Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 61, No. 4 (2016), pp. 1424-1437 (14 pages) We quantified chemoautotrophic and anoxygenic photosynthetic microbial production in the water column of Lake Kivu, a ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and cyanobacteria use the energy from the Sun to make sugar from water and carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen as a waste product. But a few groups of ...

Structures inside rare bacteria are similar to those that power photosynthesis in plants today, suggesting the process is older than assumed. Structures inside rare bacteria are similar to those that ...

London, March 6, 2018 - Ancient microbes may have been producing oxygen through photosynthesis a billion years earlier than we thought, which means oxygen was available for living organisms very close ...

Time, water, and geologic forces have converged to create underwater sinkholes where oxygen-poor and sulfur-rich groundwater support prolific microbial mats resembling life on early Earth. Aa Aa Aa ...

March 6 (UPI) --According to new research, ancient microbes were performing photosynthesis as much as one billion years earlier than previously thought. Photosynthesis -- the ability to convert the ...

The latter group includes 35 families of uncharacterized proteins, which could also be involved in photosynthesis. Only a few components of cyanobacterial photosynthetic machinery are represented in ...
