Popis: This review brings together our recent data on carbonic anhydrases of representatives of alkaliphilic cyanobacteria inhabiting soda lakes, which are considered as the relicts of the ancient terrestrial microbiota. The modern information about cyanobacterial carbonic anhydrases is based mainly on the study of model strains, such as Synechocystis and Synechococcus. Our results are compared with literature data. The role of carbonic anhydrases in the assimilation of inorganic carbon by cyanobacteria of soda lakes is discussed in terms of evolution of the CO2-concentrating mechanism.
