The idea

3.5 billion years ago, being present then and now,

Text

the oldest known organism is living among us.

The catalyst and the changer of Earth’s life forms,

creating the oxygenic atmosphere as we know and breathe.

Breathe breathe breathe, say hello to cyanobacteria.

At a broad range of wavelengths and light intensities,

this oxygenic photosynthesis organism performs the solar energy conversion,

of water and CO₂ to O₂ and sugar.
