Fig. 2. — Rubisco kinetic parameters measured at 25 °C. Rubisco properties measured from diatoms (blue circles), tobacco and maize (green circles, see Table 1) compared with previously published values for red algae (red, maroon dashes), C₃ plants (dark green dashes), and C₄ plants (light green dashes) (Badger et al., 1998; Savir et al., 2010; Supplementary Table S1). Kinetic parameters include (A) the maximum rates of carboxylation (k _cat ^c), (B) oxygenation rate (k _cat ^o), the K _m for (C) CO₂ (K _C) and (D) O₂ (K _O), (E) the specificity for CO₂ over O₂ (S_C/O), and (F) the carboxylation efficiency (k _cat ^c /K _C, mM s⁻¹).
