Many trace metals are essential micronutrients, but also potent toxins. Due to natural and
anthropogenic causes, vastly different trace metal concentrations occur in various habitats …

ABSTRACT Carbon/nitrogen (C/N) balance sensing is a key requirement for the
maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Therefore, cyanobacteria have evolved a …

INTRODUCTION Meeting food demands for the growing global human population requires
improving crop productivity, and large gains are possible through enhancing photosynthetic …

The growth in world population, climate change, and resource scarcity necessitate a
sustainable increase in crop productivity. Photosynthesis in major crops is limited by the …

A long-term strategy to enhance global crop photosynthesis and yield involves the
introduction of cyanobacterial CO 2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into plant …

Biological CO 2 capture using microalgae is a promising new method for reducing CO 2
emission of coal-fired flue gas. The strain of microalgae used in this process plays a vital …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) performs most of the
carbon fixation on Earth. However, plant Rubisco is an intrinsically inefficient enzyme given …

Dynamic consortium of microbial communities (bacteria, fungi, protists, viruses, and
nematodes) colonizing multiple tissue types and coevolving conclusively with the host plant …

Background Autotrophic carbon fixation is the primary route through which organic carbon
enters the biosphere, and it is a key step in the biogeochemical carbon cycle. The Calvin …

The uncertainty of future climate change is placing pressure on cropping systems to
continue to provide stable increases in productive yields. To mitigate future climates and the …
