INTRODUCTION: The extraction solvent mixtures were optimized for untargeted metabolomics analysis of microbial communities from two laboratory scale activated sludge reactors performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR).
OBJECTIVE: To develop a ...
The roles of specific microbial metabolites in aging remains understudied. Here we examine the microbiome’s contribution to the metabolic profile in aged mice. Fecal samples were collected from 8-week-old (young) and 18-month-old (aged) female Swiss-Webster mice raised conventionally (Conv) ...
The metabolome includes not just known but also unknown metabolites; however, metabolite annotation remains the bottleneck in untargeted metabolomics. Ion mobility – mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has emerged as a promising technology by providing multi-dimensional characterizations of metabolites. He...
