Comments | "The values in Table 1 are Rubisco as a fraction of total protein in the cells...The values in Table 1 suggest that the organisms with CCMs (carbon dioxide concentrating mechanism) have less than half of the Rubisco content of terrestrial C3 plants. The global quantity of Rubisco is, then, less than three quarters, and possibly less than five eighths, of what would be the case if all primary producers using Rubisco had the quantity of Rubisco found in C3 terrestrial plants." |
