Insights into genome plasticity of the wine-making bacterium Oenococcus oeni strain ATCC BAA-1163 by decryption of its whole genome.
International audience; Studying genomes of O. oeni strains having opposite oenological aptitudes is important for understanding why this lactic acid bacterium involved in malolactic fermentation is so well adapted to wine. Here, the genome of a strain ATCC BAA-1163, is described and compared with the recently reported genome of the better wine-adapted strain PSU-1. The BAA-1163 genome (8X) was obtained by shotgun sequencing and Phrap assembling. Compact and 62% AT-rich, it consists of a circular 1,792,103-bp chromosome and a 3,948-bp plasmid. It was analysed through a CAAT-Box annotation platform and manually inspected. A total of 51 RNA genes were detected, including two rRNA operons (the…
CYGD: the Comprehensive Yeast Genome Database.
The comprehensive resource is available under http://mips.gsf.de/genre/proj/yeast/.; International audience; The Comprehensive Yeast Genome Database (CYGD) compiles a comprehensive data resource for information on the cellular functions of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related species, chosen as the best understood model organism for eukaryotes. The database serves as a common resource generated by a European consortium, going beyond the provision of sequence information and functional annotations on individual genes and proteins. In addition, it provides information on the physical and functional interactions among proteins as well as other genetic elements. These cellular network…
