Purification, characterization and comparison of phycoerythrins from three different marine cyanobacterial cultures

The present study is focused on purification, characterization and comparison of phycoerythrins from three different marine cyanobacterial cultures – Phormidium sp. A27DM, Lyngbya sp. A09DM and Halomicronema sp. A32DM. ‘Phycoerythrin’ was successfully purified and characterized. On SDS–PAGE, the PE purified from all three young cultures showed four bands – corresponding to α and β subunits of each of PE-I and PE-II. However, phycoerythrin...
