An Omnivore's Dilemma: Toxoplasma gondii's Flexible Metabolic Networks.

Abstract
Host cells provide protection from the environment for intracellular pathogens, but acquisition of nutrients and sensing of changes in the host cell bring new challenges. Krishnan et al. have recently developed a comprehensive genome-scale metabolic model (GEM) of the Toxoplasma gondii metabolic network that incorporates genetic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data.
