R. aetherivorans BCP1 is able to tolerate high concentrations of the two inorganic arsenic oxyanions, arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)]. Despite the fact that BCP1 intracellularly converts As(V) into As(III), this strain responds very differently to the presence of these two oxyanions in terms of cell growth and toxic effects.

Additionally, the capability of Rhodococcus spp. strains to produce high value-added products has received considerable attention, mostly in relation to lipid accumulation. In relation with this, several works carried out omic studies and genome comparative analyses to investigate the genetic and genomic basis of these anabolic capacities, frequently in association with the bioconversion of renewable resources and low-cost substrates into triacylglycerols. This review is focused on these omic analyses and the genetic and metabolic approaches used to improve the biosynthetic and bioconversion performance of Rhodococcus. In particular, this review summarizes the works that applied heterologous exp...
