A study was conducted with an objective to compare the efficacy of bentonite (BT), Spirulina platensis (SP) and glucomannan mycotoxin binders (GMA) on aflatoxicosis in broiler breeders. Three levels of AF, three binders and combination of different levels of AF with binders were evaluated. The AF fed at the levels of 300, 400 and 500ppb for three periods, each with duration of three weeks in br...

This study aims to determine the effect of combined use Urea and TSP fertilizers on Protein content Spirulina sp. research was conducted for 10 days at Center Brackish Water Aquaculture (BPBAP) Takalar. The method used in this is an experimental design with Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using 4 treatments 3 replications, namely Treatment A (0.4 g/l + 0.008 TSP), B (0.5 0.010 C (0.6 0.012 T...

BACKGROUND Spirulina platensis, a cynobacterium used frequently as a dietary supplement had been found to exhibit many immune-stimulating and antiviral activities. It had been found to activate macrophages, NK cells, T cells, B cells, and to stimulate the production of Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and other cytokines. Natural substances isolated from Spirulina platensis had been found to be potent ...

Potential use of organic waste and microalgae generates bioelectricity thereby reduces harmful effects on the environment. These residues are used due to their high content electron-generating microorganisms. However, so far, they have not been simultaneously. Therefore, this research uses mango Spirulina sp. in double-chamber microbial fuel cells generate bioelectricity. The were made at a lab...

Seaweeds contain high levels of minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, indigestible carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. The objective of this study was to compare Spirulina seaweed yellow alkaline noodles made with different levels of green seaweed to make Yellow alkaline noodle products of high nutritional quality with rich fiber content. Green seaweed powder (Spirulina) was incorporated in ...

Spirulina, a filamentous cyanobacterium, possesses diverse biological activities and nutritional significance due to high concentration of natural nutrients, having bio-modulatory and immuno-modulatory functions. Different Spirulina preparations influence immune system viz. increase phagocytic activity of macrophages, stimulating the production of antibodies and cytokines, increase accumulation...

Oxidative stress induced by mercuric chloride (5 mg/kg body weight i.p.) in mice substantially increases the lipid peroxidation level along with corresponding decrease in the reduced glutathione and various antioxidant enzymes in liver and increase in serum transaminases activity. Supplementation of Spirulina (800 mg/kg body weight orally, in olive oil, along with mercuric chloride) for 40 days...
