TL;DR Summary

Researchers have discovered a new function of the enzyme carboxysomal carbonic anhydrase (CsoSCA) in cyanobacteria, which allows these algae to absorb more carbon dioxide from the air than previously known. This finding could lead to the development of climate-resilient crops that require less nitrogen fertilizer and water, while also capturing more carbon dioxide, potentially cooling the planet and securing food supplies.
