This study involves the prediction of the function and structure of putative genes in the genome of Clostridium phytofermentans for the better elucidation of cellular metabolism. C. phytofermentans bacterial strain was used in this study. About 50 hypothetical genes were retrieved from the whole-genome of C. phytofermentans. KEGG, Pfam, UniProt, InterPro, ScanProsite, SMART, ProtParam, SignalP 4.0, TargetP 2.0, NCBI blast, HHpred, CPH modelling, PSIpred were the bioinformatic tools used in this study. Out of the 50 hypothetical genes, 2 genes were predicted. The function was analyzed for Cphy_0055 and Cphy_0085 and they showed an e value of 0.096, and 7.3e-19. Based on the bioinformatics online tools tentative function and structure for Cphy_0055 and Cphy_0085 were predicted. The functions were found to be similar to virulence-associated functions, and hydrolase for Cphy_0055 and Cphy_0085 respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
