ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS 289 



Reducing to an oversimplification, the 8-photon advocates believe that 

 the 4-photon results are in error because of misinterpretations of the 

 manometric data involving both time lags and physiological complica- 

 tions, and the 4-photon advocates believe that the 8-photon workers are 

 not using their algae under the most favorable conditions. However, 

 the 8-photon workers have used the same cultures and conditions as the 

 4-photon workers and have consistently^ obtained the 8-photon values 

 over periods of many years.
