Blue-Green Algae

Most blue-green algae are inconspicuous, forming slimes or velvety coverings on any available surface. Some blue-green algae, not all of which are blue-green in color, are capable of surviving in extreme conditions that kill most other forms of life. Some give off toxins that are harmful or fatal to other forms.

Although it may seem a minor difference between green and blue-green, the names belie a tremendous difference in biology - these are actually photosynthetic Bacteria.
