A searchable metadata network graph for microbiome metabolomics

The paper introduces microbiomeMASST, a metadata network graph linking metabolites across datasets, enabling cross-study analysis of microbial metabolites and their biological context.

A Functional Metabolomics Framework to Track Microbiome Drug Metabolism

The paper develops a functional metabolomics framework using synthetic microbial communities and computational analysis to track drug metabolism by gut microbes, identifying metabolites and their correlations with microbial taxa.

The offensive role of the Bacillus extracellular matrix in driving metabolite-mediated dialogue and adaptive strategies with pathogenic fungi

This study shows that Bacillus subtilis uses its extracellular matrix protein TasA to suppress Botrytis cinerea by disrupting fungal structures and delivering antimicrobial compounds, while the fungus responds with adaptive strategies.
