The metabolic pathways of C. calidirosea T49T illustrating predicted channels, ABC transporters and associated proteins, symporters, antiporters and uniporters, and membrane transport proteins of unknown classification. A wide range of putative intracellular and extracellular GHs have been identified. The large number of carbohydrate ABC transporters (n⩾27) highlight scavenging capability C. calidirosea T49T for soluble carbohydrates, assisted by GH hydrolysis. The component sugars lead to the hexose and pentose pathways, glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain. The high copy number of prepilin genes (n=57) may reflect the exportation of exopolysaccharide and formation of biofilm by C. calidirosea T49T.
