This process solves one of the problems which plants face on land: rubisco can bind oxygen as efficiently as carbon dioxide.  In order to gain a higher concentration of CO2, plants assimilate CO2 at night when their stomata are open and use PEP carboxylase to fix CO2 into OAA, which is reduced to malate.  For ten points, name this photosynthetic process that separates rubisco from O2 over time and which uses its namesake acid to do so, a process often confused with C4 photosynthesis.
