Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.

In the course of evolution, the bacterium developed into a mitochondrion, which serves as the powerhouse of modern cells. This step could have occurred aeons ago when an Asgard archaeon entwined a ...
