SUMMARY Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are ubiquitous enzymes that accelerate the reversible conversion of CO 2 to HCO 3 − . The Arabidopsis genome encodes members α‐, β‐ and γ‐CA families, it has been hypothesized βCA activity a role in photosynthesis. In this work, we tested hypothesis by characterizing two plastidial βCAs, βCA1 βCA5, physiological conditions growth. We conclusively established both proteins localized chloroplast stroma loss βCA5 induced expression , supporting existence...
ABSTRACT Cyanobacteria are the prokaryotic group of phytoplankton responsible for a significant fraction global CO 2 fixation. Like plants, cyanobacteria use enzyme Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxidase (RuBisCO) to fix into organic carbon molecules via Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. Unlike evolved concentrating organelle called carboxysome - proteinaceous compartment that encapsulates and concentrates RuBisCO along with its substrate. In rod-shaped cyanobacterium Synechococcus...
Photosynthetic cyanobacteria are responsible for almost half of global CO 2 fixation. Due to eutrophication, rising temperatures, and increasing atmospheric concentrations, have gained notoriety their ability form massive blooms in both freshwater marine ecosystems across the globe.
There has been substantial recent interest in the promise of sustainable, light-driven bioproduction using cyanobacteria, including developing efforts for microbial mixed autotroph/heterotroph communities, which could provide useful properties, such as division metabolic labor. However, building stable mixed-species communities sufficient productivity remains a challenge, partly due to lack strategies synchronizing and coordinating biological activities across different species. To address...
