Anoxygenic photosynthesis is characteristic of

  1. Rhodospirillum
  2. Spirogyra
  3. Chlamydomonas
  4. Ulva.

Answer

(1) Rhodospirillum

Solution

In anoxygenic photosynthesis, water is not used as the electron donor, so O2 is not released; it occurs in photosynthetic bacteria having bacteriochlorophyll and only PS I.

∵ Rhodospirillum is a purple non-sulphur photosynthetic bacterium.

∵ Spirogyra, Chlamydomonas and Ulva are green algae which perform oxygenic photosynthesis.

∴ Anoxygenic photosynthesis is characteristic of Rhodospirillum.
