To understand and engineer plant metabolism, we need a comprehensive accurate annotation of all metabolic information across species. As step towards this goal, generated genome-scale pathway databases 126 algal genomes, ranging from model organisms to crops medicinal plants (https://plantcyc.org). Of these, 104 have not been reported before. We systematically evaluated the quality databases, which revealed that our semi-automated validation pipeline dramatically improves quality. then...
Throughout history, humans have relied on plants as a source of medication, flavoring, and food. Plants synthesize large chemical libraries release many these compounds into the rhizosphere atmosphere where they affect animal microbe behavior. To survive, nematodes must evolved sensory capacity to distinguish plant-made small molecules (SMs) that are harmful be avoided from those beneficial should sought.

Alcanivorax sp. strain 97CO-6 was isolated from a crude oil-consuming bacterial consortium, enriched Yellow Sea sediments China. Here, we present the draft genome of 97CO-6, which contains 3,253,423 bp, with G+C content 54.53%, as well 2,931 protein-coding genes and 42 tRNAs.
We present the complete genome sequence of fluoranthene-consuming Cycloclasticus sp. strain PY97N. This has one circular chromosome with a G+C content 42.06%. Moreover, two genomic islands were identified as putative conjugative elements. These details are expected to inform our understanding remarkable catabolic capacities organisms lineage.
Abstract Plant metabolism is a pillar of our ecosystem, food security, and economy. To understand engineer plant metabolism, we first need comprehensive accurate annotation all metabolic information across species. As step towards this goal, previously created the Metabolic Network (PMN), an online resource curated computationally predicted about enzymes, compounds, reactions, pathways that make up metabolism. Here report PMN 15, which contains genome-scale pathway databases 126 algal...
