ALLOPHYCOCYANIN FROM A LOCAL ISOLATEGEITLERINEMASP. A28DM (CYANOBACTERIA): A SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT PURIFICATION PROCESS

Abstract: Allophycocyanin (APC) is the least‐studied cyanobacterial bile‐pigment invariably present within the phycobilisome core of cyanobacteria. In the present study, we describe a simple, cost‐effective, and reproducible method for the purification of APC from a local isolate, Geitlerinema sp. A28DM. The pigment was extracted from the algal biomass and precipitated with 0.25% aqueous solution of the highly aromatic cationic dye “ethodin.” The precipitated APC was then subjected to a single size‐exclusion chromatogra… Show more

“…The homogeneity and structure integrity were analyzed by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) using a vertical electrophoresis cell (Mini-Protean II, Bio-Rad, USA) with a separating gel of 10% and a stacking gel of 5% as described before [33]. After electrophoresis, the protein band corresponding to B-PE was identified firstly by the pink color.…”

“…These results indicate that marine Geitlerinema isolates from Thailand are genetically similar to each other and closely related to many marine Geitlerinema strains, Geitlerinema sp. A28DM isolated from sandy shores parallel to the coast indented by the estuarine mouth of river Tapi, Gujarat, India 33 , Geitlerinema sp. Flo1 (Oscillatoria limnetica Flo1), present in the culture collection of the Department of Marine Microbiology at the University of Bremen 34 and Geitlerinema sp.…”
