The discovery of how a critical enzyme works sheds new light on how cells control key processes in carbon fixation, and could help engineer climate resilient crops capable of sucking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere more efficiently, helping produce more food in the process. Research has demonstrated a previously unknown function of an enzyme called carboxysomal carbonic anhydrase (CsoSCA), found in cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae) to maximize the microorganisms’ ability to extract CO2 from the atmosphere.
