Abstract: Stratospheric depletion of ozone layer has resulted in an increase in the solar UV-B radiation (280 to 320 nm) reaching the Earth’s surface. UV-B radiation is potentially harmful to all forms of life but is more detrimental to photosynthetic organisms, including cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are the largest and most widely distributed group of photosynthetic prokaryotes on the Earth, and their contribution to global CO2 and N2 fixation is remarkable.
