Unlocking a Greater Perspective: Mapping the Chemical Space of Biomes Using Sirius

Untargeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for analyzing the immense chemical complexity of natural environments. However, interpreting such large datasets remains a significant challenge. To overcome this, researchers have developed an innovative approach using SIRIUS that prioritizes chemical profiling over exhaustive identification. This method allows for more effective comparisons of (micro-)biomes, providing deeper insights into biochemical diversity across different environments.

Befriend your competitor: CSI:FingerID identifies metabolite linked to dual-species biofilm pathogenesis in cystic fibrosis

In the world of microbiology, there’s an ongoing battle between different bacterial species competing for survival and dominance. However, under certain conditions, two species can actually thrive together in a dual-species biofilm. The cooperation between P. aeruginosa and S. aureus in cystic fibrosis leads to increased disease severity. But so far, only little is known about the chemical communication mechanisms between those bacteria. CSI:FingerID identifies a metabolite that could be related to the increased pathogenesis of this dual-species biofilm in cystic fibrosis.
