Protective Effect of the Phycobiliproteins from Arthrospira maxima on Indomethacin-Induced Gastric Ulcer in a Rat Model

Plants, 2023
Gastric ulcers (GU) constitute a disease with a global prevalence ≈ 8.09 million. Of their causes, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as indomethacin (IND) rank as the second most frequent etiologic agent.

Extraction and purification of B-phycoerythrin from the red microalga Rhodosorus marinus

Ciencias Marinas, 2009
A description is given of the purification of B-phycoerythrin (B-PE) from the red microalga Rhodosorus marinus. Initially, phycobiliproteins were released from the microalgal cells by manual cellular fragmentation and sonication. B-PE was extracted with

Isolation and spectral characterization of phycobiliproteins [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1970
Several phycobiliproteins were prepared chromatographically pure and their absorption, fluorescence-emission, fluorescence-excitation and fluorescence-excitation polarization spectra determined. Changes in these spectra with ionic strength of the aqueous medium and chromoprotein concentration were interpreted in terms of interchromophore energy ...

Design of experiments‐driven optimization of Porphyridium marinum cultivation: impact of operational variables on phycoerythrin and exopolysaccharide production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Among the Porphyridium genus, Porphyridium marinum exhibits the highest phycoerythrin (PE) content. In this study, the metabolic trade‐off between biomass, PE, and sulfated exopolysaccharide (EPS) production was assessed under varying nitrogen and sulfur availability, light intensity, residence time, and cultivation mode.
