Spirulina platensis is a microalga that contains a lot of secondary metabolites and is utilized as a dietary supplement. It can inhibit fat peroxidation better compared to the chemical antioxidant. Laboratory-scale closed reactor system was designed for Spirulina cultivation. This research aims to analyze identified secondary metabolite (Phytochemical contents) and the antioxidant activity or value of Inhibition Concentration 50% (IC50) of the fresh lab-scale cultivated Spirulina platensis. The antioxidant content was evaluated using DPPH method (1,1–diphenyl-2-pikrilhidrazil) on various sample concentrations as well as using Vc (Ascorbic Acid) as a positive control. The principle of hydrogen absorption by free radicals from antioxidants was demonstrated with the absorption value using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 517 nm. The results show that Spirulina platensis lab-scale cultivation was resulting in 5.0±0.01 g/10.0 L wet basis on the 10th day. The results show that Spirulina platensis has positive compounds of flavonoid, steroids, triterpenoids, phenolic, and saponins. Fresh Spirulina platensis has a value of IC50 647.045 ppm and Vc as a positive control has the IC50 of 2.085 ppm. The potential as a source of natural antioxidants was categorized as a very weak capacity. Therefore this study can be concluded that Spirulina platensis cultivated in Laboratory-scale has a potential to act as antioxidant candidate.

The synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles by the blue-green algae Spirulina platensis for medical purposes was studied. A complex of optical and analytical methods was used in order to characterize produced nanoparticles. It was shown that the extracellular formation of metal nanoparticles of spherical shape with sizes in the range between 8 and 40 nm (the average size of 20-30 nm) takes place. The characteristics of gold and silver nanoparticles in the Spirulina biomass were compared. The role of biosorption processes in the synthesis of nanoparticles was estimated by using equilibrium dialysis. A positive influence of sonication on the process of microbial synthesis and yield of nanoparticles were demonstrated. The neutron activation analysis and the atomic absorption spectrometry were applied for characterizing the dynamics of gold and silver nanoparticles formation in the Spirulina platensis biomass. The neutron activation analysis was used for studying the elemental content of the Spirulina platensis biomass.

Zbadano syntezę nanocząstek złota i srebra przez niebieskozielone glony Spirulina platensis, które są wykorzystywane do celów medycznych. Do scharakteryzowania wytworzonych nanocząstek zastosowano szereg metod optycznych i analitycznych. Wykazano, że zachodzi tworzenie pozakomórkowej, sferycznej nanocząstki o rozmiarach w zakresie od 8 do 40 nm (średnia wielkość 20-30 nm). Porównano charakterystyki nanocząstek złota i srebra wytworzonych w biomasie Spiruliny. Do oceny roli procesów biosorpcji w syntezie nanocząstek wykorzystano dializy równowagowe. Wykazano pozytywny wpływ ultradźwięków na procesy mikrobiologiczne i na wydajność syntezy nanocząstek. Do określenia dynamiki tworzenia nanocząsteczek złota i srebra w biomasie Spirulina platensis zastosowano neutronową analizę aktywacyjną i spektrometrię absorpcji atomowej. Stężenia pierwiastków w biomasie Spirulina platensis określono za pomocą neutronowej analizy aktywacyjnej
