Term Name:	terpenoid biosynthetic process, mevalonate-independent
Synonyms:	mevalonate-independent terpene biosynthesis, mevalonate-independent terpene biosynthetic process, mevalonate-independent terpenoid biosynthesis, mevalonate-independent terpenoid biosynthetic process, terpene biosynthesis, mevalonate-independent, terpene biosynthetic process, mevalonate-independent, terpenoid anabolism, mevalonate-independent, terpenoid formation, mevalonate-independent, terpenoid synthesis, mevalonate-independent
Definition:	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of terpenoids, independent of mevalonate. Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) is the fundamental unit in terpenoid biosynthesis, and in mevalonate-independent biosynthesis, it is produced from pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate via intermediates including 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate.
