Van Niel's experiments with purple sulfur bacteria demonstrated that:
1. COâ‚‚ is the primary electron donor in photosynthesis.
2. Oxygen released in photosynthesis comes from water, not COâ‚‚.
3. Photosynthesis does not require light in bacteria.
4. Hydrogen from water directly converts COâ‚‚ into glucose.
