History & Biography Govindjee, G. (2022) on the 1958 Historical Lecture of Robert (Bob) Emerson: Discovery of Auxiliary Pigments working in Synchrony with Chlorophyll a in Algae (Ed. Morris, J. J.)
Abstrak
In August 1958, the late Robert (Bob) Emerson (19031959; see Rabinowitch, 1959) delivered a very important (i.e., of high significance) historical lecture where he presented his speculations concerning the synergistic role of light absorbed by accessory pigments (e.g., chlorophyll b, phycobilins, and fucoxanthol) and chlorophyll a in diverse groups of algae. It was published in the November 1958 News Bulletin of the Phycological Society of America, and is reproduced below (Emerson and Chalmers, 1958; note that his coauthor, Ruth Chalmers, was his highly talented technical assistant). Emerson had three brief abstracts on this topic, all presented at the annual meetings of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences (Emerson, Chalmers, Cederstrand, and Brody, 1956; Emerson, 1957; Emerson, 1958), and his key (highly recognized) paper on the synergistic effect of light absorbed in chlorophyll b on photosynthesis by light absorbed in chlorophyll a in the green alga Chlorella was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Emerson, Chalmers and Cederstrand, 1957).
