Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Interestingly, certain species can photosynthesize even in environments with low-calcium levels. Using ...
A team of researchers discover viruses impact the genetic coding of purple (PSB) and green (GSB) sulfur bacteria. Billions of years ago, Earth was a different place. Intense volcanism, meteorite ...
Tsukuba, Japan—Photosynthetic bacteria, unlike plants, do not generate oxygen as a photosynthetic byproduct because they use hydrogen sulfide instead of water to convert solar energy into chemical ...
