Abstract
Among 18 strains, cyanobacterium Anabaena NCCU-9 contained the highest amount of phycobiliprotein (91 mg/g dry cell weights). Therefore, the effects of various environmental stresses were investigated on its phycobiliprotein production potential. The ideal conditions observed were 30 degrees C, 25 micromol photons/m2/s, white light, pH-8, 16:8 light and dark regimes, nitrogen free medium and 10 mM sodium chloride. Among three pesticides studied malathion showed highest toxicity. Under heavy metal stress the order of toxicity was chromium > cadmium > lead > nickel > copper > zinc.Entities:
