  • Descrição: Dan Tawfik, professor in the Department of Biomolecular Sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, explains that the dating of the GOE is indisputable, as is the fact that the molecular oxygen was produced by photosynthetic microorganisms. A second side of the debate, however, suggests that some of the oxygen produced by the photosynthetic microorganisms may have remained free long enough for nonphotosynthetic organisms to snap it up for their own use, even before the GOE. Examining this time frame further, the scientists found that rather than coinciding with the takeover of atmospheric oxygen, this burst dated to the time that bacteria left the oceans and began to colonize the land.
