Term Information

Accession: GO:0009761
Name: CAM photosynthesis
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None

Definition: The combination of atmospheric CO2 with a 3-carbon molecule phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) to make malic acid. The malic acid is then passed into the vacuole where it is stored until daylight, when it is shuttled back out to be used as a substrate in the light reaction of photosynthesis.
