Abstract

The concept of the Blue Economy, which emphasizes industries based on the ocean, has made cyanobacteria important players. The numerous ways that cyanobacteria contribute to the aquaculture, bioenergy, bioremediation and pharmaceutical industries are examined in this mini-review. This article summarizes current developments and cyanobacteria research initiatives that are promoting economic growth, sustainability and innovation in the marine environment. Cyanobacteria are showing to play a significant role in determining the direction of the Blue Economy, both through their production of bioactive compounds and their role in sequestering carbon.
