1.
Catherall E, Musial S, Atkinson N, Walker C, Mackinder L, McCormick A
Trends Biochem Sci . 2024 Nov; 50(1):33-45. PMID: 39592300
Pyrenoids are the key component of one of the most abundant biological CO concentration mechanisms found in nature. Pyrenoid-based CO-concentrating mechanisms (pCCMs) are estimated to account for one third of...
2.
Hennacy J, Atkinson N, Kayser-Browne A, Ergun S, Franklin E, Wang L, et al.
Nat Plants . 2024 Nov; 10(12):2038-2051. PMID: 39548241
Approximately one-third of global CO assimilation is performed by the pyrenoid, a liquid-like organelle found in most algae and some plants. Specialized pyrenoid-traversing membranes are hypothesized to drive CO assimilation...

Barrett J, Naduthodi M, Mao Y, Degut C, Musial S, Salter A, et al.
Nat Plants . 2024 Oct; 10(11):1801-1813. PMID: 39384944
CO fixation is commonly limited by inefficiency of the CO-fixing enzyme Rubisco. Eukaryotic algae concentrate and fix CO in phase-separated condensates called pyrenoids, which complete up to one-third of global...
4.
Adler L, Lau C, Shaikh K, van Maldegem K, Payne-Dwyer A, Lefoulon C, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2024 Sep; 196(4):2374-2394. PMID: 39240724
In many eukaryotic algae, CO2 fixation by Rubisco is enhanced by a CO2-concentrating mechanism, which utilizes a Rubisco-rich organelle called the pyrenoid. The pyrenoid is traversed by a network of...

Hennacy J, Atkinson N, Kayser-Browne A, Ergun S, Franklin E, Wang L, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Aug; PMID: 39211136
Approximately one-third of global CO assimilation is performed by the pyrenoid , a liquid-like organelle found in most algae and some plants . Specialized membranes are hypothesized to drive CO...

Victoria A, Astbury M, McCormick A
Curr Opin Biotechnol . 2024 May; 87:103141. PMID: 38735193
Cyanobacteria are a diverse and ecologically important group of photosynthetic prokaryotes that contribute significantly to the global carbon cycle through the capture of CO as biomass. Cyanobacterial biotechnology could play...

Victoria A, Selao T, Moreno-Cabezuelo J, Mills L, Gale G, Lea-Smith D, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2024 May; 196(2):1674-1690. PMID: 38713768
Synechococcus sp. PCC 11901 (PCC 11901) is a fast-growing marine cyanobacterial strain that has a capacity for sustained biomass accumulation to very high cell densities, comparable to that achieved by...

Croce R, Carmo-Silva E, Cho Y, Ermakova M, Harbinson J, Lawson T, et al.
Plant Cell . 2024 May; 36(10):3944-3973. PMID: 38701340
Improving photosynthesis, the fundamental process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, is a key area of research with great potential for enhancing sustainable agricultural productivity and addressing...

Atkinson N, Stringer R, Mitchell S, Seung D, McCormick A
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Jan; 121(4):e2311013121. PMID: 38241434
The pyrenoid is a chloroplastic microcompartment in which most algae and some terrestrial plants condense the primary carboxylase, Rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) as part of a CO-concentrating mechanism that improves the...
