Phycocyanin is an important light-harvesting pigment antenna protein in cyanobacteria, rhodophyta, cryptophyta, and glaucophyta, with a variety of bioactivities. The introduction of purification and bioactivities of phycocyanin contributes to a significant improvement in developing it into final processed products. In fact, the knowledge of phycocyanin has experienced a rapid increase in the past 20 years, and has promoted the relevant technological revolution with a decisive contribution to final application. The purpose of this review is to critically introduce the present knowledge of purification and bioactivities of phycocyanin, and to illustrate main problems and prospects.

藻蓝蛋白中的一个重要的捕光天线色素蛋白蓝藻，红藻门，隐藻，和glaucophyta，具有多种生物活性的。引入藻蓝蛋白的纯化和生物活性有助于显着改善将其变为最终加工产品的过程。实际上，在过去的20年中，藻蓝蛋白的知识得到了飞速增长，并促进了相关的技术革命，对最终应用做出了决定性的贡献。这篇综述的目的是批判性地介绍藻蓝蛋白的纯化和生物活性的现有知识，并说明主要问题和前景。
