    Accumulating evidences are challenging the paradigm that methane in surface water primarily stems from the anaerobic transformation of organic matters. Yet, the contribution of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria, a dominant species in surface water, to methane production remains unclear. Here we show methanogenesis triggered by the interaction between oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria and anaerobic methanogenic archaea. By introducing cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803 and methanogenic archaea Methanosarcina barkeri with the redox cycling of iron, CH<sub>4</sub> production was induced in coculture biofilms through both syntrophic methanogenesis (under anoxic conditions in darkness) and abiotic methanogenesis (under oxic conditions in illumination) during the periodic dark-light cycles. We have further demonstrated CH<sub>4</sub> production by other model oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria from various phyla, in conjunction with different anaerobic methanogenic archaea exhibiting diverse energy conservation modes, as well as various common Fe-species. These findings have revealed an unexpected link between oxygenic photosynthesis and methanogenesis and would advance our understanding of photosynthetic bacteria's ecological role in the global CH<sub>4</sub> cycle. Such light-driven methanogenesis may be widely present in nature.
