Summary
In the course of artificial irradiation of sterile aqueous solutions of various organic compounds with a 1000-W electric lamp for 1200 hours in presence of nickel chloride as catalyst, various amino acids, whose nature depends on the nature of the carbon-containing substances, are formed in the solution.
