Phycobilisomes from a Blue-Green Alga Nostoc Species

Phycobilisomes of the Thermophilic Blue-green Alga Synechococcus Lividus

Aggregates containing both phycoerythrin and from hot springs (pH 8 .2-8 .4) in the lower Geyser phycocyanin were first described in the red alga Basin area of the Yellowstone National Park . The Porphyridium cruentum and named phycobilisomes temperature of the water at these sites was in the (7, 8) . This and subsequent investigations of range 65°-70°C . The selected unicells were usually phyc...

Isolation and properties of alpha granules and ribosomes from a blue-green alga, Nostoc muscorum

External Factors Influencing Light-Induced Hydrogen Evolution by the Blue-Green Alga, Nostoc muscorum

This study was conducted to determine some physiological conditions which influence light-in­ duced hydrogen evolution by intact cells of the blue-green alga Nostoc muscorum. This activity was found to be dependent on the age of the culture, cultivation temperature, ageing of the cells, and on gassing the cultures with nitrogen or air. Nitrogenase is particularly ac­ tive after cultivation at 2...

Isolation and structure elucidation of a new alkaloid from the Indonesian Blue-Green Alga Arthrospira platensis

A new alkaloid (1) and two known compounds (2 and 3) were isolated from the blue-greenalga Arthrospira platensis. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data.According to the obtained data and values in the literature, the compounds were concluded to beeckol.
