Abstract:
The present invention disclosed is a method for screening metabolites essential for the growth of microorganism using metabolic flux analysis. More specifically, the present invention relates to the method for screening metabolites essential for the growth of microorganism, by selecting a target microorganism, constructing a metabolic network model of the selected microorganism, inactivating the consumption reaction of each of metabolites in the constructed metabolic network model, analyzing the metabolic flux of the metabolites to select metabolites essential for the growth of the microorganism, and confirming the selected metabolites using the utilization of each of the metabolites, defined as flux sum (Φ). According to the present invention, metabolites essential for the growth of microorganism, and genes involved in the essential metabolites, can be screened in a convenient manner, and drug-target genes against pathogenic microorganisms can be predicted by deleting genes associated with the metabolites screened according to the method.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an in silico method for improving an organism on the basis of the flux sum (φ) of metabolites, and more particularly to a method for screening key metabolites that increase the production yield of a useful substance, the method comprising defining the metabolite utilization of an organism for producing a useful substance as flux sum and perturbing the flux sum, as well as a method for improving an organism producing a useful substance, the method comprising deleting and/or amplifying genes associated with the aforementioned screened key metabolites. According to the present invention, the correlation between specific metabolites and useful substance production can be exactly predicted, so that it is possible to develop an organism having increased useful substance production by introducing and/or amplifying and/or deleting genes expressing enzymes associated with the specific metabolites. In addition, it is also possible to increase the production of a useful substance by adding specific metabolites during culture.
Abstract:
A battery module includes a plurality of unit batteries disposed apart at intervals and a plurality of barriers interposed between the unit batteries. Each of the barriers includes a base supported on the unit battery and a plurality of protrusions extending from the base and contacting the unit battery. The protrusions are formed of an insulation material. In addition, the protrusions may be fixed onto the base in a staggered arrangement along columns and rows so that a certain angular arrangement between the alignment of protrusions is achieved, thereby maximizing cooling efficiency.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method for improving a strain on the basis of in silico analysis, in which it compares the genomic information of a target strain for producing a useful substance to the genomic information of a strain overproducing the useful substance so as to primarily screen genes unnecessary for the overproduction of the useful substance, and then to secondarily screen genes to be deleted through performing simulation with metabolic flux analysis. According to the present invention, an improved strain can be effectively constructed by the metabolic and genetic engineering approach comprising comparatively analyzing the genomic information of a target strain for producing a useful substance and the genomic information of a strain producing a large amount of the useful substance to screen candidate genes and performing in silico simulation on the screened candidate genes to select a combination of genes to be deleted, which shows an improvement in the production of the useful substance. Accordingly, the time, effort and cost required for an actual wet test can be significantly reduced.
