Ancient bacteria cause global danger to re-export and develop

Cyanobacteria, after taking up to 2.5 billion years to adapt to the Earth's biosphere, could pose a global threat in the future.

Live Science said that cyanobacteria are often mistaken for cyanobacteria or cyanobacteria due to their characteristic color, which took 2.5 billion years to adapt to the Earth's biosphere. This bacterium lives in a water environment, if nitrogen and phosphorus in the environment of cyanobacteria increase, combining with global warming will make them produce a toxic mucus that makes water is so polluted that it cannot be used in everyday life or in agriculture, leading to a global threat in the future.

The ocean and environmental science professor Hans Paerl, currently working at the Chapel Hill Institute for Ocean Sciences at the University of North California, says that the daily life activities of humans have caused nitrogen and phosphorus in rivers or lakes increases, creating conditions for cyanobacteria to thrive, causing water to be poisoned and unusable.

People who drink water or eat fish with cyanobacteria will develop liver, intestinal and nervous system diseases. Besides, there is a possibility - even though it has not been proven - that food will also be infected if water is used to contain the cyanobacteria.

Scientists are studying the phenomenon of cyanobacteria outbreak in Lake Taihu, China.

Professor Hans Paerl and an international team of researchers are working hard to gain more in-depth understanding of this issue as well as to find ways to restore ecological balance in Taihu Lake - the lake. The third largest country in China. In the future, this type of bacteria can seriously affect global water management. Cyanobacteria have threatened the ecosystems of many other lakes in the world such as Great Lake, Lake Okeechobee, Lake Pontchartrain in North America and many other large lakes in Africa, Asia and South America.

Researchers also warn that global warming is making the situation worse, because cyanobacteria grow strongly in warm conditions.

Cyanobacteria are often mistaken for algae or cyanobacteria, but in fact they are not algae. Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes while algae are eukaryotes. Even so, cyanobacteria also have the same photosynthesis process as common algae, but this type of bacteria prefers warm conditions instead of low temperature conditions like algae.
