Calvin Cycle Definitions:

  1. Main pathway for the fixation (reduction and incorporation) of CO2 into organic material by photoautotrophs and chemolithoautotrophs.

    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.

    Essential Microbiology by Stuart Hogg



  3. Recurrent photosynthetic pathway characterized by CO2 fixation and glucose synthesis.

    Foundations in Microbiology by Kathleen Park Talaro, Arthur Talaro



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.
