CYANOBACTERIA
Ecology
-
-
-
Few live in lichens, plant, sponge and various protists
-

-
Introduction
-
-
-
Contain internal membranes, thylakoids
a flattened sacs, located in the pigments
-
-
-
Nitrogen fixation
Heterocysts forming species responsible for nitrogen fixation by converting nitrogen gas into ammonia and nitrites and nitrates
Cyanobacteria can be found growing as an epiphytes on a surface of green alga, where they may fix nitrogen

Morphological forms
-
Filamentous
Function
-
-
Akinetes - Enlarge vegetative cell wall (3 layers), responsible in storing food during cell dormant

Photosynthesis
Carbon fixation
Aquatic organism uses several method known as 'CO2 concentrating mechanism' to aid in acquisition of inorganic CO2 or bicarbonate
Bacterial microcompartment known as carboxysome that corporate with active transporter of CO2 and bicarbonate to accumulate bicarbonate into cell cytoplasm
Carboxysome attached the CO2 fixing enzyme, RuBisCo and carbonic anhydrase to the interior shell using metabolic channeling to enhance CO2 concentration thus increase RuBisCo enzyme efficiency
Cyanobacteria uses sunlight as energy to trigger photosynthesis process which is a process where organic compound is synthesize from carbon dioxide with an aid of sunlight
-
Movement
Filamentous
-
-
Gliding is a form of movement differ from crawling or swimming, it does not rely on external organ or change in shape by the presence of substrate
