Chapter 14, Problem 2TQ
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.
