5.3 Conclusion

The diversity of cyanobacteria is very broad and widely distributed in various ecological habitats. Stress tolerance behavior of PBPs is varying from species to species. In laboratory condition, an optimum level of temperature, pH, color of wavelength, and basic nutrient medium is used for growth of many cyanobacteria. The changes in light spectrum like UV radiation have several effects on PBPs of many cyanobacterial communities residing in different habitats. Cyanobacteria existing in harsh conditions seem to be less prone to various physiological stresses. Most of the metals exhibit toxicity on PBPs and inhibited growth of cyanobacteria. Concurrent abiotic stress shows rapid degradation in PBP composition, which severely affects biotechnological production for commercial utilization in industry. Thus, close adjustment of abiotic stress of the environment may enhance the productivity of PBPs from any cyanobacterial species.
