Introduction to Harmful Traits of Cyanobacteria

S5L4. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about how microorganisms benefit

or harm larger organisms.

a. Construct an argument using scientific evidence to support a claim that some microorganisms are harmful.


While certain types of algae are fundamental for a working marine environment, different species can be harming. A select species of algae produce toxins, which can be detrimental to creatures that ingest them. When algal blooms occur, the expansion of harmful algae can

have negative effects on the wildlife inhabiting the area where the algae resides. These incidents have prompted the passing of huge quantities of fish, ocean turtles, and marine vertebrates. The toxins can lead to certain human illnesses when seafood becomes contaminated. When death causes life forms to fall to the ocean floor, they rot and release bodily compounds that can drain the oxygen in the water.


The entirety of my project has been founded on the unfavorable impacts of cyanobacteria on the Uca Minax fiddler crabs and their particular surroundings. In this upload, I will also focus on the advantages that are imparted by these two species to underline that not all types of algae are unsafe to the biological system. The fundamental advantages of algae come from the way that they can viably convey a lot of oil. This makes the species exceptionally encouraging for new energies with respect to biomass and biofuel. Algae can twofold their

numbers inside hours which prompts the chance of day by day reap. This creates a higher greatness yield than consistently utilized gainful harvests. Alongside their high profitability, recently referenced was their adequacy in conveying a lot of oil utilized for energy alongside sugars. The combination of these two aspects results in algae creating an expected 2,000-5,000 gallons of biofuel per section of land every year. Algae, like different plants, burns-through carbon dioxide (CO2) and delivers oxygen (O2) into the climate which can contribute to the resolution of wider scale problems, for example, a dangerous atmospheric deviation because of the decrease of carbon dioxide. As algae normally resides in unusable water for different harvests, for example, harsh/wastewater, it builds the general effectiveness as the efficiency can be joined with other beneficial yields. Simultaneously, algae additionally assists with enhancing the water in which it is developing a direct result of its utilization of regularly harmful waste and hindering supplements. While the development from these algal developments can vigorously contribute towards biomass fuel, the creation from numerous macroalgae's can be utilized for feed just as numerous dietary enhancements. Its utilization

likewise reaches out to certain business items, for example, plastics, substance feedstocks, oils, manures, and certain restorative items. Certain subspecies of green growth, for example, Spirulina and Chlorella have numerous medical advantages identifying with the corrective items and dietary enhancements recently referenced as they have significant levels of zinc, iron, magnesium, nutrient B2, calories, fat, and omega-3 unsaturated fats. The advantages of cyanobacteria explicitly are based around comparable ideas of biofuel and the decrease of agro-synthetic substances.



1. In the blanks below, write down three harmful and three beneficial traits that cyanobacteria possesses and proceed to write if you think the species needs to be removed from our wetlands because of its detriments.
