P.1887 right column 3rd paragraph: "An additional factor influencing the growth of the first cyanobacteria could have been ozone generated by solar radiation, since the stratosphere of Archaean Earth lacked an ultraviolet-blocking ozone layer (ref 64). However, the ratio of ozone to oxygen in the stratosphere of present-day Earth only reaches ∼5 × 10^−5 (primary source), which amounts to an average of ∼0.05 molecules of ozone per cell of Gloeobacter violaceus, an amount that is hardly of significance (assuming an oxygen concentration of 0.02 μM)." |
