Detailed explanation-1: -Spirulina is an algae of great importance, as it has a high amount of proteins and is also used by space travellers as food supplement. It is used as a single celled protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reason: Chlorella and Spirulina are unicellular algae. It is a non-flagellated alga. On the other hand, Spirulina is a unicellular blue-green alga.
Detailed explanation-3: -Spirulina (Arthrospira) maxima is a helicoidal, unbranched, and filamentous cyanobacterium belonging to the Oscillatoriaceae family13. S. maxima is a rich source of proteins ( 60–70% of its dry weight), phycobiliprotein, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carotenoids, and minerals14, 15.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spirulina is high in protein content and large amounts of protein can be derived from microbial cultures of Spirulina in a very short period. Being derived from a single-celled organism, such proteins are often called single-cell proteins and can be treated as food. Q.
Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of the algal sources of Single-cell proteins are Spirulina, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and Chondrus crispus.
