Question
Oxygenic photosynthesis occurs in
-
Chromatium
-
Oscillatoria
-
Rhodospirillum
-
Chlorobium
Solution
B.
Oscillatoria
Oscillatoria is a photosynthetic cyanobacterium. In this, during photosynthesis water is electron donor and oxygen is a by -product, ie oxygenic photosynthesis occurs. Rhodospirillum and Chlorobium are non- oxygenic photosynthetic, purple non- sulphur and green sulphur bacteria. chromatium is a purple sulphur bacterium, also a non- oxygenic photosynthetic.
