This work is focused on the experimental evaluation and mathematical modeling of ion exchange expanded-bed chromatography for the purification of C-phycocyanin from crude fermentative broth containing Spirulina platensis cells. Experiments were carried out in different expansion degree to evaluate the

Rhodopsin molecules are photochemically reactive membrane-embedded proteins, with seven transmembrane α-helices, which bind the chromophore retinal (vitamin A aldehyde). They are roughly divided into two groups according to their basic functions: (i) ion transporters such as proton pumps, chloride pumps

Filamentous Anabaena PCC 7120 differentiates nitrogen-fixing specialized cells called heterocysts at regular intervals following removal of combined nitrogen from the medium. Phycobiliproteins are degraded during differentiation. Heterocyst differentiation was followed at the single cell level by using confocal fluorescence microscopy.
