Malinga ndi kafukufuku waposachedwapa wofalitsidwa mu nyuzipepala ya "Exploring Food", gulu la mayiko ochokera ku Israel, Iceland, Denmark, ndi Austria linagwiritsa ntchito sayansi ya sayansi ya zamoyo kulima spirulina yomwe ili ndi bioactive vitamini B12, yomwe ili yofanana ndi nyama ya ng'ombe. Ili ndi lipoti loyamba loti spirulina ili ndi bioactive vitamini B12.
Kafukufuku watsopano akuyembekezeka kuthana ndi chimodzi mwazosowa kwa ma micronutrient. Anthu opitilira 1 biliyoni padziko lonse lapansi ali ndi vuto la kuchepa kwa B12, ndipo kudalira nyama ndi mkaka kuti apeze B12 yokwanira (2.4 micrograms patsiku) kumabweretsa vuto lalikulu ku chilengedwe.
Asayansi akufuna kugwiritsa ntchito spirulina m'malo mwa nyama ndi mkaka, zomwe ndizokhazikika. Komabe, spirulina yachikhalidwe ili ndi mawonekedwe omwe anthu sangagwiritse ntchito mwachilengedwe, zomwe zimalepheretsa kuthekera kwake m'malo mwake.
Gululi lapanga njira ya biotechnology yomwe imagwiritsa ntchito kasamalidwe ka photon (mikhalidwe yowunikira bwino) kuti ipititse patsogolo kupanga vitamini B12 yogwira ntchito mu spirulina, komanso ikupanga mankhwala ena a bioactive omwe ali ndi antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune enhanced function. Njira yatsopanoyi imatha kutulutsa michere yochulukirapo ndikukwaniritsa kusalowerera ndale kwa kaboni. Zomwe zili mu bioactive vitamini B12 mu chikhalidwe choyeretsedwa ndi 1.64 micrograms / 100 magalamu, pamene ng'ombe ndi 0.7-1.5 micrograms / 100 magalamu.
Zotsatirazi zikuwonetsa kuti kuwongolera photosynthesis ya spirulina kudzera mu kuwala kumatha kutulutsa mulingo wofunikira wa vitamini B12 m'thupi la munthu, ndikupereka njira yokhazikika yopitilira zakudya zachikhalidwe zochokera ku nyama.
