Discoverers of the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle (from left to right): James A. Bassham, Andrew A. Benson and Melvin Calvin. Photo presented to Karl Biel by Andrew A. Benson (September 9, 1988). [Source: Reprinted with permission of Karl Biel] Around 1945, the american chemists A.A. Benson, J.A. Bassham and M. Calvin [1] (Figure 1) tackled the task of identifying the first carbon-containing product of photosynthesis that had escaped all scientific investigation. After the World War II, these researchers had just acquired two new important technological allies in Berkeley, California: ● a radioactive tracer, 14C, which had just been isolated by S. Ruben and M. Kamen in 1941 [2], ● new techniques for the chromatographic separation of the carbon-containing compounds from metabolism, developed a few years earlier in England by R. Martin and A. Synge. [3] These two tools will allow Dr. Calvin and his co-workers to identify the path taken by carbon during the various biochemical reactions for assimilation of the photosynthetic carbon.

This research earned Calvin a Nobel Prize-an honor that catapulted him to international fame, secured him spots on presidential advisory committees, and got him plenty of textbook mentions. But even though Calvin's claim to fame was his work on photosynthesis, his longest- running passion project was investigating the origins of life in the universe.

In Grenoble, where he spent most of his scientific career, Roland Douce created a world-renowned school of plant science, studying the structure, functions, and interactions of plant organelles involved in photosynthesis, respiration, and photores- piration. His main achievements concern the chemical and functional characterization of chloroplast envelope membranes, the demonstration of the uniqueness of plant mitochondria, and the integration of metabolism within the plant cell, among manifold activities.

  • Fong Discovered the Calvin Cycle: Molecular Model of Photosynthesis
    Fong Discovered the Calvin Cycle: Molecular Model of Photosynthesis This post records the author Francis K. Fong's finding of the Calvin cycle, or dark reactions in photosynthesis, as a federal tax conspiracy. It is the subject of an investigation reported on NSFfunding.com's Website enabled by the corroboration of Steve C. Beering, former Purdue president and former chairman of the National Science Board. Fig.A. Beering [pictured, center] corroborated [right] that the Calvin cycle is a financially motivated fraud, enabled by Purdue's news release published in Chem. & Eng. News 33, 2809 (July 4, 1955) [left] On May 15, 1995, Beering wrote, Fig.A: "In 1951. Purdue Trustees through Roger Branigin acquired the Lawler tract with federal reimbursement funds paid to Purdue Research Foundation, ("PRF") and improved it with additional federal funding obtained upon Purdue's news release of July 1959 (sic 1955), contrary to fact, that the federally funded Lawrence Radiation Laboratory had demonstrated, in vitro, the dark photosynthetic cycle. [See, Fig.A left] Meanwhile, the Trustees built Purdue's Calumet Extension Center on Woodmar Realty land purchased in bankruptcy proceedings presided over by 7th Circuit Judge Swygert, and incorporated Purdue-Calumet Development Foundation ("PCDF")." Fig.B. Comparision in support of Beering's corroboration that the news story, left, for establishing the dark cycle, reaction (D), left, is contrary to Calvin's original papers on the Berkeley group's experimental proof of reaction (L), right.
