“…Thus, data generated during the study contribute to enriching our knowledge of these cyanobacteria as a resource for biotech industries. The higher production of phycobiliproteins in this growth medium correlate with previously reported data that low-nitrogen media are more suitable for cultivation of cyanobacteria for production of phycobiliproteins [25,26]. It was found that the cell content of PE, PC and APC depends from their taxonomic position and culture conditions.…”

“…It was found that the cell content of PE, PC and APC depends from their taxonomic position and culture conditions. Variations in pH, temperature, light intensity, ligh/dark cycle, nitrogen content of the nutrient medium can influence the production of phycobiliproteins [25,26,28]. Considering this, in our study we varied the cultivation methods (extensively/intensively), as well as the growth media (Z, BG-11 and BBM).…”

Cyanobacteria are unique prokaryotes, which are capable to perform oxygenic photosynthesis. Within these organisms, phycobilisomes (PBS) act as an antenna of the photosynthetic pigment apparatus. Phycobilisomes contain several phycobiliproteins (PBP): phycoerythrin (PE), phycocyanin (PC), allophycocyanin (APC) and phycoerythrocyanin (PEC). The application of phycobiliproteins in the biotechnology, food industry and medicine during the last years is rapidly increasing. The aim of our study was to assess the qualitative and quantitative content of phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and phycoerythrocyanin in 14 cyanobacterial strains kept in Plovdiv Algal Culture Collection (PACC) and 4 strains purchased from the Culture Collection of Autotrophic Organisms (CCALA). Our data demonstrated that three strains of Microcoleus autumnalis (PACC 5505, PACC 5522 and PACC 5527) have high potential to produce phycoerythrins (0.132, 0.201 and 0.136 mg/mL, respectively). Similarly, one Microcoleus autumnalis strain (PACC 5522) and one strain of Leptolyngbya boryana (CCALA 084) are suitable for biotechnological production of phycocyanins (0.051 and 0.264 mg/mL, respectively) as well as allophycocyanins (0.102 and 0.171 mg/mL, respectively). In addition, the data about the pigment content could be used as a biochemical marker for taxonomic purposes within the group.

Nitrogen concentration is an essential parameter in cyanobacterial cultures to produce enriched biomass with biotechnological purposes. Growth and biochemical composition of Nostoc LAUN0015, Nostoc UAM206, Anabaena sp.1 and Anabaena sp.2 were compared at 0, 4.25, 8.5 and 17 mM NaNO 3 . Cultures under laboratory conditions were maintained for 30 days at a volume of 500 mL. Anabaena sp.1 yielded the highest value of dry mass of 0.26 ± 2.49 mg mL -1 at 8.5 mM NaNO 3 . For chlorophyll, phycocyanin and phycoerythrin, maximum values were achieved at 17 mM NaNO 3 with 18.09 ± 1.74, 102.90 ± 6.73 and 53.47 ± 2.40 μg mL -1 , respectively. Nostoc LAUN0015 produced its maximum value of protein 644.86 ± 19.77 μg mL -1 , and 890 mg mL -1 of carbohydrates in the absence of nitrogen. This comparative study shows that the most efficient strain for the production of protein, carbohydrates and lipids in diazotrophic conditions corresponded to Nostoc LAUN0015. However, Anabaena sp.1 and Anabaena sp.2 required high nitrogen concentrations to achieve higher values of metabolites, comparing with Nostoc strains. Nitrogen dependence for the production of pigments and high protein production in strains of Anabaena and in diazotrophic conditions for Nostoc was demonstrated. Nostoc can be cultured under nitrogen deficiency and Anabaena in sufficiency, for biomass production enriched with proteins and carbohydrates.
