Photosynthesis in cyanobacteria:

Cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic bacteria do not have chloroplast

They possess photosynthetic pigments in their cytoplasm such as chlorophyll a.

These photosynthetic pigments absorb light energy from the sunlight and perform photosynthesis in these bacteria.
