Introduction of a Synthetic CO2-fixing Photorespiratory Bypass into a Cyanobacterium 2013-020
ABSTRACT: Global photosynthetic productivity is limited by the enzymatic assimilation of CO2 into organic carbon compounds. Ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO), the carboxylating enzyme of the Calvin-Benson (CB) cycle, poorly discriminates between CO2 and O2, leading to photorespiration and the loss of fixed carbon and nitrogen. With the advent of … [Read more...] about Introduction of a Synthetic CO2-fixing Photorespiratory Bypass into a Cyanobacterium 2013-020
