Give note on C.B. Van Neil.

Answer»

C. B. Van Neil was a Dutch American microbiologist.

He made key discoveries explaining the chemistry of photosynthesis.

By studying purple sulphur bacteria and green bacteria, he was the first scientist to demonstrate that photosynthesis is a light-dependent redox reaction, in which hydrogen from an oxidizable compound reduces carbon dioxide to cellular materials.

His discovery predicted that H2O is the hydrogen donor in green plants photosynthesis.
