Abstract excerpt
An inactivation library was used to isolate high-CO2-requiring mutants of Synechococcus PCC 7942. One of them, mutant IL-7, is composed of elongated cells, some 5-15 times longer than the wild-type. IL-7 is impaired in the ability to accumulate inorganic carbon within the cells due to a lesion in HCO3- transport. Consequently, the apparent photosynthetic affinity for external inorganic carbon was about...
