Abstract The 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate (3HP/4HB) pathway of carbon fixation is found in thermophilic Crenarchaeota of the order Sulfolobales and in aerobic, ammonia-oxidizing Thaumarchaeota. Unlike all other known autotrophic carbon metabolisms, this pathway exclusively uses HCO 3− rather than CO 2 as the substrate for carbon fixation. Biomass produced by the 3HB/4HP pathway is relatively 13 C-enriched compared to biomass fixed by other autotrophic pathways, with total biosynthetic isotope effects (ε Ar) of ca. 3‰ in the Sulfolobales and ca. 20‰ in the Thaumarchaeota. Explanations for the difference between these values usually invoke the dual effects of thermophily and growth at low pH (low [H C O 3-]) for the former group vs. mesophily and growth at pH> 7 (high [H C O 3-]) for the latter group. Here we examine the model taxa Metallosphaera sedula and Nitrosopumilus maritimus using an isotope flux-balance model to argue that the primary cause of different ε Ar values more likely is the presence of carbonic anhydrase in M. sedula and its corresponding absence in N. maritimus. The results suggest that the pool of H C O 3-inside N. maritimus is out of isotopic equilibrium with CO 2 and that the organism imports< 10% H C O 3-from the extracellular environment. If correct and generalizable, the aerobic, ammonia-oxidizing marine Thaumarchaeota are dependent on passive CO 2 uptake and a slow rate of intracellular conversion to H C O 3-. Values of ε Ar should therefore vary in response to growth rate (μ) and CO 2 availability, analogous to eukaryotic algae, but in the opposite direction: ε Ar becomes smaller as [CO 2 (aq)] increases and/or μ decreases. Such an idea represents a testable hypothesis, both in the laboratory and in natural systems. Sensitivity to μ and CO 2 implies that measurements of ε Ar may hold promise as a pCO 2 paleobarometer.
