Spirulina
October 26, 2008
Spirulina is a genus of cyanobacteria, which is also considered blue-green algae. Cyanoprokaryote is also a name which could be used. Spirulina captures energy from sunlight and transforms it into what it needs. So, in that way, it acts more like an algae than a bacterium. Spirulina and Hematococus microalgae for aquaculture feed additives and human nutritional supplements and health foods were the leading species in total value. Its members are not used as dietary supplements as those of Arthrospira are.
