Annotation-free prediction of microbial dioxygen utilization

ABSTRACT Aerobes require dioxygen (O2) to grow; anaerobes do not. However, nearly all microbes—aerobes, anaerobes, and facultative organisms alike—express enzymes whose substrates include O2, if only for detoxification. This presents a challenge when trying to assess which organisms are aerobic from...
