INFLUENŢA SELENITULUI DE Fe(III) ŞI A INTENSITĂŢII DE ILUMINARE ASUPRA CONŢINUTULUI DE FICOBILIPROTEINE, SELENIU ŞI FIER ÎN BIOMASA CIANOBACTERIEI SPIRULINA PLATENSIS

Studia Universitatis Moldaviae: Stiinte reale si ale naturii, 2017
Productivitatea spirulinei şi onţinutul de fier în biomasă au înregistrat valori mai înalte la iluminare mai intensă (5500 lx), comparativ cu 3500 lx, iar acumularea ficobiliproteinelor în biomasa de spirulină a fost mai semnificativă la 3500 lx ...

Phycobilisomes: modular light‐harvesting systems of cyanobacteria and red algae

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are supramolecular pigment–protein complexes that function as the principal light‐harvesting antennae in cyanobacteria, red algae (Rhodophyta), and glaucophytes, and to a lesser extent in cryptophytes. Because the intrinsic chlorophyll‐based antennae of the photosystems absorb poorly in the green region of the spectrum ...

Optimizing Light Spectrum and Intensity for Pigment Production in Nostoc: A Review

Applied Biosciences
Filamentous cyanobacteria in the genus Nostoc show color diversity in their natural habitats, ranging from bright green to yellow–green to brown. In contrast, laboratory cultures are typically uniform in color, which is attributed to differences in light

Water Availability and Air Humidity Strongly Affect Photosynthesis in Biofilms on Tree Trunks: Predictions for a Climate‐Changing World

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Photosynthetic behaviour in cyanobacteria‐dominated biofilms on tree bark is very sensitive to water availability and vulnerable to climatic changes. ABSTRACT Climate change intensifies drought in several regions. Here, we assess how water availability and air humidity regulate photosynthesis in epiphytic cyanobacterial biofilms on Jacaranda ...

Transmission electron microscopy characterisation of Spirulina bioplastics

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 303, Issue 1, Page 101-119, July 2026.
Abstract Plastic pollution is impacting global ecosystem health. Bioplastics made from unprocessed biomass, including whole or fragmented tissues, are one potential solution. They are biodegradable and exhibit competitive mechanical performance. Seaweed and microalgae have gained popularity over the last decade as bioplastic feedstocks due to their ...
