Abstract:Phycocyanin is a precious, natural, blue coloured pigment-protein complex that has commercial value and wide application in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries.In the present study, we performed various cell disruption methods (ultrasonication, homogenization, freeze/thaw and CaCl2 extraction) for phycocyanin extraction from different forms of biomass of a thermophilic Pseudanabaena sp. that has a high potential to produce high-quality phycocyanin. Using potassium phosphate buffer and ultrasonic bat… Show more
