Time-resolved comparative molecular evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis

T. Oliver, P. Sanchez-Baracaldo, A. W. Larkum, A. W. Rutherford, T. Cardona

This study uses molecular clocks and comparative analysis to show that oxygenic photosynthesis originated earlier in evolutionary history than previously thought.

Evolutionary Implications of Anoxygenic Phototrophy in the Bacterial Phylum Candidatus Eremiobacterota (WPS-2)

L. M. Ward, T. Cardona, H. Holland-Moritz

The paper investigates the evolutionary and genetic diversity of phototrophic WPS-2 bacteria, identifying a new family of photochemical reaction centers and proposing new phylum names.

Evolution of photochemical reaction centres: more twists?

T. Cardona, A. W. Rutherford

The paper identifies structural parallels between the Ca2+-binding site in Heliobacteria Type I reaction centres and the Mn4CaO5 cluster in cyanobacterial Photosystem II, suggesting water oxidation chemistry originated at the divergence of Type I and Type II reaction centres.

Early Archean origin of Photosystem II

T. Cardona, P. Sanchez-Baracaldo, A. W. Rutherford, A. Larkum

This study identifies the origin of Photosystem II in the early Archean, suggesting water oxidation capabilities emerged before the diversification of anoxygenic bacteria.

Early Archean origin of heterodimeric Photosystem I

T. Cardona

The paper uses sequence comparisons and molecular clocks to show the gene duplication event leading to heterodimeric Photosystem I occurred in the early Archean over 3.4 billion years ago.
