Inorganic Carbon Acquisition

The role of the chloroplast in algal inorganic carbon acquisition is reviewed. Unicellular green algae possess the ability to grow photoautotrophically at very low CO2 concentrations. The presence of a CO2-concentrating system that elevates the CO2 level within the cell can account for the algae's ability to reduce photorespiration and grow under these conditions. The mechanism of this inorganic carbon transport is unclear at present, although both the plasmalemma and the chloroplast have been implicated in this process. Three aspects of the role of the chloroplast in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii inorganic carbon uptake are discussed in this review. First, the present models of inorganic carbon uptake are summarized. Second, the purity and integrity of intact chloroplast preparations are discussed. Third, an evaluation of the published data on inorganic carbon uptake by isolated intact chloroplasts is presented. Key words: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, carbonic anhydrase, chloroplast, active CO2 uptake.

Carbon Transport

Most microalgae possess a mechanism for actively transporting inorganic carbon that concentrates CO2 at the active site of the carbon fixing enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco). This review considers the effects of environmental factors on the capacity and activity of microalgal CO2-concentrating mechanisms. Limitation of energy supply by light availability decreases the rate of inorganic carbon transport and cells grown under light-limited conditions have a reduced capacity for CO2 accumulation. Phosphorus limitation also reduces the capacity of algal cells to accumulate CO2, whereas both the rate of supply of nitrogen and the form in which it is made available interact in various complex ways with carbon utilization. The potential role of other nutrients in modulating inorganic carbon transport is also discussed. The capacity of algae for carbon accumulation is also affected by CO2 supply, which, in turn, is a function of the interactions between ionic strength of the growth medium, pH, cell density in culture, aeration rate, and inorganic carbon concentration in the medium. The effects of these interacting parameters are discussed, together with an assessment of the possible roles and significance of CO2-concentrating mechanisms to microalgae in marine and freshwater ecosystems.Key words: carbon acquisition, microalgae, CO2-concentrating mechanism, light, nutrient limitation, CO2 supply.

Carbon Transport

Effects of CO2 concentration on microalgae, especially on Chlorella, are discussed from the aspect of the high affinity of microalgae for inorganic carbon (Ci) in photosynthesis. Accumulation of Ci and carbonic anhydrase are the two main factors underlying the high affinity for Ci. The other factors such as development of carboxysomes and pyrenoids under low CO2 conditions may also be important. Contribution of each factor to the high affinity for Ci in photosynthesis seems to differ from species to species. Key words: Chlorella, inorganic carbon transport, carbonic anhydrase, fatty acids composition, CO2.
