A mathematical model is presented, which describes the distribution of inorganic carbon (Ci) between the species CaCO3, CaHCO + 3 , CO 2 - 3 , HCO - 3 and CO2 in the cytosol of a high CO2-requiring mutant of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803, which lacks carboxysomes. The model assumes that
In the cyanobacteria, mechanisms exist that allow photosynthetic CO 2 reduction to proceed efficiently even at very low levels of inorganic carbon. These inducible, active transport mechanisms enable the cyanobacteria to accumulate large internal concentrations of inorganic carbon that may be up to
