![Procedure 4: Photosynthetic Bacteria-Cyanobacteria
These bacteria are still generically called blue-green algae because of the typical color of these
specimens. They normally have a colonial level of organization, being organized in filaments of
identical cells. The importance of these photosynthetic bacteria was largely ignored until more
efficient systems to sample water in the ocean were developed. Today it is clear that more than 50%
of the photosynthesis that takes place in the ocean is due to the activity of these bacteria. We will
observe two samples of cyanobacteria.
Sketch and label the types of cyanobacteria available.
