Excerpt: Since photosynthesis is at work, photolysis occurs (also called the Hill Reaction) and oxygen is produced as a by-product. This is normally only associated with macro green algae but it should be clear from what has been written here that this oxygen production and release occurs with blue green algae as well. The actual reaction breaks water up into 2 Hydrogen ions, half an oxyen one and 2 units of energy. This explains why blue-greens soon are covered with tiny bubbles. The bubbles are free oxygen.
