What is it about?

Increase in CO2 concentration can be mitigated by autotrophic and heterotrophic carbon fixation by plants and microorganisms. Genomic analysis can be an helpful tool to evaluate the carbon dioxide sequestering potency of microbes

Why is it important?

Serratia sp. ISTD04 is a novel organism which performs chemolithoautotrophic carbon dioxide assimilation. Genome analysis of Serratia sp. ISTD04 revealed the presence of phosphoribulokinase (PRK) and other CBB pathway genes.

Perspectives

Genomic analysis revealed the gene responsible for carbon dioxide sequestration as well as production of biomaterials
