An obligatory sunlight requirement for photosynthesis has exposed cyanobacteria to different quantity and quality of light. Cyanobacteria can exhibit efficient photosynthesis over broad region(450 to 650 nm) of solar ...
Objective:To analyze the phytochemicals in twelve species of marine phytoplankton.Methods:Total phenolic content of methanol extract was estimated by the Folin-Ciocalteu method.Total flavonoid content of the methanol ...
The purpose of this study was to extract phyco-biliproteins (PBP) from Porphyra yezoensis using an optimized procedure and further establish a large scale process for protein production. According to our previous expe...

Glycine betaine(GB) is a biologically important small molecule protecting cells,proteins and enzymes in vivo and in vitro under environmental stresses.Recently,it was found that GB could also relax the structure and i...
Comparative studies of absorption spectra of phycobiliproteins of Gracilaria lemaneiformis Greville and its pigmental mutants were conducted in this study. The results showed that the absorption spectra of phycoerythr...
Scavenging of hydroxyl radical (·OH) by phycobiliproteins (C-phycocyanin, Allophyco- cyanin and R-phycoerythrin) was studied by competitive kinetics methods. Hydroxyl radicals were generated from pulse radiolysis of ...
IN the evolution series, algae possess a position between green plants and photosynthetic bacteria. The photosynthetic apparatus of algae and plants are very similar because both of them contain the two phótosyntheti...

The surface pressure-area (π-A) isotherm of R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) at the air-water interface has been measured. The results indicate that R-PE can form the monomolecular film. Moreover, the molecule-occupied area ex...
A discrete model was used for studying the effects of exciton annihilation on the decay behavior of the excited state in phycobiliprotein super-molecules. The simulation shows: The more the chromophores are and the hi...
