“…Studies have shown that PBPs are stable under basic pH, and in this case, they remain stable from 0 to 50 • C. The color of the PBPs remains stable for 20 days after the extraction. So, from this information and from the results observed during the work the PBPs are the most stable pigments present in seaweeds [82].…”

Seaweeds have been explored as a natural resource of compounds of interest due to their bioactivities. Although many studies report the interest and the application of seaweeds in various areas, from food or human health to the economy, these data mostly focus on raw extracts and not on specific compounds, such as seaweed pigments. Fungal infections of the skin, nails, and hair caused by dermatophytes are the most common fungal infections worldwide. These pathologies require long periods of topical and/or systemic treatment associated with adverse effects and increased antifungal resistance. So, this study had two objectives: the first was to isolate and characterize the pigments of the seaweeds Calliblepharis jubata and Fucus vesiculosus; the second was to assess their antifungal activity. The extraction of pigments was performed using a method of extraction by exhaustion, and the purification was achieved via column chromatography. Three techniques were used to characterize the pigments: thin-layer chromatography (TLC), UV–visible spectrophotometry, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The antifungal activity against the three most common dermatophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Microsporum canis, was evaluated using a microdilution methodology, following the EUCAST international standards. It was possible to observe that the extracts obtained from the seaweed C. jubata, corresponding to the purified pigment phycobiliprotein, and the crude extract (an enriched extract) showed antifungal activity against the three fungal agents of human skin infection.

“…There are some biochemical compounds in algae like phycobilins, pigments, antioxidants , carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids, oils, fats, chlorophylls, proteins, and minerals that help restore the metal ion charge to zero (Nowruzi et al, 2022;. Bioregeneration contains a threefold procedure wherein the activation phase includes nucleation and reduction of metal ions owing to the enzyme liberation of algal cells, which is revealed by changing the solution's color.…”

Green synthesis of nanoparticles is an environmentally friendly method to produce nanoparticles with unique biological, physical, and chemical properties. Today, biological synthesis methods have drawn significant attention because of the drawbacks of physical and chemical synthesis, such as poisonous side effects, time and power usage, and heavy price. Among different microorganisms, cyanobacteria are suitable candidates as regenerating and stabilizing agents because of their capability to collect heavy metals from the environment and produce various bioactive compounds such as colorants and enzymes. The green synthesis of nanoparticles by cyanobacteria has captivated extensive consideration as a secure, easy, stable, economical, and environmentally friendly resolution for biomedical and veterinary applications. Meanwhile, the secondary metabolites synthesized by cyanobacteria with the ability of extracellular and extracellular metals reduction and oxidation are very noteworthy and have antibacterial, antifungal, anti-algae, anticancer, and photocatalytic activities. This study considers the properties, as well as biomedical and veterinary applications of nanoparticles generated by cyanobacteria.

“…This trend is predicted to continue in the future due to increasing consumer health consciousness of potential and known harmful effects of synthetic compounds. Other advantages are stability, considering temperature, pH, osmolarity, low reactivity [122][123][124], and the health-promoting effects from another point of view [121]. An advantage is that the market for cyanobacteria and their PBPs (mainly Arthrospira, Anabaena) and red alga (Porphyridium and Galdieria) has been established.…”

“…For PBPs and their products, in 2010, it was estimated to be around US$60 million [125]. Another critical factor for industries is the stability of PBPs, they showed good range of stability between pH 5-10 and between −20 and 80°C, and it could be prolonged by adding preservatives [124]. The blue (PCY) and red (PER) pigments that Cryptophytes provide is attractive to the food and cosmetic industries [21].…”

Cryptophytes are single-cell biflagellate algae, with extrusive organelles called ejectosomes. They live in fresh and marine water, mainly in shaded environments where light levels are reduced relative to the surface. They are the product of a secondary endosymbiosis of a red alga, which still retains the endosymbiont nucleus’s reminiscences and has four membranes around its plastids. Cryptophytes have a metabolic diversity that makes them very interesting from a nutritional point of view since they present a balance of fatty acids w3/w6, sterols, carotenoid pigments, and phycobiliproteins, these last also have antioxidant effects. Their composition makes them attractive for food in aquaculture and human consumption, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics; their fluorescent potential has attracted the attention of researchers in genomics, neuroscience and molecular biology. The biochemical composition of the cells is modulated by illumination, available nutrients, and its growth phase. This work reviews the general biology of cryptophytes, emphasizing the photosynthetic ones, culture properties and its biotechnological potential.
