Abstract Phycocyanin, a phycobiliprotein, is one of the few natural blue pigments available as food colourant, and it largely used in industry. We have devised an innovative two-step extraction process which allowed to obtain bright phycocyanin crude extracts with high purity grade P (within 2.5 3.5) directly from fresh biomass Arthrospira platensis Gomont 1892 (commonly named Spirulina). found out for first time exploited ammonium sulphate capability minimize release water soluble...
This research aimed to characterise hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria isolated from naturally hydrocarbon-contaminated springs and the surrounding soils in Agri Valley (Southern Italy) assess effectiveness of bioaugmentation using a four-strain microbial consortium for removing hydrocarbons artificially diesel-contaminated lake waters mesocosm experiments. Four novel bacterial strains were selected experimentation: Gordonia amicalis S2S5, Rhodococcus erythropolis S2W2, Acinetobacter tibetensis...
