Abstract excerpt
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and other microalgae show adaptive changes to limiting CO(2) conditions by induction of CO(2)-concentrating mechanisms. The limiting-CO(2)-inducible gene, LCIB, encodes a soluble plastid protein and is proposed to play a role in trapping CO(2) released by CAH3 (thylakoid lumen carbonic anhydrase) catalyzed dehydration of accumulated Ci, especially in low CO(2) (L-CO(2); ~0.04% CO(2))...
