Wide range of metabolic adaptations to the acquisition of the Calvin cycle revealed by comparison of microbial genomes.

Knowledge of the genetic basis for autotrophic metabolism is valuable since it relates to both the emergence of life and to the metabolic engineering challenge of incorporating CO2 as a potential substrate for biorefining. The most common CO2 fixation pathway is the Calvin cycle, which utilizes Rubi...
