(7) Alsoub and Chacko found that the most
frequently isolated aerobic organisms were Bacteroides spp,
streptococci, and staphylococci. Without aerobic organisms around, atmospheric oxygen
would surely have built up earlier than many believe, he says.
While most scientists believe aerobic organisms did not evolve until
oxygen levels increased dramatically at least a billion years later,
Towe suggests they emerged during the Archean, surviving on the small
amounts of oxygen available at the time. |
