SCREENING OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS SYNTHESIZED BY MICROALGAE: A PROGRESS OVERVIEW ON EXTRACTION AND CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Chemia, 2018
Considering the high biodiversity of microalgae and their important impact on economy and ecological balance, new screening techniques are needed for their phenotypic characterization and efficient valorization of bioactive components.

Enhancing Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids (MAAs) Extraction Yield from Fischerella sp. F5 using Experimental Design

Jundishapur Journal of Natural Pharmaceutical Products
Background: Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are ultraviolet-absorbing metabolites found in cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, and animals, known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Characterization of Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids in Chlorophyll f Producing Cyanobacteria from Shaded Niches

European Scientific Journal
Cyanobacteria are the oldest photoautotrophic prokaryotes that can perform plant-like oxygenic photosynthesis. The obligate requirement of sunlight for photosynthesis inevitably exposes cyanobacteria to UV radiation.

Complementary UV-Absorption of Mycosporine-like Amino Acids and Scytonemin is Responsible for the UV-Insensitivity of Photosynthesis in Nostoc flagelliforme

Marine Drugs, 2010
Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and scytonemin are UV-screening compounds that have presumably appeared early in the history of life and are widespread in cyanobacteria.

Distribution and Abundance of MAAs in 33 Species of Microalgae across 13 Classes

Marine Drugs, 2010
We provide a direct comparison of the distribution and abundance of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in a diverse range of microalgal cultures (33 species across 13 classes) grown without supplementary ultraviolet radiation (UV).
