Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, were the first organisms to use photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, which led to the formation of the oxygen-rich atmosphere on Earth, facilitating human evolution.
In nutrient-rich waters, blue-green algae can multiply rapidly, forming thick layers that block oxygen from reaching the lower waters, causing harm to aquatic life, and producing toxins harmful to animals and humans.
