Early Archean origin of heterodimeric Photosystem I
When and how oxygenic photosynthesis originated remains controversial. Wide uncertainties exist for the earliest detection of biogenic oxygen in the geochemical record or the origin of water oxidation in ancestral lineages of the phylum Cyanobacteria. A unique trait of oxygenic photosynthesis is that the process uses a Type I reaction centre with a heterodimeric core, also known as Photosystem ...
متن کاملArchean spherule beds : Impact or terrestrial origin ?
We agree with Glikson [1] that the identification of Precambrian impact deposits is an important and largely unresolved problem, and thank him for providing us with an opportunity to further discuss our mineralogical and geochemical results [2] on the enigmatic spherule layers in the Barberton Mountain Land of South Africa. We note, however, that unfortunately Glikson has not been able to name ...
متن کاملSimilarities between Archean high MgO eclogites and Phanerozoic arc-eclogite cumulates and the role of arcs in Archean continent formation
Some insights into the origin of cratonic mantle can be gained from “eclogite” (loosely defined here as an assemblage containing garnet and any pyroxene) xenoliths hosted in kimberlites erupted through Archean (~2.53.5 Gy) cratons. One subset of Archean eclogite xenoliths, the low MgO Archean xenoliths, is presently believed to represent metamorphosed fragments of ancient altered oceanic crust...
متن کاملOrigin and Significance of Archean Quartzose Rocks at Akilia, Greenland
Archean Quartzose Rocks at Akilia, Greenland Fedo and Whitehouse (1) presented data to support their hypothesis that granulite grade quartz magnetite rocks on the island of Akilia, southwest Greenland—which are conformably interposed with pyroxenite and hornblendite units that date from before 3830 million years ago (Ma) (2–4)—had a metasomatic ultramafic igneous origin. They offered that inter...
متن کاملOrigin of microbial biomineralization and magnetotaxis during the Archean.
Microbes that synthesize minerals, a process known as microbial biomineralization, contributed substantially to the evolution of current planetary environments through numerous important geochemical processes. Despite its geological significance, the origin and evolution of microbial biomineralization remain poorly understood. Through combined metagenomic and phylogenetic analyses of deep-branc...
