No wonder its so hard to kill cyano bacteria.

This is blue/green not the red that plagues so many reef tanks, but it sure is tough.

Wow, thank for sharing!

We never actually kill it, cyno is always present we only control the triggers for mass outbreaks. That's why using erythromycin antibiotic (slime remover) is not a goo idea. Resistant strains can develop then super cyno problem

It grew once in a sterile 2.5 gallon of mine.
Filled with ro/di water that was microwaved for 7 minutes.
About 3 weeks later with the lights on 24/7 it grew red cyano.
Seriously how did it get in there.
Regardless it sure is tough to cruise outerspace and come back alive.

If there's one thing nature Teaches us it's that life finds a way , always may not be what we expect or want but it all has it's purpose somewhere. How else would the world be as old as it is.

On a different nite I find cyano makes a great garden salad sprinkled with some pamason cheese and crab bits:) seriously though don't do this:)

Thanks for sharing. One thing that didn't make sense in the article. The researcher saysBut if cyano maybe responsible for the helping of generating oxygen, and helping create the atmosphere; then there initially is no atmosphere. Hence, the bacteria would not burn up, since there would be no friction in the space its traveling in.

Good point.
There may be non oxygen atmospheres too tho.
