Table 1. Rubisco catalytic properties.
Rubisco maximum VC and KC are shown for wild-type tobacco and transplastomic lines expressing β-cyanobacterial carboxysome components from Se: Rubisco LSU (L), Rubisco SSU (S), and CcmM35 (M35). Values represent means ± se (n = 3–5 biological replicates). *, Wild-type values are from Occhialini et al. (2016). Letters denote significant differences (P < 0.05) between transplastomic lines as determined by Tukey’s pairwise comparisons following ANOVA.
| Line | VC | KC |
|---|---|---|
| µmol mg−1 min−1 | µm | |
| Wild type* | 3.9 ± 0.2 | 9.0 ± 0.3 |
| SeLS | 15.0 ± 0.9 a | 168 ± 59 a |
| SeL | 0.6 ± 0.2 b | 105 ± 9 a |
| SeLSM35 | 10.9 ± 0.8 c | 133 ± 12 a |
| SeLM35 | 2.0 ± 0.3 b | 110 ± 22 a |
