Cyanobacteria have been studied for a long time for their interesting morphology, diversity and physiology but pioneering work in the last decades has raised the level of these microbes to be viewed with favour in biotechnology-relevant fields. Therefore, it is essential not only to understand and describe the diversity of cyanobacteria in yet unexplored habitats but also to gainfully exploit them for various industrial applications. This requires combined efforts of taxonomists, molecular biologists, biochemists, engineers and industry-related scientists as well as politicians and policy makers.
