Abstract
Blue-green algae are becoming known as cyanobacteria. They are prokaryotes, but their photosynthetic apparatus is very similar to that found in higher plants. Comparisons of the amino acid sequences of specific proteins from various species of cyanobacteria give clues about the evolution and taxonomy of the cyanobacteria.Keywords
