Bacon Ke, who did pioneering research on the primary photochemistry of photosynthesis, was born in China on July 26, 1920, and currently, he is living in a senior home in San Francisco, California, and is a centenarian. To us, this is a very happy and unique occasion to honor him. After providing a brief account of his life, and a glimpse of his research in photosynthesis, we present here "messages" for Bacon Ke@ 100 from: Robert Alfano (USA), Charles Arntzen (USA), Sandor Demeter (Hungary), Richard A. Dilley (USA), John Golbeck (USA), Isamu Ikegami (Japan), Ting-Yun Kuang (China), Richard Malkin (USA), Hualing Mi (China), Teruo Ogawa (Japan), Yasusi Yamamoto (Japan), and Xin-Guang Zhu (China).
贝肯(Bacon Ke),光合作用初级光化学研究的先驱者,于 1920 年 7 月 26 日出生在中国,现居美国加利福尼亚州旧金山的一家养老院,已是期颐之年。对我们来说,这是一个非常高兴和独特的时刻,能够向他表示敬意。在简要介绍了他的生平以及光合作用方面的研究之后,我们在此呈现了来自罗伯特·阿尔法诺(美国)、查尔斯·阿恩岑(美国)、山多尔·德梅特(匈牙利)、理查德·迪利(美国)、约翰·戈尔贝克(美国)、池永信(日本)、匡廷云(中国)、理查德·马克林(美国)、米华领(中国)、小川晃(日本)、山本康司(日本)和朱新广(中国)的“贺信”。
