Typically, a CAM plant loses 50 to 100 g of water for every gram of CO2 gained, compared with values of 250 to 300 g and 400 to 500 g for C4 and C3 plants Thus, CAM plants have a competitive advantage in dry environments.

In CAM plants, formation of the C4 acids is both temporally and spatially separated. At night, CO2 is captured by PEP carboxylase in the cytosol, and the malate that forms from the oxaloacetate product is stored in the vacuole

PEPCase‐kinase transcripts accumulate during the night, controlled by the circadian oscillator and metabolites. Nocturnal phosphorylation of PEPCase controls primary carboxylation.
