What can cyanobacteria do that the bacteria living in your mouth do not do?
Probably the most obvious difference between cyanobacteria and the bacteria living in your mouth is the green color of cyanobacteria, pointing to probably the most important thing they can do that human oral bacteria cannot, and that is photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria have their characteristic color because of the chlorophyll pigment which allows them to convert light energy into food. Cyanobacteria can also form long filaments and sheets, which is something mouth bacteria cannot do. Cyanobacteria also produce toxins that are deadly to humans, something that oral bacteria obviously do not do, although recent research indicates that certain oral bacteria may help in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, leading to possible heart disease, so they may be dangerous to humans (besides tooth decay) for other reasons.
6 Name the pigment in cyanobacteria?
One of the pigments in Cyanobacteria is Zeaxanthin.
The gel-like substance covering some cyanobacteria enables them to?
adhere to surfaces and form colonies. It also protects them from harmful environmental conditions and helps them to access nutrients. The gel-like substance is often referred to as a biofilm or extracellular matrix.
What organisms are the first to photosynthesize?
Scientists believe the first photosynthetic organisms may have been cyanobacteria. This is believed because the biochemical pathways in the unicellular cyanobacteria.
How are cyanobacteria different from other bacteria?
A cyanobacteria obtains its energy from photosynthesis and bacteria can get energy from almost anything. Bacteria can survive in soil, water, hot springs, waste, and in the Earth's crust and cyanobacteria cannot.
Cyanobacteria or alga living in tissues of fungus is an example of what?
symbiosis
What has the author Elizabeth Lowell Mann written?
Elizabeth Lowell Mann has written: 'Trace metals and the ecology of marine cyanobacteria' -- subject(s): Cyanobacteria, Cytogenetics, Ecology, Effect of water pollution on, Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Metals, Marine phytoplankton, Metals
What is the name of the first living being in the world?
The first living thing discovered in the Precambrian Era was the Cyanobacteria.
Is Cyanobacteria a consumers or producers?
The cyanobacteria is a consumer
What living things carry out photosynthesis?
Plants, Algae, and some Prokaryotes can also carry out photosynthesis. Prokaryotes such as Cyanobacteria.
What living thing respond to environmental stiuli?
All living things do.
Names for bacteria that live in water?
Some common names for bacteria that live in water include cyanobacteria, heterotrophic bacteria, and nitrifying bacteria. These bacteria play essential roles in the aquatic ecosystem by participating in nutrient cycling, decomposition, and overall water quality maintenance.
How are cyanobacteria different from most bacteria?
Cyanobacteria can undergo photosynthesis.

The lowest level of environmental complexity that includes living and non living factors is the?
individual
What is The study of living things and their environmental is called?
It is ecology.
What is the gram test for cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria refers to a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. The gram test for cyanobacteria is negative.
