Enzymes and genes of microbial autotrophy
Abstract
Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and phosphoribulokinase are enzymes which are unique to, and essential for, the operation of the Calvin cycle. Biochemical and genetic studies of these enzymes in autotrophic bacteria are providing information on the evolution of autotrophy, regulation of CO2 assimilation and on the prospects of increasing plant productivity.
