Effect of Spirulina platensis Biomass with High Polysaccharides Content on Quality Attributes of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) and Common Barbel (Barbus barbus) Fish Burgers

Applied Sciences, 2019
Lately, microalgae have been used as natural additives in fish-transformed products to improve their nutritional quality. In this research, the effects of adding Spirulina platensis at concentrations of 0.5, 1 and 1.5% w/v on both the texture and the ...

Kinetics drying of Spirulina platensis

African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2016
Spirulina platensis is a blue-green multicellular photosynthetic cyanobacterium and it is used in many countries as human and animal feed. The aim of this work is to determine and set kinetics drying for S. platensis at different temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60°C).

Enhancement of biomass and phycocyanin content of Spirulina platensis

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2018
Response surface methodology (RSM) based on the 23 factorial central composite design (CCD) was employed to evaluate optimum culture conditions (temperature, light irradiance and agitation) to enhance biomass and phycocyanin content of Spirulina platensis.

Two tuf genes in the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1984
Probes derived from the tufA gene of Escherichia coli have been utilized to detect homologous sequences on Spirulina platensis DNA. A 6-kilobase-pair fragment of S. platensis DNA appears to contain two sequences homologous to the E. coli gene. Thus, as reported for gram-negative bacteria, the cyanobacterium presumably contains two tuf genes.

Incorporation of Spirulina platensis in Edible Coating for Shelf-Life Extension of Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) Umagna Variety [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Tomatoes are a widely consumed fruit due to their rich nutritional profile and can command high market prices, exemplified by varieties like Umagna. Nevertheless, tomatoes are prone to damage. A viable solution involves applying an edible coating derived

Performance Assessment and Lab‐Scale Economic Evaluation of Alkaline Extraction and Comparative Precipitation of Cyanobacterial Proteins

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Algal proteins from cyanobacteria serve as a natural source of biopolymers. The principal challenge manifests as nonoptimization of unit operations in downstream process accounting for higher costs. This study focuses on process assessment of unit‐operations for selecting suitable recovery strategies not only based on yield, but also considers

Microbial Hydrolysates as Amino Acid Source in Cell Culture Media for Cellular Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The high cost of cultivation media remains one of the barriers to the commercialization of cultivated meat. Current serum‐free media reduce reliance on fetal bovine serum but only achieve modest cost savings. Especially at larger scales (> 20 m3), pharmaceutical‐grade amino acids and recombinant proteins remain major cost drivers.

Modeling of Color and Degradation of C‐Phycocyanin Extracted From Arthrospira platensis and Chlorogloeopsis HTF

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
A nonlinear kinetic model was developed and successfully implemented, which describes the degradation of the protein C‐phycocyanin depending on temperature and pH value. C‐phycocyanin had been extracted from two different cyanobacteria. In addition to protein degradation, the fading of the typical blue color of this protein was included in the model ...
