Abstract

Cyanobacteria also called as blue green alga are the probable ancestors of the chloroplast. They are the microbes behind the origin and oxygenation of the ancient earth atmosphere. Their unbeaten evolutionary capability to mitigate harsh conditions is through the production of adaptation proteins and metabolites that has made them survive and transcend from ancient atmosphere to present condition. They are the organisms that fulfill the basic needs of mankind to a certain level by providing resources like food, feed, medicine, biofertilizer, energy source in the form of hydrogen, etc without compromising environmental health. This review is the compilation of the researches of cyanobacterial applications in different fields and to assess their diversity and effect on plant growth in India. It provides future prospects and valuable information in the field of cyanobacterial microbiology through its use in the form of liquid tree.
