The autotrophic cyanobacteria Arthrospira sp. is generally known as Spirulina sp. The unique nature of the cell is its high protein synthesis capacity. The protein content can reach up to 70% of the total cell mass. Spirulina sp. is a multicellular and filamentous cyanobacterium. They appear blue-green due to the presence of phycocyanin pigment. The cells arranged in cylindrical unbranched filamentous forms appear as helicoidal trichomes. Spirulina sp. are really noteworthy and they are explored to a great extent due to its antioxidant property. These microscopic plants show the major biological activities, including antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, and anti- obesity. Though they are under-exploited for its biotic potential in the phytoplankton groups as probiotic and role in enhancing the gut microflora. This paper reviews the outlines of our understanding of Spirulina sp. and its immunomodulatory effects.
