TL;DR: The coevolution of life with the early Earth's environment is examined to identify how the interplay of sources and sinks may have suppressed O2 release into the atmosphere for several billion years, producing a false negative for biologically generated O2.

TL;DR: In this article, the coevolution of life with the early Earth's environment is discussed, and how the interplay of sources and sinks in the planetary environment may have resulted in suppression of O2 release into the atmosphere for several billion years, a false negative for biologically generated O2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial biosignatures in iron-mineralized phototrophic mats at Chocolate Pots Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, United States
M. N. Parenteau,Sherry L. Cady +1 more
TL;DR: Fossil evidence linking taxonomy, physiology, and biosignatures may be used to infer the paleobiology and paleoecology of similar fossil benthic microbial communities and may provide a means to assess the microbial contribution to ancient iron deposits.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Productivity of Oxygenic Photosynthesis around Cool, M Dwarf Stars
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that even if OP can use photons longer than 750 nm, there would still be insufficient energy to sustain the Earth's extant biosphere throughout the HZ of the coolest stars.
