Which Archaea have the ability to carry out a form of the Calvin cycle, capturing sunlight with bacteriorhodopsin?

A) Extreme thermophiles
B) Extreme halophiles
C) Nanoarchaeota
D) Korarchaeota
E) Euryarchaeota

Bacteriorhodopsin

A protein found in the plasma membrane of certain bacteria that acts as a light-driven proton pump, aiding in converting light energy into chemical energy.

Calvin Cycle

A set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The cycle is light-independent and is used to fix carbon into carbohydrates.

Extreme Halophiles

Certain types of archaea, and few types of bacteria and protists, that inhabit environments with very high salt concentrations.
