In this study, the AILQSYSAGKTK (named AK-12) peptide, also known as AK-12, from the Synechococcus marine microalgae cell extract is examined to determine the mechanism by which tyrosinase inhibition takes place. According to the docking simulation, it is expected that the peptides bind and interact at the tyrosinase active site, with the potential to support the inhibition of tyrosinase. For testing, the required peptides were first synthesized, before the results revealed tyrosinase inhibitory activity for which the respective IC<inf>50</inf> values for mono- and di-phenolase activities were 489.71 ± 0.01 μM, and 765.57 ± 0.01 μM. The characteristics of the different competitive types were shown in a Lineweaver-Burk plot. For the treatment of B16F10 cells, peptide concentrations of 50–400 μM were selected, confirming the absence of cytotoxicity. When the peptide was introduced, both tyrosinase activity and the production of melanin were significantly inhibited. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was then used to assess the suppression of melanin synthesis in MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, TYR (tyrosinase), TRP-1 (tyrosinase-related protein-1) and TRP-2 (tyrosinase-related protein-2). An in vivo toxicity assay was also carried out to evaluate zebrafish embryo cell death, revealing that AK-12 did not significantly affect cell death, while strong anti-melanogenic activity was observed for the concentration of 50 μM. From these findings it could be concluded that the peptide in question may offer potential in future hyperpigmentation treatments.

This study offers an examination of the physicochemical qualities of marine microalgae-derived sulfated polysaccharides (MMPS) from Synechococcus sp. VDW along with an investigation of their antioxidant and antitumor activities. On average, MMPS offered a molecular weight of 190.94 kDa with sulfate content of 16.83 %. There were shown to be four different monosaccharides contained within MMPS. The anticancer characteristics of human colon cancer cell lines (Caco-2) were also investigated. Flow cytometry revealed that MMPS triggered apoptosis at doses of 1 mg mL−1. Meanwhile, analysis of gene and apoptosis protein expression demonstrated that MMPS increased apoptosis in Caco-2 cells via the p38 MAPK and JNK signaling pathways. These findings contribute to our current understanding of how MMPS helps promote tumor suppression. In conclusion, the possibility that MMPS may possess anticancer qualities in the treatment of human colon cancer makes it an appealing candidate for anticancer polysaccharide combinations with chemotherapeutic agents and functional foods.

To investigate the potential of application of marine cyanobacterium for concurrent biomass production and ammonium removal, Synechococcus sp. VDW was cultured under different conditions in medium containing varying concentrations of NH <inf>4</inf> Cl. Response surface methodology (RSM) was then used to build a predictive model of the combined effects of independent variables (pH, inoculum size, ammonium concentration). At the optimum conditions of initial pH 7.4, inoculum size 0.17 (OD730) and ammonium concentration 10.5 mg L –1 , the maximum ammonium removal and biomass productivity were about 95% and 34 mg L –1 d –1 , respectively, after seven days of cultivation. The result of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis showed that the major fatty acids were palmitic acid (C16:0), linoleic acid (C18:2 n6 cis), palmitoleic acid (C16:1) and oleic acid (C18:1 n9 cis), which accounted for more than 80% weight of total fatty acids. Further, analysis of neutral lipid accumulation using flow cytometry revealed that the mean of the fluorescence intensity increased under optimal conditions. These results indicate that Synechococcus sp. VDW has the potential for use for concurrent water treatment and production of biomass that can be applied as biofuel feedstock.

Nitrogen-rich wastewater is a major problem for the aquaculture industry. To investigate whether algae could be used to remove ammonium from brackish shrimp aquaculture wastewater, marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. VDW was cultured in BG11 medium supplemented with Turks Island salt solution and different concentrations of NH<inf>4</inf>Cl (1.0–40.0 mg L−1) for 18 days. The cell density of the Synechococcus sp. VDW cultures increased in medium containing between 1 and 10 mg L−1 of NH<inf>4</inf>Cl, while ammonium concentrations greater than 20.0 mg L−1 had a negative effect on growth. Glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase activities were also examined, and were found to increase with cell density. Meanwhile, glutamate dehydrogenase activity increased in response to high NH<inf>4</inf>Cl concentrations (20.0–40.0 mg L−1). The cellular response to ammonium excess was confirmed by measuring gene expression levels using quantitative PCR. Expression of both glnA and gltB was down-regulated compared with the control, while that of gdhA was up-regulated. At an initial concentration of 1–10 mg L−1, 98–100% of the ammonium was removed by day 6 of cultivation. Therefore, these findings suggest that Synechococcus sp. VDW can remove ammonium from contaminated brackish water, and may be helpful for improving the quality of aquaculture wastewater.
