The metabolic model for the near minimal organism Mesoplasma florum.
Complete knowledge of molecular mecanisms happening within a cell is likely to occur in a cell with a smaller genome. This pursuit, also termed a cellular chassis for synthetic biology, is the ultimate goal of minimal cells study. Given its ~800kb genome and 715 genes reported in Genbank, M. florum is poised to become a cellular chassis for synthetic biology. In that sense, this metabolic model gathers all the available knowledge on M. florum into a single computational framework.
