Triosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.1, TPI) and fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13, ALD) were key enzymes in the Calvin cycle which plays a significant role in regulating the carbon flux through the cycle. For the regulation of photosynthesis at gene level, the genes encoding ALD and TPI were transferred into filamentous, heterocystour cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC7120, which were from spinach and rice, respectively. The aim of this work was to explore the possibility that photosynthetic carbon fixation in cyanobacteria may be enhanced by increasing the cellular ALD and TPI available for the regeneration of RuBP. In this study, cells were grown in the BG11 medium supplemented with different concentrations of NaHCO 3 or CO 2. The growth parameters, photosynthesis and the apparent photosynthetic affinity for external inorganic carbon (Ci) under different conditions were measured and compared between transgenic and wild type cells. Transgenic cells grew better than wild type cells under higher initial pH. Both cell growth and photosynthesis activities were improved under elevated CO 2, especially for transgenic cells. Under 2% CO 2 enriched air, the apparent photosynthetic affinity for external Ci for transgenic cells was 4.06 times higher than that for wild type cells. These data indicated that the overexpress of foreign ALD and TPI affected the photosynthetic carbon fixation process through the accelerating of carbon flux.
