Novel enzymes for amino acid biosynthesis in diverse bacteria and archaea: GapMind 2026
PLOS ·
The Brief
- PLOS Genetics published the GapMind 2026 paper on novel enzymes for amino acid biosynthesis in diverse bacteria and archaea.
- The paper is authored by Morgan N. Price and a multi-institution team including Adam P. Arkin and Adam M. Deutschbauer.
- The source excerpt provided does not give quantitative results, so specific findings beyond the title and scope are not covered here.
Why it matters
The work extends a curated database of amino acid biosynthesis pathways to additional bacteria and archaea, which can help researchers predict metabolic capabilities of microbes from genome sequences.
Who’s affected
- microbiologists and genomics researchers
- researchers studying amino acid metabolism and microbial biochemistry
