Abstract

The study was aimed to determine phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin, cultivated in 4 different culture media, including Z, N, CH1 and CL1. One gram of dry alga cultivated in medium Z gave significantly had highest phycocyanin of 100.14 mg. whereas the significantly highest allophycocyanin of 40.81 mg was obtained from medium N. Phycoerythrin was rather low with no significant difference in all the media.
