CORNELIS. BERNARDUS VAN NIEL —Kees to his friends and students—is best known for his discovery of mul-tiple types of bacterial photosynthesis, his deduction that all types of photosynthesis involve the same photochemical mechanism, and his extraordinary ability to transmit his en-thusiasm for the study of microorganisms to his students.
Cornelis Bernardus van Niel, Herzstein Professor of Biological Sciences Emeritus at the Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, was born in Haarlem, The Netherlands, on Nov. 4, 1897. He died in Carmel, California, on March 10, 1985.
Cornelius Bernardus van Niel joined the Stanford faculty at the Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove in 1929, and it was here he remained throughout his career. From this small seaside community, Cornelius B. van Niel introduced the study of microbiology to America while investigating the biochemistry of photosynthesis.
Cornelis Bernardus van Niel was a Dutch microbiologist whose experiments with bacteria helped explain how photosynthesis occurs in plants. Sulfur bacteria particularly interested van Niel, because there was a controversy in the early 1900s concerning the bacteria.
