Cyanobacteria are considered by many scientists as the first multicellular organisms to evolve. They appeared several billions of years ago and can be found almost on types of terrains and habitats like terrestrial, aquatic, arid and rocky regions all across the latitudes and longitudes of the Earth. This shows that they are one of the most successful microorganisms to have evolved and survived on the Earth's surface.
