El Phylum Cyanobacteria es uno de los taxones más antiguos de la historia de Tierra. Hay evidencias de que surgieron en el Arcaico y que su actividad biológica ha tenido consecuencias a nivel global. La amplia distribución de comunidades dominadas por cianobacterias en la Criosfera hace que constituyan una pieza clave en la reconstrucción de la vida microbiana durante las glaciaciones del Precámbrico. Son consideradas como los principales fotótrofos de la mayoría de los ecosistemas bentónicos polares de agua dulce donde convergen las condiciones adecuadas para que unos pocos organismos, tanto fototróficos como heterotróficos, se asienten formando comunidades con cierta capacidad auto-reguladora. El orden Oscilatoriales es el más representado en estos ecosistemas, probablemente por su amplia tolerancia térmica. Sin embargo, a pesar de no ser especialistas en condiciones de temperaturas cercanas a 0 ºC, los niveles tan bajos de depredación que presentan y la flexibilidad y resistencia a condiciones inhóspitas las han promocionado como uno de los organismos más exitosos de la Criosfera.
The Phylum Cyanobacteria is one of the oldest in the history of Earth. There are evidences that they emerged in the Archean Era and its biological activity has had global consequences. Wide distribution of communities dominated by cyanobacteria in the Cryosphere constitutes a key element in the reconstruction of microbial life during the Precambrian glaciations. They are considered the major phototrophs of polar freshwater ecosystems, forming communities with a certain self-regulatory capacity. Oscilatorial order is the most represented in these kinds of ecosystems, probably due to its wide temperature tolerance. Despite of not being specialists in terms of temperatures near 0 °C, the very low levels of predation and the versatility in coping with inhospitable conditions point them out as one of the most successful organisms of the Cryosphere.
