以電流作用代替光和葉綠體而引起的Hill氏反應

The Hill Reaction Demonstrated by the Action of Electric Current Instead of Light and Chloroplasts

Without depending upon both light energy and isolated chloroplasts, the Hill reaction can be demonstrated by the expenditure of electrical energy. When an electric current (direct current) passes through a dilute aqueous salt solution containing an oxidizing agent as a hydrogen acceptor (we used either 0.005% NaCl, plus 0.01,% indigocarmine solution, or 0.002% 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol) phenomena occur similar to the Hill reaction, i. e., we are able to observe dye reduction and oxygen evolution.
