Summary Introduction

To review:

The environment that favors oxygenic photosynthesis and sulfur phototrophy.

Introduction:

Oxygenic photosynthesis is a process in which water acts as the initial electron donor and molecular oxygen gets liberated in the form of a byproduct. Sulfur phototrophy is a form of anoxygenic photosynthesis carried out by a group of green sulfur bacteria that are obligate anaerobe photoautotrophs.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why does photosynthesis produce O2?  Microbial photosynthesis
Why is bacterial photosynthesis called anoxygenic?
What is the general chemical equation of photosynthesis? Why doesn't that equation clearly show the real origin of the molecular oxygen liberated?
