An Electrodic Mechanism for Photosynthesis: Some Evidence

  • Chapter

Abstract

Chloroplasts were extracted from Spinacia oleracia grown under controlled conditions. PS-I and PS-II were isolated by centrifugation. Extracts of these photo-systems, duly separated, were brought into contact with platinized platinum electrodes. It was adequately proven that these systems are, in fact, adsorbed on the electrodes. Irradiation with xenon and tungsten sources was used to study the overall photo-current as a function of potential for PS-I and PS-II. A monochromator was used to allow a determination of the photoelectrochemical spectrum.

Experimental part of this work carried out in the Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia.
