Additional information :

Cornelus Bernadus Van Niel ,who was also known as C.B.Van Neil was an Dutch-American biologist His known work was the chemistry of photosynthesis.

He proposed that plant give off oxygen as a result of phytolysis during photosynthesis and not carbon dioxide as thought before.

He use purple sulphur bacteria and green bacteria to show that photosynthesis is a light dependent redox-reaction hydrogen reduce carbon dioxide into cellular materials
