The aim of this study was to explore the possibility that Microcystis phycocyanin (MC-PC) functions as a photosensitizer and to investigate the mechanism for the apoptosis induced by Microcystis phycocyanin-mediated photodynamic therapy (MC-PC-PDT) in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2). After

Pigments present in the brown-greenish C morph of an intracellular endosymbiont of Pomacea canaliculata were investigated. Acetone extracts of the endosymbiotic corpuscles showed an absorption spectrum similar to that of chlorophylls. Three fractions obtained from silica gel column chromatography of
