9. another name for cyanobacterium(blue-green algae), bulk (objetosc) of 10 t of protein per acre is
spirulina and its dried and used as SUPPLEMENT
use
10. Pros and Cons of 1. Protein source 62-71%
Spirulina (6) (1) 2. ow nucleic acid content 4%
3. High vitamin content
4. High in polyunsaturated fats
5.Thin walls - easy digestible
6. Health supplement
CONS - can contain MICROCYSTINS(aminoacids toxic to liver) or heavy metals -
leads to cancer, posison, too much uric acids-stones
11. Why oily fish is Algae like spirulina or chlorella are eaten by krill(oceanic fish) and the omega-3 is
good source of synthetized
OMEGA-3?
