Wheat embryo albumin (WEA), rich in amino acids with a good balanced proportion, demonstrates plentiful biological activities. The effects of WEA and its peptide with the best antioxidant ability (F3) as a post-workout and pre-workout energy supplement on alleviating acute exercise fatigue were investigated. Under two experimental cases, the exhaustion-to-death swimming time and exhaustion swimming time were determined.

In the glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism pathways, the gene expressions involved in the synthesis of cell wall functional components were analyzed. The results showed that in the cell wall defective strain, arabinosyltransferase gene (, ) related to synthesis of plant extensin and some cell wall structural protein genes (, , , , ) were up-regulated, 1,3-β-glucan synthase gene () and endoglucanase gene () about synthesis and degradation of glycoskeleton were both mainly up-regulated.

In this research, the response surface method was used to study the effects of light cycle, light intensity and red-blue LED conditions on the growth and organic matter accumulation in spiral shaped strain OUC623 and linear shaped strain OUC793. The light conditions suitable for OUC623 were as follows: growth (light time 12.

The shape of the filaments, such as the length and the pitch, may change with the changes in the environment. Natural Arthrospira platensis FACHB793 is linear, although it has become helical due to a mutation introduced in the process of cultivation.
