The effect of oral Aphanizomenon flos-aquae extract on excisional wound healing
Background: Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a type of blue-green algae and contains a source of biological compounds. These microalgae have many beneficial health effects. Recently, fucoidan, known sulfated polysaccharide component of AFA algae, has been claimed to stimulate stem-cell mobilization in animal models. Stem cells play an essential role in tissue repair process. In this study, we ...
متن کاملAntioxidant properties of a novel phycocyanin extract from the blue-green alga Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a fresh water unicellular blue-green alga (cyanophyta) rich in phycocyanin (PC), a photosynthetic pigment with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of a novel natural extract from AFA enriched with PC to protect normal human erythrocytes and plasma samples against oxidative damage in vitro. In red b...
متن کاملThe Effect of Blue-Green Algae Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae on Nutrient Assimilation in Rats
Blue-green algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), rich in protein, vitamins, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, are used as food supplements. We studied the effect of varying concentrations (0.05-0.4%) of AFA on growth, feed consumption, and nutrient digestion in rats. A diet supplemented with 0.05% algae (equivalent to human daily consumption) had a stimulatory effect on weight gain and feed cons...
متن کاملCharacterization of a lytic cyanophage that infects the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
Vb-AphaS-CL131 is a novel cyanosiphovirus that infects harmful Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. This cyanophage has an isometric head, 97 nm in diameter and a long, flexible non-contractile tail, 361 nm long. With a genome size of ~120 kb, it is the second largest cyanosiphovirus isolated to date. The latent period was estimated to be ~36 h and a single infected cell produces, on average, 218 infectio...
متن کاملA novel biosurfactant, 2-acyloxyethylphosphonate, isolated from waterblooms of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae.
A novel biosurfactant, 2-acyloxyethylphosphonate, was isolated from waterblooms of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. Its structure was elucidated by chemical degradation and HRFABMS, GC/EI-MS and 1D- and 2D-NMR spectral analyses. The surfactant contained one mole of 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate and one mole of fatty acid, with hexadecanoic acid accounting for 84.1% of the total fatty acid content. The str...
