Categorization of metabolic pathways in bacteria

Abstract

A S Kolaskar and Shweta Kolhi

Fully sequenced bacterial genomes having more than ≥250 well annotated metabolic pathways were analysed to find out identical pathways in all these bacteria in more than 100 well annotated bacteria ≥250 well annotated pathways and fully sequenced genomes, 42 identical pathways were found in each of these bacteria. These pathways were called as stage I pathways or Fundamental pathways.
