i think you should support this assertion, i see no reason to assume basil will make oxygen in the absence of light...

Hey Boy; you need to provide a link or other acceptable reference before any of us can evaluate your question.

Ever the caring terrapin, and lack of reference in the OP notwithstanding, in partial answer the process wherein plants predominately respire at night is called Crassulacean acid metabolism. At the link I find no specific mention of oxygen output in these plants, however since respiration occurs through the stomata and the stomata in these crassulacean acid metabolizing plants are only open at night, I presume any gaseous oxygen production is accomplished at night. Plants using this strategy are primarily plants of arid environs and I do not see any basil listed at the link.

NASA found that the Mother-in-law's tongue produces oxygen at night. I assume it's a CAM plant.
