What types of stressors affect environmental metabolomics?

What techniques and methods are used for environmental metabolomic studies?

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.

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

Metabolic engineering is a dynamic field in biology that focuses on changes in metabolic pathways in living organisms to create new or improved products or processes.

Which science studies the metabolome of microbial communities?

Metabolomic analysis does not identify specific changes that occur in the metabolic profile of bacteria after exposure to heavy metal.

Ecometabolomics analyzes the metabolome, the total number of metabolites and their changes in response to environmental changes.

What is metabolomics?

Ecology is a science, a part of biology, that studies the interactions between organisms and the environment in which they live. The main subject of ecological study is ecosystems, interconnected networks of plants, animals, and other organisms in a given geographical area that depend on each other.
