His first student scientific paper "On the effect of light starvation on the chloroplasts in leaves of green plants," in which a young researcher observed the disintegration and division of chloroplasts of the algaSelagenella, was published in 1952¹. After graduation from the University of Kiev ( Ukraine), V.E. Semenenko started his research at the Institute of Plant Physiology ( Moscow) under supervision of Professor Nichiporovich. Since that time his research activities were tightly linked with the name of this institution. Research and communication with A. Nichiporovich had a strong influence on the development of basic biological views, and the personality of Victor Semenenko. His PhD thesis was devoted to the study of photosynthetic gas exchange processes. In that work he first discovered the phenomenon light-dependent emission of CO2. The biochemical studies of this phenomenon in other laboratories had later led to the discovery of photorespiration².

After finishing his PhD thesis in 1958, Victor Semenenko became a leader of a group associated with the Laboratory of photosynthesis. The group was focused on the problem of application of the unicellular phototrophic microorganisms in closed biological for life support systems. The organization of this group, was prompted by the successful beginning of space exploration in those years and the emergence of a new branch of knowledge - Space Biology.

Great success in space exploration in the late 50s and 60s of the XX century gave rise to the optimism, and enthusiasm in scientific community. Even before Gagarin's flight into space, the prospects for long-term space travel, construction of the habitable extraterrestrial stations and orbital complexes had been discussed. Intensively grown algae have been considered as one of the main elements of such stations responsible for the biological life support in space. At that time Victor Semenenko became the head of the Laboratory for algological studies.

First of all, the viability and the level of mutations in Chlorella cells during space flight were studied in 1958. The experiments were conducted on unpiloted satellites. The results did not demonstrate any significant changes in physiological states in populations of algae in the flight experiments³.

Another important step was to examine the compatibility of green unicellular algae and humans in their permanent contact. This problem was solved in the early 60s in the joint experiments with the Institute of Biophysics, Medical Academy of Sciences. A prolonged stay of astronauts in an isolated hermetic cabin, which was connected to the system of gas exchange ran by a photobioreactor with unicellular algae, did not affect the status of the crew and as well as the viability of microalgae^4-6.

At the same time, the selection of the most promising forms of life support systems for unicellular algae was conducted that implied optimization of their growth in newly developed closed photobioreactors of various types. As a result, during a 1.5-month continuous experiment, the productivity of Chlorella reached 25- 30 liters of oxygen from 1 liter of cell suspension per day. These experiments lead to construction of flat-panel photobioreactors, the reactors with air lifts, turbosorbers, the spray systems for suspension, to the design of distribution of light energy in a suspension with fiber optics⁷.

The principal condition that determined the possibility of the use of biological life support systems based on algae was high reliability and stability of a system at the level of algae themselves. In 1967, Victor Semenenko together with Lev Tsoglin proposed the autoselection theory for populations of microalgae, which was experimentally verified in 1969-72. This theory eliminated the possibility of deterioration in gas exchange characteristics of the unit. It demonstrated the exclusive ability to improve photosynthetic characteristics and production rates of algae in the course of their long-term continuous cultivation^8,9.

Along with the regeneration of the atmosphere, the problem of biological life support system includes the nutrition for the crew - fitness of the biochemical composition of microalgae to the diet ration of human. The regulation of biochemical pathways of the photosynthetic metabolism in microalgae became the major focus of research of Victor Semenenko. Studies in this field had finally resulted in the hypothesis of endogenous regulation of photosynthesis10. These studies led to the selection of algal strains - producers of various compounds and to the development of methods of controlled biosynthesis, which allowed the maintenance of biochemical composition of microalgae under various extreme conditions^10-12. The two-phase method for cultivation of algae developed in the 70's, made it possible to perform continuous growth of biomass with a determined biochemical composition without reduction in the photosynthetic activity^13-15.

The studies of Victor Semenenko in space biology have laid important foundations of modern biotechnology of microalgae and initiated its development in Russia.

The wide spectrum of scientific interests of Victor Semenenko allowed him to go beyond the practical space biology. In 1971, his group was transformed into a Laboratory of molecular bases of intracellular regulation, and then into the Department of Intracellular regulation and biotechnology of photoautotrophic biosynthesis.

All these years, microalgae served to Victor Semenenko as an excellent model for investigation of the principles of self-regulation by virtue of extremely high plasticity of their metabolism^16,17. Together with his wife and colleague, Maya G. Vladimirova, he founded The Collection of Microalgae (IPPAS), which became a member of the International Association of Collections. Currently, this is the most representative collection of microalgae in Russia.

The main interests of Viktor Semenenko, as he formulated them, have been focused on self-regulation of physiological processes and metabolism of photoautotrophic cells:

- Elucidation of the physiological responses of the genetic systems of plant cells.

- Investigation of molecular and cellular mechanisms of organization of endogenous regulation of photosynthesis^10,18-22.

- Investigation of metabolism and cell cycle of unicellular photoautotrophic organism^9,23-26.

Along this way, the most significant discoveries had been made that leaved the unique and bright mark in science. Among Russian scientists of the 20th century, who made a significant contribution to the study of the primary processes of photosynthesis (V.B. Evstigneev, A.A. Krasnovskii), the structure and biosynthesis of chlorophyll (T. Godnev, A. Shlyk), photosynthetic carbon metabolism (A.T. Mokronosov, N.G. Doman, E.N. Kondratyev, A.K. Romanova), the genome of the photosynthetic apparatus (N.M. Sissakian) and photosynthetic productivity (A.A. Nichiporovich), Victor Semenenko holds a special position.

In the early 70's Victor Semenenko turned to the old problem of plant Physiol. on the influence of assimilates (or overfeeding of plants) on photosynthesis in order to uncover the molecular level of these events. To investigate the metabolic regulation of photosynthesis three main questions have been asked: 1) what is the possible nature of the regulatory metabolite or effector; 2) what is the molecular mechanism of its action in the chloroplast; and 3) what is the mechanism of coupling of photo- and metabolic regulation?

Screening among the metabolites, products of photosynthesis, the modified glucose molecules have been used possess biological function, but are limited in utilization. One of such molecules was 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2dDG), which was applied in the studies of the repression of photosynthesis and protein synthesis in the chloroplast. Further detection of light-dependent repressive action of 2dDG revealed close cooperation of metabolic regulation and light regulation in chloroplasts^{10,19,20,22,27-29,29-37}.

In 1982, the inhibitory analysis and chronology of events in chloroplasts revealed that the regulatory effect of glucose is carried out at the level of transcription in chloroplasts22. Later, these findings were confirmed by investigation the transcription of genes for the proteins of the reaction center of photosystem II. Mutagenesis of Chlorella vulgaris led to the production of the regulatory mutants, which were characterized by overproduction of the end-products of photosynthesis^32,38,39. Similar studies had been conducted with cells of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, from which the 2dDG-resistant mutants have been selected^40,41. These approaches (M.V. Zvereva, E.S. Kuptsova, L.A. Shitova, N.V. Lebedeva) helped to demonstrate the participation of glucose in the regulation of transcription of the chloroplast genome and in regulation the photosynthesis at the genetic level^36-38,41.

The phenomenon of metabolic regulation of photosynthesis studied in model experiments with non-metabolized glucose analogues was observed in physiological experiments with hyper-accumulation of assimilates in the chloroplast after filling the pool of storage polysaccharides. Transition of photosynthetic cells to specialized biosynthesis is determined by a complex chain of events that are genetically determined. This chain involves the processes of synthesis and induced selective proteolysis of proteins. These observations (G.L. Klyachko-Gurvich, T.S. Rudova) formed the basis for controlled biosynthesis of algal biomass with determined amounts of carbohydrates, lipids, or biologically active compounds ^{25,42-46,46-50}.

In parallel with the study of endogenous regulation of photosynthesis under excess photosynthetic activity, Victor Semenenko developed the research in the area of self-limitation of photosynthesis under CO2 defficiency^51-62. Semenenko maintained the hypothesis that low concentration of CO2 in our modern atmosphere is one of global limiting factors forphotosynthesis of algae and of C3 plants. In the early 70's, after the discovery of C4 photosynthesis, it was accepted that the ability to concentrate CO2 in the cell is a distinctive feature of C4 plants, whereas the C3 plants do not possess this ability. At that time many researchers studied the pathways of carbon in C3 plants after its interaction with RuBisCO, whereas the transport of CO2 into the cell was considered as resistance to diffusion of CO2.

However, a number of facts, such as a) discrepancy between the actual affinity of RuBisCo to CO2 and the calculated its concentrations in the stroma; b) the increase in photosynthetic affinity for CO2 during adaptation of cells to a decrease of carbon dioxide in the environment; c) the ability of algae to grow in the absence of CO2 in bicarbonate-containing media – all these facts contradicted with the hypothesis of direct diffusion of CO2 to the centers of carboxylation and showed that substrate supply for the dark reactions of photosynthesis is under genetic control^33,63,64.

Already in his first article on this subject (1977) Victor Semenenko proposed and experimentally confirmed the existence of the carbonic anhydrase system in photosynthetic cells, which includes soluble and membrane-associated forms of the enzyme62.

In 1981, based on the detailed studies of the organization of carbonic anhydrase system in different taxonomic groups of algae, its physiological and biochemical properties, regulation of synthesis of different forms of carbonic anhydrase, as well as adaptive reorganizations of their activities, Victor Semenenko and his students and colleagues (N.A. Pronina, Z.M. Ramazanov) presented the original model of the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) in the algae59. This has initiated the interest in this problem by many researchers.

One of the major achievements was the discovery (Semenenko & Ramazanov) of the regulatory role of the oxygenase function of RuBisCO in the induction of a CO2-dependent form of carbonic anhydrase and in regulatory interactions between photosynthesis, photorespiration and nuclear genetic apparatus of plant cells in optimization of carbon nutrition in microalgae. It was shown that glyoxylate, being a product of photorespiration, is the inducer of the synthesis of carbonic anhydrase involved in the transport of Ci into the chloroplast^55,59,65,66.

The theoretical works of Victor Semenenko may be supplemented by the hypothesis on the importance of pyrenoid containing RuBisCO and carbonic anhydrase in the concentration, generation, and fixation of CO2 in the chloroplast. Semenenko & Vladimirova have been the first how showed localization of the RuBisCO in the pyrenoid67-69. Later this line of work was developed further by N.A. Pronina^70-75.

The discovery in 1988 of carbonic anhydrase in the thylakoid membranes, the kinetic studies of photochemical reactions in chloroplasts in the presence of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and in CCM mutants, showed the direct involvement of thylakoid carbonic anhydrase in the control of the Calvin cycle. These data served as a serious argument in favor of the shunting of CCM, which essence is in the transfer of HCO3 into the lumen and in its carbonic-anhydrase-mediated transformation to CO2, which diffuses into the stroma due to the gradient of concentrations^51,52,54. The presented model of the mechanism of concentration, generation and fixation of CO2 in the chloroplasts of algae, which takes into account the pH of individual cellular compartments, the selective properties of membranes, intracellular localization of the carbonic anhydrases, RuBisCO, and photosystems, had analyzed in special reviews and articles (S. Miyachi⁷⁶, J.V. Moroney77, J.A. Raven⁷⁸, G. Samuelsson⁷⁹). This model was recognized mostly by all investigators of photosynthesis. The advantage of this model is also in the fact that it induces a range of new directions in research of photosynthesis, in particular, the integration of functions of carbonic anhydrase in photosynthesis with the role of its isozymes in the process of respiration, water photolysis and O2 evolution, that ensure the symmetry of the photosynthetic and respiratory functions of the family of carbonic anhydrases in the plant cell.
