Gene database of Metallosphaera sedula strain ARS50-1

Metallosphaera
sedula is a highly thermoacidophilic archaeon capable of mobilizing metals
from ores, and therefore find use in the field of bioleaching. This resource
sought to provide fundamental information about the genetic repertoire of M.
sedula ARS50-1 by parsing the annotated genome sequence of the archaeon
downloaded from Genbank. Comprising gene name, gene function, and gene
sequence, the resource should be useful for molecular cloning workflow to
heterologously express genes relevant to bioleaching in established microbial
chassis such as Escherichia coli. In addition, the gene database should
also inform functional genomics studies seeking to decode the
genetic-physiological nexus of this thermoacidophile.
