Blue-green bacteria may grow too rapidly and cover an entire pond. When this happens, they can use up the oxygen in the pond and kill other living things. Many blue-green bacteria produce a bad odor. The odor is one clue that the water is unfit for drinking. Substances that pollute water are often used by blue-green bacteria for food. The amount of pollution in water is measured by counting the number of blue-green bacteria.

Is chlorophyll in blue bacteria found in chloroplasts?
No, blue-green bacteria do not have chloroplasts. Instead, they contain specialized structures called thylakoids where the photosynthetic pigments, including chlorophyll, are located. These thylakoids are involved in the process of photosynthesis in blue-green bacteria.
What makes blue green bacteria green?
Blue-green bacteria (cyanobacteria) look greenish-blue because of the pigments they contain for photosynthesis. The main pigments are: Chlorophyll-a – 🔹 Gives the green color 🔹 Same pigment found in plants 🔹 Absorbs light for photosynthesis Phycocyanin – 🔹 A blue pigment 🔹 Unique to cyanobacteria and red algae 🔹 Helps absorb light in deeper or shaded water Why do they appear blue-green? The green from chlorophyll-a + the blue from phycocyanin = blue-green appearance. 💡 That’s why they’re called "blue-green algae" (even though they’re bacteria, not algae). Bonus: Some cyanobacteria also have phycoerythrin (a red pigment), which can shift their color more toward reddish or brownish, depending on the species and environment.
Is green algae a decomposer?
Green algae are not decomposers; they are photosynthetic organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis. Decomposers are organisms like fungi and bacteria that break down dead organic matter into simpler forms.
