Sixty years of research on photosynthesis: a personal scientific autobiography.
The following scientific autobiography is presented here as a homage to Professor Kazuo Shibata, who is the one who led me to do research in photosynthesis. He had invited me to Riken (The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research), and had launched the Japan-US Collaboration Project on "The Solar Energy Conversion by Means of Photosynthesis" and had invited many international scientists to Riken. My research, under Shibata, started on using a sensitive method for the determination of chlorophyll b, and of SDS-PAGE for the pigment protein complexes of the two photosystems. After Shibata had passed away at the age of 66, I found post-illumination CO2 burst from cyanobacterial cell suspensions. This finding led me to study the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) and the function and structure of NADP(H) dehydrogenase complexes (NDH-I) in cyanobacteria, which were developed after I had moved to Nagoya University, and in several other laboratories in the world after I had retired from Nagoya University.
期刊介绍：
Photosynthetica publishes original scientific papers and brief communications, reviews on specialized topics, book reviews and announcements and reports covering wide range of photosynthesis research or research including photosynthetic parameters of both experimental and theoretical nature and dealing with physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology on one side and leaf optics, stress physiology and ecology of photosynthesis on the other side.
The language of journal is English (British or American). Papers should not be published or under consideration for publication elsewhere.
