Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Microorganisms are the natural habitants of environment, persisting in typically three types of conditions. They are saprophytic, parasitic and symbiotic. Symbiotic condition is when both the parasite and the host are benefited from each other in natural ecological conditions. Cyanobacteria is related with the symbiotic nature benefiting the natural environment with a number of aspects in agriculture fields, biotech fields, pharmaceuticals, food and many other related fields. Cyanobacteria are aquatic and photosynthetic, that is, they live in the water, and can manufacture their own food. Because they are bacteria, they are quite small and usually unicellular, though they often grow in colonies large enough to see. They have the distinction of being the oldest known fossils, more than 3.5 billion years old. The above article is a sincere effort to bring out the summarized information of the above microorganism.
