Four cyanobacterial strains including Cyanosarcina sp. SK40, Phormidium sp. PD40-1, Scytonema sp. TP40 and Leptolyngbya sp. KC45 were selected and investigated for the phycobiliprotein (PBP) content and thermostable antioxidant activity of their cell-free extracts. The highest content of 181.63mg/g...
