Gene transfer history of carbon fixation proteins constrains marine cyanobacteria divergence times (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Carboxysomes provide an avenue for narrowing the timing of evolutionary events in groups of cyanobacteria that are ecologically dominant in modem marine environments - groups that may have an integral role in oxygenating ...
