Project description:This genome-scale metabolic model (GEM) of Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum strain DSM 44922 (Taxon ID 38304) was initially built with CarveMe version 1.5.1 based on the genome assembly with NCBI accession GCF_013408445.1 and then underwent a series of careful semi-automatic and manual curation. It is the first model curated using the Python tool MCC for mass and charge curation.
Project description:Dunaliella salina Bardawil (also known as Dunaliella bardawil) is an extremophilic, unicellular green alga from the Chlorophyte lineage. D. salina is found in hypersaline environments where it can tolerate extremes of heat, light, pH, and up to saturating concentrations of salt. The D. salina Bardawil isolate (UTEX LB 2538) was found in a salt pond near the Bardawil Lagoon on the Sinai peninsula in 1976. This isolate of D. salina is the richest natural source of beta-carotene, a highly valuable commercial product. This accession includes an RNA-Seq analysis of D. salina Bardawil cultures grown in iron-replete (1.5 µM) or iron-deficient (0 µM) media.
