| Comments | P.444 left column bottom paragraph: "The eukaryotic algal CCM may have unique advantages for transferring a CCM to higher plants, because eukaryotic algae and vascular plants share close evolutionary relationships and similar photosynthetic and many other molecular characteristics. The typical 2–3 mM stromal HCO3– concentration apparently required for microalgal CCM function (primary sources) may also be much easier to achieve than the 20–40 mM internal HCO3– concentration characteristic of the typical cyanobacterial system (BNID 114620)." |
