To enable robust investigation of microbiota–host metabolic interactions, a targeted gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated by a research group at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (Heidelberg, Germany) for the simultaneous quantification of 120 chemically diverse gut microbiota–derived metabolites across multiple biological matrices. LCGC International recently spoke to Nikita Denisov and Michael Zimmermann, two of the authors of a paper resulting from this work.

This survey aims to establish the Minimum Information about Xenobiotics-Microbiome Biotransformation (MIX-MB) reporting standards. As we move toward an era of AI-driven discovery, the structural and f...

A study shows that social interactions in the nursery have a huge impact on babies’ microbiome development and may facilitate rapid strain recovery after antibiotic treatment.

The gut microbiota produces metabolites that are important for host physiology and have critical roles in the development of diseases, such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer....
