Resumen

In response to the article “Spirulina applications-marine plant: panoramic review” by Ochoa and Moyano (2022), we would like to point that the word “plant” in the title of the article (since it is a Cyanobacterium or, in more general terms, an alga) might not be appropriate. Additionally, we would like to suggest some formatting observations regarding the nomenclature (italics are not used) and an update on the scientific name of Spirulina (genus Limnospira).
