Pathways

Gluconobacter oxydans is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the family Acetobacteraceae. It is a rod-shaped and obligately aerobic bacterium having a respiratory type of metabolism using oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. It can grow in highly concentrated sugar solutions and at low pH values. It contains many membrane-bound dehydrogenases that are critical for the incomplete[..]

Xanthomonas is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium known for being a common plant pathogen. This bacterium is grown commercially to produce the exopolysaccharide xanthan gum, which is used to control viscosity and as a stabilizing agent in many industries. Xanthomonas affects many types of hosts, including citrus, beans, grapes, cotton, and rice. X. axonopodis[..]

Leptospira is a genus of spirochetal bacteria and the causative agent of leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease of worldwide distribution. There are over 230 recognized serovars of pathogenic leptospires. Leptospira causes Leptospirosis, which causes a wide range of clinical manifestations ranging from a simple febrile illness to systemic complications such as pulmonary hemorrhage syndrome, acute[..]

Legionella pneumophila is a motile, rod-shaped, Gram-negative, aerobic, bacterium, considered to be a facultative parasite. L. pneumophila is the causative agent of the Legionnaires' disease, a potential fatal pneumonia. L. pneumophila Lens is an epidemic strain L. pneumophila Paris was responsible for a major outbreak of disease in France. Other virulent strains[..]

Neisseria meningitidis is a causative agent of meningitis, and is responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Most disease-causing N. meningitidis strains belong to Serogroups A, B and C. Serogroup A strains are responsible for major epidemics and pandemics of meningococcal disease, and therefore most of the morbidity and mortality associated with this[..]

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, aerobic rod, belonging to the bacterial family Pseudomonadaceae and is one of the top three causes of opportunistic human infections. It is a versatile bacterium that grows in soil, marshes and coastal marine habitats, as well as on plant and animal tissues. It occurs regularly on the surfaces of plants and occassionally on the surfaces of animals.[..]

Plasmodium falciparum is the etiological agent of malaria tropica, the leading cause of death due to a vector borne infectious disease, claiming 0.5 million lives every year. The single-cell eukaryote undergoes a complex life cycle and is an obligate intracellular parasite of hepatocytes and erythrocytes (Ref.1). Malaria in humans is caused by five species of protozoan parasites of the genus[..]

Photorhabdus luminescens is a nematode-symbiotic, gram negative, bioluminescent bacterium, belonging to the family of Enterobacteriaceae. P. luminescens is a part of the Photorhadbus genus, known to have three bacterial species: Photorhabdus luminescens, Photorhabdus temperata and Photorhabdus asymbiotica (Ref.1). It lives in the gut of an entomopathogenic nematode[..]

Prochlorococcus is a genus of very small (0.6 μm) marine cyanobacteria with an unusual pigmentation (chlorophyll a2 and b2). These bacteria belong to the photosynthetic picoplankton and are probably the most abundant photosynthetic organism on Earth. Prochlorococcus microbes are among the major primary producers in the ocean, responsible for a large percentage of the photosynthetic[..]

The marine unicellular green cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus marinus MIT9313 belongs to the most abundant and photosynthetically productive genus of cyanobacteria in the oceans. This monophyletic genus use divinyl chlorophyll a (Chl a2) and b (Chl b2) to build the photosystems and the membrane-intrinsic Pcb-type antennae. P. marinus MIT9313 has two genes that encode[..]

Prochlorococcus is one of the main picophytoplankters in the oligotrophic oceans of our planet(Ref.1). The P. marinus SS120 strain represents an extreme within the Prochlorococcus genus because of its ability to grow at very low light levels. This strain is characterized by a nearly minimal gene complement with a compact genome. The genome is a single circular chromosome of 1,751,080[..]

Photobacterium profundum is a deep sea Gammaproteobacterium, belonging to the family Vibrionaceae and genus Photobacterium. Members of Photobacterium genus are marine organism. There are currently 4 cultured wild-type strains of P. profundum, (strains SS9, 3TCK, DJS4 and 1230) (Ref.1). P. profundum has two circular chromosomes and is a gram-negative with rod shape and has two[..]
