The MycoSynVac project AIMS at using cutting-edge synthetic biology methodologies to engineer Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a universal chassis for vaccination.
Designing a universal Mycoplasma chassis that can be deployed as single- or multi-vaccine in a range of animal hosts. Annually, infections caused by Mycoplasma species in poultry, cows, and pigs result in multimillion Euro losses in the USA and Europe.
There is no effective vaccination against many Mycoplasmas that infect pets, humans and farm

1. To develop a whole-cell dynamic model framework of the metabolism of M. pneumoniae
2. To build upon M. pneumoniae models to develop a genome-scale, constraint-based model of M.
hyopneumoniae for vaccine optimization
3. To deploy the metabolic model(s) to: 1) the rational design and optimization of the vaccine chassis; 2)
aid the development of a higher-growth rate chassis; 3) assist the development of a nutrient optimized a
serum-free growth medium and; 4) assess, at genome scale, the metabolic

Internal metabolites concentrations for time series data (not pulse experiments) and for mutant OE, KO mutants and perturbations
External metabolite concentrations for time series data (not pulse experiments) and for mutant OE, KO mutants and perturbations
Mutant (OE, KO, perturbation) metabolite measurements

Validation of the core model of glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism and ATPase reaction using OE, KO mutant samples and perturbation samples

Validation by simulating independent OE, KO mutant and perturbation samples, using sampling of the gausian distribution based on the mean and SD of measurements per sample. A 1000 samples of the gausian distribution of the mean and SD was performed per sample to show error in the measurements and how it propegates in predicted metabolite concentration in SS

Metabolomics time series measurements for internal metabolites for 6h, 24h and 48h for multiple experiments. Largely based on MAss spectrometry, bioluminescence kits to measure NAD, NADH at 24h, other time points are infered from relative measurements times the absolute measurements at 24h.

Contains the analysis of the internal metabolite concentrations of the 40 independend samples
Pearson correlation was used to generate heatmaps
Pearson correlation with p-value cutof of 0.001 was used and as input for a correlation network (grouping using H-clust)
Principal component analysis was performed on samples, F-ion and H-ion data combined and seperately
Zip files contains the data (FC.txt), PCA and heatmap plots and the script to re-generate these plots
