Definition
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of any member of a large group of derivatives or analogs of porphyrin. Porphyrin consists of a ring of four pyrrole nuclei linked each to the next at their alpha positions through a methine group. Source: ISBN:0198506732, Wikipedia:Porphyrin#Natural_formation, GOC:jl
