The Pathway Analysis of Tepidimonas taiwanensis LMG 22826T, Polyhydroxyalkanoate and Alkaline Protease Producer

Abstract

The complete genome sequence of thermophilic type strain Tepidimonas tawanensis LMG 22826 T confirmed the earlier statement of its high biotechnological potential. Thanks to its reported ability to produce alkaline proteases and to synthesize polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), T. taiwanensis is worth our attention. Here, we present further descriptive analysis based on pathways detection which provides us better understanding of the core of such significant properties. This information can be then used in in silico modeling approaches. In total, 108 biological pathways were detected, phaCAB operon and granule-associated proteins -phasins were found and butanoate pathway comparison with other PHA producing bacteria was provided. Finally, simplified PHA synthesis pathway was introduced.
