Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an ultracomplex mixture that plays a central role in global biogeochemical cycles. Despite its importance, DOM remains poorly understood at the molecular level. Over last decades, significant efforts have been made to decipher chemical composition of by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) and liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with tandem (MS/MS). Yet, complexity high degree nonresolved isomers still hamper full structural analysis DOM. To address this...
Feature-Based Molecular Networking (FBMN) is a popular analysis approach for LC-MS/MS-based non-targeted metabolomics data. While processing LC-MS/MS data through FBMN fairly streamlined, downstream handling and statistical interrogation often key bottleneck. Especially, users new to struggle effectively handle analyze complex matrices. In this protocol, we provide comprehensive guide the of results. We explain structure principles clean-up normalization, as well uni- multivariate...
In temperate regions experiencing rapid ocean warming, kelp forests are being replaced by chemically rich turf algae. However, the extent to which these algae alter surrounding chemical environment or affect rebound potential of (through mediated interactions) remains unknown. Here, we used underwater visual surveys, comprehensive profiling, and laboratory experiments reveal that release bioactive compounds into water fundamentally reef “chemical landscape” directly suppress recruitment....
