Explanation / Answer

As its name implies, anoxygenic photosynthesis does not produce oxygen as a byproduct of the reaction. Additionally, all known organisms that carry out anoxygenic photosynthesis are obligate anaerobes. Examples of such organisms are the purple bacteria.

Many prokaryotes, Bacteria as well as Archaea, obtain their energy from the oxidation of reduced inorganic compounds such as hydrogen, ammonia, nitrite, sulfide, elemental sulfur, hydrogen and Fe(II) ions. These organisms can derive all their cellular carbon from carbon dioxide, and they are thus able to grow without any organic compounds and without light. Such microorganisms are called chemolithotrophs or chemoautotrophs. Chemolithotrophic life is possible in the presence as well as in the absence of molecular oxygen.

A chemoorganotroph is an organism that obtains energy from the oxidation of reduced organic compounds. The list of compounds from which chemoorganotrophic organisms can generate energy and their sources of carbon is very long, making these microorganisms extremely versatile. Two mechanisms for energy conservation are known for chemoorganotrophs: fermentation and respiration
