One-third of global CO2 fixation is mediated by eukaryotic algae. Nearly all algae enhance their carbon assimilation by operating a CO2 concentrating mechanism (CCM), built around a mysterious organelle called the pyrenoid. Here, we leveraged new tools to determine the localizations of 146 candidate...
Photosynthesis is central to food production and the Earth’s biogeochemistry, yet the molecular basis for its regulation remains poorly understood. Here, using high-throughput genetics in the model eukaryotic alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we identify 115 genes required for photosynthesis, 70 of wh...
