Question

Cyanobacteria population may bloom, what are the consequences of suh event and what are the effects of day night possible cycle

Answer 1

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae are found in the oldest known fossils, dating back 3.5 billion years. They were the organisms that caused the first mass extinction on earth, but are also the reason for the earth as we know it today. They released the first oxygen molecules into the atmosphere. Today, cyanobacteria are still common in waterbodies all over the world. Cyanobacterial blooms can lead to a depletion of oxygen in the water, a release of toxins, as well as taste and odour problems.
