Not only greening: The effects of marennine produced by Haslea ostrearia on physiological traits of three bivalve species

The nanomolar affinity of C-phycocyanin from virtual screening of microalgal bioactive as potential ACE2 inhibitor for COVID-19 therapy

“…CPC can be obtained from Arthrospira platensis (previously known as Spirulina platensis ), a cyanobacteria species that is extensively cultured ( Olaizola, 2003 , Singh et al, 2011 ), mainly as a source of food, feed supplement, and natural blue pigment ( Belay et al, 1996 , McClane et al, 2006 , Singh et al, 2011 ). It is worth noting that CPC from several Arthrospira species has also therapeutic potential but without any adverse effect to the living organisms ( Chamorro et al, 1997 , 1996), in contrast to other natural blue pigments and bioactive compounds such as marennine-like pigments from the marine diatoms Haslea ostrearia and H. nusantara ( Prasetiya et al, 2017 , Prasetiya et al, 2019 , Prasetiya et al, 2020a , Prasetiya et al, 2020b ).…”

Submerged membrane photobioreactor for the cultivation of Haslea ostrearia and the continuous extraction of extracellular marennine

“…The process of greening oysters during the final farming stage before marketing could be improved (Prasetiya et al, 2019). In addition, this process can be integrated into aquaculture industries where marennine could serve as a source of antimicrobial substances to control pathogens affecting certain larval, juvenile or adult stages of farmed animals (bivalves, fish) (Prasetiya et al, 2020a).…”

The need to stabilize the bacterial community present in the cultures of the marine diatom Haslea ostrearia

“…Its particularity comes from its bluish color due to a pigment called marennine [3], making H. ostrearia a subject of study in regard to its economic interest, but also for its possible biomedical applications [4,5]. Indeed, when released into oyster cultures, its large presence colors the oysters' gills a greenish color [6, 7, 8], small changes occur in the oysters and greatly increase their market value in France [8, 9,10].…”
