“…It is known that cyanobacteria synthesis pigments, lipids proteins, polysaccharides, and other compounds with proven bioactivity [38,39]. In addition to that, cyanobacteria have the ability to perform different ways of metabolism and the capacity to quickly switch from one to another as survival mechanisms of adaptation to extreme irradiation, temperature, pH, or salinity conditions generating a wide range of biologically active secondary metabolites [40][41][42][43][44]. More than two thousand secondary metabolites from cyanobacteria have been identified to date [45].…”

“…In the last decades, a considerable increase in the number of preclinical anticancer research has led to the discover of compounds derived from different species that have been applied into human clinical trials [41]. Further, a large number of new and biomolecules from cyanobacteria have shown immunosuppressant, anticancer, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, anticoagulant, anti-tuberculosis, and antiviral activities [16,40,[55][56][57][58][59].…”

Cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae, are a group of prokaryotic microorganisms largely distributed in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. They produce a wide range of bioactive compounds that are mostly used in cosmetics, animal feed and human food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries, and the production of biofuels. Nowadays, the research concerning the use of cyanobacteria in agriculture has pointed out their potential as biofertilizers and as a source of bioactive compounds, such as phycobiliproteins, for plant pathogen control and as inducers of plant systemic resistance. The use of alternative products in place of synthetic ones for plant disease control is also encouraged by European Directive 2009/128/EC. The present up-to-date review gives an overall view of the recent results on the use of cyanobacteria for both their bioprotective effect against fungal and oomycete phytopathogens and their plant biostimulant properties. We highlight the need for considering several factors for a proper and sustainable management of agricultural crops, ranging from the mechanisms by which cyanobacteria reduce plant diseases and modulate plant resistance to the enhancement of plant growth.

“…Several researchers have studied and reported this type of forms from almost all climatic zones. Examples are building facades in Greece [12], buildings in South Eastern, Spain [13][14][15][16][17][18], building in American countries [19], building facades in France [20,21], stone monument and building facades in Italy [22][23][24][25], monuments in Portugal [26,27], monuments in Slovakia [28,29] and modern/old monuments, India [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. In general, the knowledge on sub-aerial Cyanobacteria diversity colonizing building facades and their exploitation in different applications is still limited.…”

Cyanobacteria also known as Blue Green Algae (BGA) are widely distributed in environments. Cyanobacteria or BGA commonly being aquatic are also reported from terrestrial ecosystems like sub-aerial surface of temples, monuments and building facades etc., represent their versatile habitats and extremophilic nature. These organisms are the excellent material for primary and secondary metabolites has been investigated by ecologists, physiologists, biochemists and molecular biologists. Scientists and young researchers require knowledge of the potential cyanobacteria and their exploitation in order to formulate effective natural compound or drug remedies. A large number of reports in literature stress have acknowledged the use of Cyanobacteria in pharmaceutical and industries, due to the production of different secondary metabolites with diverse bioactivities. However, very less study is being carried out with respect to exploitation of these sub-aerial Cyanobacteria group for production of different secondary metabolites with biological activities. Since many cyanobacteria are also able to survive most type of stress/and or extreme, they may become even more important as antimicrobial agents of pharmaceuticals in the future. Hence, special attention is paid to these groups of organisms.
