Anoxygenic photosynthesis is characteristic of:

1. Rhodospirillum
2. Spirogyra
3. Chlamydomonas

Correct answer: Rhodospirillum

Solution

Rhodospirillum is a photosynthetic bacterium that performs anoxygenic photosynthesis, meaning it does not produce oxygen because it does not use water as the electron donor. The other options are green algae, which carry out oxygenic photosynthesis and release oxygen.
