reverse Krebs cycle

Unlike the Reverse Krebs cycle and the Calvin cycle, this process is not cyclic.

Some forms catalyze the reverse reaction within the Reverse Krebs cycle, as a means of carbon fixation.

The Crenarchaeota also use the reverse Krebs cycle while the Euryarchaeota also use the reductive acetyl-CoA pathway.

Many autotrophic bacteria and archaea fix carbon via the reductive acetyl CoA pathway, the 3-hydroxypropionate cycle, or the reverse Krebs cycle.

In plants, algae and cyanobacteria, sugars are produced by a sequence of light-independent reactions called the Calvin cycle, but some bacteria use different mechanisms, such as the reverse Krebs cycle.

The reverse Krebs cycle (also known as the reverse tricarboxylic acid cycle, the reverse TCA cycle, or the reverse citric acid cycle)
