Solution
Cyanobacteria are free living or symbiotic blue-green algae which are capable of converting atmospheric molecular nitrogen into soluble forms like nitrites or nitrates. They enrich the nitrogen content of the soil, thus, acting as a natural fertilizer. They replenish the soil with the nitrogenous compounds and hence are useful in agriculture.
