在生物与地球化学演化史上,氧气的出现是最重要的历史事件,对生命进化产生了非常深远的影响.然而氧气起源时间及促进生命进化的分子机制等许多问题尚属未知,文章就该方面的研究进展进行了综述.
Accumulating biological and geological evidence indicates that oxygen rise,the most critical event,has had a great impact on biological evolution.However,the time of oxygen rise and the mechanisms underlying the evolution driven by oxygen rise still remain elusive.This article attempts to present some most recent findings in this area.
