Abstract excerpt
A mutant (Delta5) of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 constructed by inactivating five inorganic carbon sequestration systems did not take up CO(2) or HCO(3)(-) and was unable to grow in air with or without glucose. The Delta4 mutant in which BicA is the only active inorganic carbon sequestration system showed low activity of HCO(3)(-) uptake and grew under these conditions but more slowly than the wild-type...
