Online published on 25 April, 2013. Abstract The prokaryotes and eukaryotes are separated by roughly three billion years of evolution, when bacterial and eukaryote division is thought to have taken place. During this time there have been countless chances for the genes in two organisms to diverge by mutation, to change gene structure by gene fusion or fission and to acquire new genes for a function by horizontal transfer or functional displacement of one gene by another within a genome. In the present study we have compared & analyzed the metabolic pathways of A. thaliana & E.coli to understand the extant of conservation of enzymes in their metabolic pathways. Present study indicate that the A. thaliana, a flowering plant and E.col, a gram negative bacteria were found sharing significant similarity in their metabolic pathways.
