This study identifies disaccharides as significant metabolites in alkane-oxidizing archaea and their bacterial partners, suggesting roles in energy storage and carbon cycling.

The paper uses spatial lipidomics to analyze the lipid profile of a parasitic bacterium in its native host tissue, revealing unique fatty acid adaptations.

This study shows predatory bacteria alter C. elegans microbiota, increasing vitamin B12 availability, which extends lifespan by suppressing a detoxification pathway.

This study identifies metabolic adaptations in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that enable their persistence in symbiosis with gutless marine worms, revealing a conserved core metabolism distinct from free-living relatives.

The paper identifies sphingolipids from a bacterial PKS as mediators of microbiota protection against pathogens in C. elegans.

The paper identifies fucose-rich oligosaccharides in deep ocean seawater, showing their selective preservation compared to surface ocean samples.

The paper evaluates spatial metabolomics protocols and technologies, showing extensive metabolite coverage and comparable results across imaging MS methods.

This study identifies differential regulation of degradation and immune pathways in the nematode Laxus oneistus under anoxic and hypoxic conditions.

An open-source cloud engine annotates imaging mass spectrometry data at controlled false discovery rate; publicly shared results reached over 3200 datasets and 6 million metabolite images by January 2019.
