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.

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. Read the @cottagelife article: cottagelife.com/general/coul...#Cyanobacteria #AlgalBlooms

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?

Nostoc cyanobacteria by My Microscopic World

🚨 Fresh from the press! We created and analyzed over 100 in vitro cyanobacterial consortia using well-characterized model cyanobacterial hosts to better understand how cyanobacteria recruit and interact with their microbiomes. Check it out: doi.org/10.1093/isme...

Cyanobacteria and Crop Plants: Genetic Modification, Interaction Mechanisms, and Symbiotic Colonization

Cyanobacteria and Crop Plants: Genetic Modification, Interaction Mechanisms, and Symbiotic Colonization

The ever-increasing human population necessitates an urgent demand for ensuring food sovereignty through sustainable agriculture practices. Cyanobacteria, resilient photosynthetic microorganisms throughout the course of evolution, are found either freely or in symbiotic associations with a diverse range of lower and higher plants. Cyanobacteria-plants interactions are beneficial associations for both cyanobionts and crops. These symbiotic interactions benefit crop plants by producing valuable bioactive compounds to promote their growth and induce abiotic and biotic stress resistance. In this chapter, the first section pinpoints the genetically modified (GM) cyanobacteria and their potential in sustainable agriculture; it discusses the genetic engineering techniques employed in cyanobacteria and highlights some successful case studies showcasing the efficacy of GM cyanobacteria in agricultural settings. Then, cyanobacteria-plants interactions are explored, focusing on the intricate processes occurring in the rhizosphere. Finally, the associations of agricultural crops with different cyanobacterial strains are discussed. The lifestyle and ecological niches of cyanobacteria are also highlighted with an emphasis on their significance in establishing successful symbiotic relationships with crops. In addition, key benefits of cyanobacteria-plants symbiosis are outlined, including enhanced nutrient acquisition, increased plant growth, etc. Overall, we hope to broaden a deeper understanding of these mechanisms and interactions by harnessing the capabilities of cyanobacteria in promoting sustainable agriculture, particularly in developing countries.
