Blue-green Algae

Cardiac disease, the top cause of death globally, could now be treated using blue-green algae and light to trigger photosynthesis inside the heart, said scientist.

An Indian-origin engineer and his team from Concordia University have created a technology to harness the electrical energy from blue-green algae.

Oxygen on Earth emerged in whiffs from a kind of blue-green algae in shallow oceans around 2.5 billion years ago, helping the origin of life with enough oxygen around to inhale, shows significant research from Canadian and US scientists.
