Ribulose Monophosphate Carbon Fixation Pathway Group

Ribulose Monophosphate Carbon Fixation Pathway Group

	Ribulose Monophosphate Carbon Fixation Pathway Group -This pathway starts with CI + C5 condensation in the Calvin-Benson cycle. It was first detected in obligatory methane oxidizers (Anthony, 1975) and is found in pseudomonads, hyphomicrobia and yeasts.
They essential feature of this pathway is that oxidation of C1 compounds results in the formation of formaldehyde, which serves as the prime carbon source for biosynthesis. Other carbon compounds such as CO2 and acetate serve as secondary sources of carbon.
