What is another word for class cyanobacteria?
Pronunciation: [klˈas sˌa͡ɪɐnˌɒbɐktˈi͡əɹɪə] (IPA) 
Class Cyanobacteria is a group of photosynthetic bacteria that play a crucial role in the ecology of aquatic and terrestrial habitats. These bacteria are also known as blue-green algae due to their blue-green pigmentation. However, the term "blue-green algae" can be confusing as they are not truly algae but bacteria. Another synonym for class Cyanobacteria is "Cyanophyceae," which is an outdated term. Other common synonyms for this class of bacteria include "Cyanobacteriia" and "Cyanophyta." These bacteria are important for fixing atmospheric nitrogen and providing oxygen for aquatic habitats. However, some species of Cyanobacteria can produce harmful toxins, posing a serious threat to human and animal health.
