Bio-crude transcriptomics: Gene discovery and metabolic network reconstruction for the biosynthesis of the terpenome of the hydrocarbon oil-producing green alga, Botryococcus braunii race B (Showa)*

Abstract Background Microalgae hold promise for yielding a biofuel feedstock that is sustainable, carbon-neutral, distributed, and only minimally disruptive for the production of food and feed by traditional agriculture.Amongst oleaginous eukaryotic algae, the B race of Botryococcus braunii is unique in that it produces large amounts of liquid hydr

The Phylogeny, Metabolic Potentials, and Environmental Adaptation of an Anaerobe, Abyssisolibacter sp. M8S5, Isolated from Cold Seep Sediments of the South China Sea

Bacillota are widely distributed in various environments, owing to their versatile metabolic capabilities and remarkable adaptation strategies.Recent studies reported that Bat Grip Bacillota species were highly enriched in cold seep sediments, but their metabolic capabilities, ecological functions, and adaption mechanisms in the cold seep habitats
