Abstract
Description
(1) Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the stabilization technology of complete phycobilisomes of cyanobacteria and red algae, and belongs to the technical field of marine biology. (2) Background technology
[0002] Phycobiliprotein is a kind of photosynthetic light-harvesting pigment-protein complex, which mainly exists in cyanobacteria, red algae, cryptophyta and a few dinoflagellates. It plays a role in capturing and transmitting light energy in photosynthesis, and has strong fluorescence. In cyanobacteria and red algae, the supramolecular structure phycobilisome is composed of 2-3 kinds of phycobiliproteins, forming an efficient energy transfer sequence. In the mid-1980s, American scholars who studied algae photosynthesis proposed to use phycobiliprotein as a fluorescent marker for diagnostic reagents. Compared with commonly used fluorescent markers, phycobiliprotein has the following advantages: the production process is safe, non-toxic, strong light ener...
