Unraveling of Chlorella-associated bacterial load, diversity, and their imputed functions at high- and low-yield conditions through metagenome sequencing.

Chlorella-associated bacteria can have a significant influence on facilitating higher Chlorella biomass yield due to their symbiotic relationship. In this study, non-axenic Chlorella was cultivated in an airlift photobioreactor at high and low-yield conditions. The associated bacterial diversity was analyzed using 16S rRNA metagenome sequencing.

Improvement of vitamin B status with Spirulina supplementation in Wistar rats validated through functional and circulatory markers.

Spirulina evaluated as a source of vitamin B through the modulation of vitamin B deficiency mediated physiological and biochemical changes in experimental animals. The B deficient male weanling Wistar rats were fed with Spirulina-supplemented diet for 10 weeks. An increase in urinary methylmalonic acid (22.
