The fresh water flea D. magna, a planktonic crustacean, is a model organism commonly used in aquatic ecotoxicology studies.
N. crassa has the unique advantage of being a National Institutes of Health (NIH) model organism, most commonly known for its role proving the "one gene, one enzyme" hypothesis [ 10].
Studies on the recognition and metabolism of galactomannan and pectin have not been performed in cellulosome-producing Clostridia because the commonly used model organisms, C. cellulolyticum and C. thermocellum, are unable to metabolize these substrates.
Two model fungal strains, the wild type of Neurospora crassa – a commonly used model organisms – and the ro-1 mutant strain of this species impaired in hyphal growth and morphology, have been chosen to demonstrate the potential of this new methodology.
Reactome has pathways for a selected number of organisms, representing mostly the commonly used model organisms.
An important GETPrime drawback is that it is so far available only for five commonly used model organisms including humans.
In all commonly studied model organisms, Aurora B localization is confined to (inner) centromeres during prometaphase and metaphase.
Because these are the two most commonly used model organisms in pharmacology and toxicology, large divergences in their response to particular compounds is of broad interest.
However, the availability of genetic tools, like a dense genome-wide SNP marker set, is still subordinate compared to other commonly used model organisms.
By default, the whole eukaryotic phylogenetic tree is used, highlighting only those commonly used model organisms (and their major common ancestors).
