MetabolomicsA Pathogen-Responsive Gene Cluster for Highly Modified Fatty Acids in Tomato
In response to biotic stress, plants produce suites of highly modified fatty acids that bear unusual chemical functionalities. Despite their chemical complexity and proposed roles in pathogen defense, little is known about the biosynthesis of decorated fatty acids in plants. Falcarindiol is a protot...

MetabolomicsDeciphering the metabolic perturbation in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: a 1H NMR-based metabolomics study

BACKGROUND: Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) is caused by the growth of Echinococcus multilocularis larvae in the liver. It is a chronic and potentially lethal parasitic disease. Early stage diagnosis for this disease is currently not available due to its long asymptomatic ...

MetabolomicsClovamide, a hydroxycinnamic acid amide, is a resistance factor against Phytophthora spp. in Theobroma cacao
The hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) are a diverse group of plant specialized phenylpropanoid metabolites distributed widely in the plant kingdom and are known to be involved in tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. The HCAA clovamide is reported in a small number of distantly related species. ...

MetabolomicsFecal microbiota transplantation plus anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in advanced melanoma: a phase I trial

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) represents a potential strategy to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with refractory melanoma; however, the role of FMT in first-line treatment settings has not been evaluated. We conducted a multicenter phase I trial combining ...

MetabolomicsChitin utilization by marine picocyanobacteria and the evolution of a planktonic lifestyle.
Marine picocyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, the most abundant photosynthetic cells in the oceans, are generally thought to have a primarily single-celled and free-living lifestyle. However, while studying the ability of picocyanobacteria to supplement photosynthetic car...

MetabolomicsMetabolic phenotyping of urine from a dementia research cohort
To better understand the molecular mechanisms underpinning physiological variation in human populations, metabolic phenotyping approaches are increasingly being applied to studies involving hundreds and thousands of biofluid samples. Hyphenated ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectromet...

MetabolomicsSponge exhalent seawater contains a unique chemical profile of dissolved organic matter
Sponges are efficient filter feeders, removing significant portions of particulate and dissolved organic matter (POM, DOM) from the water column. While the assimilation and respiration of POM and DOM by sponges and their abundant microbial symbiont communities have received much attention, there is ...

MetabolomicsExtreme genome diversity and cryptic speciation in a harmful algal bloom forming eukaryote

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) of the toxic haptophyte Prymnesium parvum are a recurrent problem in many inland and estuarine waters around the world. Strains of P. parvum vary in the toxins they produce and in other physiological traits associated with HABs, but the genetic basis ...

MetabolomicsViral infection of algal blooms leaves a unique metabolic footprint on the dissolved organic matter in the ocean

Algal blooms are hotspots of primary production in the ocean, forming the basis of the marine food web and fueling the dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool. Marine viruses are key players in controlling algal bloom demise, thereby diverting algal biomass from higher trophic levels to the DOM pool,...

MetabolomicsMolecular characterization of firefly nuptial gifts: a multi-omics approach sheds light on postcopulatory sexual selection
Postcopulatory sexual selection is recognized as a key driver of reproductive trait evolution, including the machinery required to produce endogenous nuptial gifts. Despite the importance of such gifts, the molecular composition of the non-gametic components of male ejaculates and their interactions...
