Large variation in the Rubisco kinetics of diatoms reveals diversity among their carbon-concentrating mechanisms

While marine phytoplankton rival plants in their contribution to global primary productivity our understanding of their photosynthesis remains rudimentary. In particular the kinetic diversity of the CO2-fixing enzyme, Rubisco, in phytoplankton remains unknown. Here we quantify the maximum rates of c...
