What is the color of cyanobacteria?

Answer 1

Cyanobacteria are one of the earliest life forms known to have existed on Earth: stromatolites (which you can see on certain Coastlines) are mounds of fossilised cynabacteria - the oldest ones to be found are about 3.5 million years old. Because cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis, they're believed to have been one of the main contributory factors to the rise in early atmospheric oxygen levels. Cyanobacteria still exist today; until recently we called them blue-green algae, & they look remarkably similar to their early cousins.

Answer 2

Basicly its found in exteme conditions, such as a hot spring, hot air vents, or volcano. They aid in health of species. Basicly it is found in extreme conditions such as hot springs, hot air vents, or volcanos. They aid in health in species.

Answer 3

Cyanobacteria can be found in almost every terrestrial and aquatic habitat, from oceans to fresh water to bare rock to soil. They can occur as planktonic cells or form phototrophic biofilms in fresh water and marine environments, they occur in damp soil, or even on temporarily moistened rocks in deserts. A few are endosymbionts in lichens, plants, various protists, or sponges and provide energy for the host. Some live in the fur of sloths, providing a form of camouflage.

Answer 4

The colors of cyanobacteria are usually blue or blue-green, but sometimes they can be found to be red or brown. Cyanobacteria are sometimes called "blue-green algae" and are photosynthetic, which means that they manufacture their own food with the help of the sun. These bacteria are very important to the health and growth of plants because cyanobacteria produce the nitrites that plants need and can only get from the soil.

Answer 5

Cyanobacteria are blue-green in color because they are able to conduct photosynthesis. This means they have the green pigment chlorophyll.

Answer 6

water and soil and stuff like that or the desert.

Answer 7

the answer is blue green
