“…After twenty days of cultivation, the standard culture (without using a filter) achieved a cellular concentration of 0.6 mg.ml -1 in condition A, 0.9 mg.ml -1 in condition B (with forced aeration) and 0.6 mg.ml -1 in condition C. It was possible to make an analogy with the work of Monteiro et al (2010), which demonstrated that a system with artificial and continuous aeration could reduce labor hours and could be a more effective method for improving the process economy. The cell concentration was measured at the same period.…”

The aim of this work was to investigate the production of phycocyanin by Spirulina platensis under different spectra of light. The dependent variables evaluated were the amount of phycocyanin obtained and its purity, demonstrating that there might be a restructuring of phycobilisomes, especially when the culture was subjected to red light, which increased the purity level up to 33% with a reduction of 16% in phycocyanin content, but with higher photosynthetic efficiency compared to natural light.

“…O gênero Spirulina compreende cianobactérias filamentosas com elevado teor de proteínas (MONTEIRO et al, 2010). Sua principal característica morfológica é a disposição dos tricomas multicelulares cilíndricos em uma hélice esquerda aberta ao longo de todo o comprimento (TOMASELLI, 1997).…”

RESUMOAs microalgas tem sido foco de muitos estudos nos últimos anos tendo em vista sua grande aplicabilidade na indústria de alimentos e farmacêutica, nas áreas da biomedicina e ambiental. As aplicações ambientais das microalgas incluem a biofixação de CO 2 , remoção de matéria orgânica e metais tóxicos de efluentes, produção de biocombustíveis como biodiesel e bioetanol e na produção de moléculas de origem lipídica com capacidade surfactante entre outros. Dentre as microalgas estudadas, a Spirulina platensis tem apresentado grande potencial de utilização em todos esses setores com destaque especial na área ambiental. Objetivou-se revisar as principais aplicações ambientais dos cultivos microalgais, com ênfase para a microalga Spirulina platensis. Palavras-chave: microalgas; aplicações ambientais; Spirulina platensis. ABSTRACTMicroalgae have been focus of many studies in recent years due to its wide applicability in food and pharmaceutical industries and in biomedical and environmental areas. The environmental applications of microalgae include the biofixation of CO 2 , in the removal of organic matter and toxic metals from wastewater, in the biofuels production, as biodiesel and bioethanol, and in the production of lipid molecules with surfactant activity, among others. Among the studied microalgae, Spirulina platensis has shown great potential in all these sectors with particular emphasis in the environmental area. The objective was to review the main environmental applications of microalgae cultures, with emphasis on Spirulina platensis.

“…The microalgae Spirulina platensis comprises the filamentous cyanobacteria group, with high protein content and widely used as a single cell protein source for humans and animals (Aly & Esaw, 2008;Monteiro et al, 2010). It is found in spiral shape, called tricoma, constituted by cylindrical cells, short and wide, covered by a thin membrane.…”

Use of biomass extracted from microalgae has been increasing, with Spirulina platensis among them, which has been used for several purposes. In agriculture, it can be used as a biofertilizer or biostimulant, serving as a nutrients source and contributing to increase yield and food quality. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of successive Spirulina platensis applications on lettuce cv. Elba post-harvest quality. The experiment was conducted in a laboratory, using a completely randomized design in plots subdivided in time, with six repetitions. Plots referred to organic fertilizer concentrations (Spirufert®) and subplots referred to evaluation periods (harvest and 24h after harvest). Soluble solids (SS), pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio, ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll a and b and protein were evaluated. Data were submitted to analysis of variance using Tukey's test at 5% probability level. There was significant effect between fertilizer concentrations and evaluation periods for most of the analyzed variables. Use of 7.5% Spirufert® promotes quality characteristics maintenance for lettuce storage evaluated 24 hours after harvesting, preserving soluble solids content, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll and chlorophyll a.
