Abstract
Microbial nitrogen fixation (diazotrophy) is a critical ecological process. We curated DiazoTIME (Diazotroph Taxonomic Identity and MEtabolism), a comprehensive database of diazotroph genomes including taxonomic annotation and metabolic prediction. DiazoTIME is unique among databases for classifying diazotrophs because it resolves both taxonomy and metabolic functionality.
