Canto-Encalada2022-FBA of simultaneous degradation of ammonia and pollutants
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The ammonia-oxidizing bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea has been widely recognized as an important player in the nitrogen cycle as well as one of the most abundant members in microbial communities for the treatment of industrial or sewage wastewater. Its natural metabolic versatility and extraordinary ability to degrade environmental pollutants enable it to thrive under various harsh environmental conditions. This model of N. europaea (iGC535) is the most accurate metabolic model for a nitrifying organism to date, reaching an average prediction accuracy of over 90% under several growth conditions. The manually curated model can predict phenotypes under chemolithotrophic and chemolithoorganotrophic conditions while oxidating methane and wastewater pollutants.
It is the first upload of the model.
