Nostoc, also known as star jelly, troll's butter, spit of moon, fallen star, witch's butter (not to be confused with the fungi commonly known as witches' butter), and witch's jelly, is the most common genus of cyanobacteria found in a variety of both aquatic and terrestrial environments that may form colonies composed of filaments of moniliform cells in a gelatinous sheath of polysaccharides.

Removal of cyanide from cassava in Nigeria. Cyanides are produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae.It is an antifeedant in a number of plants. Cyanides are found in substantial amounts in certain seeds and fruit stones, e.g., those of bitter almonds, apricots, apples, and peaches. [5]
Chemical structure of ethyl cyanoacrylate, the precursor to many commercial adhesives. The most common monomer is ethyl cyanoacrylate.Several related esters are known. To facilitate easy handling, a cyanoacrylate monomer is frequently formulated with an ingredient such as fumed silica to make it more viscous or gel-like.
The cyano in the term cyanobacteria refers to its colour, not to its relation to cyanides, though cyanobacteria can catabolize hydrogen cyanide during nitrogen fixation. [1] Exposure to cyanobacteria can result in gastro-intestinal and hayfever symptoms or pruritic skin rashes. [2]
