Abstract

Photosynthetic carbon assimilation by isolated chloroplasts and its associated oxygen evolution were measured simultaneously in a single simplified reaction mixture. Each showed an initial lag prior to the attainment of the maximal rate and the photosynthetic quotient was unity during the period of illumination. Following illumination an oxygen uptake was observed in the dark which was not accompanied by any net release of newly fixed carbon dioxide.
