An ancient lineage of cyanobacteria is providing insights into an early evolutionary stage of photosynthesis, the process by which light is converted into life. Scientists study this process to understand how life harnessed solar energy billions of years ago, leading to the oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere and the development of an aerobic world. The complexity of photosynthesis involves numerous proteins and pigments working together within a tiny cellular structure.
