Comparative analysis of two Porphyridium species for phycobiliprotein and polysaccharide production under different photoperiods.
Article in Bioresources and bioprocessing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Phycobiliproteins and microalgal exopolysaccharides serve as natural pigments and functional additives in food applications. Current production primarily relies on multicellular algae, where yields are constrained by challenges in achieving high-density cultivation. This study investigated photoperiod effects on growth and production of phycobiliproteins and polysaccharides in two unicellular red algae (Porphyridium purpureum and Porphyridium aerugineum). Results demonstrated that short photoperiods enhanced the accumulation of core phycobiliproteins, specifically by increasing phycoerythrin in P. purpureum to a maximum of 30.5 ± 0.8 mg/g DW and phycocyanin in P. aerugineum to 41.9 ± 0.2 mg/g DW. Conversely, long photoperiods promoted biomass accumulation, yielding peak phycoerythrin production (140.6 ± 0.9 mg/L) in P. purpureum and phycocyanin (137.7 ± 1.2 mg/L) in P. aerugineum at day 12. Both species exhibited superior exopolysaccharide production under long photoperiods, though P. purpureum showed significantly higher productivity (898.7 ± 41.0 mg/L at day 20). These findings offer strategic solutions for sustainable production of food-grade pigments and polysaccharides through optimized unicellular algal cultivation.
