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.

Citrobacter farmeri is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, notable for its role in both environmental and clinical settings. This organism is particularly interesting due to its ability to thrive in diverse habitats, including soil, water, and the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans. One of the unique aspects of C. farmeri is its potential for bioremediation, as it can degrade various pollutants, making it a candidate for environmental cleanup efforts. In clinical contexts, C. farmeri has been implicated in opportunistic infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Its resilience and adaptability in various environments highlight its evolutionary significance and potential for further research into microbial resistance mechanisms. Moreover, C. farmeri has been studied for its metabolic capabilities, including the fermentation of different carbohydrates, which can provide insights into microbial metabolism and its applications in biotechnology. The organism's genetic diversity also presents opportunities for exploring genetic adaptations and evolutionary processes within the Citrobacter genus. Overall, Citrobacter farmeri serves as a valuable model for understanding microbial ecology, pathogenicity, and biotechnological applications.
