  • Title: Oxygen and life on earth: an anesthesiologist's views on oxygen evolution, discovery, sensing, and utilization.
    Author: Lindahl SG.
    Journal: Anesthesiology; 2008 Jul; 109(1):7-13. PubMed ID: 18580166.
    Abstract:
    The advent of oxygenic photosynthesis and the accumulation of oxygen in our atmosphere opened up new possibilities for the development of life on Earth. The availability of oxygen, the most capable electron acceptor on our planet, allowed the development of highly efficient energy production from oxidative phosphorylation, which shaped the evolutionary development of aerobic life forms from the first multicellular organisms to the vertebrates.
