General Information
Term formaldehyde assimilation via xylulose monophosphate cycle ID (Ontology) GO:0019648 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The pathway in which formaldehyde is used as a carbon source in the xylulose monophosphate cycle. Methylotrophic yeasts, but not bacteria, utilize the xylulose monophosphate cycle to fix formaldehyde and convert it into metabolically useful organic compounds.
Also Known As "formaldehyde assimilation via xylulose-5-phosphate cycle" ; "formaldehyde fixation cycle"
