Cyanobacteria are a genetically diverse group of phototrophic prokaryotes. On a secondary metabolite perspective, however, filamentous and benthic forms have been the major sources of compounds isolated from these organisms. Nevertheless, unicellular free-living, planktonic cyanobacteria also contain enzymatic machinery for secondary metabolite biosynthesis.
