 | | Excitation energy transfer from the carotenoid fucoxanthin to chlorophyll (Chl) a was shown first in the diatoms by H. Dutton, W.M. Manning and B.M. Duggar, in 1943, at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. |
 | | He projected the visible spectrum on to green, red and brown algae, mounted on the stage of a microscope, and used the number of aerotactic motile bacteria accumulating in the different wavelengths of the light as an indication of the rate of oxygen evolution. |
 | | Excitation energy transfer, in general, in photosynthesis was implied already in the paper of Gaffron and Wohl (1936) when they were explaining the photosynthetic unit experiments of Emerson and Arnold (1932a,b). |
