How Scientists Are Eavesdropping on Microbes To Revolutionize Research

Credit: SciTechDaily.comUsing a database of over 60,000 bacteria curated by researchers from across the globe, the brand-new search tool instantly matches microbes to the metabolites they produce.Researchers from the University of California San Diego, as part of a big cooperation with researchers around the world, have actually established a brand-new search tool to assist scientists much better understand the metabolism of microbes.”Reference: “microbeMASST: a taxonomically informed mass spectrometry search tool for microbial metabolomics information” by Simone Zuffa, Robin Schmid, Anelize Bauermeister, Paulo Wender P.
