Abundant and metabolically flexible bacterial lineages underlie a vast potential for rubisco-mediated carbon fixation in the dark ocean

Abundant and metabolically flexible bacterial lineages underlie a vast potential for rubisco-mediated carbon fixation in the dark ocean

Abstract Background Rubisco is among the most abundant enzymes on Earth and is a critical conduit for inorganic carbon into the biosphere. Despite this, the full extent of rubisco diversity and the biology of organisms that employ it for carbon fixation are still emerging, particularly in unlit ecos...
