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.

Which of the following is NOT a major branch of domain Bacteria A. eubacteria B. cyanobacteria?

Cyanobacteria is not a major branch of domain Bacteria. Eubacteria, on the other hand, is a major branch and includes many different types of bacteria. Cyanobacteria is a specific group of photosynthetic bacteria within the domain Bacteria.


What can cyanobacteria do that bacteria cannot do?

Cyanobacteria can photosynthesize like plants, using sunlight to produce energy from water and carbon dioxide. This ability is not found in most other types of bacteria. Additionally, cyanobacteria can produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, contributing to the Earth's atmospheric oxygen levels.


Is bacteria used in photosynthesis?

Yes, certain bacteria, specifically cyanobacteria, are capable of photosynthesis. They use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, similar to plants. Cyanobacteria play a crucial role in ecosystems by contributing to oxygen production and serving as a primary producer in aquatic environments. Other bacteria, like purple and green sulfur bacteria, perform a different type of photosynthesis that does not produce oxygen.


Why is cyanobacteria bacteria not algae?

At one time cyanobacteria were called blue-green algae and were included with the algae. However, like bacteria and unlike algae, cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, meaning that they do not have a nucleus. For this reason they were removed from the algae (which are eukaryotes) and put into the bacteria, with all the other prokaryotes. See: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/bacteria/cyanomm.html http://fig.cox.miami.edu/Faculty/Dana/cyano.html


Do cyanobacteria have a cell wall?

Yes. They have a thick gelatinous cell wall. I think, due to this, they do not participate in quorum sensing like many other bacteria that are colonial. ( do not quote me here; I am an ethologist, not a microbiologist )

What is the classification of cyanobacteria?

Cyanobacteria is the phylum of bacteria. Often called blue-green algae, it belongs to the bacteria domain and the eubacteria kingdom.


What kind of organism is Cyanobacteria?

Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis.


Is cyanobacteria classified as gram negative?

Yes, cyanobacteria are classified as gram negative bacteria.


What kingdom does cyanobacteria belongs to?

"Bacteria" refers to a whole domain of organisms, which is a classificational level above kingdom. The domain is called "Bacteria", and it contains several kingdoms of bacteria. Cyanobacteria are their own kingdom, generally called "Cyanobacteria" which is part of Archaebacteria.
