Green sulfur bacteria use $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}$ as an electron donor for photosynthesis. Write an equation that describes photosynthesis in these organisms.
The evolution of oxygen-generating cyanobacteria probably sealed their own extinction by producing oxygen evolved during the Phanerozoic Eon occurred before the emergence of anaerobic bacteria. It had an ancient origin, emerging soon after anaerobic organisms.
