Gunnera
Gunnera manicata is one of 40-50 species in the Gunnera genus.[1].
Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria are the largest phylum of Gram-positive prokaryotes on earth. They are known for their ability to obtain energy through photosynthesis [1]. The ability to produce oxygen is believed to be an attribute to their success in evolution because the environment in which they were developing was otherwise occupied by anaerobic bacteria [2].
Many species live in large colonies of cells ranging from hundreds to thousands of cells in a single colony [3].
Section 2 Microbiome
Include some current research, with a second image.
Conclusion
Overall text length (all text sections) should be at least 1,000 words (before counting references), with at least 2 images.
Include at least 5 references under References section.
