EastBio: Building a functional synthetic pyrenoid in plants using components from diverse algal lineages

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Photosynthesis in plants is limited by the catalytic efficiency of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. In most algae and some bryophytes, the performance of Rubisco is enhanced by a CO2-concentrating mechanism centred around a pyrenoid, a liquid-like, phase-separated microcompartment that saturates Rubisco with CO2.
