| - | + | Biological carbon fixation or сarbon assimilation is the process by which inorganic carbon (particularly in the form of carbon dioxide) is converted to organic compounds by living organisms. See also [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_carbon_fixation]. | |

| - | + | Organisms that grow by fixing carbon are called autotrophs, which include photoautotrophs (which use sunlight), and lithoautotrophs (which use inorganic oxidation). | |
| - | + | Several autotrophic carbon fixation pathways are known: | |
