e:Bio - Innovations Competition Systems Biology

Within the e:Bio - Innovationswettbewerb Systembiologie (Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)), the SulfoSYSBIOTECH consortium (10 partners), aim to unravel the complexity and regulation of the carbon metabolic network of the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus (optimal growth at 80°C and pH 3) in order to provide new catalysts ‘extremozymes’ for utilization in White Biotechnology.

Based on the available S. solfataricus genome scale metabolic model (Ulas et al., 2012) ...

Integrated systems biology approach including transcriptome, metabolome, proteome analyses and modelling to elucidate amino acid degradation in S. solfataricus P2.

To investigate amino acid degradation pathways in Sulfolobus solfataricus transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analyses were performed on cells grown on caseinhydrolysate as carbon source. Cells grown with glucose served as reference condition. Metabolic modelling was used to compare the efficiency of different degradation routes.
