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

This study quantifies amine- and alcohol-containing exometabolites from six phytoplankton species, revealing taxonomic variation in exometabolite composition and its impact on marine carbon cycling.

Habitat and Hydrodynamics Influence Coral Reef and Seagrass Microbial and Exometabolite Dynamics

The paper examines how habitat and hydrodynamics affect microbial and exometabolite dynamics in coral reef and seagrass ecosystems.

Seasonal patterns of exometabolites depend on microbial functions in the oligotrophic ocean

The paper examines seasonal exometabolite patterns in the oligotrophic ocean, linking microbial functions to DOM dynamics and showing DOM composition is more stable than microbial community structure.

Uptake of Prochlorococcus-derived metabolites by Alteromonas macleodii MIT1002 shows high levels of substrate specificity

This study shows that Alteromonas macleodii MIT1002 selectively uptakes specific metabolites from Prochlorococcus, highlighting the importance of transporter specificity in microbial interactions with dissolved organic matter.

Global niche partitioning of purine and pyrimidine cross-feeding among ocean microbes

The paper identifies purine and pyrimidine cross-feeding networks among ocean microbes, revealing niche partitioning and potential cryptic nitrogen cycles driven by Prochlorococcus and SAR11 interactions.

Advancing Reef Monitoring Techniques through Exometabolomics: Quantification of Labile Dissolved Organic Metabolites on Coral Reefs

This study quantifies polar exometabolites on coral reefs using chemical derivatization and mass spectrometry, identifying 23 previously undetected metabolites and showing geographic variability.

AutoTuner: High fidelity, robust, and rapid parameter selection for metabolomics data processing

AutoTuner improves metabolomics data processing by rapidly and robustly selecting parameters, outperforming existing methods in speed and consistency.

Pangenomics reveal diversification of enzyme families and niche specialization in globally abundant SAR202 bacteria

The paper analyzes SAR202 bacterial genomes to show paralog expansions correlate with metabolic specialization and niche adaptation across ocean depths and regions.
