Abstract
Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis with the resultant production of oxygen, which supports all organisms that consume it through their respiration. This type of photosynthesis is an indispensable part of the global oxygen flux. However, another type of photochemical reaction, photosynthesis without oxygen production, exists, and has been designated anoxygenic photosynthesis. A number of ecologists regard anoxygenic photosynthesis as a negligible photochemical reaction because it contributes nothing to the reproduction of oxygen. This type of photosynthesis does not appear to have any beneficial function.
