Intracellular carbonic anhydrase is essential to photosynthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii at atmospheric levels of CO2. Demonstration via genomic complementation of the high-CO2-requiring mutant ca-1.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic complementation of the high-CO2-requiring mutant ca-1-12-1C of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was achieved by transformation with DNA pools from an indexed cosmid library of wild-type genomic DNA. Transformation of mutant cells with cosmid DNA from two microtiter plates in the library produced colonies that grew phototrophically at atmospheric CO2 levels. Transformations with cosmid DNA from each of the rows...
