the enzyme is induced by low CO2 conditions, the enzyme probably has an important role in adaption of this algal cell to low CO2 conditions. A possible role for the mitochondrial enzyme might be to function as a pH stabilizer to prevent alkalinization of the mitochondrial matrix at the onset of photorespiration. The enzyme could also be involved in the diffusion and transport of inorganic carbon species within the mitochondrial matrix as well as their efflux |

external carbonic anhydrase enables algal cells to utilize HCO3- as inorganic carbon source in case that CO2 is limited externally to the plasma membrane |

in mortality bioassays, carbonic anhydrase protects Tribolium castaneum from the toxicity of COS but has the opposite effect on COS toxicity. With CS2, carbonic anhydrase has a very minor role, neither facilitating, nor protecting against toxicity |

the enzyme might play a key role in maintenance of midgut pH |
