This platform represents an effort to synchronize phenotypic information for microbes. We have applied and collected various models, primarily Large Language Model (LLM) based, to predict phenotypes and compare these predictions to high-quality phenotypes documented in scientific literature or phenotyping studies. For each microbe, we've generated a "card" page that collects this information and illustrates how the predictions overlap with ground truth. Additionally, we provide model performance estimates for widely used public LLM models based on these high-quality data. Use the search functionality below to explore these microbe cards and compare predictions with documented phenotypes.

Streptomyces cahuitamycinicus is a fascinating actinobacterium notable for its ability to produce a variety of bioactive compounds, particularly antibiotics. This species is part of the Streptomyces genus, which is renowned for its prolific secondary metabolite production, making it a significant player in pharmaceutical research and development. One of the most interesting aspects of S. cahuitamycinicus is its potential in the discovery of novel antimicrobial agents, which is crucial in the ongoing battle against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. The organism was first isolated from soil samples in the Cahuita National Park in Costa Rica, highlighting its ecological niche and the importance of biodiversity in drug discovery. Its unique habitat contributes to the distinct metabolic pathways that may lead to the synthesis of compounds not found in other Streptomyces species. Research on S. cahuitamycinicus has revealed its capability to produce cahuitamycin, a compound with promising antibacterial properties. This underscores the organism's potential as a source of new therapeutic agents. Furthermore, the genetic and biochemical pathways involved in the biosynthesis of these compounds are of great interest to researchers, as they can provide insights into the mechanisms of natural product formation. In summary, Streptomyces cahuitamycinicus stands out not only for its ecological significance but also for its potential contributions to medicine, making it a valuable subject for ongoing research in microbiology and pharmacology.
