Isolation, Identification and Pigment Analysis of Novel Cyanobacterial Strains from Thermal Springs.

ABSTRACT: Cyanobacterial pigments have attracted considerable attention in industry due to their bioactive potential and natural origin. In the present study, the growth dynamics and pigment composition, in terms of chlorophyll a, total carotenoids and phycobiliprotein content, of four cyanobacterial strains isolated from thermal springs, namely Oscillatoria subbrevis CZS 2201, Phormidium ambiguum CZS 2205, Nostoc calcicola TSZ 2203, and Synechococcus sp. CZS 2204, were investigated. The analysis revealed that the maximum quantity of chlorophyll a and total carotenoids was observed in Oscillatoria subbrevis CZS 2201 (26.49 and 3.44 µg mL^-1), followed by Phormidium ambiguum CZS 2205 (18.64 and 2.32 µg mL^-1), whereas a minim
