Name | Ec number | The number of Gene in total | KEGG Identity < 50% | 50% ≤ KEGG Identity ≤ 90% | KEGG Identity > 90% | Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SOD | 1.15.1.1 | 61 | 0 | 33 | 28 | Catalyzes the dismutation (or partitioning) of the superoxide (O2−) radical into either ordinary molecular oxygen (O2) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It is useful in the food and cosmetic industry. |
Alpha-amylase | 3.2.1.1 | 40 | 0 | 30 | 10 | Hydrolyses alpha bonds of large, alpha-linked polysaccharides, useful in the food industry. |
Penicillin amidase | 3.5.1.11 | 48 | 3 | 26 | 19 | Used in the production of beta lactam antibiotic intermediates. |
Polyketide synthase | 2.3.1.- | 1699 | 78 | 929 | 692 | A family of multi-domain enzymes or enzyme complexes that produce polyketides, a large class of secondary metabolites |
Non-ribosomal peptide synthetase | 6.3.2.- | 488 | 17 | 265 | 206 | Nonribosomal peptides (NRP) are a class of peptide secondary metabolites. Nonribosomal peptides are a very diverse family of natural products with an extremely broad range of biological activities and pharmacological properties. |
Endoglucanase | 3.2.1.4 | 57 | 9 | 45 | 3 | Catalyzes cellulolysis |
Beta-D-Glucodidase | 3.2.1.21 | 136 | 4 | 99 | 33 | Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds |
