Abstract in brief

  • The study suggests that cyanobacteria, the organisms responsible for oxygenic photosynthesis, likely originated in the Archean age, well before the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE), based on molecular clock analyses and fossil evidence.
  • Incorporating data from horizontal gene transfers helps refine age estimates, making the timing of cyanobacterial evolution more precise without solely relying on geochemical or fossil records.
  • The findings indicate that oxygenic photosynthesis developed hundreds of millions of years earlier than previously thought, leading to a rapid diversification of cyanobacteria around the time of the GOE and the later emergence of modern marine cyanobacteria.]

Cyanobacteria and other microbes produce a lot of oxygen, so what if we could use that oxygen to power our brains? https://t.co/x9TOgGllkM https://t.co/EkLWHeMxs5

3. Ik verwacht dat ook in deze het onderzoek in het buitenland zal moeten plaatsvinden want NL is het schoothondje van BP Verwacht bij 2.000mg pd na 30 dagen eerste verbetering en uiteindelijk resultaat na 120 dagen Proberen waard! Gewoon ter informatie https://t.co/RtYaxbeqy2
