Carboxysomes, microcompartments that enhance the fixation of carbon dioxide by Rubisco, are found in several chemoautotrophs and in all cyanobacteria thus far examined. The genes for Rubisco large (cbbL) and small (cbbS) subunits (cbb for Calvin-Benson-Bassham), along with the genes (csoS) for the carboxysome shell peptides, are organized in a putative operon in Halothiobacillus neapolitanus in the following order: cbbL,cbbS, csoS2, csoS3, orfA, orfB, csoS1C, csoS1A, and csoS1B. DNA sequencing has revealed essentially the same operon in three other thiobacilli, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Thiomonas intermedia, and Thiobacillus denitrificans. The carboxysome genes are also clustered inSynechococcus sp. and Synechocystis sp., although in some cases certain genes lie outside the cluster. The genes, labelled ccm for CO2 concentrating mechanism, exist in Synechococcus PCC7942 in the order ccmK, ccmL, ccmM, ccmN, and ccmO, and are located upstream of the Rubisco genes. ccmO is absent, and multiple copies of ccmK exist in some species. The ccmK/ccmO and ccmL genes are homologues of csoS1CAB andorfAB, respectively. The ccmM and ccmN genes have no apparent counterpart in the thiobacilli. More recently, the genome sequence of four additional cyanobacteria has become available. The carboxysome genes in Nostoc punctiforme are clustered like, and are similar to, the genes of the earlier mentioned cyanobacteria. However, the three marine organisms Prochlorococcus marinus MIT9313, P. marinus MED4, and Synechococcus WH8102, possess an operon nearly identical to that found in thiobacilli. Furthermore, the genes exhibit surprising sequence identity to the carboxysome genes of the thiobacilli.

Carboxysomes containing the Calvin cycle enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) have been demonstrated in a variety of chemoautotrophic prokaryotes and cyanobacteria. The genes in the ccm and cso operon in Synechococcus sp. PCC7942 and Thiobacillus neapolitanus, respectively, code for several carboxysome polypeptides. The polypeptides CcmK and CsoS1 exhibit a high degree of conservation, and in turn show significant homology to the CchA and PduA polypeptides of the ethanolamine and propanediol operons of enteric bacteria. Probing Southern blots of Escherichia coli genomic DNA with csoS1A showed positive hybridization indicating the presence of a csoS1-like gene. Growing Salmonella enterica and Klebsiella oxytoca with propanediol, and E.coli with ethanolamine as the energy source under anaerobic conditions resulted in the formation of polyhedral bodies in these bacteria. The DNA - deduced amino acid sequence of three additional csoS1 genes in both Thiobacillus intermedius and Thiobacillus denitrificans was determined. The nine CsoS1 polypeptides, which includes the three previously determined for T.neapolitanus, exhibited greater than 67% sequence identity. Identity and similarity comparisons and phylogenetic analysis of known polyhedral body CsoS1-like polypeptides indicate a close structural relationship between polyhedral bodies of potentially very different function.Key words: polyhedral bodies, carboxysomes, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase, cyanobacteria, thiobacilli, enteric bacteria.
