Project description:This is the first genome-scale model of G. dulcis, an extremely desiccation-tolerant cyanobacterium isolated from the Atacama desert by Azua-Bustos et al. (2014). We sequenced, closed, and annotated the G. dulcis genome, and created the model using KBase, and COBRApy. We included cyanobacterium-based photosynthesis reactions based on Toyoshima et al. (2020).
