What is Small-scale Production and Business Plan for Phycocyanin from Cyanobacteria about?

Phycobiliproteins are water-soluble proteins present in cyanobacteria and certain algae. They capture light energy, which is then passed on to chlorophylls during photosynthesis. The major phycobiliproteins are phycocyanin, phycoerythrin, and allophycocyanin. The C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is a blue coloured pigment in cyanobacteria, which is considered as a healthy ingredient in cyanobacterialbased foods products while its colouring, fluorescent, or antioxidant properties are utilized only to a minor extent. However, recent research and developments in C-PC synthesis and functionality have expanded the potential applications of C-PC in biotechnology, diagnostics, foods, and medicine. The productivity of C-PC has been increased in heterotrophic, high cell density cultures that are grown under well-controlled and axenic conditions. C-PC purification protocols based on various chromatographic principles or novel two-phase aqueous R. Nazar (\*)
