Diffusive and Metabolic Constraints to Photosynthesis in Quinoa during Drought and Salt Stress
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has been proposed as a hardy alternative to traditional grain crops in areas with warm-to-hot climates that are likely to experience increased drought and salt stress in the future.

A Chlamydomonas reinhardtii RuBisCO-less mutant, ΔrbcL, was used to study carbohydrate metabolism without fixation of atmospheric carbon. The regulatory mechanism(s) that control linear electron flow, known as “photosynthetic control,” are amplified in ...

Genes and pathways for CO2 fixation in the obligate, chemolithoautotrophic acidophile, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Carbon fixation in A. ferrooxidans [PDF]
Background: Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is chemolithoautotrophic gamma-proteobacterium that thrives at extremely low pH (pH 1-2). Although a substantial amount of information is available regarding CO2 uptake and fixation in a variety of facultative ...

Influence of Inorganic Phosphate on Photosynthesis of Wheat Chloroplasts: II. RIBULOSE BISPHOSPHATE CARBOXYLASE ACTIVITY [PDF]
Isolated wheat chloroplasts were pre-incubated in the dark in the presence of various concentrations of inorganic phosphate with or without carbon dioxide, oxaloacetate, glycerate, and 3-phosphoglycerate.

ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

ABSTRACT Traditional biochemistry instruction often emphasizes mechanistic detail, that is, how molecules and pathways function, without equally addressing why they have their present forms. This fact‐centered approach can leave students overwhelmed and disconnected from the broader scientific narrative.

Purification and Degradation of Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase from Soybean Leaves [PDF]
A rapid method is described for the preparation of up to 500 milligrams of pure ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBP carboxylase) from 250 grams of field-grown soybean leaves. Leaves were extracted in 20 millimolar phosphate (pH 6.9) at 4 degrees C, containing 4% (w/v) polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, 10 micromolar leupeptin, 1 millimolar ...

Construction of a CO2‐Fixing Compartment Using a Shape‐Transforming DNA Scaffold
A shape‐transforming DNA scaffold encapsulates RuBisCO within a controllable, self‐contacting compartment that mimics the carboxysome. The scaffold switches between open and closed states, enabling direct comparison of identical enzyme populations in different microenvironments.

Strategies for modulation and optimization of the photorespiration pathway in plants
Plant ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxidase (Rubisco) has two activities, and the one is carboxylation to assimilate CO2 to produce food for the biosphere, and the other one is oxidation to generate toxic 2-phosphoglycolate to commit the ...
