Abstract excerpt
Many autotrophic microorganisms are likely to adapt to scarcity in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC; CO2 + HCO3- + CO32-) with CO2 concentrating mechanisms (CCM) that actively transport DIC across the cell membrane to facilitate carbon fixation. Surprisingly, DIC transport has been well studied among cyanobacteria and microalgae only. The deep-sea vent gammaproteobacterial chemolithoautotroph Thiomicrospira...
