Potential Antioxidant and Anticancer Activities of Secondary Metabolites of <i>Nostoc linckia</i> Cultivated under Zn and Cu Stress Conditions

The objective of the present study is to determine the antioxidant and anticancer activities of <i>Nostoc linckia</i> extracts cultivated under heavy metal stress conditions (0.44, 0.88, and 1.76 mg/L for zinc and 0.158, 0.316, 0.632 mg/L for copper). Phycobiliprotein, phenolic compounds...
