Why is it important?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major greenhouse gases (GHGs), whose concentration has increased from 270 ppm to approximately 380 ppm after industrial revolution . Increase in CO2 concentration may be mitigated by autotrophic and heterotrophic carbon fixation by plants and microorganisms. Some microorganisms are able to grow in limiting CO2 concentrations by employing a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) by enzymes mainly ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (RuBisCO) and carboxylating enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase which facilitate the CO2 fixation
