摘要： Methods and systems for knowledge pattern search and analysis for selecting microorganisms based on desired metabolic properties or biological behaviors are disclosed in various embodiments of the invention. In one embodiment of the invention, a computer-implemented method for selecting a purpose-specific microorganism first compiles microorganisms' profiles by linking each microorganism's methanogenic, hydrogenic, electrogenic, another metabolic property, and/or another biological behavior to genetic and chemical fingerprints of metabolic and energy-generating biological pathways. Then, based on the compiled profiles of the microorganisms, the computer-implemented method groups the microorganisms into pathway characteristics using machine-learning and pattern recognition performed on a computer system, and subsequently generates a prediction called “discovered characteristics” for a desired metabolic property or a desired biological behavior of at least one microorganism. Furthermore, a profile match score may be calculated to indicate usefulness of one or more microorganisms for renewable energy generation from biological waste materials or wastewater.
