Advantages of Cyanobacterial Bioactive-Compounds

Abstract

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryote found commonly in natural resources, and are able to produce secondary metabolites such as photosynthetic pigments and self-defense biocompounds. These cyanobacterial biocompounds are variously applied in environments, foods, agricultures and medications for antimicrobial properties, antimultifunctional metabolisms, anticancer, antialgae bloom and used as insecticides.
