Surprising bacterium from Canadian lake shines new light on ancient photosynthesis https://phys.org/news/2024-03-bacterium-canadian-lake-ancient-photosynthesis.html
Anoxygenic phototroph of the #Chloroflexota uses a type I reaction centre https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07180-y
"Certain core #photosynthesis genes we had expected to see weren't there, but in their absence, there was a completely novel clade of photosynthetic reaction center protein... This breakthrough challenged current scientific knowledge of how photosynthesis came to be"
