Differential response of growth, photosynthesis, antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation to UV-B radiation in three cyanobacteria (2009, background): “Since sheath is supposed to be site of production of UV-B protectant compounds and thus, sheath probably reduces UV-B penetration inside the cells, therefore, sheathed cyanobacteria might be tolerant in comparison to one that has less prominent sheath (Singh et al., 2008; Sinha and Häder, 2008).”
Partial characterization of extracellular polysaccharides produced by cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis (2009, background): “Moreover, the EPS spectrum showed an absorption zone between 300~400 nm, which can be attributed to the absorbance of cyanobacterial water-soluble compounds such as mycosporine-like amino acids (MAA) and scytonemin [22].”
