Abstract

A decade ago, it would have been confidently predicted that a survey of enzyme systems in photosynthesis would be centered on enzymes of CO2 assimilation. But recent research has turned up no enzymic evidence to support the once widely held view that CO2 assimilation in photosynthesis follows a special pathway that is peculiar to photosynthetic cells. Instead, there is enzymic evidence that the reduction of CO2 to carbohydrates consists of a series of dark reactions, all of which are now known to occur also in nonphotosynthetic cells (see review by QUAYLE, 1961) and most of which are discussed as components of the glycolytic or pentose cycle elsewhere in this volume.
