It was elucidated at Berkeley by exposing Chlorella pyrenoidosa to a radioactive substance and killing its cells with boiling methanol. Noted for using sedheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate phosphatase, this process uses five molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to regenerate the starting material. This process occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts, and is associated with the most abundant protein on Earth, rubisco. For 10 points, name this eponymous cycle that is part of the light independent reactions of photosynthesis.
