The algal pyrenoid
The confinement of Rubisco in a chloroplast microcompartment, or pyrenoid, is a distinctive feature of most microalgae, and contributes to perhaps ~30 Pg of carbon fixed each year, yet our understanding of pyrenoid composition...
A repeat protein links Rubisco to form the eukaryotic carbon-concentrating organelle.
