PII-like signaling protein SbtB links cAMP sensing with cyanobacterial inorganic carbon response [Microbiology]

Cyanobacteria are phototrophic prokaryotes that evolved oxygenic photosynthesis ∼2.7 billion y ago and are presently responsible for ∼10% of total global photosynthetic production. To cope with the evolutionary pressure of dropping ambient CO2 concentrations, they evolved a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) to augment intracellular inorganic carbon (Ci) levels for efficient CO2...
