This review covers the Literature on the chemically mediated ecology of cyanobacteria, including ultraviolet radiation protection, feeding-deierrence, allelopathy, resource competition, and signalling. To highlight the chemical and biological diversity of this group o f organisms, evolutionary and chemotasonomical studies are presented. Several technologically relevant aspects o f cyanobacterial chemical ecology are aiso discussed.
