this study evaluates the effects of spirulina (arthrosphia maxima) and carrots (daucus carota) powder on body color changes of 330 pseudoteropheus zebra with average 15 g initial weight, in 35 days experimental period. as the results showed, the best content of steamed carrot in wet diet was 20 %, and all the factors except background color showed significant differences with control treatment ...

conclusions over-expression of the synthetic cpc/β protein in the bacterial system (escherichia coli bl-21) showed that e. coli can be used as a basis for further research to produce this desired protein in large quantities. results the sds-page analysis and dot blotting confirmed the production of recombinant c-pc/β in the bacterial expression system. over-expression of cpcb gene was optimized...

Total lipid contents of green (Chlorella pyrenoidosa, C), red (Porphyra tenera, N; Palmaria palmata, D), and brown (Laminaria japonica, K; Eisenia bicyclis, A; Undaria pinnatifida, W, WI; Hizikia fusiformis, H) commercial edible algal and cyanobacterial (Spirulina platensis, S) products, and autotrophically cultivated samples of the green microalga Chlorella kessleri (CK) and the cyanobacterium...

This study was conducted to investigate the possible protective effect of Spirulina platensis against chromium-induced nephrotoxicity. A total of 36 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 equal groups (Gps). Gp1 served as control, rats of Gps 2, 3, and 4 were exposed to Spirulina platensis (300 mg/kg b.wt per os) and sodium dichromate dihydrate (SDD) via drinking water at concentrat...

Blue-green alga (Spirulina platensis) is a well renowned nutri-supplement due to its high nutritional and medicinal properties. The aim of this study was to examine the wound healing efficiency of Spirulina platensis at various solvent extracts using in vitro scratch assay on human dermal fibroblast cells (HDF). Various gradient solvent extracts (50 μg/ml of methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous ex...
