PY - 2008 DA - 2008/12/12 TI - Biosynthesis of storage compounds by Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 and global identification of genes involved in their metabolism JO - BMC Genomics SP - 600 VL - 9 IS - 1 AB - Members of the genus Rhodococcus are frequently found in soil and other natural environments and are highly resistant to stresses common in those environments. The accumulation of storage compounds permits cells to survive and metabolically adapt during fluctuating environmental conditions. The purpose of this study was to perform a genome-wide bioinformatic analysis of key genes encoding metabolism of diverse storage compounds by Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 and to examine its ability to synthesize and accumulate triacylglycerols (TAG), wax esters, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), glycogen and polyphosphate (PolyP).
