microstressDB – Carrionlab

microSTRESS is an automated screening tool that scans the predicted proteome of a bacterium against a curated database of stress-alleviating gene families. It is designed for researchers working with plant-associated and environmental bacteria who want to rapidly identify genes involved in osmotic, oxidative, heat, and other stress-tolerance pathways.

Simply upload your protein FASTA file and enter your email address. The analysis runs on our server and you will receive a notification with a link to your personalised interactive HTML report — typically within a few minutes.

Input: predicted proteome in protein FASTA format (.faa or .fasta) — e.g. the .faa output from Prokka, RAST, or an NCBI genome annotation
Output: interactive HTML report with BLAST hit tables, identity & score charts, and a per-pathway summary
Limit: max 100 MB per file

Your file is processed confidentially and automatically removed from our server within 24 hours. Only your email address and filename are retained for usage statistics.

The creation of this tool was funded by the project Microbial Induction of Plant Resilience to Drought Stress (MicroRes) funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) under the Open Technology Program (grant ID 18986). microSTRESS is currently running on the Picasso server of Malaga University.
