  4. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM For the

    microbial ecologist, what can be cultured is the basis of his conception of what exists. This is exactly like learning about animals from visiting zoos. Carl Woese
  5. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM Great plate

    count anomaly Less than 1% of the microbes can be cultured under standard conditions.
  6. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM Challenges Usually

    a low coverage Dominant species Short sequences Data size ⇒ storage/memory/CPU intensive ⇒ software not developed for that No standard protocols ⇒ hard to compare

  8. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM GC analysis

    GC content = percentage of Guanine-Cytosine bp in the DNA/RNA influences a.o. Melting temperature of DNA/RNA Codon usage
  9. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM GC analysis

    - huge difference between soil and ocean water Foerstner et al., 2005
  10. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM GC analysis

    - further data confirms statement Raes et al., 2007
  11. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM GC analysis

    - possible influencing factors Nitrogen availability Genome size Ultraviolet light exposure and repair mechanism Codon usage of pioneers

  13. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM Metagenomics data

    sets as resources of biotech enzymes Many microbial enzymes are essential tools in e.g. the chemical, pharma and food industries Searching in metagenomic data sets might reveal new potent members of known enzymes classes
  14. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM Nitrilases Nitrile

    + water carboxylic acids + ammonia One protein Application in the chemical industry Stereo- and regio-specific conversion of nitriles
  15. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM Nitrilases -

  21. Intro GC Protein detection Nitrilases NHases PKS THM PKS I

    Polyketide synthases (PKS) create a heterogeneous group of secondary metabolites The synthesis is similar to the fatty acid synthesis Multiple domains We focused on polyketide synthases type I (PKS I)
