In green plants, H2O is the hydrogen donor and is oxidised to O2. Some organisms do not release O2during photosynthesis. When H2S, instead of H2O is the hydrogen donor for purple and green sulphur bacteria, the ‘oxidation’ product is sulphur or sulphate depending on the organism and not O2. Hence, he inferred that the O2evolved by the green plant comes from H2O, not from carbon dioxide. While the hydrogen donated results in formation of NADPH + H+.
