They use sunlight to make their own food. In warm, nutrient-rich environments, microscopic cyanobacteria can grow quickly, creating blooms that spread across the water??'s surface and may become visible. Because of the color, texture, and location of these blooms, the common name for cyanobacteria is blue-green algae. However, cyanobacteria are related more closely to bacteria than to algae. Cyanobacteria are found worldwide, from Brazil to China, Australia to the United States. In warmer climates, these Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record In Springer eBooks Subject Algal blooms -- Health aspects Algal blooms -- Prevention Cyanobacterial blooms -- Health aspects Cyanobacterial blooms -- Prevention Cyanobacterial toxins -- Environmental aspects Cyanobacterial toxins -- Health aspects Eutrophication.
