Descrição

Anaerobic microorganisms are attractive for the synthesis of fuels and chemicals, but information on the physiology of culturable anaerobes is dispersed in scientific literature. Herewith we present the ProFuelDB, a web-based publicly available database prototype compiling information on the physiology of anaerobic prokaryotes with relevance for biofuels production. It is foreseen that this prototype will evolve into a broader database of physiological properties of anaerobic prokaryotes with biotechnological relevance.
