In order to assess ability of Spirulina platensis to recover silver and gold ions from the environment the bioaccumulation of silver and gold ions and their effect on growth, proteins and carbohydrates content of Spirulina platensis biomass was studied. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) in concentration range 0.01-1 mg/dm3 and tetrachloroaurate Na[AuCl4] in concentration range 18.5-370 mg/dm3 were added as component of the Spirulina platensis cultivation medium. In case of silver two cultivation media were studied: standard and Cl-free. The process of silver and gold uptake was traced using neutron activation analysis. Presence of silver ions in standard cultivation medium reduced biomass productivity by 66 %, while in Cl-free biomass productivity was reduced by 11.8 % only. The reduction of proteins content by 30 % in Cl-free medium and by 19 % in standard medium was also observed. The experiments showed that in case of gold ions loading, the biomass productivity and protein content were reduced only at high Na[AuCl4] concentration in the medium. The behaviour of carbohydrates content change was similar under silver and gold loadings: decrease at low metal concentration followed by increase at high metal concentrations. Scanning electron microscopy allowed observation of spherical metal nanoparticles, which were formed extracellularly during silver and gold bioaccumulation. Spirulina platensis can be used for recovery of precious metals as well as metal nanoparticles production.

Spirulina platensis biomass is widely applied for different technological purposes. The process of lanthanum, chromium, uranium and vanadium accumulation and biosorption by Spirulina platensis biomass from single- and multi-component systems was studied. The influence of multi-component system on the spirulina biomass growth was less pronounced in comparison with the single-component ones. To trace the uptake of metals by spirulina biomass the neutron activation analysis was used. In the experiment on the accumulation the efficiency of studied metal uptake changes in the following order: La(V) > Cr(III) > U(VI) > V(V) (single-metal solutions) and Cr(III) > La(V) > V(V) > U(VI) (multi-metal system). The process of metals biosorption was studied during a two-hour experiment. The highest rate of metal adsorption for single-component systems was observed for lanthanum and chromium. While for the multi-component system the significant increase of vanadium and chromium content in biomass was observed. In biosorption experiments the rate of biosorption and the Kd value were calculated for each metal. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to identify functional groups responsible for metal binding. The results of the present work show that spirulina biomass can be implemented as a low-cost sorbent for metal removal from industrial wastewater.

The synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles by the blue-green algae Spirulina platensis for medical purposes was studied. A complex of optical and analytical methods was used in order to characterize produced nanoparticles. It was shown that the extracellular formation of metal nanoparticles of spherical shape with sizes in the range between 8 and 40 nm (the average size of 20-30 nm) takes place. The characteristics of gold and silver nanoparticles in the Spirulina biomass were compared. The role of biosorption processes in the synthesis of nanoparticles was estimated by using equilibrium dialysis. A positive influence of sonication on the process of microbial synthesis and yield of nanoparticles were demonstrated. The neutron activation analysis and the atomic absorption spectrometry were applied for characterizing the dynamics of gold and silver nanoparticles formation in the Spirulina platensis biomass. The neutron activation analysis was used for studying the elemental content of the Spirulina platensis biomass.

Zbadano syntezę nanocząstek złota i srebra przez niebieskozielone glony Spirulina platensis, które są wykorzystywane do celów medycznych. Do scharakteryzowania wytworzonych nanocząstek zastosowano szereg metod optycznych i analitycznych. Wykazano, że zachodzi tworzenie pozakomórkowej, sferycznej nanocząstki o rozmiarach w zakresie od 8 do 40 nm (średnia wielkość 20-30 nm). Porównano charakterystyki nanocząstek złota i srebra wytworzonych w biomasie Spiruliny. Do oceny roli procesów biosorpcji w syntezie nanocząstek wykorzystano dializy równowagowe. Wykazano pozytywny wpływ ultradźwięków na procesy mikrobiologiczne i na wydajność syntezy nanocząstek. Do określenia dynamiki tworzenia nanocząsteczek złota i srebra w biomasie Spirulina platensis zastosowano neutronową analizę aktywacyjną i spektrometrię absorpcji atomowej. Stężenia pierwiastków w biomasie Spirulina platensis określono za pomocą neutronowej analizy aktywacyjnej.

A blue-green alga Spirulina platensis biomass is used as a basis for the development of pharmaceutical substances containing such vitally important trace elements, as selenium, chromium and iodine. Using neutron activation analysis the possibility of target-oriented introduction of these elements into the Spirulina platensis biocomplexes retaining its protein composition and natural beneficial properties has been proved. The curves of the dependence of the introduced element accumulation in the Spirulina biomass on its concentration in a nutrient medium, which make it possible to accurately measure out the required doses of the specified element in a substance, have been obtained. The peculiarities of interaction of various chromium forms (Cr(III) and Cr(VI)) with the Spirulina platensis biomass have been studied. It has been found that from a nutrient medium its cells mainly accumulate vitally essential form Cr(III) rather than toxic Cr(VI). Using the EPR technique and colorimetry it has been demonstrated that the Spirulina platensis biomass enriched with Cr(III) is free from other toxic chromium forms. The developed technique can be used in pharmaceutical industry for the production of preparations containing Se, Cr, I, etc. on the basis of Spirulina platensis biomass with the preservation of its natural beneficial properties and protein composition.

Biomasa niebiesko-zielonych glonów Spirulina platensis jest wykorzystywana jako główny składnik opracowywanych preparatów farmaceutycznych zawierających takie niezwykle ważne pierwiastki śladowe, jak selen, chrom i jod. Udowodniono, wykorzystując neutronową analizą aktywacyjna, możliwość terowanego wprowadzenia tych biopierwiastków do biokompleksu ze Spirulina platensis, zachowując skład jej białka oraz korzystne właściwości fizyczne. Krzywe zależności akumulacji wprowadzanego pierwiastka w biomasie Spiruliny do jego stężenie w pożywce, umożliwiają dokładny pomiar obecnie wymaganej dawki określonych pierwiastków w otrzymanym preparacie. Badano wpływ różnych stopni utlenienia chromu (Cr(III) i Cr(VI)) na biomasę Spirulina platensis. Stwierdzono, że w komórkach glonów akumulowała się z pożywki głównie niezbędna dla życia forma Cr(III), a nie toksyczna Cr(VI). Korzystając ze spektrometrii EPR oraz kolorymetrii, wykazano, że biomasa Spiruliny platensis wzbogacona formą Cr(III) jest wolna od toksycznych form chromu. Opracowana technika może być wykorzystana w przemyśle farmaceutycznym do produkcji preparatów zawierających selen, chrom i jod itp. z biomasy Spiruliny platensis, z zachowaniem jej korzystnych właściwości fizycznych i składu białka.
