Mobilisation of data for GFBio services - Bacterial Descriptions Use Case

The description of five comprehensively annotated bacterial strains have been imported into the DiversityDescriptions in the course of the project GFBio (www.gfbio.org). The purpose of this mobilization is the availability of taxon-related descriptive information for the GFBio data portal following various standard schemas, e.g. SDD, Delta for the test and development of data pipelines and work flows.
The data has been manually annotated out of species descriptions derived by results of recently completed and ongoing projects carried out and published by researchers at the DSMZ. The ecological and environmental relevance of these strains is given by their participation in nitrogen and carbon cycles (significant exoenzyme activity) within their particular habitat. The detailed documented metabolic and physiologic profile of each strain indicates their significant adaptation to the soils of different climates. Hence, these strains are important biotic components of their environment.
Besides the availability of these data sets within DiversityDescriptions, the detailed descriptions can also be retrieved from the BacDive - The Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase ( http://bacdive.dsmz.de) portal:
