“…This ability favors its growth over other organisms, which cannot (see below), allowing it to completely dominate the lake under low-nitrogen conditions [22]. Nevertheless, nitrogen-fixation is costly, from an energetic point of view, and the bioavailability of nitrates/nitrites/ammonia certainly enhances its overall growth rate [23]. The latter nutrient, phosphorous, is most likely the determining factor underlying the amount and frequency of AFA blooms, as it would not be able to grow without it.…”

This chapter examines Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) from Oregon’s Klamath Lake, emphasizing its nutritional richness and health benefits. Thriving in a unique volcanic ecosystem, this wild-harvested cyanobacterium is a powerhouse of nutrients, making it a prime focus in the health supplement domain. The chapter highlights AFA’s comprehensive nutritional profile, packed with proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. Special attention is given to AphaMax® and Klamin®, two AFA extracts with significant nutraceutical potential. AphaMax®, rich in AFA-phycocyanins, shows strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing and anti-cancer properties. Klamin®, containing β-phenylethylamine (PEA), is notable for its mental health benefits, particularly in alleviating depression and anxiety, and shows promise in ADHD treatment and neurodegenerative disease management. In essence, the chapter underscores the importance of AFA from Klamath Lake as a key natural resource in the nutritional supplement industry, owing also to its potent health-promoting extracts.
