    Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton



  2. A pathway for the fixation of carbon dioxide, used by photosynthetic organisms and some chemolithotrophs.

Calvin Cycle Notes:

Calvin cycle is a three key steps process and includes reactions in photosynthesis, which are light independent. However, if not directly, but indirectly it is dependent on the light for the reactions to take place as ATP and NADPH, necessary energy carriers, are products of light-dependent reactions.
