on. However, still a long way before truly w...
