Abstract: Genome-scale metabolic models have proven to be valuable for predicting organism phenotypes from genotypes. Yet efforts to develop new models are failing to keep pace with genome sequencing. To address this problem, we introduce the Model SEED, a web-based resource for high-throughput generation, optimization and analysis of genome-scale metabolic models. The Model SEED integrates existing methods and introduces techniques to automate nearly every step of this process, taking approximately 48 h to reconstruct a metabolic model from an assembled genome sequence. We apply this resource to generate 130 genome-scale metabolic models representing a taxonomically diverse set of bacteria. Twenty-two of the models were validated against available gene essentiality and Biolog data, with the average model accuracy determined to be 66% before optimization and 87% after optimization.

TL;DR: This work interpreted pan-reactomes as dynamic pools of metabolic reactions that are potentially gained or lost and simulated the routes along which different lineages lose reactions in alternative environments, allowing us to disentangle metabolic reactions whose presence does not depend on the metabolite composition of the external environment.
