The rise of oxygen in Earth’s earlyocean and atmosphereNATURE VOL 506 p307-315 20 FEB.2014 Evidence for oxygen-producing photosynthesis before the GOE Photosynthetic life requires both light and a source of reducing power—an electron donor. Because the ubiquitous H2O molecule is the electron donor for oxygenic photosynthesis, it is reasonable to expect that the initiation of oxygenic photosynthesis would ‘supercharge’ carbon fluxes through the biosphere. Three alternative electron donors could powerdelivery of significant quantities of organic carbon tomarine sediments during the Archaean without releasing O2: hydrogen su
