Phycoerythrin from <i>Colaconema</i> sp. Has Immunostimulatory Effects on the Whiteleg Shrimp <i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i> and Increases Resistance to <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> and White Spot Syndrome Virus

We investigated whether phycoerythrin (PE), a pigment sourced from marine algae, could act as an immunomodulatory agent in whiteleg shrimp (<i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i>). To this end, PE was extracted and purified from a PE-rich macroalgae, <i>Colaconema</i> sp. Our in vitro a...
