Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyanobacteria are a group of photosynthetic bacteria that use chlorophyll a and release oxygen during photosynthesis. They are not the only group of photosynthetic bacteria but they are a diverse group of bacteria. Cyanobacteria reproduce asexually through binary fission and do not have the ability to reproduce sexually. They are also considered facultative aerobes and can survive in oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor environments.
