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,...

Contamination of fresh produce with human pathogens remains a serious public health and economic concerns due to the absence of effective kill steps in the farm-to-fork chain. In particular, the pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 has been implicated in multiple illness outbreaks linked to lettuc...

Metabolic networks are interconnected and influence diverse cellular processes. The protein-metabolite interactions that mediate these networks are frequently low affinity and challenging to systematically discover. We developed mass spectrometry integrated with equilibrium dialysis for the disco...

Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPHLC-HRMS) is used to discover and monitor single or sets of biomarkers informing about metabolic processes of interest. The technique can detect thousands of molecules (i.e., metabolites) in a single instrument run ...
