In nature, cyanobacteria are the largest source of phycocyanin, and phycocyanin accounts for a large proportion of cyanobacterial cells. If under specific culture conditions, the content of phycocyanin can be increased.
It is a heterodimeric protein composed of two subunits.
Phycocyanin powder appears as a blue powder, and the liquid is viscous after dissolving in water. The protein content is calculated by the measured data. The products supplied by our company are of high purity, few impurities, and excellent efficacy.
