Genomic analysis of carbon dioxide sequestering bacterium for exopolysaccharides production

In the present study, genomic analysis of a previously reported carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sequestering bacterium Serratia sp. ISTD04 was performed along with exopolysaccharide (EPS) production. Genomic analysis identified key and accessory enzymes responsible for CO 2 sequestration. EPS synthesis genes were discovered in the genome and identified 8 putative clusters responsible for lipopolysaccharide, stewartan, emulsan, polysaccharide B, capsular...
