Photosynthesis reductive carboxylic acid cycle

Amon and coworkers< > have postulated a new cyclic pathway, named reductive carboxylic acid cycle, that provides another mechanism independent of the reductive pentose cycle for the assimilation of CO2 in bacterial photosynthesis. This cycle generates acetyl-CoA from two molecules of CO2 and is driven by reduced ferredoxin, reduced nucleotides, and ATP, according to the overall simplified equation ...
