Carbonic anhydrase 2‐like in the giant clam, Tridacna squamosa : characterization, localization, response to light, and possible role in the transport of inorganic carbon from the host to its symbionts

Abstract excerpt

The fluted giant clam, Tridacna squamosa, lives in symbiosis with zooxanthellae which reside extracellularly inside a tubular system. Zooxanthellae fix inorganic carbon (Ci) during insolation and donate photosynthate to the host. Carbonic anhydrases catalyze the interconversion of CO2 and , of which carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2) is the most ubiquitous and involved in many biological processes. This study aimed to...
