The pyrenoid is a phase-separated organelle that enhances photosynthetic carbon
assimilation in most eukaryotic algae and the land plant hornwort lineage. Pyrenoids …

Microalgal photosynthesis is responsible for nearly half of the CO 2 annually captured by
Earth's ecosystems. In aquatic environments where the CO 2 availability is low, the CO 2 …

Most aquatic photoautotrophs depend on CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) to
maintain productivity at ambient concentrations of CO2, and carbonic anhydrase (CA) plays …

Diatoms are the world's most diverse group of algae, comprising at least 100,000 species.
Contributing~ 20% of annual global carbon fixation, they underpin major aquatic food webs …

Abstract Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2. 1.1) have been studied for decades and have
been classified as a superfamily of enzymes which includes, up to date, eight gene families …

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) exist in all kingdoms of life. They are metalloenzymes, often
containing zinc, that catalyze the interconversion of bicarbonate and carbon dioxide—a …

The slow kinetics and poor substrate specificity of the key photosynthetic CO2-fixing enzyme
Rubisco have prompted the repeated evolution of Rubisco-containing biomolecular …

The need to reduce the CO2 footprint of human activities calls for the utilization of new
means of production and new sources of products. Microalgae are a very promising source …

Marine diatoms, the most successful photoautotrophs in the ocean, efficiently sequester a
significant part of atmospheric CO2 to the ocean interior through their participation in the …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. Diatoms,
a natural sink of atmospheric CO2, can be cultivated industrially in autotrophic and …
