That's 100% a cyanobacterium. Phycocyanin is a water soluble blue pigment. I am not aware of any green algae which retained it in evolution (maybe someone here does). The Red algae did though, that's why Cyanidioschyzon merolae and Galdieria are interesting for its production.

Is it a cyanobacterium making phycocyanin?

We do like to mix it up when it comes to phycocyanin and carotenoids!
