Abstract
Spirulina is currently popular in the food, cosmetic and medical industries. Spirulina can produce the important bio-substance C-phycocyanin. Spirulina cultivation has extrinsic factors for improving C-phycocyanin and biomass production, such as light intensity, nitrate concentration, pH, and temperature. In addition, the optimum conditions and nutrients had affected cell stress conditions. High-content C-phycocyanin accumulated through the C-phycocyanin synthesis pathway under stress conditions. C-phycocyanin has important biological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cholesterol reduction properties. Due to these attractive properties, the application of C-phycocyanin is increasing in various industries. Therefore, Spirulina is considered a potential source of C-phycocyanin.
