PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN ABSENCE OF OXYGEN

Abstract
14 spp. of marine algae, including members of the green, red, and brown groups, can produce O from CO2 when illuminated in complete absence of O. The O appears within 1 sec. after illumination, showing the ready permeability of the plasma and cellulose membranes to this gas. Luminous bacteria are recommended as a test for O under all conditions where they will survive.
