Blue green algae are also known as blue algae, blue-green bacteria, cyanobacteria or Cyanophyta. They are found in the phylum Cyanobacteria in the domain Bacteria and are a type of bacteria that produces their own energy from sun-light through photosynthesis, just like algae and plants do.
Blue-green algae make up the division Cyanophyta in the kingdom Monera, which is made up of about 1,500 species of prokaryotic organisms. There is disagreement on whether or not this division should be considered algae or bacteria. Cyanobacteria (Blue Green Algae) differ from other types of bacteria in that they have chlorophyll a, which other photosynthetic bacteria donât have. Another characteristic that supports the algae argument is the fact that free oxygen is given off in blue-green algae photosynthesis but it is not given off in the photosynthesis of other bacteria. Many bacteria split H 2 S instead of H 2 O as a source of electrons during their photosynthesis; this is why they donât produce free O 2.
