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 ...
Direct infusion mass spectrometry (DI-MS) offers a rapid, high-throughput analysis and, compared to liquid chromatography MS (LC-MS), a different analytical window into the composition of complex biological samples. However, the lack of chromatographic separation in DI-MS results in highly comple...
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...
Zygostelma benthamii has been prized for its medicinal properties and is similar to ginseng. However, the specific chemicals in its various parts and their relationship to its therapeutic effects have not been thoroughly researched. Thus, we used a comprehensive metabolomics approach, LC-MS/MS an...
