New roads lead to Rubisco in Archaebacteria
Article Abstract:
A new C[O.sub.2] fixing role for Rubisco in the Archaebacteria has helped in understanding the evolution of autotrophy. It is also shown that some Rubisco-containing Archaea contain phosphoribulokinase (PRK) and also represents an interesting autotrophic evolutionary transition.
