Abstract

Algae are the plant of the very simple body organization; they are the first photosynthetic plant group in the evolution which marks the life in the evolution. Algae are much diversified, they are divided on the basis of the several parameters, and some of them were on the basis of the pigmentations, reserve food material and types of the reproductive body, types of the life cycles (artificial classifications). Here we are presenting some of the aspects of the algal class termed as the cyanophyacae, the members of the algae are termed as the blue green algae. they are ubiquitous in the distribution. They are prokaryotic in organization, they reproduce by means of the vegetative and the asexual mode of the reproductions, Fossil evidences of the stromatolites and the calcareous bounds represent the rich ecosystem of the blue green algae and the billions of year of the empire during the course of evolution, now a day’s algae habitat and the aquatic ecosystem are disappearing due to many kinds of the adverse anthropogenic activity, so these ecosystem are needs to be conserve for the maintenance of the biodiversity and genotypes of the algae on the planet.

Keywords: cyanophyacae, biodiversity, fossils, stromatolites, life cycles, pigmentations.
