Metabolomics13C metabolomics reveals widespread change in carbon fate during coral bleaching
INTRODUCTION: Rising seawater temperatures are threatening the persistence of coral reefs; where above critical thresholds, thermal stress results in a breakdown of the coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis and the loss of algal symbionts (coral bleaching). As symbiont-derived organic products typically fo...

MetabolomicsHierarchical Carbon Metabolism in Iron-Deficient Bacteria Favors Iron-Scavenging Strategy

High-affinity iron (Fe) scavenging compounds, or siderophores, are widely employed by soil bacteria to survive scarcity in bioavailable Fe. Siderophore biosynthesis relies on cellular carbon metabolism, despite reported decrease in both carbon uptake and Fe-containing metabolic proteins in Fe-def...

MetabolomicsCharacterization of Phytoplankton-Excreted Metabolites Mediating Carbon Flux through the Surface Ocean

The marine labile dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is a dynamic reservoir of thousands of molecules. After excretion or release by phytoplankton and other microbes, metabolites are rapidly consumed, resulting in very low standing concentrations (picomolar to low nanomolar). To date, marine phy...

MetabolomicsUnlocking soil carbon potential in giant panda habitat

Forest management in giant panda habitats necessitates strategies that simultaneously support biodiversity and ecosystem carbon sequestration. Here, we demonstrate that protecting understory vegetation is indispensable for sustaining the soil carbon sink in restored subalpine coniferous plantatio...

MetabolomicsAn obligate aerobe adapts to hypoxia by hybridising fermentation with carbon storage
In soil ecosystems, obligately aerobic bacteria survive oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) by entering non-replicative persistent states. Little is known about how these bacteria rewire their metabolism to stay viable during persistence. The model obligate aerobe Mycobacterium smegmatis maintains redox ho...

MetabolomicsPositional Enrichment by Proton Analysis (PEPA): a One-Dimensional 1H-NMR Approach for 13C Stable Isotope Tracer Studies in Metabolomics
A novel metabolomics approach for NMR-based stable isotope tracer studies called PEPA is presented, and its performance validated using human cancer cells. PEPA detects the position of carbon label in isotopically enriched metabolites and quantifies fractional enrichment by indirect determination of...

MetabolomicsMultiomics of tomato glandular trichomes reveals distinct features of central carbon metabolism supporting high productivity of specialized metabolites
Glandular trichomes are metabolic cell factories with the capacity to produce large quantities of secondary metabolites. Little is known about the connection between central carbon metabolism and metabolic productivity for secondary metabolites in glandular trichomes. To address this gap in our know...

MetabolomicsComposition and consumption of dissolved organic carbon in seawater under sea ice

Polar regions are an under-studied environment within the global ocean, with seawater found under sea ice particularly under-sampled. This project provides concentrations of select dissolved organic carbon compounds found in under-ice seawater sampled between March and May 2023. The dissolved org...

MetabolomicsSerine and 1-carbon metabolism are required for HIF-mediated protection against retinopathy of prematurity
We determined which metabolic pathways are activated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1-mediated (HIF-1-mediated) protection against oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) in newborn mice, the experimental correlate to retinopathy of prematurity, a leading cause of infant blindness. HIF-1 coordinates the chang...

MetabolomicsVariations in carbon flux allocation among cassava (Manihot esculenta) cultivars arise from balanced competition between starch accumulation and structural component development

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) storage roots exhibit significant variation in starch content among cultivars, yet the metabolic and molecular mechanisms governing carbon allocation between storage and structural components remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated carbon partitioning in...
