Stable Carbon Isotope Discrimination by Form IC RubisCO from <em>Rhodobacter sphaeroides</em>
Variations in the relative amounts of ¹²C and ¹³C in microbial biomass can be used to infer the pathway(s) autotrophs use to fix and assimilate dissolved inorganic carbon. Discrimination against ¹³C by the enzymes catalyzing autotrophic carbon fixation is a major factor dictating the stable carbon i...
