Summary/Abstract: Spirulina is a descendant of the first photosynthetic life form. It belongs to the class of cyanobacteria with typical photosynthetic abilities. It's a filoid, multicellular bacterium from Genus Spirulina. It develops in alkaline lakes naturally in tropical and subtropical parts of Central Africa and America. Spirulina is called superfood because its nutritional profile is more potent than any other food, plant, grain or herb. It is available on the market in the form of powder, tablets or capsules. Many farms have been created for the production of Spirulina in the world, and already in Bulgaria. First it is cultivated under laboratory conditions as monoculture, and then production is carried out in a photo bioreactor
