Looking for recommendations on Post annotation programs for metabolic pathways of metagenomes?

12 August 2019 0 4K Report

I have metagenomes that I have annotated. Now I want to analyse the complex microbial community for all potential metabolic pathways. I have K0 numbers and have used Keggdecoder. Since I am interested in hydrocarbon degradation genes and metal reduction genes, this database is not enough. Any suggestion for tools that can tell me pathway completness for BTEX and PAHs degradation?
