Arthrospira platensis is a filamentous, gram-negative cyanobacterium. This bacterium is non-nitrogen-fixing photoautotroph. [1] It has been isolated in Chenghai Lake, China, soda lakes of East Africa, and subtropical, alkaline lakes. [2] [3] [4]

Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) is the most investigated microalgal specie for usage as a dietary supplement due to its exceptionally high protein and mineral contents. It is one of the oldest known algae throughout history and was discovered …

Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as Spirulina, is one of the best-known microalgae for industrial use and bioproduct extraction, especially in the food industry.

Arthrospira is multicellular and filamentous blue-green microalgae with symbiotic bacteria that fix nitrogen from air. They are photosynthetic, and therefore autotrophic, and reproduced by binary fission. Arthrospira trichomes (filaments), which contain cylindrical cells, aligned together in spirals or in straight lines. The helical shape of ...

Remarkable conservation of internally transcribed spacer sequences of Arthrospira ("Spirulina") (Cyanophyceae, Cyanobacteria) strains from four continents and of recent and 30-year-old dried samples from Africa.

Arthrospira (formerly: Spirulina) platensis (AP) is one of the photoautotrophic, planktonic, filamentous green-blue algae that have become of medical interest. It has been used as a protein-rich nutrient since ancient times for instance by the Kanem in Tchad, in Japan and Korea.

Arthrospira platensis is a filamentous cyanobacterium of the class Cyanophyceae and is the most cultivated photosynthetic prokaryote. It is used in the pharmaceutical sector, medicine and the food industry.

2011年10月31日 · Arthrospira platensis, also known as Spirulina, is a gram negative, non-toxic species of cyanobacteria with a wide array of uses in the natural and commercial world. Its inclusion with the phylum Cyanobacteria as seen in Figure 2 indicates that A. platensis has a characteristic blue-green color (giving the prefix "cyano-") based on the ...

2021年6月9日 · Arthrospira platensis (AP) is a cyanobacterium with a high economic value and is nowadays one of the most important industrially cultivated microalgae. Knowledge of its growth is essential for the understanding of its physiology and yield.

2022年9月26日 · In this short review, we provide an overview of the hydrophilic compounds (phenols, phycobiliproteins, polysaccharides, and vitamins) and lipophilic ingredients (chlorophylls, vitamins, fatty acids, and glycolipids) of Arthrospira platensis. The principal influences of these substances on blood and tissue cells are briefly summarized.
