Over millions of years, oxygen continued to accumulate in the atmosphere, thanks to cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic organisms.
- Blue-green algae | Microorganisms, Photosynthesis & Ecologyblue-green algae, any of a large, heterogeneous group of prokaryotic, principally photosynthetic organisms. Cyanobacteria resemble the eukaryotic algae in many ways, including morphological characteristics and ecological niches, and were at one time treated as algae, hence the common name of blue-green algae. Algae have since been reclassified ...
- Cyanobacterial blooms | Nature Reviews MicrobiologyCyanobacteria are oxygen-producing bacteria that use sunlight as an energy source to convert carbon dioxide (CO 2) into biomass. They originated around 3 billion years ago 1, 2, and their...
