The pyrenoid is a phase-separated organelle that enhances photosynthetic carbon
assimilation in most eukaryotic algae and the land plant hornwort lineage. Pyrenoids …

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) exist in all kingdoms of life. They are metalloenzymes, often
containing zinc, that catalyze the interconversion of bicarbonate and carbon dioxide—a …

Global photosynthesis consumes ten times more CO2 than net anthropogenic emissions,
and microalgae account for nearly half of this consumption. The high efficiency of algal …

Submerged angiosperms sustain some of the most productive and diverse ecosystems
worldwide. However, their carbon acquisition and assimilation mechanisms remain poorly …

Unlike in land plants, photosynthesis in many aquatic plants relies on bicarbonate in
addition to carbon dioxide (CO2) to compensate for the low diffusivity and potential depletion …

Approximately one-third of the Earth's photosynthetic CO2 assimilation occurs in a pyrenoid,
an organelle containing the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. How constituent proteins are …

Submerged macrophytes play an important role in the global carbon cycle through
diversified pathways of inorganic carbon (Ci) utilization distinct from terrestrial plants …

The abundance and stoichiometry of aquatic plants are crucial for nutrient cycling and
energy transfer in aquatic ecosystems. However, the interactive effects of multiple global …

The intracellular accumulation of inorganic carbon (Ci) by microalgae and cyanobacteria
under ambient atmospheric CO2 levels was first documented in the 80s of the 20th Century …

Photosynthetic algae have evolved mechanisms to cope with suboptimal light and CO2
conditions. When light energy exceeds CO2 fixation capacity, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii …
