Nutrient Acquisition and the Metabolic Potential of Photoferrotrophic Chlorobi

Nutrient Acquisition and the Metabolic Potential of Photoferrotrophic Chlorobi

Anoxygenic photosynthesis evolved prior to oxygenic photosynthesis and harnessed energy from sunlight to support biomass production on the early Earth. Models that consider the availability of electron donors predict that anoxygenic photosynthesis using Fe(II), known as photoferrotrophy, would have...
