How many types of microbial trait information are integrated into this database?

It integrates and organizes seven important types of trait information, such as culture temperature and pH.

From how many microbial strain records and databases was the information collected?

The information was collected from approximately 67,000 microbial strain records listed in five major databases.

What are smart cells as described in the field of biomaterial manufacturing?

Smart cells are biological cells whose material production capabilities have been artificially maximized.

How did researchers search for microorganisms before this database was launched?

Previously, researchers had to manually search for microorganisms by reviewing data one by one in individual databases.

NQ Score 100/100

AI Summary (NQ-processed)

As part of NEDO's commissioned project 'Development of Bio-derived Product Production Technology to Accelerate Carbon Recycling' (hereinafter referred to as 'this project'), the National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE) has developed and launched the 'Microorganism Selection Support Tool,' an integrated database that allows cross-sectional searches for microorganisms with desired characteristics from globally published major databases, based on their trait information. This marks the first time such an integrated database capable of searching for microbial species from trait information in Japanese has been developed domestically.
