Project description:Crystalline chitin is a kind of high molecular-weight polymers which is difficult to degrade. N-acetylglucosamine and chitooligosaccharides (COSs) are important agriculture, medicine, cosmetics and food resources. Conversion of crystalline chitin to GlcNAc and COSs using recombinant chitinases is an environmentally compatible, reproducible and products controllable method. Here, we report the ability of Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra DSM 14401 to degrade crystalline.
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.
