Heterologous complementation of the exopolysaccharide synthesis and carbon utilization phenotypes of<i>Sinorhizobium meliloti</i>Rm1021 polyhydroxyalkanoate synthesis mutants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A reduced exopolysaccharide phenotype is associated with inability to synthesize polyhydroxyalkanaote (PHA) stores in Sinorhizobium meliloti strain Rm1021. Loss of function mutations in phbB and phbC result in non-mucoid colony morphology on Yeast Mannitol Agar, compared to the mucoid phenotype exhibited by the parental strain. This phenotype is attributed to reduction in succinoglycan synthesis. We have used complementation of this phenotype and the previously described D-3-hydroxybutyrate/acetoacetate utilization phenotype to isolate a heterologous clone containing a Bradyrhizobium japonicum phbC gene. Sequence analysis confirmed that this clone contains one of the five predicted phbC genes in the B. japonicum genome. The described phenotypic complementation strategy should be useful for isolation of novel PHA synthesis genes of diverse origin.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
