Iron Content, Iron Speciation and Phycocyanin in Commercial Samples of Arthrospira spp.

Published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences

Cyanobacteria are characterized by high iron content. In this research, we collected ten commercial samples of Arthrospira spp. sold as food supplement to determine iron content and assess whether iron speciation showed variability among samples and changed respect to A. platensis grown in controlled conditions. Particular attention was also paid t...
