Abstract
The relative abundance of transcripts encoding proteins involved in inorganic carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCM), detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and photosynthesis in the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus OS-B' was measured in hot spring microbial mats over two diel cycles, and was coupled with in situ determinations of incoming irradiance and microenvironmental dynamics of O(2) and pH. Fluctuations in pH and O(2) in the mats were largely driven by the diel cycle of solar irradiance, with a pH variation from ∼7.0 to ∼9.5, and O(2) levels ranging from anoxia to supersaturation during night and day, respectively. Levels of various transcripts from mat cyanobacteria revealed several patterns that correlated with incident irradiance, O(2) and pH within the mat matrix. Transcript abundances for most genes increased during the morning dark-light transition. Some transcripts remained at a near constant level throughout the light period, whereas others showed an additional increase in abundance as the mat underwent transition from low-to-high light (potentially reflecting changes in O(2) concentration and pH), followed by either a decreased abundance in the early afternoon, or a gradual decline during the early afternoon and into the evening. One specific transcipt, psbA1, was the lowest during mid-day under high irradiance and increased when the light levels declined. We discuss these complex in situ transcriptional patterns with respect to environmental and endogenous cues that might impact and regulate transcription over the diel cycle.

Abstract
Production and consumption processes in soils contribute to the global cycles of many trace gases (CH4, CO, OCS, H2, N2O, and NO) that are relevant for atmospheric chemistry and climate. Soil microbial processes contribute substantially to the budgets of atmospheric trace gases. The flux of trace gases between soil and atmosphere is usually the result of simultaneously operating production and consumption processes in soil: The relevant processes are not yet proven with absolute certainty, but the following are likely for trace gas consumption: H2 oxidation by abiontic soil enzymes; CO cooxidation by the ammonium monooxygenase of nitrifying bacteria; CH4 oxidation by unknown methanotrophic bacteria that utilize CH4 for growth; OCS hydrolysis by bacteria containing carbonic anhydrase; N2O reduction to N2 by denitrifying bacteria; NO consumption by either reduction to N2O in denitrifiers or oxidation to nitrate in heterotrophic bacteria. Wetland soils, in contrast to upland soils are generally anoxic and thus support the production of trace gases (H2, CO, CH4, N2O, and NO) by anaerobic bacteria such as fermenters, methanogens, acetogens, sulfate reducers, and denitrifiers. Methane is the dominant gaseous product of anaerobic degradation of organic matter and is released into the atmosphere, whereas the other trace gases are only intermediates, which are mostly cycled within the anoxic habitat. A significant percentage of the produced methane is oxidized by methanotrophic bacteria at anoxic-oxic interfaces such as the soil surface and the root surface of aquatic plants that serve as conduits for O2 transport into and CH4 transport out of the wetland soils. The dominant production processes in upland soils are different from those in wetland soils and include H2 production by biological N2 fixation, CO production by chemical decomposition of soil organic matter, and NO and N2O production by nitrification and denitrification. The processes responsible for CH4 production in upland soils are completely unclear, as are the OCS production processes in general. A problem for future research is the attribution of trace gas metabolic processes not only to functional groups of microorganisms but also to particular taxa. Thus, it is completely unclear how important microbial diversity is for the control of trace gas flux at the ecosystem level. However, different microbial communities may be part of the reason for differences in trace gas metabolism, e.g., effects of nitrogen fertilizers on CH4 uptake by soil; decrease of CH4 production with decreasing temperature; or different rates and modes of NO and N2O production in different soils and under different conditions.

Abstract
The effects of ethoxyzolamide (EZ), a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, on the active CO2 and Na+-independent and Na+-dependent HCO3- transport systems of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. UTEX 625 were examined. Measurements of transport and accumulation using radiochemical, fluorometric, and mass spectrometric assays indicated that active CO2 transport and active Na+-independent HCO3- transport were inhibited by EZ. However, Na+-independent HCO3- transport was about 1 order of magnitude more sensitive to EZ inhibition than was CO2 transport (50% inhibition = 12 [mu]M versus 80 [mu]M). The data suggest that both the active CO2 (G.D. Price, M.R. Badger [1989] Plant Physiol 89: 37-43) and the Na+ -independent HCO3 - transport systems possessed carbonic anhydrase-like activity as part of their mechanism of action. In contrast, Na+-dependent HCO3- transport was only partially (50% inhibition = 230 [mu]M) and noncompetitively inhibited by EZ. The collective evidence suggested that EZ inhibition of Na+ -dependent HCO3- transport was an indirect consequence of the action of EZ on the CO2 transport system, rather than a direct effect on HCO3- transport. A model is presented in which the core of the inorganic carbon translocating system is formed by Na+-dependent HCO3- transport and the CO2 transport system. It is argued that the Na+-independent HCO3 - utilizing system was not directly involved in translocation, but converted HCO3- to CO2 for use in CO2 transport.

Abstract
The active transport and intracellular accumulation of HCO(3) (-) by air-grown cells of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus UTEX 625 (PCC 6301) was strongly promoted by 25 millimolar Na(+).Na(+)-dependent HCO(3) (-) accumulation also resulted in a characteristic enhancement in the rate of photosynthetic O(2) evolution and CO(2) fixation. However, when Synechococcus was grown in standing culture, high rates of HCO(3) (-) transport and photosynthesis were observed in the absence of added Na(+). The internal HCO(3) (-) pool reached levels up to 50 millimolar, and an accumulation ratio as high as 970 was observed. Sodium enhanced HCO(3) (-) transport and accumulation in standing culture cells by about 25 to 30% compared with the five- to eightfold enhancement observed with air-grown cells. The ability of standing culture cells to utilize HCO(3) (-) from the medium in the absence of Na(+) was lost within 16 hours after transfer to air-grown culture and was reacquired during subsequent growth in standing culture. Studies using a mass spectrometer indicated that standing culture cells were also capable of active CO(2) transport involving a high-affinity transport system which was reversibly inhibited by H(2)S, as in the case for air-grown cells. The data are interpreted to indicate that Synechococcus possesses a constitutive CO(2) transport system, whereas Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)-independent HCO(3) (-) transport are inducible, depending upon the conditions of growth. Intracellular accumulation of HCO(3) (-) was always accompanied by a quenching of chlorophyll a fluorescence which was independent of CO(2) fixation. The extent of fluorescence quenching was highly dependent upon the size of the internal pool of HCO(3) (-) + CO(2). The pattern of fluorescence quenching observed in response to added HCO(3) (-) and Na(+) in air-grown and standing culture cells was highly characteristic for Na(+)-dependent and Na(+)-independent HCO(3) (-) accumulation. It was concluded that measurements of fluorescence quenching provide an indirect means for following HCO(3) (-) transport and the dynamics of intracellular HCO(3) (-) accumulation and dissipation.

Abstract
Carbonyl sulfide (COS), a substrate for carbonic anhydrase, inhibited alkalization of the medium, O(2) evolution, dissolved inorganic carbon accumulation, and photosynthetic CO(2) fixation at pH 7 or higher by five species of unicellular green algae that had been air-adapted for forming a CO(2)-concentrating process. This COS inhibition can be attributed to inhibition of external HCO(3) (-) conversion to CO(2) and OH(-) by the carbonic anhydrase component of an active CO(2) pump. At a low pH of 5 to 6, COS stimulated O(2) evolution during photosynthesis by algae with low CO(2) in the media without alkalization of the media. This is attributed to some COS hydrolysis by carbonic anhydrase to CO(2). Although COS had less effect on HCO(3) (-) accumulation at pH 9 by a HCO(3) (-) pump in Scenedesmus, COS reduced O(2) evolution probably by inhibiting internal carbonic anhydrases. Because COS is hydrolyzed to CO(2) and H(2)S, its inhibition of the CO(2) pump activity and photosynthesis is not accurate, when measured by O(2) evolution, by NaH(14)CO(3) accumulation, or by (14)CO(2) fixation.

Abstract
The active transport of CO(2) in Synechococcus UTEX 625 was measured by mass spectrometry under conditions that preclude HCO(3) (-) transport. The substrate concentration required to give one half the maximum rate for whole cell CO(2) transport was determined to be 0.4 +/- 0.2 micromolar (mean +/- standard deviation; n = 7) with a range between 0.2 and 0.66 micromolar. The maximum rates of CO(2) transport ranged between 400 and 735 micromoles per milligram of chlorophyll per hour with an average rate of 522 for seven experiments. This rate of transport was about three times greater than the dissolved inorganic carbon saturated rate of photosynthetic O(2) evolution observed under these conditions. The initial rate of chlorophyll a fluorescence quenching was highly correlated with the initial rate of CO(2) transport (correlation coefficient = 0.98) and could be used as an indirect method to detect CO(2) transport and calculate the substrate concentration required to give one half the maximum rate of transport. Little, if any, inhibition of CO(2) transport was caused by HCO(3) (-) or by Na(+)-dependent HCO(3) (-) transport. However, (12)CO(2) readily interfered with (13)CO(2) transport. CO(2) transport and Na(+)-dependent HCO(3) (-) transport are separate, independent processes and the high affinity CO(2) transporter is not only responsible for the initial transport of CO(2) into the cell but also for scavenging any CO(2) that may leak from the cell during ongoing photosynthesis.

Abstract
This paper reviews progress made in elucidating the inorganic carbon concentrating mechanism in cyanobacteria at the physiological and molecular levels. Emphasis is placed on the mechanism of inorganic carbon transport, physiological and genetical analysis of high-CO(2)-requiring mutants, the polypeptides induced during adaptation to low CO(2), the functional significance of carboxysomes, and the role of carbonic anhydrase. We also make occasional reference to the green algal inorganic carbon-concentrating mechanism.
