Scope note: Filo de bacterias capaces de realizar la fotosíntesis oxigénica. Comprende bacterias unicelulares o multicelulares que poseen CLOROFILA y realizan la FOTOSÍNTESIS oxigénica. Las cianobacterias son los únicos organismos conocidos capaces de fijar tanto el DIÓXIDO DE CARBONO (en presencia de luz) como el NITRÓGENO. La morfología celular puede incluir heterocistos fijadores de nitrógeno y células en reposo denominadas acinetos. Previamente denominadas algas verde-azuladas, las cianobacterias se consideraron tradicionalmente como ALGAS.

Scope note: A phylum of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria comprised of unicellular to multicellular bacteria possessing CHLOROPHYLL a and carrying out oxygenic PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Cyanobacteria are the only known organisms capable of fixing both CARBON DIOXIDE (in the presence of light) and NITROGEN. Cell morphology can include nitrogen-fixing heterocysts and/or resting cells called akinetes. Formerly called blue-green algae, cyanobacteria were traditionally treated as ALGAE.
