X Abstract

The MG1655 genome has been completely sequenced. The annotated sequence, biochemical information, and other information were used to reconstruct the metabolic map. The stoichiometric coefficients for each metabolic enzyme in the metabolic map were assembled to construct a genome-specific stoichiometric matrix. The stoichiometric matrix was used to define the system's characteristics and the capabilities of metabolism. The effects of gene deletions in the central metabolic pathways on the ability of the metabolic network to support growth were assessed, and the predictions were compared with experimental observations. It was shown that based on stoichiometric and capacity constraints the analysis was able to qualitatively predict the growth potential of mutant strains in 86% of the cases examined. Herein, it is demonstrated that the synthesis of metabolic genotypes based on genomic, biochemical, and strain-specific information is possible, and that systems analysis methods are available to analyze and interpret the metabolic phenotype.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
