单词 | cyanobacterium |
释义 | cyanobacteriumn. Microbiology. Any member of a group of organisms (now the phylum Cyanobacteria), comprising Gram-negative bacteria that carry out oxygen-producing photosynthesis, and occur widely in aquatic and moist habitats. Frequently in plural.Cyanobacteria occur in unicellular, filamentous, and colonial forms; they include free-living organisms and others that live in symbiosis with plants and fungi. Under certain conditions cyanobacteria can form blooms (bloom n.1 4e) in water, which may be toxic to other organisms.These organisms were originally thought to be algae, and called blue-green algae because of their blue and green photosynthetic pigments (phycocyanins and chlorophylls). Cf. also cyanophyte n.

Suppl. 10 Aug. 903/3 Atmospheric oxygen was produced by cyanobacteria, a kind of bacteria which used to be called ‘blue green algae’. 2000 C. Tudge Variety of Life ii. ii. 121 Beyond doubt, too, some long-gone cyanobacterium was the ancestor of all chloroplasts, as now found in brown seaweeds, red seaweeds, and plants. 2021 Guardian (Nexis) 4 Jan. 4 Jan.

Y. Stanier in M. J. Carlile & J. J. Skehel Evol. in Microbial World 236 Although the cryptophytes also use phycobiliproteins as light-harvesting pigments, their chloroplasts differ in many structural and functional respects from those of rhodophytes..and cannot plausibly be ascribed a cyanobacterial derivation. 2015 P. B. Wignall Worst of Times iii. 81 The Permo-Triassic oceans were clearly fundamentally different from those today, and the key reasons are likely to have been the lack of any fecal rain, a switch to cyanobacterial plankton, and the vast increase in oxygen consumption by bacteria in warmer waters.
