Fortuitous preparation and experiences led to the opportunity to use radioactive carbon dioxides to discern the path of carbon in photosynthesis. The search for the CO2 acceptor led to recognition of the growth stimulatory effect of methanol and its derivatives. With the techniques developed, radiochromatographic exploration led to discovery of major membrane lipids containing phosphorus, sulfur, and arsenic.
偶然的准备工作和经历带来了使用放射性二氧化碳来识别光合作用中碳路径的机会。对二氧化碳受体的寻找导致了对甲醇及其衍生物生长刺激作用的认识。随着所开发技术的应用，放射色谱探索导致了含磷、硫和砷的主要膜脂的发现。
