The current model of the biophysical CCM reliant upon a pyrenoid considers active transport of bicarbonate from the extracellular environment to the vicinity of Rubisco, via transporters at the chloroplast stroma are thought to contribute to maintaining an intracellular pool of DIC, mainly in the form of bicarbonate.

"Takayama tasmanica " is similar to " Gymnodinium pulchellum " in its external morphology, however it differs from them by having two ventral pores, a large horseshoe-shaped nucleus, and its characteristic central pyrenoid with radiating chloroplasts passing through its nucleus.
33.
Pyrenoids are highly plastic structures and the degree of Rubisco packaging correlates with the state of induction of the CCM . In " Chlamydomonas ", when the CCM is repressed, for example when cells are maintained in a CO 2-rich environment, the pyrenoid is small and the matrix is unstructured.
34.
In " Chlamydomonas ", a high-molecular weight complex of two proteins ( LCIB / LCIC ) forms an additional concentric layer around the pyrenoid, outside the starch sheath, and this is currently hypothesised to act as a barrier to CO 2-leakage or to recapture CO 2 that escapes from the pyrenoid.

This being the case, there might have been a similar evolutionary pressure that resulted in the development of the pyrenoid, though it must be noted that in this case, a pyrenoid or pyrenoid-like structure could have developed, and have been lost as CO 2 levels then rose, only to be gained or developed again during the period of land colonisation by plants.
