Celebrating Our Earth for Earth Day!

April 20, 2017

Colony cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, is a bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis, under microscope, 3D illustration. Cr. Romanenko Alexey. Shutterstock.

Thank you, cyanobacteria! We humans exist because of tiny organisms—cyanobacteria, or blue-green bacteria—that evolved about 2.7 billion years ago. They flourished in Earth’s warm oceans of that time. They released oxygen gases from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight—the process called photosynthesis. As cyanobacteria created more free oxygen, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere reached…
