👉 Helicomyces is a type of bacteria that belongs to the family of Actinobacteria, commonly known as "green" or "blue" bacteria. They are characterized by their ability to photosynthesize, which allows them to produce glucose from water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight. Helicomyces contribute significantly to the production of biofuels, such as ethanol, which is a source of renewable energy.
