Abstract excerpt

Photorespiratory 2-phosphoglycolate (2PG) metabolism is essential for photosynthesis in higher plants but thought to be superfluous in cyanobacteria because of their ability to concentrate CO(2) internally and thereby inhibit photorespiration. Here, we show that 3 routes for 2PG metabolism are present in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. In addition to the photorespiratory C2 cycle...
