During a shipboard expedition to Andros Island (Bahamas), photosynthetic measurements for the macroalgae Cladophoropsis membranacea (Chlorophyta), Dilophus guineensis, Turbinaria turbinata, and Lobophora variegata (Phaeophyta), and Laurencia papillosa (Rhodophyta), taken directly from their marine habitat, showed that only Cladophoropsis was saturated at seawater inorganic carbon levels (2.5 mM). The photosynthetic k0.5 values for inorganic carbon ranged from 1.1 to 3.2 mM. Decreasing the pH at 2.5 mM inorganic carbon, and thus enhancing the CO2 by 30-fold, only slightly increased photosynthesis, suggesting that bicarbonate was the major assimilated form of inorganic carbon. At 2.5 mM inorganic carbon, only Lobophora exhibited a Warburg effect on photosynthesis (49%), but at 0.5 mM, Turbinaria and Laurencia were also inhibited by O2. Ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase–oxygenase appeared to be the predominant carboxylation enzyme, but in Dilophus and Laurencia extracts, its activity was rivaled by phosphoeno...
