These changes impacted both the evolution of the biosphere and the environment. For instance, as the activity of photosynthetic organisms raised oxygen levels in the atmosphere, creating new environments for microbial life to inhabit. Different nutrients were made accessible to life to fuel growth. At the same time, microbes that couldn\u2019t survive in the presence of oxygen had to adapt, perish, or find a way to survive in environments where oxygen didn\u2019t persist, such as deep in the Earth\u2019s subsurface.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/science-research\/planetary-science\/astrobiology\/an-ancient-partnership-co-evolution-of-earth-environments-and-microbial-lifean-ancient-partnership\/?rand=772114\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over time, the prevalence of oxygen on Earth has varied dramatically, in the ocean, in the atmosphere, and on land.
