The oldest porphyrins suggest cyanobacteria were the dominant primary producers in the mid-Proterozoic oceans
Porphyrins, the fossil chemical signatures of the pigment chlorophyll, and their nitrogen isotopes, suggest that cyanobacteria may have been the dominant form of primary producers, perhaps hampering the diversification of higher trophic levels, including animals, in mid-Proterozoic oceans.
