The cell disruption is an important step during the extraction of phycocyanin from Spirulina Platensis. Six methods including swelling, ultrafine shearing, ultrasonication, freezing and thawing, swelling-ultrafine shearing and swelling-ultrafine shearing-ultrasonication were applied to break the cell-wall of S. plarensis. The effects of differentwall-broken methods were evaluated based on the the yield of the phycocyanin. The yield rates of phycocyanin extraction were 8.90%, 7.38%, 8.0%, 8.26%, 9.22%, 8.88%, Respectively,by using the swelling, ultrafine shearing, ultrasonication, thawing and swelling, swelling-ultrafine shearing, swelling-ultrafine shearing-ultrasonication. Finally, the swelling-ultrafine shearing was considered as the best way to break the wall, with swelling for 12 h and the shearing for 5 min.
