Biosynthesis of Fluorescent β Subunits of C-Phycocyanin from Spirulina subsalsa in Escherichia coli, and Their Antioxidant Properties

Phycocyanin, which covalently binds phycocyanobilin chromophores, is not only a candidate fluorescent probe for biological imaging, but also a potential antioxidative agent for healthcare. Herein, a plasmid harboring two cassettes was constructed, with cpcB from Spirulina subsalsa in one cassette an...
