Cyanobacteria: Life History, Ecology and Impact on Humans

Cyanobacteria are a rich source of several novel metabolites having the potential for drug development. They are a promising bioresource for application in sustainable agriculture, medicine, and green nanotechnology. Certain natural compounds of cyanobacteria such as mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and scytonemin, having UV-absorbing/screening and antioxidative properties, could be biotechnolo...
