Effects of nitrogen availability on inorganic carbon concentrating mechanisms in marine phytoplankton
Carbon and nitrogen metabolism are tightly coupled through the enzyme RubisCO, but the effects of nitrogen limitation on cellular carbon acquisition are not well understood. This thesis reports measurements of RubisCO and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC - an enzyme involved in the C₄ photo...
