Freshwater cyanobacteria
Oscillatoria limnetica is a species of freshwater
cyanobacteria in the genus
Oscillatoria .
[2]
[3] It is a
facultative anaerobic organism , so it uses
hydrogen sulfide for a hydrogen source in
photosynthesis when it is abundant or when in
anaerobic conditions; in
aerobic conditions , it uses water instead.
[4]
[5] It is of interest in
phylogeny of cyanobacteria because its usage of aerobic and anaerobic
hydrogen sources shows that both are compatible. It is being studied as evidence of species' changes from using hydrogen sulfide to water.
