Environmental and Technological Stresses and Their Management in Cyanobacteria

Abstract

This present chapter emphasizes the data on environmental and technological stresses in cyanobacteria (namely Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) and Nostoc linckia). The factors investigated were: light, temperature, salinity, and chemical stimulants. Common elements have been established for cyanobacterial response to the stress caused by various factors, as well as specific elements depending on the culture and type of stress.
