name: carbon fixation by 3-hydroxypropionate cycle
namespace: biological_process
def: "An autotrophic carbon dioxide fixation pathway by which two molecules of carbon dioxide are fixed to form glyoxylate. Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is assumed to be converted to malate, and two CO2 molecules are thereby fixed. Malyl-CoA is thought to be cleaved to acetyl-CoA, the starting molecule, and glyoxylate, the carbon fixation product." [GOC:jl, PMID:11418572, PMID:15838028]
