IUPAC definition : A metabolic process involving plants and some types of bacteria (e.g. Chromataceae,
Rhodospirillaceae, Chlorobiaceae) in which light energy absorbed by chlorophyll and
other photosynthetic pigments results in the reduction of CO sub 2 /sub followed
by the formation of organic compounds. In plants the overall process involves the
conversion of CO sub 2 /sub and H sub 2 /sub O to carbohydrates (and other plant
material) and the release of O sub 2 /sub .;
