It suggests that certain bacteria were already exploiting oxygen over 3 billion years ago, long before the Great Oxidation that transformed Earth's atmosphere. Until now, scientists believed that ...

Bacteria may have adapted to oxygen well before Earth's atmosphere ... and other methods – show that the evolution of oxygen tolerance predated the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) and may have been ...

Before this “Great Oxidation Event”, Earth contained almost no oxygen, so life was not ready for it. In fact, to uninitiated bacteria, oxygen is a poisonous gas, and so its release into the ...
