Biofuels are currently on high demand because of the rising of oil prices and limitations on fuel reserves. Therefore, finding new sources for biofuels is highly important.oleaginous organisms, such as Rhodococcus jostii (RHA1),have the capacity, under stress conditions, to acummulatetryglicerids (TAGs) which are precursors for a non vegetable alternative of biofuels. This accumulation is produced by switching on or rerouting metabolic pathways.Understanding what mechanisms regulate metabolic pathways leading to oil production is important. We presentpreliminary clustering results applied to proteomic data ofthe bacteria RHA1, using affinity propagation algorithm(AP), in order to improve our knowledge about the processes of synthesis of triglycerides that RHA1 performsunder different conditions.
