It was shown that eight stages of transition are observed in the heating process of Spirulina platensis cells in temperature range 5-140 degrees C. The first stage covers the temperature range 5-53 degrees C with maximum approximately 45 degrees C. The heat evolved in this temperature range is equal to 380 +/- 20 J/g of dry biomass, it does not change at scanning rate lower than 0.
