Functional reconstitution of a bacterial CO2 concentrating mechanism in Escherichia coli

Functional reconstitution of a bacterial CO2 concentrating mechanism in Escherichia coli

Many photosynthetic organisms employ a CO2 concentrating mechanism (CCM) to increase the rate of CO2 fixation via the Calvin cycle. CCMs catalyze ≈50% of global photosynthesis, yet it remains unclear which genes and proteins are required to produce this complex adaptation. We describe the constructi...
