BIOSYSMOdb: Curated Database for Biodegradation and Bioremediation

BIOSYSMOdb is a comprehensive and integrative database developed as part of BIOSYSMO project. This resource centralizes data on metabolic pathways, reactions, enzymes, and degradative organisms to address soil contamination caused by industrial, agricultural, and urban activities. BIOSYSMOdb serves as a bridge between computational and experimental research, offering a unified platform to accelerate bioremediation solutions.

Dataset Description

BIOSYSMOdb integrates curated and synthesized data from major public repositories: EAWAG BBD, MibPOPdb, MetaCyc, Uniprot, and KEGG. The database includes:

Chemical level: Details on compounds relevant for biodegradation.

Metabolic level: Data on pathways, reactions, enzymes, and organisms associated with degradation.

Organism level: Information on degradative organisms and their genomic data.

Protein level: Information on enzymes in charge of each reaction and their sequence data associates (if available)

Data Structure

The following files are included in the dataset:

BIOSYSMOdb_Compounds_chemical_iden_v1.0.csv: Compounds identifiers iferred for other databases

BIOSYSMOdb_Compounds_chemical_info_v1.0.csv: Compounds information collected from public sources

BIOSYSMOdb_Compounds_onthology_cod_v1.0.csv: Compounds onthology codes derived from Classyfire

BIOSYSMOdb_Compounds_onthology_term_v1.0.csv: Compounds onthology terms derived from Classyfire

BIOSYSMOdb_Pathways_v1.0.csv: Pathways dataset

BIOSYSMOdb_Reactions_v1.0.csv: Reactions dataset (containing substrates, products, enzymes and pathways associated)

BIOSYSMOdb_Enzymes_v1.0.csv: Reactions dataset (containing reactions associated)

BIOSYSMOdb_Compounds_v1.0.csv: Compounds principal dataset

BIOSYSMOdb_Organisms_v1.0.csv: Organisms principal dataset (containing pathways associated and NCBI Genome ID when available)

CSV Descriptions

Compound ID: Unique identifier for each compound.

Pathway Name: Name of the metabolic pathway.

Reaction ID: Identifier for individual reactions.

Enzyme/Protein ID: Unique identifier for associated enzymes.

Organism Name: Name of the degradative organism.

Jupyter Notebook for querying BIOSYSMOdbTo facilitate data exploration and connections within the CSV files, a Jupyter Notebook, BIOSYSMO_database_queries, has been created. This notebook enables users to analyze relationships between different datasets and execute relevant queries efficiently.
