The difference between Cyanobacteria  and Chemosynthetic bacteria

Cyanobacteria is also known as the blue green algae.  They always differ mostly with other bacteria's in that cyanobacteria possess chlorophyll, while most bacteria;s do not contain chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll gives them their characteristics blue green color.   They are on e of the most successful groups of organisms that have survived for about three billion years.

They can also live in extreme habitats like hot spring and under side of ice bergs.

They are comparatively large and flagella is always absent from them.

Spore formation is not endogenous.

They are only found in the presence of sunlight and moisture.


Chemosynthetic bacteria rely on chemical compounds to create their food, because they interact with light to absorb only certain wave lengths.

Chemosythetic bacteria use chemical reaction to make energy.

They get their energy to synthesize carbohydrate from chemical oxidation of simple inorganic compounds.
