Welcome to microbe.cards

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.

Microbe of the Day: Pseudoalteromonas donghaensis

Pseudoalteromonas donghaensis is a marine bacterium that has garnered attention due to its unique biochemical capabilities and potential applications in biotechnology. Isolated from seawater, this organism is part of the Pseudoalteromonas genus, which is known for its diverse metabolic pathways and ability to produce a variety of bioactive compounds. One of the most interesting aspects of P. donghaensis is its production of antimicrobial substances, which can inhibit the growth of various pathogenic microorganisms, making it a candidate for developing new antibiotics or preservatives in food and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, P. donghaensis exhibits enzymatic activities that are valuable for biotechnological applications, particularly in the degradation of complex organic materials. This characteristic positions it as a potential player in bioremediation efforts, where it could help in the breakdown of pollutants in marine environments. The organism's ability to thrive in extreme marine conditions also makes it a subject of interest for studies on microbial adaptation and resilience. Understanding the genetic and metabolic pathways that allow P. donghaensis to survive in such environments could provide insights into evolutionary biology and the potential for discovering novel bioproducts. Overall, Pseudoalteromonas donghaensis stands out not only for its ecological role in marine ecosystems but also for its promising applications in medicine and environmental science, making it a valuable organism for ongoing research.
