Reductive Acetyl-CoA Wood-Ljungdahl Pathway

If we compare the reductive acetyl CoA pathway with the Calvin cycle and the reductive TCA pathways, we see that it presents some differences it is a linear unidirectional pathway, through which two molecules of CO2 are reductively 

Overall, it represents the most important method by which anaerobic organisms, such as acetogenic bacteria and methanogenic Archaea, sequester carbon for biomass production and energy for living [36, 37].
