Cyanobacteria contain chlorophyll while other forms of bacteria contain bacteriochlorophyll. ... Bacteria that contain bacteriochlorophyll do not use water as an electron donor and therefore do not produce oxygen. This is known as anoxygenic photosynthesis.

The reason for this is that they have chlorophylls which are dispersed in cytoplasm(not packed in chloroplast like photosynthetic eukaryotes). They carry out oxygenic photosynthesis i.e, they use water as an electron donor and generate oxygen during photosynthesis. Their photosynthetic systems closely resembles to that of eukaryotes:
