Cyanobacteria protect themselves through several mechanisms, including the production of protective pigments such as phycobilins and carotenoids, which help shield them from harmful UV radiation. They also synthesize toxins and secondary metabolites that deter predators and inhibit competitors. Additionally, cyanobacteria can form thick mucilaginous sheaths or biofilms, providing a physical barrier against environmental stresses and desiccation. These adaptations enable cyanobacteria to thrive in diverse and often harsh environments.
Most species of cyanobacteria are enclosed in a gelatinous sheath or mucilage that helps protect the cells and allows them to float on the water's surface.
