Community Curation of Microbial Metabolites Enables Biological Insights of Metabolomics Data Microbial metabolites play a critical role in regulating ecosystems, including the human body and its microbiota. However, understanding the physiologically relevant role of these molecules, especially through liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based untargeted metabolomics, poses significant challenges and often requires manual parsing of a large amount of literature, databases, and webpages. To address this gap, we established the Collaborative Microbial Metabolite Center knowledgebase (CMMC-KB), a platform that fosters collaborative efforts within the scientific community to curate knowledge about microbial metabolites. The CMMC-KB aims to collect comprehensive information about microbial molecules originating from microbial biosynthesis, drug metabolism, exposure-related molecules, food, host-derived molecules, and, whenever available, their known activities. Molecules from other sources, including host-produced, dietary, and pharmaceutical compounds, are also included. By enabling direct integration of this knowledgebase with downstream analytical tools, including molecular networking, we can deepen insights into microbiota and their metabolites, ultimately advancing our understanding of microbial ecosystems.

🧪📣 Save the date for SETAC Europe 2016 @setac.bsky.social #SETACMaastricht !
Our Session title: "Integrating #Genomics, #Metabolomics, and Control Strategies to Address Harmful Algal and #Cyanobacterial Blooms", Chaired by Petra Visser, Dail Laughinghouse, @anastasiahiskia.bsky.social.

Implementing the MCheM setup is pretty easy, and all reagents and hardware components are commercially available and relatively cheap.
MCheM data analysis is supported in @mzmine.bsky.social @gnps2.bsky.social and SIRIUS (@brightgiant.bsky.social) and free for academic researchers.

Thanks so much to everybody who made this interdisciplinary project possible. And epically the editor and the three reviewers at @natcomms.nature.com for their throughout positive feedback.

Could a virus be our weapon against harmful blue-green algae? Cyanobacteria, a.k.a. blue-green algae, is a common problem on some cottage lakes. Could a virus hold the key to fighting it?

Don’t judge a lake by its colour.

In The Media: WI member Dr. Jozef Nissimov explores how viruses that attack cyanobacteria could help clear toxic algal blooms—but may leave behind hidden toxins.

Toxic algae releases chemicals to suppress competitors | Cornell Chronicle A new study examines how a cyanobacteria manipulates its environment to give itself advantages to take over the water column, leading to harmful algal blooms and mats in lakes during hot summers.

Are their any #cyanobacteria researchers that are affiliated with sciencemoab.org?

I remember there being an ad-hoc journal club related to this group, and I'd like to contact them. 🦠🧬👀

Just like

Marine #cyanobacteria are"the smallest known photosynthetic organisms; Prochlorococcus is the smallest at just 0.5 to 0.7 micrometres in diameter. The coccoid shaped cells are #nonMotile and #freeLiving."

Just living the life, soaking up some sun, chillin.

There are five flasks containing cyanobacteria cultures, four of which have different shades of green and one of which is pink

It’s always a very colorful day when one works with #cyanobacteria 🤩🧪🔬🥼
