Rhododendron species have the potential to be rich in secondary metabolites with pharmaceutical or industrial value. However, there is a lack of in comprehensive metabolome studies at the genome level, particularly for unique and rare species like R. bailiense which exclusively grows in karst env...
Untargeted metabolomics is a popular method by which researchers measure a large portion of the metabolites present in a biological system at once. This approach usually results in complex data sets containing tens to hundreds of thousands of observations whi...
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technologies, which more closely mimic the complex microenvironment of tissue, are being increasingly evaluated as a tool for the preclinical screening of clinically promising new molecules, and studying of tissue metabolism. Studies of metabolites released int...
The bacterium Roseburia inulinivorans harbors enzymes predicted to be involved in coenzyme A (CoA) metabolism. To experimentally validate the source of pantetheine, we performed an in vitro co-culture of R. inulinivorans with CoA and analyzed metabolomic profiles. The results demonstrated a signi...
