Proteome database of Klebsiella oxytoca

<i>Klebsiella oxytoca</i> is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium closely associated with <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>. Indole-positive, the bacterium is able to colonize the rhizosphere of plants, and helps in nitrogen fixation. This work presents the proteome database of <i>K. oxytoca</i> that encompass the protein name, amino acid sequence, molecular weight, number of residues and nucleotide sequence of all proteins in the proteome of the organism. Specifically, the proteome information was obtained from UniProt, and an in-house MATLAB software was used in calculating the number of residues, molecular weight, and nucleotide sequence of each protein in the proteome. Collectively, this resource should find use in functional genomics studies seeking to understand the roles of genes underlying specific cellular processes in the bacterium, but, more importantly, why a close relative of a pathogen (<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i>) turned out to deliver beneficial roles to plant in the rhizosphere microbiome.
