| Article Name : | | | SCREENING, EXTRACTION AND ESTIMATION OF PHYCOBILIPROTEINS FROM CYANOBACTERIA | | Author Name : | | | K. Mathivanan , S. Elumalai and G. Rajesh Kanna | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-5151 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Cyanobacteria are known for the production of specialized and photosynthetic pigments Phycobiliproteins. The phycobiliproteins constitutes of three different pigments, which are c-phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. All the three pigments have their pharmaceutical value. This present study deals with the analysis of the quantitative production of phycobiliproteins from the cyanobacterium. About eight Cyanobacterial strains were chosen for this study and their growth curve and phycobiliprotein production were evaluated. The Cyanobacterial strains, Synechococcus elongatus, Chroococcus minor and Anabaena strains were found to grow well when compared to the other Cyanobacterial strains in this present study. | | Keywords : | | |
