Cyanobacterial Biology in 21st Century

Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous and, undoubtedly, agriculturally essential organisms. Notwithstanding the above, cyanobacteria also serve as a potential source for producing bioactive compounds, nanoparticles, and renewable energy sources. They have been used as well for their stress tolerance and bioremediation potentials fostering the study of these fascinating organisms. Unfortunately, the researches on these organisms are limited in terms of their diversity and distribution across the globe and their application in various biotechnology sectors. In the recent and coming decades, researchers around the world started showing interest in these tiny organisms. However, it is warranted to mention that these researches are scattered. Hence, the present research topic has been designed to compile the recent research going across the globe on different aspects of cyanobacterial biology to understand cyanobacterial physiology and metabolism for future research better. Furthermore, topics have been designed to address the various investigations of the 21st Century in cyanobacteria biotechnology, molecular biology, environmental microbiology and nanotechnology.

The current research topic has been designed to compile recent researches on cyanobacterial biology to understand cyanobacterial physiology and metabolism for future research and application in biotechnology.
