CAM-Like carbon pathway in submerged aquatic plants

K. Aulio1
1 Department of Biology, University of Turku, Turku, Finland

CAM-like photosynthesis was found in the isoetid aquatic plantsLittorella uniflora andIsoetes lacustris, but not in the isoetid speciesLobelia dortmanna or in the elodeidElodea canadensis. Of the taxa studied, the first three are known to utilize sediment-borne CO2, whereasElodea is dependent on bicarbonate.
