Best Answer

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.
