"Because the Archaea possessing a type III RuBisCO are all anaerobic, it is most likely that only the carboxylase activity of RuBisCO, and not the competitive oxygenase activity (by which RuBP reacts with O(2) to form one molecule of 3-phosphoglycerate and one molecule of 2-phosphoglycolate), is biologically relevant in these strains."xsd:string
