Abstract excerpt
In many eukaryotic algae, CO2 fixation by Rubisco is enhanced by a CO2-concentrating mechanism, which utilizes a Rubisco-rich organelle called the pyrenoid. The pyrenoid is traversed by a network of thylakoid membranes called pyrenoid tubules, which are proposed to deliver CO2. In the model alga Chlamydomonas (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii), the pyrenoid tubules have been proposed to be tethered to the Rubisco matrix...
