Abstract
Photosynthetic cyanobacteria are responsible for almost half of global CO 2 fixation. Due to eutrophication, rising temperatures, and increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, cyanobacteria have gained notoriety for their ability to form massive blooms in both freshwater and marine ecosystems across the globe.Keywords
