Spirulina platensis, a super food?

Journal of Cellular Biotechnology, 2019
Spirulina platensis, a multicelluar, photosynthetic prokaryote (algae) contains a high amount of proteins, vitamins and minerals superior to many foods as e.g. soybeans. Thus, Spirulina platensis was recognized as nutritious food by the United Nations World Food Conference. Due to the high amount of nutritive ingredients Spirulina has a long history as

Treating urine by Spirulina platensis

Acta Astronautica, 2008
Abstract In this paper Spirulina platensis with relatively high nutrition was cultivated to treat human urine. Batch culture showed that the consumption of N in human urine could reach to 99%, and the consumption of P was more than 99.9%, and 1.05 g biomass was obtained by treating 12.5 ml synthetic human urine; continuous culture showed that S ...

An Arginine Specific Protease from Spirulina platensis

Marine Biotechnology, 2005
An arginine specific protease, Sp-protease, was purified by column chromatography from freeze-dried Spirulina platensis using a five-step process. Purified Sp-protease has a molecular weight of 80 kDa. It hydrolyzed the synthetic substrates containing arginine residue in the P1 position but did not hydrolyze synthetic substrates containing other amino ...

Phospholipid Fatty Acid Profile of Spirulina platensis

2021
Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis is used to measure the microbial biomass and the phospholipids present in the environmental samples. Microalgae spirulina is found to be a rich source of very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) and has been used as a neutraceutical and regenerative medicine in the biotechnological industries as ...

Lead removal bySpirulina platensisbiomass

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2015
In this investigation, we report on the biosorption of Pb (II) from aqueous solutions by the nonliving biomass of the micro-alga (cyanobacterium) Spirulina platensis. Propagation of the micro-alga was carried out in outside oblong raceway ponds. The biomass was cleaned, dried and used for the investigation.

Fractionation and purification of the phycobiliproteins from Spirulina platensis

Bioresource Technology, 2008
C-Phycocyanin and allophycocyanin of Spirulina platensis are fractionated and purified using a non-chromatographic method namely, aqueous two phase extraction for the first time. Optimized process parameters of aqueous two phase extraction (PEG 4000/potassium phosphate of tie line length 18.64% with a phase volume ratio 1.45) resulted in pure C ...

Acute rhabdomyolysis caused by Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis)

Phytomedicine, 2008
Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening disorder that occurs as a primary disease or as a complication of a broad spectrum of other diseases. We report the first case of acute rhabdomyolysis after ingestion of Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis), a plantonic blue-green alga, as a dietary supplement.

Antibacterial Activity of Spirulina Pigment Fraction Spirulina platensis

International Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Research and Studies
Spirulina platensis is a microalgae that is rich in nutrients. These organisms have a high protein content, in addition to being rich in secondary metabolites. Pigment is the secondary metabolite that is most abundant in Spirulina platensis. The pigment of Spirulina platensis consists of chlorophyll, carotenoids, and phycocyanin.

Occurrence of Inosine Kinase as a Distinct Enzyme in Spirulina platensis

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1995
Among a series of purine nucleosides, inosine was found to be phosphorylated at the highest rate by crude extracts of the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis. The inosine phosphorylating activity could be separated from hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase.
