The study on the dynamics of the accumulation of sulfated exopolysaccharides in the cultural liquid during the cultivation of spirulina in the presence of the coordinative compound [CuL(NO3)2]

Abstract

Spirulina platensis is one of the key organisms that has shown interesting results in the treatment of some tumors, viral infections and immunodeficiency. Spirulina polysaccharides possess antitumor, antioxidant, immunomodulatory and antiviral activity. Thus, the study of these bioactive substances is of great interest with a view to their application in various fields (pharmaceutics, food, bioremediation, etc.). In order to establish the cultivation period required for the maximum accumulation of exopolysaccharides (EPS), the dynamics of the accumulation of sulfated exopolysaccharides in spirulina was studied.
