Metagrowth -- a new resource for the building of metabolic hypotheses in microbiology
What you can do:
Search for information useful for designing axenic culture media for obligate parasitic bacteria.
Highlights:
- Metagrowth is developed to guide the experimental studies of culture conditions of obligate parasitic bacteria.
- Biological evidences giving possible clues to the development of the axenic growth of obligate parasites from various sources including published literature, genomic sequence information, metabolic databases and transporter databases are gathered for form the database.
- Currently, 200 entries are available for Rickettsia prowazekii, Rickettsia conorii, Tropheryma whipplei, Treponema pallidum, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Coxiella burnetii.
- The web interface of Metagrowth helps users to design new axenic culture media eventually suitable for those bacteria.
