Welcome to your CLP 8 EN Exam

Metabolites are small molecules, such as amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides, and other end or intermediate products of metabolism, that play a key role in cellular processes.

Microbial communities are crucial for the maintenance of life and are closely related to the chemical and physical properties of the living environment.

What techniques and methods are used for environmental metabolomic studies?

Which omics approaches are crucial for characterizing microbiomes in relation to environmental management, monitoring, and bioremediation?

The discovery and study of macroorganisms’ eDNA is essential for biodiversity conservation purposes.

Analytical techniques used to track metabolites include: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), FPLC, mass spectrometry, 1D-PAGE, mathematics, and computer science.

eDNA metabarcoding comprises taking environmental samples, extracting RNA, amplifying it through PCR with general or universal primers, and sequencing the amplification product through NGS to generate a huge amount of raw sequencing data.

Metatranscriptomics is a high-throughput, culture-independent method for quantifying the levels of expressed mRNA from complex microbial communities.

Metabolomics provides a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the metabolic products secreted from the microbial community under different environmental conditions.

Which science studies the metabolome of microbial communities?
