Using the FORESTS and KEGG databases to investigate the metabolic network of Eucalyptus

In this work we apply a bioinformatics approach to determine the most important enzymes of the metabolic network of Eucalyptus to determine the coverage of the genome in the FORESTS library. We conclude that the library does not cover completely the metabolism of the organism. However, some important pathways could be analyzed, especially the lignin synthesis. We found that four of the most important enzymes predicted are involved in this pathway
