CO2 CONCENTRATING MECHANISMS IN PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROORGANISMS

Kaplan, Aaron, Reinhold, Leonora·1999·Annual Review of Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology

Abstract

Many microorganisms possess inducible mechanisms that concentrate CO2 at the carboxylation site, compensating for the relatively low affinity of Rubisco for its substrate, and allowing acclimation to a wide range of CO2 concentrations. The organization of the carboxysomes in prokaryotes and of the pyrenoids in eukaryotes, and the presence of membrane mechanisms for inorganic carbon (Ci) transport, are central to the concentrating mechanism. The presence of multiple Ci transporting systems in cyanobacteria has been indicated. Certain genes involved in structural organization, Ci transport and the energization of the latter have been identified. Massive Ci fluxes associated with the CO2-concentrating mechanism have wide-reaching ecological and geochemical implications.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Photoautotrophs possess carbon-concentrating mechanisms that enable them to increase the concentration of CO2 inside their cells to as much as three orders of magnitude greater than in the extracellular environment.

    “Photoautotrophs possess carbon-concentrating mechanisms that enable them to increase the concentration of CO 2 inside their cells to as much as three orders of magnitude greater than in the extracellular environment [105,106].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
