 | | Whereas the mechanism of 'photoreduction,' i.e., the photoassimilation of carbon dioxide with hydrogen as the electron donor, was well understood already by Gaffron's group as being a reaction mediated by Photosystem I only, a clear concept of the mechanism of light-dependent hydrogen production has been more difficult to establish. |
 | | Gaffron and his collaborators provided ample evidence, however, that 'photohydrogen' evolution can be fueled by reducing equivalents derived from a photolysis of water as well as by an oxidation of internal and external organic molecules. |
 | | The presently prevailing view embraces this concept of multiple pathways, but the relative contribution of each of them, and the regulatory mechanisms determining it, remain a matter of debate. |
