Recent Progress of Natural and Recombinant Phycobiliproteins as Fluorescent Probes

Marine Drugs, 2023
Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are natural water-soluble pigment proteins, which constitute light-collecting antennae, and function in algae photosynthesis, existing in cyanobacteria, red algae, and cryptomonads.

Novel Antioxidant Peptides Identified from Arthrospira platensis Hydrolysates Prepared by a Marine Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. JS4-1 Extracellular Protease

Marine Drugs, 2023
Crude enzymes produced by a marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. JS4-1 were used to hydrolyze phycobiliprotein. Enzymatic productions showed good performance on DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities (45.14 ± 0.43% and 65.11 ± 2.64 ...

Characterisation and selection of freshwater cyanobacteria for phycobiliprotein contents

, 2022
Some cyanobacteria species have a high capacity for accumulating phycobiliprotein contents in their cells. However, there is a lack of information on screening tropical freshwater cyanobacteria, particularly phycobiliproteins.

pH, Photo, and Aeration Period Effects on Arthrospira maxima Growth: Taguchi Technique [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2023
In this study, biomass dry weight [DW (0.912 g/L)] was markedly enhanced at pH of 10 for 24 h of aeration. The maximum production of protein (14.239 mg/L) was obtained at the highest photoperiod.

Diversity and evolution of phycobilisomes in marine Synechococcus spp.: a comparative genomics study [PDF]

, 2007
Background Marine Synechococcus owe their specific vivid color (ranging from blue-green to orange) to their large extrinsic antenna complexes called phycobilisomes, comprising a central allophycocyanin core and rods of variable phycobiliprotein ...

CyanoLyase: a database of phycobilin lyase sequences, motifs and functions [PDF]

, 2012
CyanoLyase (http://cyanolyase.genouest.org/) is a manually curated sequence and motif database of phycobilin lyases and related proteins. These enzymes catalyze the covalent ligation of chromophores (phycobilins) to specific binding sites of ...

Effects of Inorganic Carbon on Cyanobacterial Phycobiliprotein Fluorescence

Cyanobacteria have the potential to be energy-efficient sources of biofuels and high-value chemicals. However, they are not currently viable as cell factories on industrial scales, because high-production strains need to be engineered.

Phycobiliprotein recovery coupled to the tertiary treatment of wastewater in semi-continuous photobioreactors. Tracking contaminants of emerging concern [PDF]

, 2023
This study evaluated a tertiary wastewater treatment technology using cyanobacteria to recover value-added phycobiliproteins. The presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in wastewater, cyanobacterial biomass and pigments recovered were also ...

Phycobiliprotein Lyases [PDF]

, 2008
Phycobilins are light harvesting pigments of cyanobacteria and red algae. In cyanobacteria, four phycobiliproteins are organized in phycobilisomes: phycocyanin (PC), allophycocyanin (APC), and often also phycoerythrocyanin (PEC) or phycoerythrin (PE ...
