Abstract / Description of output
In this paper we describe applications of our ASAR package to functional, taxonomic and pathways analysis of metagenomes and propose future plans and perspectives. To illustrate an analytical potential of ASAR, we discuss outcomes of several projects. The main focus is made on metabolic plasticity of electrochemically active microbial communities and a potential role of integrated symbiotic bacterial interactions; antipathogenic properties of BES, manifested in its capacity to remove some pathogens from waste streams; and medical applications of this technology. We present ASAR-based metagenome analysis of evolving bacterial community from distillery waste over period of 36 months in BES environment as an example. Application of ASAR to personalised analyses of gut microbiome (GM) and the data interpretation based on publically available association studies are also discussed in this publication.
