New discovery about photosynthesis---


Photosynthesis -
The most important biological process on Earth. Photosynthesis by plants, algae, and some bacteria supports nearly all living things by producing food from sunlight, and in the process these organisms release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide.
But research always bring something new and exciting
You know scientist have discovered that Certain marine microorganisms have evolved a way to break the rules , This doing different kind of microbes are DOing photosynthesis in new way they have stopped uptake of co2 and release of oxygen.
. This discovery impacts not only researchers basic understanding of photosynthesis, but importantly, it may also impact how microorganisms in the oceans affect rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Cynobacteria
(formerly blue-green algae). These single-celled organisms dominate phytoplankton populations over much of the worlds oceans and are important contributors to global primary productivity. scientists wanted to understand how cynobacteria could thrive in the iron-poor waters that cover large areas of the ocean, since certain activities of normal photosynthesis require high levels of iron. While others had suggested a potential role of oxygen as accepting electrons from the photosynthetic apparatus in place of carbon dioxide, the studies by research group show that this activity is significant in the oligotrophic (nutrient-poor) oceans, which cover about half the oceans area.........
