Scholes and his team studied the light-harvesting protein complexes within algae by using laser pulses to mimic absorption of sunlight.

斯科尔斯和他的研究小组利用激光脉冲模拟太阳光的吸收，研究了海藻的聚光蛋白复合物。

Phycocyanin not only was the most important light-harvesting protein of algae, but had most potential to be explored to be healthy food and medicine for people.

藻蓝蛋白不仅是藻类的主要捕光色素蛋白，而且具有重要的开发利用价值。

In the living algae cell, phycocyanin can serve as a protein storage unit and as an antioxidant, protecting the cell from certain wavelengths light damage.

在活细胞中，藻蓝蛋白既可以作为蛋白存储单位，也可以作为抗氧化剂，使细胞在一定限度内免受光损伤。

The idea that this algae protein might be used to control human cells was obvious, but there were all sorts of reasons that it might not work.

He also notes that using land for growing algae produces 40 times as much protein per acre as growing soybeans, while consuming about 1% of the amount of fresh water needed to grow soy.

But the company has discovered that its algae can be processed into other useful things: feed for fish farms, protein powders for food supplements and omega-3 fatty acids used in a variety of supplements and pharma products.
