terpenoid biosynthetic process obsolete terpenoid biosynthetic process, mevalonate-dependent https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/31932 true biological_process terpenoid formation, mevalonate-dependent terpene biosynthetic process, mevalonate-dependent terpenoid anabolism, mevalonate-dependent terpenoid synthesis, mevalonate-dependent OBSOLETE. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of terpenoids via isopentenyl diphosphate, synthesized by the mevalonate pathway. Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) is the fundamental unit in terpenoid biosynthesis, and in mevalonate-dependent terpenoid biosynthesis, acetate, in the form of acetyl-CoA, is converted to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) through a series of mevalonate intermediates. This term was obsoleted because it represents a specific pathway variant, which is out of scope for GO. terpene biosynthesis, mevalonate-dependent GO:0051485
